Duke STEM Coffee Conversation Corps Lead: Nicolette Cagle, Associate Dean of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and Senior Lecturer in Environmental Sciences & Policy, Nicholas School of the Environment Welcoming participation by the wider Duke community and beyond, the group will meet every other Wednesday morning, both in person at the DMPI and online, to work through relevant books. This project’s goal is to lower the barrier to participation through a reading group that will equip participants with foundational data science, statistical and computational biology skills and knowledge. Members’ varying computational backgrounds can be a barrier to collaborative engagement with the more quantitative aspects of biological research. The Duke Molecular Physiology Institute (DMPI) is home to a wide range of biologists, from bench scientists to statisticians. Computational Biology Reading Group Lead: Matthew Hirschey, Associate Professor of Medicine, Pharmacology & Cancer Biology, School of MedicineĬo-Lead: Akshay Bareja, Assistant Professor, School of Medicine Activities include incorporating the environmental justice framework into existing efforts by including relevant speakers in existing seminar series, facilitating focused discussions during faculty and staff meetings, centralizing promotion of related events on campus, and creating novel learning and community-building opportunities through a panel discussion series and field visits to communities experiencing and contesting environmental injustice. It will also strengthen the sense of community and shared vision and purpose. This initiative will build awareness among Nicholas School faculty and staff of the roots and manifestations of environmental injustice and the strategies being employed to counter these issues, as well as the relevance of environmental injustice to the school’s mission and daily work. Building in Justice at the School of the Environment Lead: Elizabeth Shapiro-Garza, Associate Professor of the Practice of Environmental Policy & Management, Nicholas School of the EnvironmentĬo-Lead: Nicolette Cagle, Senior Lecturer in Environmental Sciences & Policy, Nicholas School of the Environment The seminars will be open to an even broader group of individuals, including faculty and students with similar interests in statistics, data science, mathematics and computing education. The journal clubs will also be open to undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs and other faculty members in the department. There will be three types of engagements for professors of the practice in the Department of Statistical Science: journal clubs, seminars and lunches. This project aims to provide venues to discuss current literature and generate ideas for the creation of scholarly works, as well as for experience-sharing and group mentoring. 2022-23 Faculty Advancement Seed Grants Building a Community of Practice for Statistics and Data Science Education Researchers Lead: Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel, Professor of the Practice of Statistical Science, Trinity College of Arts & SciencesĬo-Lead: Yue Jiang, Assistant Professor of the Practice of Statistical Science, Trinity College of Arts & Sciences The theme for this cycle is “Improving Departmental Climate and Building Community.” Project leaders represent the Divinity School, Nicholas School of the Environment, School of Medicine, School of Nursing, Pratt School of Engineering, Sanford School of Public Policy, and Trinity College of Arts & Sciences. The Office for Faculty Advancement has awarded seed grants to 13 faculty-led projects exploring new ideas and expanding existing initiatives to promote an equitable and inclusive academic environment at Duke.
