Session led by Tanya Miura Our initial project on the CMCI COBRE award was designed to identify parameters that determine disease outcomes during respiratory viral coinfection in a mouse model. Through this work we identified multiple virus pairs that resulted in reduced disease severity upon coinfection, which depends upon the viral doses and order of…
The primary objective of this discussion is to present findings on how residency, exposure history, and risk perception influence Idahoans’ protective behaviors toward wildfire smoke, as modeled using structural equation modeling (SEM) to link psychometric constructs with observed behaviors. We will also seek feedback on our proposed future study, which will employ threshold and regression models to…
Bring a lunch and come join the crew as Chenangnon Tovissode presents a mock job talk. His topic is “From Genes to Epidemics: Integrating Machine Learning and Mechanistic Models“. In this presentation, Chenangnon will explore two complementary approaches to investigating causal mechanisms in biological and social systems. The first part focuses on uncovering causal pathways from…
Our very own Tinashe Gashirai will present a talk this coming Monday (09/29)! The main aim of this discussion is to trigger a conversation between mathematical modelers and experimentalists on how the concurrent formulation of mathematical model and running of experiments could increase the utility of math models in informing optimal experimental design. Tinashe will use…
In this presentation, Lon Chubiz will explore the consequences of antagonistic interactions between microbes during assembly of microbial communities. Many experimental and theoretical studies on microbial communities focus on how interactions between microbes from diverse species shape their assembly. Often overlooked are interactions between members of the same species. These interactions are frequently highly competitive…
Do you know what happens when you step inside a future shaped by climate change? In a collaboration with the UI Polymorphic Games Studio, Dilshani Sarathchandra and Kristin Haltinner will discuss a virtual reality (VR) experience that immerses individuals into potential future climate scenarios. This talk walks you through the project’s theoretical foundations, experimental design, and…
Come join us for our Brown Bag Lunches happening on Mondays @12:30-1:30pm in the Collaboratorium (IRIC 325). These themed lunches are activity driven social gatherings. Activities range from talks, workshops, and even group discussions. If you are interested in presenting at one of these talks, please inquire with Bert or Austin.
Our very first BBL of the Fall Semester will be a special potluck session to celebrate our very own Holly Wichman and her tireless work and dedication here at IMCI. It is happening Monday, September 8th (09/08), from 12:30-2pm in “The Collaboratorium” (IRIC 352). If you’d like to contribute food or drink to this session,…
This session will be led by Jennifer Johnson-Leung and Bert Baumgaertner.
