Information Architecture: Value Proposition of Our Approach
We have to get comfortable explaining the purpose and value of the IA approach. We are more than our deliverables. We have to sell our process. We have to defend our ability to do proper discovery – stakeholder interviews, content audits, user interviews, modeling... We are the gatekeepers that hold off the solutions, the how, until we know the what and who and why. And explaining that can be really difficult! This talk aims to help us all become more comfortable with, and confident in, explaining our value proposition.

Assessment Of Online Professional Development On Faculty Teaching Virtually
This document summarizes a study that assessed the impact of an online professional development program called PIVOT+ for faculty at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. The program aimed to help faculty transition their courses to virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study utilized interviews and surveys of participating faculty to evaluate changes in their attitudes, perceptions, and self-efficacy regarding online teaching after completing the training program and teaching online in the fall semester. Relevant literature establishes that self-efficacy significantly impacts teaching quality and that professional development is important for overcoming faculty reluctance towards online teaching due to lack of training and experience with technology.

Maker Mindset Facilitates Innovation at MIT
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has had a long history of innovation. Much too often, in fact, students would convert their dorms and apartments into laboratories of innovation and invention called "makerspaces". These workspaces for innovation are central to the institution’s legacy of research and development. Makerspaces are examples of MIT’s motto, “mens et manus” (mind and hand) at work. MIT is synonymous with innovation, and this rapidly growing ecosystem is another evolution of the university’s platform for research.."
MIT's makerspaces are often categorized into three types: machine shops, project makerspaces, and community makerspaces. In the machine shop makerspaces, machinists oversee students developing complex systems. Students can seek project makerspaces to help them with class projects. In community makerspaces, students are not limited in the types of research they engage in while learning about safe maker practices.
New Grant Funds Study of Worm to Understand Serotonin and Behavior
An educator, academic, and successful entrepreneur, Jean-Jacques Degroof has extensive experience in teaching about and building new ventures.
A few years ago, Jean-Jacques Degroof launched with MIT's International Science and Technology Initiative (MISTI) an edition of Global Startup Labs at the University of Louvain in Belgium.
MIT has always been at the helm of innovation, producing some of the country’s best and brightest talent, and this year, the school was granted funding for research to study behavior on a nematode. The study’s researchers chose C. elegans because the system from which they emit and receive serotonin is comparable to that of mammals.
Because of the complexities of the nervous system in mammals, researchers could not use mammals, but they instead chose this worm because the nematode's neurons can be precisely mapped out. Scientists can genetically control these cells including the five systems that regulate serotonin.
Being able to regulate all of the neurons in the worm’s nervous system allows them to study the release of serotonin and how this affects behavior. The first two experiments will focus on how the brain uses serotonin to control behavior, and the third experiment planned will focus on how this behavior changes in complex environments.

Architect Converting Shipping Containers to Emergency Hospital Pods
Jean-Jacques Degroof is an accomplished entrepreneur and venture investor with experience teaching at leading European business schools. An alumnus of MIT Sloan School of Management, Jean-Jacques Degroof supports entrepreneurship and innovation at his alma mater.
One of the innovative projects is being undertaken at MIT is by Carlo Ratti, a professor of architecture. Mr. Ratti is developing two-bed intensive care pods out of ordinary 20-foot long shipping containers to increase hospital bed capacity in cities around the world ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pods can be built for about $100,000, equipped with all relevant medical devices, a fraction of the cost of building an emergency prefabricated hospital.
Mr. Ratti is working with a team of professionals from around the world to fast track the innovative solution. He has already received funding from UniCredit to build the prototype which will be deployed in Milan, Italy where the pandemic is straining health care systems. He will make the designs public so that teams around the world can use them to ramp up their healthcare capabilities. He is also in talks with automotive manufacturers to mass-produce the pods.
MIT Tests Innovative COVID-19 Treatment
Jean-Jacques Degroof, PhD, is an accomplished financial industry executive and academic professional who engages in venture investment. Outside his work, Jean-Jacques Degroof supports the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a member of visiting committees and advisory boards. Moreover, he advances entrepreneurship and innovation at the school by sponsoring activities such as Hacking Arts, the 15K Creative Arts Competition, and an accelerator program.
Since its founding in 1861, MIT has advanced knowledge in the fields of technology, science, and other areas of scholarship. The institution, which was originally founded to drive the United State’s industrial revolution, currently instructs over 11,500 students and and has a research budget of $773,901 million in 2019..
Recently, an MIT chemistry team led by associate professor Brad Pentelute began testing a drug candidate that held promise as a treatment for COVID-19. The drug, a peptide or short protein fragment, mimics proteins found on the surface of human cells. Initial research of the drug has shown it can disarm coronaviruses by binding to a viral protein that the virus uses to enter cells.
For additional information on the study, which was initially reported on the online preprint server bioRxiv, visit http://news.mit.edu/2020/peptide-drug-block-covid-19-cells-0327.
MIT Sloan's Innovative Artificial Intelligence-Based Tactile Glove
MIT Sloan researchers have developed a scalable tactile glove (STAG) with approximately 550 sensors that allows AI systems to receive tactile feedback. STAG achieved up to 76% accuracy in identifying common objects like a mug or tennis ball without visual information and could correctly guess their weight within 60 grams. The researchers believe integrating STAG with computer vision could enable robots to replicate human interactions like doing chores or washing dishes, and it may also help with customizing prosthetics.
MIT Researchers Use Visual Stimulation to Treat Alzheimer’s Disease
MIT researchers used flickering LED lights at a specific frequency to stimulate the visual cortex of mice with Alzheimer's disease. This visual stimulation significantly reduced the buildup of beta amyloid plaques in the mice's brains. While the results were promising in mice, the director of MIT's Picower Institute cautioned that treatments effective in mice do not always translate well to humans. However, the noninvasive nature of visual stimulation makes it a desirable treatment approach.

Mit researchers discover functional link between apoe4 and alzheimer's
MIT researchers discovered that the APOE4 gene variant linked to Alzheimer's disease dysregulates cholesterol metabolism in astrocytes and impairs microglia's ability to remove amyloid proteins and foreign matter in the brain. The study is the first to reveal the functional connection of how APOE4 increases the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's, as previous research only showed a statistical correlation. The researchers were able to reverse the negative effects of APOE4 by using gene editing to convert it to the APOE3 variant in brain cells.
