Post-meeting Reflection

1+ paragraphs on any combination of the following:

  • Presentation highlights
  • Open questions that came up
  • How your perspective changed
  • Impact on your own work
  • e.g. the discussion on [A] that we are having reminds me of [B] conference/[C] initiative/[D] funding call-for-proposal/[E] research group

An excellent first day. We heard theory-based perspectives and came directly upon the challenges of human subjects research. The theory based perspectives from Dervis Vural, Peter Hoffmann, and Alfons Hoekstra illustrated the (relative) simplicity of models that effectively abstract and recapitulate several well-recognized characteristics of human aging and frailty. Yet human-derived data are messy, do not lend themselves easily to hypothesis testing because they are so often observational and incomplete, and are confounded by the outbred nature of humans, their varying allostatic loads, and the variety of acute-on-chronic illnesses that bring them to research studies and/or clinical care.

Reference material notes

Some examples:

  • Here is [A] database on [B] that I pull data from to do [C] analysis that might be of interest to this group (insert link).
  • Here is a free tool for calculating [ABC] (insert link)
  • This painting/sculpture/forms of artwork is emblematic to our discussion on [X]!
  • Schwartz et al. 2017 offers a review on [ABC] migration as relate to climatic factors (add the reference as well).
