The IUPUI Center for Translating Research Into Practice (TRIP) was honored to host Indiana University President Pamela Whitten as our Keynote speaker. On February 25, 2022 from 12 noon to 1 p.m., a hybrid event was held at the Herron School of Art + Design Basile Auditorium and shared virtually via a Zoom webinar. During this event, President Whitten discussed her experiences as a research faculty member focused on telemedicine, new technologies and communication, and the social impacts and effects of health technologies. She also examined the evolution of collaborative translational research projects from their initial acceptance and application to the analysis of their efficacy and outcomes. Lastly, President Whitten shared her vision for translational research at Indiana University and on the IUPUI campus in the years to come.

On Thursday, October 29, 2020, the IUPUI Center for Translating Research Into Practice (TRIP) hosted the Cape of Wonders. Professor Peter Schubert, the 2020 Bantz-Petronio Translating Resaerch Into Practice Awardee, facilitated a brainstorming session to generate ideas to use clothing to power electronic devices and more. During the event, participants discussed how to potentially use this technology within the medical field, how to ensure cyber security of the device, methods to use the clothing in an environmentally positive manner, and so much more. Stay tuned for updates as this project gets closer to becoming a reality.

As much as possible, we want the Cape of Wonders to be an interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary project that engages people from a number of different fields and different schools within the IUPUI campus. Then, we want to find the right people who are interested and fascinated to try this out.
