S2E9 - Back to the Lab with Micah Mazurek: Effective Mental Health Care for Individuals with Autism
<h1>Episode Notes</h1> <p>Today we are going "back to the lab," where we revisit one of our most popular episodes from season 1.</p> <p>As April gives way to May, we move from Autism Awareness Month into Mental Health Awareness Month. Today, we are revisiting a conversation with Professor Micah Mazurek, whose work sits at the intersection of those very two things: autism and mental health.</p> <p>Autism often exists alongside co-occurring conditions, such as difficulties with sleep or gastrointestinal issues, as well as depression and anxiety. For individuals with autism seeking mental health care, medicine-based treatments can bring disruptive side effects that are not compatible with other challenges they experience. </p> <p>Mazurek and her team are working to better understand what specific mental health treatments best support individuals with autism.</p> <p>In this episode of EdLab, Mazurek explains the increase in autism diagnoses and discusses her research on mental health treatments for individuals with autism. </p> <p>Learn more at the <a href="https://education.virginia.edu/research-initiatives/research-centers-labs/supporting-transformative-autism-research" rel="nofollow">Supporting Transformative Autism Research initiative website</a>. </p> <p>EdLab is a production of WTJU 91.1FM and the UVA School of Education and Human Development.

S2E8 - What is AI Literacy and How Can We Improve It with Natasha Heny
<h1>Episode Notes</h1> <p>With artificial intelligence evolving at such a rapid pace, it can feel intimidating to try and keep up. But whether you're a teacher, a parent, a student, or an employee in nearly any field, understanding what AI is and how it is present in our lives is critical. </p> <p>According to Associate Professor Natasha Heny, the rise of AI brings with it a need for each of us to think critically about how, when and where generative AI might be used responsibly—what she calls practicing AI literacy.</p> <p>In addition to teaching future middle and high school English teachers in our department of curriculum, instruction, and special education, Natasha serves as a University of Virginia AI guide. In that role, she works with faculty and students to explore the ethical and instructional implications of AI in education. </p> <p>“We want to design learning environments that can keep human curiosity, voice and connection at the center. And I don't think that AI is excluded from that.”</p> <p>In this episode, Heny helps answer some basic questions about what artificial intelligence literacy means. She offers insights into some of the fears and misconceptions about AI and shares practical ways we can begin developing our own AI literacy.</p> <p>EdLab is a production of the University of Virginia School of Education and Human Development and WTJU 91.1 FM.
