While participating in technical interface meetings with NASA over many years, I learned
how effective cohorts can be in solving problems. A cohort is simply any group of
people with a shared characteristic, but in science the term more often refers to
a group of people being studied rather than the ones doing the studying. In cross-sectional studies, results can be compromised by the inability to separate
out things attributable to the cohort itself. An example of this is studying birth year cohorts for the effects of aging. What if
the people are affected more by where they grew up than by the aging process itself?
Compromising the results in this way is called the cohort effect. I am interested in a different kind of cohort effect.
DEIA Training Level 1 is a two-session introduction to diversity, equity, inclusion,
and accessibility concepts. Session 1 will focus on learning key DEIA concepts, while
Session 2 will focus on practicing what you've learned. Participants must attend both
4-hour sessions to receive a certificate of completion. Space is limited: please confirm your availability prior to registering. 听will close at 5 p.m. AKST on Oct. 13.
The BLaST program will host their annual research mixer Tuesday, Oct. 11 from 4-6
p.m at IARC 501. This is one of the best opportunities of the year to see what research
is happening at 黑料黑历史, which projects, labs and mentors are currently looking for students,
and to network with other students, faculty and researchers.
