SUMMARY:Occupant-Centric Simulation-Aided Building Design--Methods to obtain the occupant perspective
DESCRIPTION:International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA) is a non-profit international society of building performance simulation researchers\, developers and practitioners\, dedicated to improving the built environment. Their new seminar series\, Occupant-Centric Simulation-Aided Building Design\, promotes occupants as a focal point for the design process. A multi-disciplinary\, globally recognized team of scholars and practitioners responsible for an important new textbook will discuss theoretical and practical approaches to placing occupants and their needs at the heart of the design process. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar Clinton Andrews\, Bloustein School Professor and Associate Dean for Research will critically examine methods for learning about the occupant’s perspective regarding the design of buildings. He will discuss the nature of occupant data; the strengths and weaknesses of self-report\, observational\, and simulation methods; and the need to represent occupants prudently during the design process.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration is required at https://bit.ly/IBPSA_webinars_candrews\n\nSee the complete webinar series flyer.

SUMMARY:Changes in Healthcare Visits Due to Cannabis Use Following Legalization of Non-medical Cannabis in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, March 27\, at 12 pm ET for a presentation of the NJ ACTS Special Populations Core 2024 Seminar Series – Changes in Healthcare Visits Due to Cannabis Use Following Legalization of Non-medical Cannabis in Canada with Daniel Myran\, MD\, MPH\, CCFP\, FRCPC. \nAn increasing number of countries and US states have legalized or are considering the legalization of cannabis for non-medical use. A major concern is that legalization could increase cannabis use and associated harms. This presentation will review studies tracking changes in healthcare visits due to cannabis in children and adults following non-medical cannabis legalization in Canada. \nDr. Daniel Myran is a clinician-scientist and assistant professor with the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Ottawa. He is an associate scientist at ICES\, where his research program focuses on using natural experiments combined with linked health administrative data to better understand the impacts of public policy on mental health and substance use healthcare visits and outcomes. He practices family medicine with an interest in addiction medicine. \nRegister for the event: https://go.rutgers.edu/jveb79ao

SUMMARY:Disability Justice: Driving Authentic Change Towards Action
DESCRIPTION:RSVP HERE \nAre we doing enough within our policies to not just accommodate\, but also uplift people with disabilities? \nOn Wednesday\, March 27\,  join the Bloustein School for an important conversation as we collectively work towards dismantling barriers and building a society where everyone can thrive. Attendees will gain valuable insights into creating spaces celebrating diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, and ensuring that we all play a significant role in developing an inclusive and just society. \nOur annual DEI Lecture will critically assess the systems that seek to build inclusive communities. From access to health equity\, discussants will navigate the landscape of inclusivity\, shedding light on areas that demand attention and reform. \nThe lecture will serve as a call to action for students\, organizations\, and policymakers to examine their roles in driving authentic change. It seeks to foster a deeper understanding of disability justice and its impact on health equity\, policy development\, and community building. By giving voice to the lived experiences of people with disabilities and examples of disability justice at work\, we aim to catalyze tangible strides toward a more inclusive and equitable future for all. \nGuest Speaker: Jashar “Shar” Banks ’23\, Advocate and Mental Health Specialist\, Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care \n\n“Life has taught me important lessons\, and sometimes the best way is the hard way.” Raised by a a single mother\,  Jashar “Shar” Banks used his upbringing to grasp a better understanding of the value of earned rewards\, learning to accept failures as lessons and as a part of success. A wheelchair-bound paraplegic\, Shar has focused on personal growth in all areas of his life including work ethic\, social skills\, and leisure activities. He continues to strive towards success by acknowledging the lessons disguised in inevitable failures as his goal to remain a lifelong learner. Although no longer able to pursue a career path as a firefighter\, he hasn’t halted his aspirations to serve others. Pursuing a career as a developmental psychologist with the goal of help youth from troubled and underprivileged communities\, the 2023 Rutgers alumnus is currently employed as a Mental Health Specialist for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.\n\nPanelists: Recipients of Inclusive Healthy Communities Grant 2021-22\, 2022-23:  \nJennifer M.
