Dr. Ploutz-Snyder is a Research Professor and Director of the Applied Biostatistics Laboratory in the University of Michigan School of Nursing, where he oversees a small group of faculty and staff with a team-science mission of joining and supporting various research programs within the School. The Applied Biostatistics Laboratory supports Nursing faculty research programs by collaborating as Co-Investigators, contributing expertise in experimental design, sampling and randomization strategies, data safety and monitoring plans, outcomes selection, sample size determination, data visualization, and statistical analysis planning and execution. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Michigan, Dr. Ploutz-Snyder was a member of the Biostatistics Laboratory within the Human Research Program at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, where he collaborated with NASA scientists from various disciplines focused on characterizing and reducing the risks associated with short and long-duration spaceflight on the human body. Spaceflight research presents many challenges to the investigative team, including small sample size, sub-optimal outcome measurement capabilities, missing data, and other issues. Dr. Ploutz-Snyder will present some of his ongoing challenges with NASA research focused on understanding some of the effects that long-duration spaceflight appears to be having on astronauts’ vision, ocular structures, and intracranial pressure. Light refreshments for seminar guests will be served at 3:10 p.m. in 1690
