SUMMARY:The Quest for Balance: Technology\, Innovation and the Public Good in Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Talk and discussion with Dr. Jonelle Bradshaw de Hernandez\, Ph.D.\nExecutive Director of Foundation Relations and researcher at The University of Texas at Austin. \nTechnical skills are paramount to succeed in the modern labor market – but the question remains\, what are the attributes and skills needed to make an impact on the social good? Who determines this and who decides and how does this impact vulnerable students in the U.S.? My first aim is to examine how well our existing higher education system encourages high-quality matches of students to professions in order to maximize national production. This is particularly important in STEM where a focus on investments in innovation and workforce development is paramount. The policies that articulate this importance are based both upon private interests and serving the public good. \nDr. Bradshaw de Hernandez works closely with advancement and academic leadership to prioritize and execute fundraising programs and initiatives that attract significant foundation support. Dr. Bradshaw de Hernandez’ research interests include the intersection of science and technological innovations\, risk perceptions and job security in building a transformational U.S. workforce focused on social good. \nPreviously\, she served as Senior Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations at Stony Brook University in New York. She graduated from Cornell University\, College of Human Ecology\, with a Bachelor of Science in Human Service Studies concentrating in Social Policy and Community Development. She received her Master of Arts in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University\, Teachers College\, an Advanced Certificate in Instructional Leadership at St. John’s University\, and her Doctorate from Stony Brook University\, College of Engineering and Applied Sciences in Technology\, Policy and Innovation.

SUMMARY:How Charts Lie - A Talk by Alberto Cairo
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all heard that a picture is worth a thousand words\, but what if we don’t understand what we’re looking at? \nCharts\, infographics\, and diagrams are ubiquitous. They are useful because they can reveal patterns and trends hidden behind the numbers we encounter in our lives. Good charts make us smarter—if we know how to read them. \nHowever\, they can also deceive us. Charts lie in a variety of ways—displaying incomplete or inaccurate data\, suggesting misleading patterns\, and concealing uncertainty— or are frequently misunderstood. Many of us are ill-equipped to interpret the visuals that politicians\, journalists\, advertisers\, and even our employers present each day. We need to learn to not only spot the lies in deceptive visuals\, but also to take advantage of good ones. In this talk\, Alberto Cairo demystifies an essential new literacy\, one that will make us better equipped to navigate our data-driven world. \nRegister for the talk at howchartslie.eventbrite.com \n\n \nAbout Alberto Cairo \nAlberto Cairo is a journalist and designer\, and the Knight Chair in Visual Journalism at the School of Communication of the University of Miami (UM). He is also the director of the visualization program at UM’s Center for Computational Science. He has been head of information graphics at media publications in Spain and Brazil. The author of several books such as ‘How Charts Lie’ (2019) and ‘The Truthful Art; (2016)\, Cairo currently consults with companies and institutions like Google\, and has provided visualization training to the European Union\, Eurostat\, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\, the Army National Guard\, and many others.
