Scientists routinely make causal inferences – whether implicit or explicit – about correlations generated from statistical analyses of experimental and observational data. However, while theorized causes are usually directionally specific, correlations are inherently symmetric or directionally ambiguous. Moreover, multiple causal structures can produce equivalent correlational results, posing significant threats to the validity of statistical inferences.
Fortunately, advances from the “causal revolution” in science and statistics have provided us with powerful tools, such as potential outcomes and directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), to better understand causes and effects. This talk will focus on how DAGs can help us “assume in public” more effectively. By introducing DAGs early in the research workflow and adhering to simple rules for their use, we can formalize the causal assumptions underlying our theories and statistical models, thereby enhancing transparency and reducing avoidable biases in causal estimation.
The presentation will cover the four foundational structures in causal systems, as represented in DAGs: complete independence, pipes, forks, and colliders. Real-world and simulated examples – drawn from the speaker’s blog posts – will illustrate key concepts, such as d-separation, “good and bad controls,” and adjustment sets. Finally, the talk will introduce tools and resources to help researchers more confidently and effectively navigate the assumptions and challenges of causal inference.

Summary:
A conversation between Beverly Jenkins and Lilly Library Curator of Modern Books Rebecca Baumann in celebration of the Lilly Library’s exhibition Love in the Library: The Romance Novel in English. Beverly Jenkins is an NAACP Image Award nominee and bestselling author of over 30 historical and contemporary romance novels. Her historical novels, including Indigo (1996), Topaz (1997), and the Women Who Dare series (2019–2022) center Black characters and Black history often overlooked in the romance genre, in American popular culture, and in history classes. Many of her novels are set in the post-Civil War era, a time in which Black Americans were building their lives, their identities, and legacies for generations to come. Jenkins also writes contemporary romances, including the 2021 romantic suspense novella Rare Danger, featuring a rare book dealer as heroine.

This film opens in a classroom, showing a music teacher working through a piece with a group of string musicians. He goes on to talk about an influential teacher he had at Virginia State College named Undine Moore. Quipped the "Dean of Black Women Composers," Undine Eliza Anna Smith Moore was a notable and prolific American composer and professor of music in the twentieth century. Much of her work was inspired by black spirituals and folk music. She was a renowned teacher, and once stated that she experienced “teaching itself as an art.” Towards the end of her life, she received many notable awards for her accomplishments as a music educator.
In this film the cinematographic space becomes itself an active element of the dance rather than being an area in which the dance takes place. The dancer shares with the camera and the cutting a collaborative responsibility for the movements themselves. Recommended for use only by groups interested in the cinematographical element of the dance.

This program, part of "The Newborn" series, discusses seizures and the importance of understanding them. Subleties which complicate diagnosis are described and recognition of various types is explained. Major etiologies are covered; evaluation priorities are specified; work-up is outlined; and therapy techniques are suggested. Although seizures are not common among newborns, it is important to be aware that characteristics of seizures are vastly different in the newborn than among adults. Apnea, tremors, eye-blinking, or facial twitching all can be signs of a seizure in the newborn. Since seizures in the newborn can be subtle, the presenter provides ways to differentiate between seizure activity and normal activity. Most importantly, the presenter adds that finding the cause of the seizure is more important than rushing to treatment. The video also includes an overview of different drugs and their side effects, including withdrawal.
This program, part of "The Newborn" series, is an overview of bacterial sepsis and features Richard L. Schreiner, MD. Pathogenesis, causation, indications, laboratory tests, therapy, complications, and statistics are covered. This presents accurate, standard information and displays good technical quality. Some material is specific to the area of production. The program is recommended for use. Dr. Schreiner discusses the possible causes for neonatal bacterial sepsis, potential signs for the disease, and methods of prevention. Certain perinatal events such as maternal fever, urinary tract infections, and prolonged labor may be causes for concern; the doctor should subsequently check for sepsis in the infant. It is also imperative that all medical staff wash their hands before attending to the infant to decrease the chances of developing sepsis.
SPSS is a common data analysis program for work in Social Sciences. It offers a point of access for data cleaning, description, and analyses in a user-friendly manner. Different from programs like R that require coding, SPSS provides a “point and click” interface that allows you to use the program intuitively. Behind the scenes of this “point and click” interface, though, SPSS can provide, generate and execute code FOR YOU, making it an accessible option for researchers aiming to improve transparency and replicability of their analyses. SPSS is a powerful and approachable tool for anyone looking to view, describe, clean, edit, or analyze data with simple to complex statistical analyses.
The goal of this workshop is to provide an accessible, applied, and practical understanding of how to use SPSS. The workshop will begin with a description of the software including a detailed map of how to interact with the software, how to view previously collected data, how to subsect data and create composite variables, and how to create both descriptive visuals of data. We will cover how to execute and interpret various statistical analyses (e.g. ANOVAs, correlations, and regressions). The workshop will include both the point and click method of interacting with SPSS as well as cover how to generate and work with syntax (i.e. SPSS code). Though not required, to make the most of your attendance, arrive with the SPSS software (provided for free for IU faculty, students, and staff) already downloaded.
Fifteen million families’ move each year – and three-fourths of them merely change addresses within the same county. They move because they want a better place to live; they need not only houses or shops or schools but also police, fire protection, sanitation, and many other services that can only be provided by a community. And there are more and more people moving – more and more homes built on what is, after all, only a limited amount of land. This land must be used wisely: a planning engineer, similar to ones called in by communities across the country, describes the problems that a community must deal with when its population increases five-fold in a few years, and mentions some of the steps that are taken to provide for future planning and development. Most important are the procedures taken to stop and reverse the tendency for some areas to turn into slums; the program concludes with a short outline of Federal plans for urban redevelopment, and a plea to the viewer to take more active interest in his city.
