  • Occupational Injustice: Mental Stress and Chronic Pain in Gig Laborers

    Image
    Descripción/Resumen:
    This research analyzes the "syndemic" of mental stress and physical pain among 299 unregulated laborers in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Results reveal that psychological distress increased the risk of physical injury by 28-fold, highlighting a critical link between economic instability and worker health. These findings offer urgent parallels to the U.S. "gig economy," where delivery and warehouse workers face similar occupational injustices without safety nets. The presentation moves beyond ergonomics to propose a Social Justice Framework, challenging attendees to advocate for ethical supply chains and for mental health protections for vulnerable workers, both globally and locally.

    Descripción/Resumen:
    What happens when the biggest barrier to scientific discovery isn’t a lack of ideas, but the cost of the tools themselves? In this episode, Jarin Earle, a junior in Mechanical Engineering at North Carolina A & T State University, shares how a summer research project designing a low-cost viscometer changed the way he thinks about engineering; not as a way to build machines, but as a way to expand who gets the opportunity to do science.

    Media
    Descripción/Resumen:
    Through my college journey, the terms “research” and “zero-emissions” have become central to my academic identity. Not just because they reflect both my lab experience and keen interest in sustainable tech, but because they evoke a personal question that many high school seniors and college underclassmen grapple with: what does it mean to be a scientist? I’m Trevon Collins, a mechanical engineering student at Tennessee Technological University. In this podcast episode, I’ll share the answers I’ve found through investigating age-old secrets of phase change and their implications for the green transition.

    Descripción/Resumen:
    Kennedy Whiters lives by "Do not fear failure; rather, fear not trying." She participated in the REALIZE REU when she was a junior at Albany State University. Kennedy performed research on methanogens, a type of anaerobic bacteria that consumes carbon dioxide and turns it into natural gas, which we can use as a source of energy in power plants. In this episode, she describes her experience working in the lab of Prof Annie Rowe, where she found the lab group to be a good source of positive support, like her family.

  • Computers as Brains A Robot’s Tale

    Document thumbnail: Computers as Brains A Robot’s Tale
    Type:
    Document
    Descripción/Resumen:
    The computer metaphor of mind and brain states broadly that the brain is the control organ for the body. This implies that brain (including mind) and physical body are separable from each other and the physical and social environment. Given the dominance of computing technology in daily life, many brain researchers and subsequently also engineers are furthermore compelled to take brain-computer analogies not as metaphors but as literal descriptions of brain function. These two fundamental assumptions manifest as overwhelming challenges when pursuing synthetic rather than analytic approaches, i.e., when we attempt to computationally control artificial bodies such as robots, especially when co-located with humans. I will discuss the computational brain metaphor from the perspective of bodies for whom computational control is a reality – robots, and their creators – engineers. Rather than presenting new metaphors, I will use evidence from control engineering and human-robot interaction to argue for a shift of thought: if we can enrich how engineers approach robotic control, new robots could offer powerful momentum to shifting the scientific opinion towards embracing a less dualistic, more holistic view of the brain’s embedding in body and world.

  • Targeted After Generative (TAG) Learning for Causal Inference with Latent Variables

    Article thumbnail: Targeted After Generative (TAG) Learning for Causal Inference with Latent Variables
    Type:
    Article
    Descripción/Resumen:
    Latent variables and causal inference are central to implementing empirical research and advancing substantive theory across the social sciences. Conventional latent variable frameworks such as structural equation modeling (SEM) are constrained by several simplifying assumptions (e.g., linearity, additivity, correct model specification). In this study, we relax key SEM assumptions by building data adaptive estimation methods for causal inference with latent variables. We developed a theory-driven Targeted After Generative (TAG) learning framework that integrates SEM-informed variational autoencoders (SEM VAEs) with targeted machine learning to estimate the average treatment effect. On the generative side, the SEM VAE encodes theory aligned neural networks that learn latent variable distributions through flexible joint modeling of measurement and structural parameters. On the targeted learning side, we construct an efficient influence function for the treatment effect with the SEM-VAE implied posterior distribution of the latent variables to estimate the average effect. Across simulations, the TAG learning approach outperforms alternative approaches and demonstrates low to no bias even in adverse conditions. TAG learning offers a theory-driven flexible approach with methodological promise for causally interpretable data-adaptive analysis with latent variables. More practically, the framework allows estimation of causal effects involving latent variables even in the presence of unknown functional relationships in the measurement and structural models (e.g., data adaptive effect estimation for nonlinear/nonadditive SEMs).

  • Archaeometric Study of Kentucky Redware and Bricks at the 1820s Historic Ingels Family Bourbon County Farm and Pottery Site

    Article thumbnail: Archaeometric Study of Kentucky Redware and Bricks at the 1820s Historic Ingels Family Bourbon County Farm and Pottery Site
    Type:
    Article
    Descripción/Resumen:
    This archeometric study analyzed local clay deposits at the Ingels Family Farm, settled in the Early Nineteenth Century in Bourbon County Kentucky. The redware pottery made on site was bartered and sold in the region, and the clay deposits were also used to make the bricks that constructed the 1820 Ingels family residence, still extant as of May 2026. Numerous materials characterization techniques including XRD, XRF, DTA/TGA, Spectroscopy, wet chemical analysis, and SEM were used to determine the characteristics of the local clay deposit and the identifying characteristics of the redware. The study also tested the wares to determine an approximate firing range, which was consistent with the requirements of low-to-mid fired earthenware. This study was done using archaeological materials from a previous archaeological investigation of the farm, but new material was added with the assistance the USDA Soil Survey Office in Kentucky, who drilled core samples for the project in Spring 2012.
