- Sep 253:30 PMUCHI Fellow's Talk: Yusuf MansoorA research talk by Draper Dissertation Fellow Yusuf Mansoor on "From New England to Tangier: Indigenous slavery and the English Atlantic at the beginning of King Philip's War," with a response by Heather Ostman. This talk focuses on a group of Native Americans who were enslaved and sent to English Tangier in the 1670s. It will contextualize this enslavement by detailing the beginning of King Philip's War to examine more closely who these captives were, where they came from, and how they came to be enslaved by English colonists. From there, the presentation will track their passage from New England to Tangier, as well as the transatlantic imperial connections that fueled this unusual path.Yusuf Mansoor is a PhD candidate in the History Department, and the Draper Dissertation Fellow at the UCHI. His research focuses on Native Americans and the Atlantic World in the seventeenth century, with a focus on New England. He has received research fellowships from the Massachusetts Historical Society, the John Carter Brown Library, the Omohundro Institute for Early American History and Culture, the American Philosophical Society, and the Folger Shakespeare Library.Heather Ostman Heather Ostman is Professor of English, Director of the Humanities Institute, and Humanities Curriculum Chair at SUNY Westchester Community College in Valhalla, New York. She is the author/editor of ten books, including Kate Chopin and the City: The New Orleans Stories (2024). She is the recipient of two NEH grants and a SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities, and she is the co-founder and president of the Kate Chopin International Society. The UCHI Visiting Fellowship will enable Heather the time and space to work on her next book project, which is titled "Nineteenth-Century American Literature, Religion, and the Search for Grace."

- Sep 254:00 PMStatistics Colloquium: Babette Brumback, Professor Emerita, University of FloridaInteresting Statistical Lessons in Providing Real World Evidence that theensoETMDevice Protects the Esophagus from Thermal Injury During Radiofrequency Ablation Presented by Babette Brumback, PhD Professor Emerita, Department of Biostatistics University of FloridaDate: Wednesday, September 25, 2024,4:00 PM, AUST 202 Coffee will be served at 3:30 pm in the Noether Lounge (AUST 326)Webex Meeting Link (https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/uconn-cmr/j.php?MTID=mb47bfc6fb38cd27d1158ff4f92a68018)Thermal injury to the esophagus can lead to a life-threatening complication, called atrial-esophageal fistula, after ablation for atrial fibrillation. TheensoETMdevice (Attune Medical, Chicago, IL, USA) is routinely used to control body temperature in at risk patients in an intensive care setting and in patients whose body temperature must be lowered to protect an injured brain. As it does this by warming or cooling the lumen of the esophagus and stomach, physicians hypothesized that it could also protect the esophagus during radiofrequency (RF) ablation.In an effort toprovide real world evidence in support of this hypothesis, we were tasked with analyzing two separate datasets. The first compares incidences of atrial-esophageal fistula prior to versussubsequent tointroduction of theensoETMwithin several medical centers. The second includes three randomized controlled studies of RF ablation with and without theensoETM. In the first, we must choose an analysis thataccomodatessurprising data in the post-introduction period. In the second, data from one center leads to a statistically significant difference,whereasdata from the other two do not. The primary analysis combined data across centers andfailed toshow a difference. However, greater RF ablation time was associated with greater thermal injury, and it also differed across center. Including RF ablation time, which has the status of a potential mediator because it is a post-treatment variable, as an effect modifier presents a different picture of the combined data, and it illustrates some of the challenges of working with an ordinal outcome that is non-zero for only 29 of 166 patients in the combined data. Finally, we present two ways to handle confounders in an analysis that compares efficacy of the ablation with and without theensoETM.

This special event is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 25, at the Branford House on UConn's Avery Point campus in Groton, featuring Dr. Johnson in conversation with The Nature Conservancy. A policy expert, writer, and co-founder of the non-profit think tank Urban Ocean Lab, Dr. Johnson is focused on solutions to the climate crisis. Her latest book, "What If We Get it Right?: Visions of Climate Futures," will be released in September. Along the beautiful and poignant backdrop of the Connecticut coastline, Dr. Johnson will explore our relationship with the ocean in conversation with TNC's Sally McGee, director of climate and strategic initiatives for TNC's Global Aquaculture Program. NBC Connecticut Meteorologist Rachael Jay will attend the conversation as moderator. People have an enormous impact on water. But oceans are affecting people too, often much more than we realize. Let's define the future for oceans and people. Join Dr. Johnson and TNC for this important moment in nature's story.
