I presented a poster entitled “Geographic variation in the oral microbiome of NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study participants” at the 2021 FDA-NIH-NIST-USDA Joint Agency Microbiome (JAM) Symposium held virtually due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. This poster was previously presented at the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology 2020 Annual meeting.
I presented my oral abstract entitled “Roadway Proximity and Lung Cancer Risk in NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study Participants” at the 33rd Annual Conference of the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology held virtually due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
I first authored an article in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health entitled “Ingestion of Nitrate and Nitrite and Risk of Stomach and Other Digestive System Cancers in the Iowa Women’s Health Study.”
I presented my invited talk entitled “Estimating environmental mixtures in a geospatial context” in a symposium entitled “Implementing geolocation-based exposure assessments” at the Society for Epidemiologic Reserach 2021 annual meeting held virtually due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
I received an annual Merit Award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Division of Cancer Prevention Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program (CPFP) that recognizes scientific productivity, leadership, and exemplary service to the CPFP, NCI, National Institutes of Health, and other outside organizations in cancer prevention.
Spatial Power is a web application that calculates the power for spatial statistics. Currently, the tool has one module for the spatial relative risk function.
I co-first authored an article in the International Journal of Health Geographics entitled “sparrpowR: a flexible R package to estimate statistical power to identify spatial clustering of two groups and its application.”
I presented a lightning talk entitled “Geographic Variation in the Oral Microbiome of NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study Participants” at a National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences workshop entitled Impact of Environmental Exposures on the Microbiome and Human Health held virtually due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
I co-authored an article in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health entitled “Spatial Heterogeneity in Positional Errors: A Comparison of Two Residential Geocoding Efforts in the Agricultural Health Study,” which is included in the Special Issue Spatial Data Uncertainty in Public Health Research.
Dr. Derek Brown and I received a Trans-Fellowship Research Award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Division of Cancer Prevention Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program (CPFP) to supplement our 2020 DCEG Informatics Tool Challenge Award.
