Institute for Advanced Study, Northrop, and University Honors Program Present

Lisiane Pruinelli, PhD, MS, RN, FAMIA: Associate Professor, University of Minnesota School of Nursing & College of Medicine, University of Florida
Mary O. Whipple, PhD, RN, PHN: Assistant Professor, University of Minnesota School of Nursing
Moderated by Michael Corey: Geospatial, Technical, and Data Lead, Mapping Prejudice

Nursing often conjures up mental images of a caring relationship with a patient, but nursing practice is also grounded in enormous amounts of empirical evidence. University of Minnesota School of Nursing faculty will share unique perspectives of nursing and provide a broad range of examples from working one-on-one with patients in clinical laboratories and the community to extracting knowledge from data generated from millions of patients. The speakers will also discuss the pros and cons of these different approaches, the resulting potential for collaboration, and how the rapid growth of sensors, smart devices, and artificial intelligence is changing the way health care is delivered.

About the Presenters

Dr. Lisiane Pruinelli is an Associate Professor in the College of Nursing with a joint appointment with the College of Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL. At the UF, she is part of the UFHealth AI—a multi-college network of investigators harnessing AI to benefit science and health in exciting new ways. Outside the UF, she is affiliated with the Institute for Health Informatics and the School of Nursing, University of Minnesota, MN. Her area of research is applying innovative informatics tools and data science methods to investigate the trajectory of complex disease conditions. Her main goal is to develop the foundations for new personalized strategies for disease treatment and management over time, addressing national initiatives for holistic models of care. With the heavy adoption of machine learning and artificial intelligence in healthcare and in her own work, she currently has been actively involved in laying the foundational discussions and knowledge for socially, ethically, and policy safe intelligent systems in nursing.

Mary Whipple is an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing and an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the School of Medicine at the University of Colorado. Her research focuses on understanding the effects of sedentary behavior and physical activity on cardiovascular health among older adults, with a particular focus on individuals with type 2 diabetes and peripheral artery disease. Her primary goal is to understand both the causes and consequences of sedentary behavior in order to help older adults develop strategies to manage their chronic conditions and preserve or improve their physical function and quality of life.

Michael Corey is the Geospatial, Technical, and Data Lead / Associate Director for Mapping Prejudice. Michael is in charge of developing and maintaining Mapping Prejudice’s technical workflows, which use crowdsourcing to identify racially restrictive housing covenants on properties in Minnesota and beyond. Before transitioning to public history, Michael spent 20 years as a journalist and data journalist at the Star Tribune, Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting and the Des Moines Register. His journalism spanned zoning and segregation, mortgage disparities, the U.S.-Mexico border fence system, human-induced earthquakes, and sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.

About the Spotlight Series

The University of Minnesota Spotlight Series is a collaborative partnership between the Institute for Advanced Study, Northrop, and University Honors Program to present lectures, panel discussions, exhibits, and other events throughout the academic year around timely topics of interest. The six-part 2022-23 series will focus on how data—their collection, analysis, and the research questions that rely on them—connect to the deeply personal lived experiences of individual human beings and to the human condition at large. Events are Thursdays 3:30-5:00 pm CT and may be attended in Northrop’s Best Buy Theater or online via Zoom. Q&A sessions will follow each event.
