Mentoring for academic careers in engineering

ADVANCE: Organizational Change for Gender Equity in STEM Academic Professions AND Program Evaluation

Cosman P, Effros M, Ostendorf M, Riskin E.
GSID: dCZoQ-YO15QJ
E Riskin, M Ostendorf, P Cosman, M Effros, J Li… - … for Academic Careers in …, 2004 - Citeseer

In late June 2004 a workshop was held at Stanford University on the subject of mentoring for academic careers in Engineering. For two days (20–22 June) the workshop provided a forum on the needs, goals, methods, and best practices...

Correlated z-values and the accuracy of large-scale statistical estimates.

Journal of the American Statistical Association

Efron B.
PMID: 21052523
J Am Stat Assoc. 2010 Sep 01;105(491):1042-1055. doi: 10.1198/jasa.2010.tm09129.

We consider large-scale studies in which there are hundreds or thousands of correlated cases to investigate, each represented by its own normal variate, typically a z-value. A familiar example is provided by a microarray experiment comparing healthy with sick...

The Future of Indirect Evidence.

Statistical science : a review journal of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics

Efron B.
PMID: 21243111
Stat Sci. 2010 May;25(2):145-157. doi: 10.1214/09-STS308.

Familiar statistical tests and estimates are obtained by the direct observation of cases of interest: a clinical trial of a new drug, for instance, will compare the drug's effects on a relevant set of patients and controls. Sometimes, though,...

The role of CD8 T cell replicative senescence in human aging.

Discovery medicine

Effros RB.
PMID: 20704891
Discov Med. 2005 Jun;5(27):293-7.

Extract: Normal somatic cells are strictly limited in the number of times they can divide. This intrinsic barrier to unlimited proliferation, a process known as replicative senescence, was first described by Hayflick and colleagues nearly fifty years ago in...

Two modeling strategies for empirical Bayes estimation.

Statistical science : a review journal of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics

Efron B.
PMID: 25324592
Stat Sci. 2014 May;29(2):285-301. doi: 10.1214/13-sts455.

Empirical Bayes methods use the data from parallel experiments, for instance observations

Making Mountains of Morality From Molehills of Virtue: Threat Causes People to Overestimate Their Moral Credentials.

Personality & social psychology bulletin

Effron DA.
PMID: 24793359
Pers Soc Psychol Bull. 2014 Aug;40(8):972-985. doi: 10.1177/0146167214533131. Epub 2014 May 02.

Seven studies demonstrate that threats to moral identity can increase how definitively people think they have previously proven their morality. When White participants were made to worry that their future behavior could seem racist, they overestimated how much a...

Bayesian inference and the parametric bootstrap.

The annals of applied statistics

Efron B.
PMID: 23843930
Ann Appl Stat. 2012 Oct 01;6(4):1971-1997. doi: 10.1214/12-AOAS571.

The parametric bootstrap can be used for the efficient computation of Bayes posterior distributions. Importance sampling formulas take on an easy form relating to the deviance in exponential families, and are particularly simple starting from Jeffreys invariant prior. Because...

Berber genealogy and the politics of prehistoric archaeology and craniology in French Algeria (1860s-1880s).

British journal for the history of science

Effros B.
PMID: 28202101
Br J Hist Sci. 2017 Mar;50(1):61-81. doi: 10.1017/S0007087417000024. Epub 2017 Feb 16.

Following the conquest of Algiers and its surrounding territory by the French army in 1830, officers noted an abundance of standing stones in this region of North Africa. Although they attracted considerably less attention among their cohort than more...

Decays of the Three Top Contributors to the Reactor ν[over ¯]_{e} High-Energy Spectrum, ^{92}Rb, ^{96gs}Y, and ^{142}Cs, Studied with Total Absorption Spectroscopy.

Physical review letters

Rasco BC, Wolińska-Cichocka M, Fijałkowska A, Rykaczewski KP, Karny M, Grzywacz RK, Goetz KC, Gross CJ, Stracener DW, Zganjar EF, Batchelder JC, Blackmon JC, Brewer NT, Go S, Heffron B, King T, Matta JT, Miernik K, Nesaraja CD, Paulauskas SV, Rajabali MM, Wang EH, Winger JA, Xiao Y, Zachary CJ.
PMID: 27610847
Phys Rev Lett. 2016 Aug 26;117(9):092501. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.117.092501. Epub 2016 Aug 22.

We report total absorption spectroscopy measurements of ^{92}Rb, ^{96gs}Y, and ^{142}Cs β decays, which are the most important contributors to the high energy ν[over ¯]_{e} spectral shape in nuclear reactors. These three β decays contribute 43% of the ν[over...

REFLECTING TOGETHER: REFLECTIVE FUNCTIONING AS A FOCUS FOR DEEPENING GROUP SUPERVISION.

Infant mental health journal

Heffron MC, Reynolds D, Talbot B.
PMID: 27783848
Infant Ment Health J. 2016 Nov;37(6):628-639. doi: 10.1002/imhj.21608. Epub 2016 Oct 26.

This article proposes how group reflective supervision, informed by the theory of reflective functioning, may provide a powerful method for developing reflective capacity of staff serving families, infants, and young children in multidisciplinary settings. An explanation of reflective functioning,...

Roy Walford and the immunologic theory of aging.

Immunity & ageing : I & A

Effros RB.
PMID: 15850487
Immun Ageing. 2005 Apr 25;2(1):7. doi: 10.1186/1742-4933-2-7.

Roy Walford died on April 27, 2004, at the age of 79. His contributions to gerontological research in such diverse areas as caloric restriction, genetics of lifespan, immunosenescence, DNA repair and replicative senescence were truly remarkable in their depth...

Low physical function as a risk factor for incident diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance.

Future virology

Longenberger A, Lim JY, Brown TT, Abraham A, Palella FJ, Effros RB, Orchard T, Brooks MM, Kingsley LA.
