Hosted by UConn Health Research A Webinar Series from The Cato T. Laurencin Institute for Regenerative Engineering of the University of Connecticut Beyond the science, the webinars will address the personal dimensions of research training. What is the ideal environment to train young scientists? What are the barriers? How does the young scholar mesh into the fabric of the organization? In all, attendees to the webinars will appreciate contemporary science in regeneration and the dynamics of transferring that science to the next generation in the enterprise. Participants are selected from the Cato T. Laurencin Institute for Regenerative Engineering's signature T32 Doctoral and Young Innovative Investigator Programs as well as UConn's graduate training. The Cato T. Laurencin Institute for Regenerative Engineering is producing this series in partnership with the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI). The webinars will inform participants and the audience on the perspective of young scientists in training conducting research in regenerative engineering supplemental by the interaction with their research mentors.

AbstractThis study examined how message framing and information source impact risky investment decision making across two experimental studies with undergraduates as participants. A novel risk measurement known as the Risk Index Factor was developed in order to assess risk levels in participants investment portfolios. Participants allocated fake money into their portfolios based on message condition and information source. Results showed that across both studies, the investment source of financial influencers produced the riskiest portfolios. Additionally, in Study 2, gain framed messages consistently generated higher portfolio risk scores. Lastly, financial well-being was found to moderate the relationship between FOMO condition and portfolio risk scores. These findings challenge FOMO's impact on risk, display message framing's influence, and highlights impacts of different information sources. Implications for Prospect Theory and financial literacy are discussed."  Use the following link to join the Webex meeting: https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/meet/ndc11002 (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuconn-cmr.webex.com%2Fmeet%2Fndc11002&data=05%7C02%7Cmichael.melnik%40uconn.edu%7Cebe937318832476f7c4e08dd79141c6c%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638799849460293585%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=CQxojVI6w1eziU0vWVf5H4Y0fcb5XzngsAZY43ODFHI%3D&reserved=0) or arrive in ARJ 225 at 1pm on April 29th.

The Department of Communication's Nathan Chase will defend his Dissertation titled: "How Do FOMO and Framed Messages Impact the Relationship Between Investing Information Source and Risky Financial Decision-Making?". This research investigates how information sources impact financial decision-making through message framing. Additionally, a new investment behavioral assessment was developed to measure financial risk. This is the final milestone to complete in Nathan's PhD career.
