- Main contributors:
- Huysken, Kristin (narrator)
- Summary:
- Professor Kristin Huysken, an Associate Professor of Geology and Chairperson in the Department of Geosciences at Indiana University Northwest, discusses the science of artesian wells. She says that the purity of the water in these springs is dependent upon the amount of time the water spends in the aquifer. "The aquifer itself acts as a filter," she says. "The longer time the water can spend in that aquifer," she explains, "If the pore spaces are small enough and you know it takes enough time to get through, that's good. It means you're drinking old water."

- Main contributors:
- Huysken, Kristin (narrator)
- Summary:
- Professor Kristin Huysken explains the proper conditions necessary for an artesian well to flow. "It has to be like...a sandwich," she says. "You have to have an impermeable layer...with a permeable layer between it," that filters the water. "The second criterion," she explains, "is that the recharge area...where the rain is coming in and charging, the system, has to be higher than the discharge area." Huysken then uses a diagram to provide a visual representation of how artesian wells work.

- Dodds, Tracy
- Summary:
- People sometimes asked sportswriter Tracy Dodds how she could cover sports if she’d never been an athlete. "How can you cover a murder trial if you've never murdered anybody?" she replied. Often faced with sexism and hostility, Dodds carried her wit, humor and gumption with her through a long and lucrative career in sports journalism. One of the first women to cover sports for a major publication, Dodds knew she was a trailblazer. It wasn't until later that she realized she'd helped pave the way for women in journalism. The myriad sports Dodds has covered include Big Ten football and basketball, hockey, auto-racing, boxing, swimming and diving. In 1984, 1988 and 1996, she was an on-site reporter and editor at the Olympics. In 1988, she helped found the Association for Women in Sports Media, later serving as its national president. She was the first elected female president of the Associated Press Sports Editors. In 2014, she became the first woman to be inducted into the Indiana Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame. Amidst those incredible honors, the seemingly insignificant successes stand out, too. Dodds recalled the day she received a letter from a reader that began,"Dear Mr. Dodds, You're an idiot." Elated, Dodds shared the letter with coworkers. "He was calling me an idiot solely on the quality of my writing," Dodds said. "Not because I was a woman." Before graduating from IU in 1973 with a degree in journalism and political science, Dodds got her start at the Bloomington Herald-Telephone, now the Herald-Times, under the mentorship of sports editor Bob Hammel. In 1974, she was hired as a sportswriter for the Milwaukee Journal. It was an uphill battle. Her first week, the Journal's assistant sports editor Bill Dwyre told her she never should have been hired. Seven years later, Dwyre would write her a glowing farewell column as she moved on to the Houston Post. At the Post, Dodds was the only female conference columnist, covering the now-defunct Southwest Conference. Less than two years later, Dwyre would call her and offer her a coveted position at the Los Angeles Times. Dodds' years at the L.A. Times would have her covering UCLA and the Kings. "I came back from the '88 Olympics, jet-lagged on no sleep, and covered Wayne Gretzky's first game with the Kings," she recalled. After many years as a writer, Dodds moved into sports editing. She served as assistant sports editor at the L.A. Daily News, assistant sports editor at the Orange County Register, sports editor at the Austin (Texas) American-Statesman and associate sports editor at the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "There weren't a lot of women in sports writing then, but there were very few women in sports editing," she recalled. Upon leaving the Plain Dealer, Dodds returned to Indiana to write for The Indianapolis Star before moving home to Lafayette to be closer to family and to start her next career. She's now director of grants at the YWCA of Greater Lafayette, where she helps further the organization's mission of eliminating racism and empowering women. "Grants fund the mission," Dodds said. "That gives me a reason to get up in the morning and get to the office, where I work with some amazing women doing amazing service."

- Schultz, Marilyn
- Summary:
- Marilyn R. Schultz was a pioneer in broadcast journalism, dedicating herself to the fight for women's rights in the industry and, later, to educating future journalists as a college professor. Schultz, who died in 2010, earned three IU degrees: a bachelor's in radio and television in 1967, a master's in telecommunications in 1990 and a doctorate in mass communication in 1993. She began her career at NBC News in New York City, where she worked for nine years. Affectionately referring to her by her nickname, "Schultzie," former "NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Brokaw recalled Schultz's impact on women in journalism in a traditionally male-dominated environment. "First there was the name — "Schultzie," Brokaw said at the time of Schultz's death. "If that didn't get your attention, her attitude did. Schultzie worked in the newsroom when it was an all-white-male den of machismo, cigar, pipe and cigarette smoke, bawdy manners and profane speech. What everyone quickly learned is that Schultzie didn't need any of those props to hold her own. "Now our newsrooms are fully integrated, but the first steps so long ago were Schultzie's — and she wasn't tiptoeing then or any time since." Schultz took on the role of lead plaintiff and spokesperson for a class-action lawsuit representing 700 women against NBC. The suit, which lasted seven years, aimed to bring equal pay and opportunity to women at the company. As a result, more than 1,000 women received back pay, and women gained access to jobs previously unavailable to them. The Washington Press Club Foundation would later name Schultz one of its 16 "American Women Who Changed the Face of Journalism (1965-1995)." "It didn't take long to discover that she didn't just talk about changing the culture of NBC News, she acted to bring change about," said Wallace Westfeldt, Schultz's former boss and then-executive producer of NBC News, in 2010. Schultz moved to Washington, D.C., to work as an on-air reporter for affiliate WRC-TV. There, she covered events such as the 1972 election, the Apollo 12 launch and Watergate. In 1984, she moved to Indianapolis to work as a producer for NBC affiliate WTHR-TV. There, she covered the Mike Tyson trial and the Ryan White case, among other stories. In the late '80s, Schultz returned to IU to pursue her master's, and later her doctorate. She accepted her first teaching position at the University of Texas at Austin, where she taught for nine years as an assistant professor and then broadcast journalism head. From there, she took a position at St. Edward's University in Austin, where she continued to educate students for eight years until the time of her death. The university established the Marilyn Schultz Memorial Scholarship for students studying media arts. "Marilyn once said that 'teaching is the most important work I've ever done,' which was obvious from her interactions with her students," said Father Lou Brusatti, then-dean of the School of Humanities at St. Edward's University, in Schultz's obituary. "She was a motivation and inspiration for her students and colleagues."

- Summary:
- Show or Tell? Improving Agent Decision Making in a Tanzanian Mobile Money Field Experiment: When workers make operational decisions, the firm's global knowledge and the worker's domain-specific knowledge complement each other. Oftentimes workers have the final decision-making power. Two key decisions a firm makes when designing systems to support these workers are: 1) what guidance to deliver, and 2) what kind of training (if any) to provide. We examine these choices in the context of mobile money platforms?systems that allow users in developing economies to deposit, transfer, and withdraw money using their mobile phones. Mobile money has grown quickly, but high stockout rates of currency persist due to sub-optimal inventory decisions made by contracted employees (called agents). In partnership with a Tanzanian mobile money operator, we perform a randomized controlled trial with 4,771 agents over eight weeks to examine how differing types of guidance and training impact the agents' inventory management. We find agents who are trained in person and receive an explicit, personalized, daily text message recommendation of how much electronic currency to stock are less likely to stock out. These agents are more likely to alter their electronic currency balance on a day (rebalance). In contrast, agents trained in person but who receive summary statistics of transaction volumes or agents who are notified about the program and not offered in-person training do not experience changes in stockouts or rebalances. We observe no evidence of learning or fatigue. Agent-level heterogeneity in the treatment effects shows that the agents who handle substantially more customer deposits than withdrawals benefit most from the intervention. || When Transparency Fails: Bias and Financial Incentives in Ridesharing Platforms: Passenger discrimination in transportation systems is a well-documented phenomenon. With the advent and success of ridesharing platforms, such as Lyft, Uber and Via, there has been hope that discrimination against under-represented minorities may be reduced. However, early evidence has suggested the existance of bias in ridesharing platforms. Several platforms responded by reducing operational transparency through the removal of information about the rider's gender and race from the ride request presented to drivers. However, following this change, bias may still manifest after a request is accepted, at which point the rider's picture is displayed, through driver cancelation. Our primary research question is to what extent a rider's gender, race, and perception of support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights impact cancelation rates on ridesharing platforms. We investigate this through a large field experiment using a major ridesharing platform in North America. By manipulating rider names and profile pictures, we observe drivers' patterns of behavior in accepting and canceling rides. Our results confirm that bias at the ride request stage has been eliminated. However, at the cancelation stage, racial and LGBT biases are persistent, while biases related to gender appear to have been eliminated. We also explore whether dynamic pricing moderates (through increased pay to drivers) or exacerbates (by signaling that there are many riders, allowing drivers to be more selective) these biases. We find a moderating effect of peak pricing, with consistently lower biased behavior.

- Summary:
- Despite the growing popularity of experimental designs in sociological research, lab experiments remain relatively rare. Nevertheless, lab experiments are the gold standard for testing theory and assessing causal arguments, especially those that difficult to test using questionnaire measures. This workshop focuses on the logic of experiments, types of questions that are ideal for answering with lab experiments, issues of internal and external validity, and contrasting lab experiments to other experimental and observational methods. Using exemplars from sociology, I will walk through the design of lab experiments, common pitfalls that may surprise unaccustomed researchers, and ways to deal with these issues. The workshop is a mixture of lecture and hands-on exercises and is designed for those interested in designing their first few experiments or those on the fence about using lab experiments in their own research.

- Summary:
- Observational data often have issues which present challenges for the data analyst. The treatment status or exposure of interest is often not assigned randomly. Data are sometimes missing not at random (MNAR) which can lead to sample selection bias. And many statistical models for these data must account for unobserved confounding. This talk will demonstrate how to use standard maximum likelihood estimation to fit extended regression models (ERMs) that deal with all of these common issues alone or simultaneously.

Do you have triggers such as sounds or scents that remind you of a familiar feeling? Why do you look at the world the way you do? So many of your questions can be answered by scientist and Professor of Psychiatry, Dr. Stephen Porges, whose current work is unlocking the ways we can see another side of ourselves--our truest form. Stephen is a distinguished University scientist at Indiana University where he’s the Founding Director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium. He's a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina and Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago as well as the University of Maryland. Stephen has served as president of the Society for Psychophysiological Research and the Federation of Associations in Behavioral & Brain Sciences. He’s a former recipient of the National Institute of Mental Health Research Scientist Development Award. Stephen has published more than 300 peer-reviewed articles and in 1994 he first proposed and pioneered the Polyvagal Theory, a theory that links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior and emphasizes the importance of the physiological state in the expression of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders. Listen in and learn more about who you are--more now than ever! Kay Takeaways: Butterfly effect. Did you know we go through three evolutionary stages directly linked to those of vertebrates? To be clear, mammals are vertebrate and humans are mammals. The correlation between the two is eye-opening on how it affects your physiological state, let alone your health. Your THREE transformative stages are . . . [13:41]. Tranquility zone. Did you know that you have triggers that give you a sense of security? The sounds of certain music or someone’s voice are a couple of them. All your senses slowly drop, as do your defenses. There are simple ways to develop this sense of safety in ourselves and in others, start HERE . . . [25:34]. Connection boost. Did you know there’s no such thing as winning an argument? Once a person becomes physical--such as crossing their arms or retracting in some way--the conversation is over and therefore, the discussion is over. Winning isn’t an option. To strengthen any relationship–work, home, social–give these TWO evaluation methods a try . . . [39:44]. Tune in and turn the volume up for a dose of inspiration and life lessons. You’re never more than One Idea Away from a whole, new reality. -------------------------------- Luke Iorio is President of The Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) and has graduated thousands of coaches, leaders, athletes, and professionals across 44 countries, all of whom share his vision and desire for expanding our human potential and creating lasting, conscious change.

- This project examines publicly available statements about sex and sex work in light of the #MeToo movement and in response to the passing of the FOSTA-SESTA. It focuses on the online efforts of sex-work advocates against the passing of the SESTA, and how those efforts affect the public deliberative democratic process, especially with the rise of Democratic Socialist candidates, such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who oppose the legislation. I want to consider how coalition building between different activist groups online contributes to new methods of rhetorical invention that can push outward to influence the public process of deliberation.

- Summary:
- It was an honor to have Dr Porges on the podcast. As you probably know, he is the creator of the Polyvagal Theory and author of "The Polyvagal Theory" and "The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory." I recommend both of these books, but the Pocket Guide is easier to take in, understand and apply. Polyvagal Theory as the basis for understanding and human experience. “Understanding comes from feeling safe with ideas and thoughts.” “Polyvagal Theory enabled me to understand the portals we have to optimize the human experience.” Before PVT, the focus was on events versus feelings Feelings Emotion versus bodily experience Feelings sit on top of autonomic state Inverted triangle, bottom point is the brainstem and wider point are the higher brain structures “What higher brain structures can do are in part limited by the state that the brainstem is in.” ”Many of the observables in our human behavior are not intentional.” “We have feelings and we respond to them.” Empathy vs Compassion Empathy - we feel other people's’ feelings “Empathetic pain” - If another feels pain, we may not be in a good position to support Evaluating pain, like “That’s horrible.” Compassion - respectful and acknowledging of another’s pain, but there to witness and support “People aren’t prepared to listen, to witness, in a compassionate way.” “Healing” the Vagus Nerve? Vagus nerve is a conduit Vagus isn’t the concern, it’s the feedback loop between organ and brainstem that is the concern Certain feedback loops or defense strategies can get stuck Comorbidities come along with an ANS that is in a defensive state Be careful of ‘hacking the system,’ there are more natural ways to perform neural exercises, like singing, socializing, rocking, pranayama yoga and playing Extend the duration of the exhale Other Fs… The responses are adaptive, not bad “Flop” is an adaptive response to death feign, part of the most ancient dorsal vagal circuit “Shutting down” is literally passing out, but not everyone does that, but will have immobilization features Hybrid and gradation of sympathetic along with immobilization A body that goes into immobilization features may actually mobilize in an attempt to resist immobilization Substance Use Addictive behavior is a strategy to regulate state True physical addiction is secondary to initial benefit of addictive behavior The addictive behavior is protecting the individual from shutting down Psychiatry Child psychiatry is about pharmacological manipulation Psychiatry is not looking at the social engagement system behaviors “Psychiatry needs a reeducation.” “The warmest home for the polyvagal theory… is in trauma.” Polyvagal Theory provides a narrative consistent with client reports “Drugs effect physiology,” they are looking to “down-regulate” arousal “Some drugs will calm people down and they will be isolated in their calmness.” Calmed down doesn’t mean socially engaged Vagal tone means the amount of information coming down the vagus. Psychiatric medications may remove efficiency of regulating physiological state Psychiatry needs to measure autonomic regulation of the individual on and off the drugs Dominant State Safe and social system needs to be accessible to reduce ambiguity of a cue “Freeze” is the mix of dorsal vagal immobilization plus sympathetic arousal “Shut down” is limp, “freeze” is rigid Clinical Disorders as Adaptations Adaptations are a shifting of the more global autonomic states Clinical disorders are a compromise to the social engagement system As a species, we evolved to co-regulate, if we take that out of the equation, you get self-regulatory behaviors that result in diagnoses "I think what you would find is it really doesn't matter what the diagnosis is. That they share some common features. And the common features have to do with state regulation. And in fact the manifestations... has to do with the strategies that the higher brain structures developed to regulate their state. And in a sense the personal narrative that evolved from those psychological or mental experiences." -Dr. Stephen Porges A disruptor (like abuse or traumatic event) occurs that disrupts opportunities to co-regulate with a safe other Personal Narratives PVT brings the narrative that there is a reason someone is feeling the way they feel Higher brain structures (cognitive and sense of awareness) attuned body state, it will act as a container to the feelings Narrative will change when people become attuned to their state Narrative can be a container to physiological activity Our body’s reactions were heroic attempts to save our lives Dissociative Identity Disorder & Dissociation Alters may be seen as a polyvagal state, they have autonomic components Often, DID systems have no more than three alters Dissociation can be understood as decreased blood flow to the brain Dissociation is an adaptive feature in place of passing out; repeated passing out can result in injury or death Dissociation is common and there are gradations Polyvagal theory is an evolving theory that others are adding to, it’s a framework of thought.

- With rising and warming ocean waters, hurricanes are on track to intensify. This change means greater risk for people in the path and greater need for effective long- and short-term risk communication. But the story of the hurricane doesn't stop with the radar, or the rescues, or la renuncia, or the rebuild. To understand the chatter around hurricane season, the team talks this week with a meteorologist, a risk communications specialist and a podcast host whose family lived through Hurricane Maria. 2:45 - Update on "Huracán Maria changed my family's life" with Paola Marizán from ¿Qué Pasa, Midwest? 16:45 - interview between Jim Shanahan and Gina Eosco from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 27:45 - interview between Jim Shanahan and Jeff Berardelli from Columbia University and CBS News

- Summary:
- Highly stressful situations can lead to an inability to act and respond. These feelings have long-lasting impacts that affect people well afterward. However, as you’ll hear, this is not the result of some inadequacy, but an ancient neurological response. Stephen Porges, Ph.D. is a distinguished university scientist at Indiana University, professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina, and Professor Emeritus at both the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Maryland. With more than 300 peer-reviewed papers, Dr. Porges pioneered the Polyvagal Theory which links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior and emphasizes the importance of the physiological state in the expression of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders. Dr. Porges explains what Polyvagal Theory is and how it relates to all of us on a physiological level. According to this approach, stress has little if anything to do with our physical state, and everything to do with our emotional and psychological wellbeing. We talk about how Polyvagal Theory helps explain a state in between stress and unstress in which we actually disassociate from our surroundings as a result of trauma. We then talk about how to handle the effects of this neurological response. It may lead to an inability to fully engage with people and feelings of shame and inadequacy. However, proper narrative framing, self-compassion, and even intentional breathing can help to make shifts towards recovery. How might an understanding of Polyvagal Theory change the way you interact with other people? Let’s talk about it in the comments below. In this episode How trauma can trigger a reflex that leads to an inability to act The ways that stress and trauma impact future relationships How to cope with the lasting effects of trauma The power of breath for helping to regulate parts of the nervous system Ways to make others feel safe simply by using your voice The link between feelings of safety and creativity Technological innovations that may reduce inflammation of the vagal nerve Quotes “I would say that the nervous system is much more rational in its decision-making properties and we have to be very careful about imposing a simplistic worldview on it and trying to make everything fit that simplicity.” [1:43] “This whole act of going into immobilization or inability to recruit fight-flight is a powerful reaction that many people have experienced. But once they experience it, they don’t know how to make sense of it.” [9:47] “Breath is really a wonderful gift because when we manipulate our breathing we can change the tone of our autonomic nervous system. And if we change that tone, even for short periods of time, we can experience the world differently for those moments.” [16:52] “What we really want is to enable people to be better witnesses of their own body and to become more self-aware and compassionate to respect those bodily feelings.” [48:38] original description from: https://urbanwellnessclinic.com/dr-stephen-porges-polyvagal-theory/

- Summary:
- As a scholar-activist devoted to anti-racist, decolonial, femme-inist, anti-capitalist, anti-ableist struggles to decriminalize undocumented people in the United States, I continuously organize in the hopes of altering or dismantling the systems and institutions that perpetuate violence against marginalized, Black and brown communities. Inspired by the website Torn Apart/Separados, which maps Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities across the settle U.S. (volume 1) and the amount of money congress representatives have received from ICE (volume 2), and as part of my dissertation, I wish to create a network graph visualization --eventually accompanied by written and audio interpretations in at least English and Spanish-- of the overlaps between ICE funding congress (potential effects on public policy), government representatives benefiting from public universities, and universities' ultimate complicity with ICE. In tracing "money moves," this project lays the groundwork for activist mobilizations that deploy working-class, labor movement tactics as a means to organize within/against the imperial, neoliberal university (in this case, Big 10 institutions). Finally, my larger aim is to create inter-state, national, and international (no-border) networks of communication and support for the communities to which we belong and/or with whom we are in solidarity.

- Summary:
- Experimental designs remain the gold standard for assessing causality; perhaps because of this, the use of experiments has grown rapidly in most social science fields such as economics, political science, sociology, and others. While laboratory studies remain popular in some fields, there is increasing interest in bringing the power of experimental designs to more diverse samples. Survey experiments offer the capability to assess causality in a broad range of samples, including targeted samples of specific populations or in large-scale nationally representative samples. The rise of online workplaces and the TESS program offer the ability to bring these samples to applied researchers at a minimal cost, greatly expanding the possibilities for research. This workshop will focus on how to design quality survey experiments, giving researchers the tools to implement best practices. I will also advocate for survey experiments as a tool for tests of intersectionality and other theoretical questions requiring diverse samples.
