Talk | Trustworthy health data visualization

Held by:

Liang Zhou, National Institute of Health Data Science, Peking University

Abstract:

Healthcare involves the analysis a wide range of data in various types, presenting both challenges and opportunities. In this talk, I will provide an overview of our research at Peking University on health data visualization for desktops and VR/AR devices. Our work focuses on designing trustworthy visualizations for medical problems in close collaboration with medical experts, following the design study methodology. Specifically, we device new visualization techniques for multivariate medical images and ensembles of medical images, visual analysis methods for multi-outcome causal graphs, comparative analysis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health records, situated analysis for TCM herb formulas, and immersive visualizations for studying the anatomy of inner ears.

WS | Inclusive Leadership Training (for PLs, postdoctoral and doctoral researchers)

Held by:

Dr. Susanne Hamscha, factor-D Diversity Consulting GmbH

Abstract:

Leading a diverse research team successfully can be a challenge at first. Inclusive leaders express appreciation and trust to grow, in order to strengthen collaboration and to use the diversity (of perspectives) in their teams effectively– because an inclusive work environment promotes creativity, innovation and productivity.
Based on an anti-bias approach, the offered Inclusive Leadership Training guides participants to fulfil their role as leaders more consciously. The workshop focuses around the following topics:
•    Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI): Definition and dimensions as well as barriers to implementation
•    Unconscious biases: examples (aha effects)
•    Unconscious bias as a barrier to an inclusive culture, with special consideration of the university context
•    Characteristics of an inclusive culture and principles of an inclusive leadership style
•    Strategies, tools and options for inclusive leaders
•    Personal implementation plan: What will I take away? What will I implement or change?

The workshop is designed to be interactive and includes a mix of theoretical input, discussion, individual and group exercises.

Dr Susanne Hamscha holds a PhD in Cultural Studies and is a certified Diversity Trainer.  She is an expert for the implementation of diversity strategies in higher education, science and research.
