The evidence around us is inescapable. In these troubling times with temperatures rising & landscapes disappearing, the artists of Shifting Tides bear witness by straddling the ability to see beauty deeply while nonetheless recognizing the trouble we are in. By focusing on the natural environment and its vulnerability, these works remind us of all we have to lose. Once lost, this beauty is near impossible to reclaim but with many hands contributing, maybe we can hold onto the beauty in this world. Information Source: Fort Point Arts Community | eventbrite

Join The West End Museum for an author talk with Stephen Puleo on his book, The Great Abolitionist: Charles Sumner and the Fight for a More Perfect Union . Trident Booksellers will be at the event, if you would like to purchase a copy. About the Book THE GREAT ABOLITIONIST: Charles Sumner and the Fight for a More Perfect Union is the first major biography of Charles Sumner to be published in over fifty years. It tells the story of one of the most influential non-presidents in American history (included in this exclusive club were Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Susan B. Anthony, and Martin Luther King, Jr.) – and far more influential than many presidents – a leader who exhibited true courage and authenticity. In the tempestuous mid-nineteenth century, as slavery consumed congressional debate and America careened toward civil war and split apart – when the very future of the nation hung in the balance – Charles Sumner’s voice rang strongest, bravest, and most unwavering. Where others preached compromise and moderation, he denounced slavery’s evils to all who would listen and demanded that it be wiped out of existence. More than any other person of his era, he blazed the trail on the country’s long, uneven, and ongoing journey toward realizing its full promise to become a more perfect union. Before and during the Civil War, at great personal sacrifice – which included enduring a vicious beating that nearly killed him – Sumner was the conscience of the North and the most influential politician fighting for abolition. Throughout Reconstruction, no one championed the rights of emancipated people more than he did. To Sumner, the two concepts of abolitionism and equal rights were inseparable and could not be untethered. Freedom and equality embodied the founding principles of the United States as stated in the Declaration of Independence, and in the Constitution’s guarantee of a republican form of government. Only by enshrining these rights forever could the United States survive. This view was first considered radical and unworkable, dismissed as the ranting of rabble-rousers on the fringe – positions at first not held even by Lincoln and other anti-slavery Republicans. But Sumner’s influence gradually took hold, permeated the party’s dogma, and finally became the prevalent and official view of Lincoln and the nation. Through the force of his words and his will, he moved America toward the twin goals of abolitionism and equal rights, which he fought for literally until the day he died. He laid the cornerstone arguments that civil rights advocates would build upon over the next century as the country strove to achieve equality among the races. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Information Source: The West End Museum | eventbrite

You will be able to pull a ticket at the gate and then pay with a credit card as you leave. Abstract: I am writing a textbook titled “ Causal Inference: A Statistics Playground ”. It targets students and statisticians in and out of academia who work with or want to learn about causal inference. Causal inference methods address questions like “what would happen if” through data analysis. The textbook primarily concentrates on data from non-randomized (observational) studies, which are abundant. Estimating treatment effects from observational data is challenging due to confounding by indication: when comparing treated and untreated individuals/units, differences arise not only from the effect of the treatment but also from pretreatment differences between the two groups. Causal inference offers methods to overcome confounding by indication and other biases, allowing for the estimation of treatment effects from observational data. In this lecture, I will explore recent applications of causal inference, touch upon the methods behind them, and share key lessons learned. Scientific progress does not come from following the crowd. When I began studying causal inference, many scientists dismissed the notion of drawing causal conclusions from non-randomized data. More recently, skepticism among statisticians about analyzing data of trials where the intervention package changed over time led me to work on Learn-As-you-GO (LAGO). LAGO is an adaptive trial design that adjusts the composition of a multi-component intervention package during the trial. Our team has developed conditions on the learning process that adjust the intervention package to prevent failed trials while obtaining valid inference (consistency, asymptotic normality, and preservation of Type-1 error). Thus, statistics in general, and causal inference in particular, is a playground where it is okay to break the rules if one is prepared to suffer (or enjoy) the consequences: developing rigorous mathematical proofs. Another lesson learned: it is rarely feasible to carry out reliable causal inference applications in isolation. Engaging with subject matter experts about assumptions and models is both a pleasure and a necessity for drawing valid causal conclusions. As a result, many causal inference statisticians become data scientists: they are skilled in both statistics and a field of application. For me, the field of application has been HIV/AIDS and, more broadly, public health. Bio of the Speaker : Dr. Lok is a distinguished leader in the field of causal inference, renowned for her pioneering contributions to mediation analysis, structural nested models, and adaptive causal methods. Her research has significantly advanced statistical methodology and its applications in clinical and biomedical research, particularly in improving treatment strategies for infectious diseases. She has published extensively in leading journals, including Annals of Statistics, Statistics in Medicine, Biometrics, and high-impact clinical journals. Dr. Lok has also been the principal investigator on numerous prestigious grants, including an NIH R01 award for developing methods to analyze the causal effects of HAART on HIV outcomes, an NSF grant to advance causal inference methods for mediation and methods to compare confidence regions, and an mPI R01 to develop Learn-As-you-GO (LAGO) adaptive clinical trials. Beyond her research, Dr. Lok is a dedicated mentor and a passionate advocate for student development. Since 2019, she has served as the faculty advisor for the Boston University Student Chapter of the ASA (BUSCASA), where she has played an instrumental role in fostering student engagement in the statistical community. Her leadership has been particularly evident in the New England Student Research Symposium on Statistics and Data Science, which she co-organized in 2020, 2022, and 2024. Dr. Lok has consistently gone above and beyond to mentor students, providing personalized feedback on their presentations and ensuring they receive meaningful learning experiences. Her service to the Boston Chapter and the broader statistical community is exceptional. Dr. Lok was instrumental in organizing the first in-person Student Research Symposium at Boston University, securing funding and suitable venues to create an enriching experience for participants. Her contributions extend nationally, having served as IMS chair for the 2017 ENAR Spring Meeting, organizing multiple invited sessions at Joint Statistical Meetings, and contributing as associate editor of Epidemiological Methods and co-editor of Statistical Communications in Infectious Diseases. About the Award : Each year, the Boston Chapter presents the Mosteller Statistician of the Year Award to a distinguished statistician who has made exceptional contributions to the field and has demonstrated outstanding service to the statistical community, including the Boston Chapter. Originally established in 1990 as the Statistician of the Year Award, it was renamed in 1997 in honor of its first recipient, Fred Mosteller, on his 80th birthday.
