Make It Relevant with Lauren Fowler, PhD

Interdisciplinary

Statistics are amazing! No, really -- we found a fun, brilliant human to talk to us about using statistics to engage with the world in a more informed way. Lauren Fowler (who is basically the same as Charlie from Top Gun) helps Cal and Corey shine light on the back of their knees and make it make sense.

About Our Guest:
Dr Fowler's research focuses on how we change (physiologically, cognitively, behaviorally, and emotionally) in relation to our biological rhythms. As PI or Co-Investigator on several university, NSF, and NIH grants, and as a consultant for the Air Force Research Laboratories Human Effectiveness Directorate, she has established herself as a leader in the field of circadian desynchronization and fatigue, assessing how it affects our thoughts, our emotions, our perceptions, and our behavior. Much of her work has focused on physiological variables related to circadian desynchronization, however her recent research has expanded to include how fatigue affects healthcare worker cognition, empathy, burnout, and perceptions. This research aims to decrease the effects of shift work and clinical work on fatigue and the impacts of fatigue. In addition, she is currently studying sleep, fatigue and cognition in cancer survivors (breast and prostate), with the aim of improving cancer survivor sleep to minimize detrimental effects of sleep loss on cognition, pain perception, and quality of life.
