This mindset could be effective in helping communities of color - namely understanding racism in health, versus going from an association with race to it being causal of differences.]]> 2021-06-11 21:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/chris1484/dx9ucvm1uqzprtnf/wish/1601944056 https://padlet.com/chris1484/dx9ucvm1uqzprtnf/wish/1601944206 The eye-opening, yet obvious, idea that introducing the intersection of disparate topics (e.g., Math/Public Health/Racism) to students can motivate and inspire them to study math, which is popularly perceived to be boring, difficult and irrelevant.]]> 2021-06-11 21:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/chris1484/dx9ucvm1uqzprtnf/wish/1601944206 Future items ccannizzo https://padlet.com/chris1484/dx9ucvm1uqzprtnf/wish/1601951371 I wanted to ask, in the networking session when people were discussing how to form a new collaborative department, an NSF program (I think for funding) was mentioned and a California program was also mentioned (I think for location and maybe also for funding), which I was curious what they were. The discussion reminded me a bit of how the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics was formed - at Stony Brook Jim Simons (math) met with C.N. Yang (physics) while chair of the math dept. Their discussions trying to understand each other led to the formation of the Simons Center where I'm currently a postdoc (also Simons made it to multi-billionaire status which helps with the Center's funding. :-) )]]> 2021-06-11 21:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/chris1484/dx9ucvm1uqzprtnf/wish/1601951371
