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.
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.

This study utilized a survey, interviews, and artifact analysis to investigate faculty selection, use, and evaluation of active learning techniques in the didactic classroom of university-based Medical Laboratory Science programs. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that faculty favor active learning techniques that offer an interactive or collaborative learning model, encourage student engagement, and require application of knowledge. Faculty believe the use of active learning supports student learning, promotes engagement, increases motivation, embeds long-term knowledge, and improves soft skills. Despite recognizing the benefits, faculty also reported challenges related to time constraints, resource availability, and support from colleagues and administrators. Overall, while active learning presents certain complexities and challenges, faculty incorporate it across all content areas of Medical Laboratory Science education. The insights from this study highlight the significance of active learning in the classroom and aims to spark awareness, encourage dialogue, foster collaboration, and stimulate further research and publications on this pedagogical approach.
Insect populations are collapsing across the developed world in what has been termed "the insect apocalypse". This is a biological catastrophe, as insects are critical components of functioning ecosystems, providing essential services such as providing food for predators such as birds and bats, and pollination. Moths are particularly important. They form the greatest biomass of any herbivore group and may be as important in pollination as bees. We compared the status of moth populations across a series of rural and urban sites, including traditionally landscaped urban sites, urban sites that have been restored with native plants, non-agricultural rural sites, and fully restored rural sites. We found that moth populations are strongly depleted in urban habitats. Restoration of urban sites with native vegetation provides a marginal increase in moth diversity, but such sites fall far short of rural sites. Significantly, we found that some moth taxonomic groups are more resilient than others to the urban habitats. Analyzing the biology of the more resilient and sensitive groups provides insight into the selective pressures that are driving down moth populations in urban habitats, and reveals possible strategies for improving moth success in urban habitats.

Lecture delivered by Richard B. Gunderman, MD, PhD (Chancellor’s Professor of Radiology, Pediatrics, Medical Education, Philosophy, Liberal Arts, Philanthropy, and Medical Humanities and Health Studies, John A. Campbell Professor of Radiology, Indiana University) on November 14, 2024. Indiana’s history of medicine society is named in honor of Hoosier John Shaw Billings, yet most medical school faculty, residents, and students know little to nothing about Billings. In short, he was one of the greatest polymaths in the history of American medicine, whose contributions to the profession and many other fields are virtually unparalleled. By revisiting Billings’ contributions, we not only pay honor to this great man but also fuel our own imaginations and find inspiration about the contributions we are capable of making.
This event was sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society, IU School of Medicine History of Medicine Student Interest Group, IU Indianapolis Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program, and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library.
Lecture delivered by Bijal J. Trivedi (Senior Science Editor, National Geographic; freelance journalist). As recently as 2012, cystic fibrosis was considered a fatal genetic lung disease with most patients dying in their 20s, if not much earlier. But beginning in the 1950s, four couples, desperate to find treatments for their sick children, launched a foundation that would eventually use venture philanthropy to develop a radical type of life-saving personalized medicine that works for 90 percent of Cystic Fibrosis patients. Other disease foundations are striving to replicate the model and the NIH is using the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s strategy to accelerate cures for diseases, rare and common.
This event was co-sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society; IU School of Medicine Department of Medicine, Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Department of Pediatrics, and History of Medicine Student Interest Group; IU Indianapolis Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program; and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library.
