Online lecture by Dr. Stefano Rizzo, Dr. Mohamad Saad, Dr. Sanjay Chawla.
This is the fourth lecture in the series "AI and Data Science for COVID-19 Data" lecture series by the Qatar Center for Artificial Intelligence.

Epidemiological models are compartmental models that simulate the evolution of infectious disease outbreaks. The results of an epidemic simulation strictly depend on the model’s parameters; biological and others related to demographics and lifestyle.

This lecture will introduce the simplest compartmental models. It will also show how it is possible to extend the traditional SIR model, with the final aim of simulating outbreak scenarios under different policies and country’s specifics.

When epidemiologists are faced with addressing questions that are too difficult, expensive or dangerous to test in the real world, they turn to mathematical modeling. Hear how scientists from the Institute for Disease Modeling are using models to guide global efforts towards the eradication and control of infectious diseases.

This video will cover the some of the things that mathematics and epidemiological models can teach us about disease spread. We’ll first look at some of the most commonly used models, explore some of their useful applications, and finally, verify our findings using both a virtual simulation and statistics for the real world example of measles.

The field of study of chaos has its roots in differential equations and dynamical systems, the very language that is used to describe how any physical system evolves in the real world. This video aims to tell the story of chaos step by step, from simple non-chaotic systems, to different types of attractors, to fractal spaces and the language of unpredictability.

The Jackson Laboratory's (JAX) Education team hosted a special Education-Interest-Group session on Racism in STEM. Over 100 JAX employees attended the event, which aimed to start important discussions.

Kai Mills is a former JAX summer student & current English teacher. Torrian Green is a behavioral research specialist in JAX’s Center for Biometric Analysis. Lawal Raman is a postdoc in the Dumont lab who studies the patterns of genetic mechanisms that give rise to genetic diversity in house mouse populations. Maya Caines is a program coordinator for JAX Genomic Education.

The contributions of Black women in science throughout history is highly underrepresented and not adequately taught in schools. Host Dr. Eleanor Seaton sits down with Dr. Sheretta Butler-Barnes to discuss her initiative to promote a curriculum that inspires young Black girls to pursue an education and career in STEM.

Recently, Lola Eniola-Adefeso and colleagues published a commentary in Cell describing the systemic inequities in research funding through the NIH, which have created a barrier to the success of Black scientists. By funding applications from Black investigators at approximately half the rate of similarly trained white investigators, the NIH has created a burden on Black scientists that leads some to abandon academia, and slows or blocks promotion of others, limiting their scientific achievement and career trajectory.

In this webinar, Eniola-Adefeso shares her personal journey through academia and the set of recommendations offered in the article for NIH policies to eliminate the funding disparity, as well as action items for fellow scientists, the private sector, and academia to overcome the racism that is endemic in the sciences.

This event was moderated by Pat Stayton, PhD, Director, Molecular Engineering and Sciences Institute, University of Washington

About the Speaker:
Lola Eniola-Adefeso is the University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan, as well as a Miller Scholar and Vice Chair for Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan. She is also the co-founder of Asalyxa Bio, which is developing an innate immune cell targeting platform to treat inflammatory diseases.

This event was held as part of our series Amplified: Race and Reality in STEM on February 22, 2021. Amplified: Race and Reality in STEM aims to give a national platform to speakers to have candid conversations around race and diversity in the STEM fields. Launched in 2020 as part of Gladstone’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, this series is hosted in partnership with Georgia Tech, the Molecular Engineering & Sciences Institute at University of Washington, and The University of Texas at Austin. We hope these discussions spark change throughout the sciences.
