May 22Research Symposium: A Call to Action: Identifying next steps to address biomedical, health care, and social drivers of COVID-19 disparities
This online university-wide symposium on COVID-19 Disparities and Health Equity will identify causes, consequences, and solutions as they relate to COVID 19 and its impact on our community. The symposium will bridge a scientific audience, ranging from lab science to community and population health science, to environmental science, to social science, ethics, and policy. Key representatives from our community will provide their perspectives. Attendees will be able to ask questions for panelists' consideration via the Q&A function of Zoom, and may identify opportunities for collaboration that leverage existing strengths at Duke and beyond to address this major public health challenge. This event is sponsored by: Duke Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), REACH Equity, the Social Science Research Institute (SSRI), and the Samuel Dubois Cook Center on Social Equity. Planning committee members include: Nadine Barrett, Keisha Bentley Edwards, Ebony Boulware, Viviana-Martinez Bianchi, Tyson Brown, Richard Chung, Leonor Corsino, Johnna Frierson, Rosa Gonzalez Guarda, Kimberly Johnson, Amy Lee, Michelle Lyn, Gabriela Maradiaga Panayotti, Kenny Railey, Veronica Ray, Judy Seidenstein, Mina Silberberg, Laura Svetkey, Don Taylor, Kevin Thomas, Dane Whicker

Apr 10Data Dialogue with Josh Starmer, StatQuest: The Elements of StatQuest: How to clearly explain complex topics
Join URL: https://duke.zoom.us/j/536789668 Six years ago I published my first video on YouTube. Two people watched it. Today, my videos on statistics and machine learning have been watched over 10 million times. Viewers claim the videos helped them win data science contests, pass college and graduate school exams and obtain jobs. In this seminar, I'll give a brief history of my YouTube channel as well as reveal the secrets to its success. We'll talk about how to research new topics, how to break them into small, easily understood pieces and how to present the pieces in such a way that they are clearly understood.
