Dr. Miller is Professor of Health Sciences and Epidemiology at Northeastern University, Adjunct Professor of Epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, and Co-Director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center. Dr Miller is an expert in injury and violence prevention. His research encompasses intentional and unintentional injury, with an emphasis of firearm related violence and suicide prevention that focuses on nature of the agent of injury and the contextual aspects of the physical and social environment that can be modified to prevent death and reduce injury severity without necessarily affecting underlying behavior. In addition to empirical work in injury prevention, Dr. Miller’s scholarship includes pharmacoepidemiology and work on the fundamental and often unrecognized tension between research and therapy in clinical trials. Dr. Miller is Assistant Editor of the journal Injury Epidemiology and a recipient of the Excellence in Science Award from the American Public Health Association.

Webinar: Geographic Information System (GIS) For Social Media Research: Opportunities And Challenges
Thursday, October 28th, 2021
01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Storrs Campus Webex
Speaker: Debs Ghosh, PhD, MPhil, MA
Description: Social media is a powerful communication mechanism. Statista, a market research company, estimates that there are 2.77 billion regular users of social media today producing “big” datasets of commentary, criticism (or misinformation!), photos, and videos. Although this is a gold mine data for researchers, social media data is “big, messy, unstructured, and noisy”. The key concepts of Geographic Information Science and Systems (GIS) – place, time, and scale — can help data scientists understand the context and answer the questions about when and where of such data. This webinar will explore with examples the spectrum of GIS applications of social media data, highlighting new opportunities as well as challenges.

Storrs Campus Webex
Speaker: Shiri Dori-Hacohen, PhD
Description: In this webinar, Dr. Dori-Hacohen will introduce attendees to the Lean LaunchPad methodology of research-based entrepreneurship and to the notion that research goals can (and sometimes, should) shift in response to market needs. LLP was created by Steve Blank and is the preferred mode of customer discovery recommended by the National Science Foundation. Regardless of whether you are an entrepreneur, a researcher, or work at a for-profit, governmental or non-profit org, this approach can help you clarify what are the biggest challenges facing the populations you serve. As a case study, we will use Dr. Dori-Hacohen’s start-up, AuCoDe, grounding the webinar with a real-world example.
