Heritability Estimation Using Genomic Data Analysis
This presentation delves into the methods and techniques for estimating heritability using genomic data analysis, covering topics such as Genomic Relatedness Matrices, GREML, Regression Estimates of VA, and more. Various approaches, including Haseman-Elston regression, mixed effects models, and Bayesian methods, are discussed to derive unbiased estimates of VA captured by measured SNPs. The regression estimates of h2 based on centered scores, genetic similarity at SNPs, and different covariance components are explored and illustrated with examples.

Spatial Inequities of Heat Impacts in Portland Oregon Climate Justice
What is Redlining? Housing Segregation and Redlining in America: A Short History | Code Switch | NPR In 1968, Congress passed the Fair Housing Act that made it illegal to discriminate in housing. Gene Demby of NPR s Code Switch explains why neighborhoods are still so segregated today. Read "How Segregation Shapes Fatal Police Violence" at https://n.pr/2Ic6A1Q Read or listen to: "'The Color Of Law' Details How U.S. Housing Policies Created Segregation" at https://n.pr/2HgqATh WHAT S CODE SWITCH? It's the fearless conversations about race that you've been waiting for! Hosted by journalists of color, our podcast tackles the subject of race head-on. We explore how it impacts every part of society from politics and pop culture to history, sports and everything in between. This podcast makes ALL OF US part of the conversation because we're all part of the story.

Urban Heat Island Effect How urban heat islands make the impacts of excessive heat worse Living in certain parts of a city can make the impacts of extreme heat worse. That s because of a phenomenon called the urban heat island effect. A recent report by the research group Climate Central showed that more than 40 million Americans live in these hot spots. William Brangham discussed what this means for those residents with Michael Mendez of the University of California, Irvine.

Lets Discuss! What patterns do you see?
Visualizing the Data I used a subset of the data to create some graphs so that we could see some patterns more easily.

The Good News! In 2018, 65% of Portlanders made history by passing Measure 26-201, the Portland Clean Energy Fund (PCEF) ballot initiative. PCEF is the first climate-fund measure in the country created by and for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities and others on the frontlines of climate change. After nine months of gathering community input, the PCEF Committee created a Climate Investment Plan (CIP). Climate Investment Plan (CIP) will invest $750 million of PCEF funding in green jobs and healthy homes, especially for those on the frontlines of the climate crisis, racism, and displacement over the next 5 years. The Climate Investment Plan has been developed through extensive BIPOC-led community engagement, And one of the parts of the climate investment plan is to plant more street trees! OPB Portland Passes Climate Investment Plan
Civic Engagement Civic engagement means working to make a difference in the civic life of our communities and developing the combination of knowledge, skills, values and motivation to make that difference. It means promoting the quality of life in a community, through both political and non-political processes (New York Times). Today we are going to focus on the awareness and education aspect of civic engagement. By sharing what we know with others, we can spread momentum and make it more likely that we will see policies and actions that help to increase equity in our communities.
