Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all of you for being here. I feel like we have a mini capstone discussion going on, because of your agencies.
Dr. Adem, you mentioned mathematics, and that got my interest. I'm doing a master's program right now, and we're using linear regression analysis in different ways. I was looking at it from a manufacturing point of view, which was my background. What products are making the most profits? How do you determine that? What data do you need to capture?
Another person in our class was looking at nursing. Dr. Clifford, with what you've worked on in biostatistics and epidemiology, there's some tie-in there.
We're also looking at management and how you inspire people to perform. Dr. Hewitt, how do you create a culture of innovation and trust using data?
Is data the connecting link in this organization? Is it one of the main connecting links? Maybe you could speak to how you would work on the problem of trying to get people working on a complex problem that involves health, engineering and social sciences.
Dr. Adem can start.
