Taking action to advance the study of race and ethnicity: the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI)
Women's Midlife Health, 2022 “Race” and “ethnicity” are socially constructed terms, not based on biology - in contrast to biologic ancestry and genetic admixture - and are flexible, contested, and unstable concepts, often driven by power.

Statistical Model Checking for Stochastic Hybrid Systems [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2012 This paper presents novel extensions and applications of the UPPAAL-SMC model checker. The extensions allow for statistical model checking of stochastic hybrid systems. We show how our race-based stochastic semantics extends to networks of hybrid systems,

The influence of race and ethnicity on the biology of cancer [PDF]
Nature Reviews Cancer, 2012 It is becoming clear that some of the differences in cancer risk, incidence and survival among people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds can be attributed to biological factors. However, identifying these factors and exploiting them to help eliminate cancer disparities has proved challenging.

Society's educational debts in biology, chemistry, and physics across race, gender, and class [PDF]
arXivThe success of collaborative instruction in helping students achieve higher grades in introductory science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses has led many educators and researchers to assume these methods also address inequities. However, little evidence tests this assumption.

Nineteenth Century US BMIs by Race: Socioeconomics and Biology [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012 Little research exists on late 19th and early 20th century US body mass index value differences by race, and darker complexions were associated with greater BMI values. Mulattos had greater BMI returns associated with socioeconomic characteristics, indicating that while blacks had greater BMIs than fairer complexioned whites and mulattos, part of the ...

Race Disparities in Wilms Tumor Incidence and Biology [PDF]
Journal of Surgical Research, 2011 Wilms tumor (WT) is thought to arise in children of Black African ancestry with greater frequency than in Whites. To clarify the biological basis for race disparities in WT, we first verified that Black children residing in Tennessee have an increased incidence of WT, and second, established molecular profiles in WT that are specific to race.To assess ...
