Tech Talk: Meta Data Analysis
2025-10-02 12:00 - 13:00 | Microsoft Teams
Thursday October 2, 2025 from 12:00-1:00pm
Virtual Teams Presentation
Meta-Data Analysis is a powerful statistical method that synthesizes findings across multiple studies to derive more precise and generalizable estimates of treatment effects. In addition to pooling odds ratios to evaluate categorical outcomes, this method also enables estimation of continuous outcomes—such as mean changes and their confidence intervals—across diverse study populations. Meta-analysis increases statistical power, enhances clinical interpretability, and allows quantification of heterogeneity using metrics like I² and τ². This talk provides a comprehensive overview of meta-analytic techniques, including data preparation, calculation of pooled estimates for both binary and continuous outcomes, exploration of subgroup effects, and interpretation of results using forest plots and summary tables. Drawing from recent real-world comparative effectiveness studies in medicine and public health, this session will illustrate how incorporating newly available studies can update pooled evidence, and how summary findings can directly inform clinical decision-making and health policy evaluation.

Innovative Discovery Series - Food Security and Stigma
2025-10-28 12:00 - 13:00 | Microsoft Teams
Food insecurity is of increasing concern and affects millions of Americans, yet the invisible burden of stigma often prevents individuals from accessing the nutritional support they need. This presentation explores how stigma associated with poverty, race, and food assistance creates barriers to food security at both structural and individual levels. Drawing on new research including the Stigma and Food Inequity Framework, we will examine how shame, discrimination, and stereotype threat shape food purchasing behaviors and program participation. From people disguising themselves when using benefit cards to parents sacrificing meals for their children, we will uncover the hidden manifestations of stigma. The talk will highlight evidence-based interventions to reduce stigma at multiple levels.

Innovative Discovery Series - Working Smarter with PneuRip
2025-12-16 12:00 - 13:00 | Microsoft Teams
Respiratory Inductive Plethysmography is a method of evaluating pulmonary ventilation by measuring the movement of the chest and abdominal wall. The measurement of the thoracoabdominal motion may be used to objectively measure work of breathing. PneuRIP is a bedside, real time tool that allows researchers to transition RIP to a clinical diagnostic tool. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate how PneuRIP can be used to explain clinical observations improve the care we provide to infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The objectives of this presentation are:

Present recent studies performed by our group that used PneuRip in the neonatal patient population
Review the benefits and limitations of Respiratory Inductive Plethysmography (RIP)
Introduce PneuRIP, a software application that allows RIP to be used at the bedside
