Research ShowCASE + Intersections2019 DISCOVERY, COLLABORATION + COMMUNITY Friday, April 19, 2019 WELCOME TO Research ShowCASE 2019

I am so glad you could join us for Research ShowCASE + Intersections, a unique opportunity for researchers at Case Western Reserve University and its affiliates to present their inventions, discoveries, scholarship, and creative achievements.

We are proud to host Research ShowCASE for its 15th year. Included are nearly 600 presentations from high school students, undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs, faculty members and staff, representing virtually every academic discipline and specialty we practice at CWRU. The breadth of activity and the degree of interdisciplinary collaboration evidenced in these presentations is truly impressive! Suzanne M. Rivera, PhD Vice President for Research and We are especially delighted to welcome Mona Chalabi as the Technology Management keynote speaker today. Ms. Chalabi is a journalist who really loves numbers. She is the Data Editor of The Guardian where she writes articles, produces documentaries, and conveys data through illustration and animation. She is also a data journalist for NPR.

After analyzing statistics for the United Nations, she saw how important data is and how easily it could be used by people with their own specific agendas. Since then, her work for organizations like Transparency International and The Guardian has had one goal: to make sure as many people as possible can find and question the data they need to make informed decisions about their lives.

Several new events have been added to Research ShowCASE this year. Our Corporate Relations Office is hosting “Women in Technology”, a lecture by Barbara Humpton, the CEO of Siemens, USA. As the lead institution for a National Science Foundation (NSF) Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate program (AGEP) grant, CWRU welcomes the participation of AGEP program participants from institutions across Northern . Also new this year, Research ShowCASE is proud to partner with the Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities in hosting the final round of the Warren A. Guthrie competition, which will recognize the university’s most outstanding undergraduate public speakers.

Be sure to download our mobile app that will allow you to map your own individual journeys through the displays. I hope you will use it to chart a course through this impressive collection of posters, videos, prototypes, and other demonstrations.

“Taking the Numb Out of Numbers”

Mona Chalabi is a journalist who really loves numbers. She is the data editor of The Guardian where she writes articles, produces documentaries, and illustrates, as well as animates, data. She is also a data journalist for NPR.

After analyzing statistics for the United Nations, Mona Chalabi saw how important data was, but also how easily it could be used by people with their own specific agendas. Since then, her work for organizations like Transparency International and The Guardian has had one goal: to make sure as many people as possible can find and question the data they need to make informed decisions about their lives. She gives speeches and Mona Chalabi teaches courses on data journalism, and when she can, she illustrates data. Her illustrations were commended by the Royal Statistical Society; they said, “Her deceptively simple graphs are fun and accessible.”

Mona also helped create the Emmy-nominated four- part video series “Vagina Dispatches” which explores the physical, social, and sometimes political dynamics that surround women’s bodies. She also hosts Vice’s TV program “The Business of Life,” a new kind of talk show that breaks down the financial machinery behind some of the most important issues of our time. Mona has a master’s degree in International Security from the Paris Institute of Political Studies and has worked for FiveThirtyEight, the Banks of England, the Economist Intelligence Unit, and the International Organization for Migration.
