Arlen Moller, an associate professor in the psychology department at the Illinois Institute of Technology, said it's important to distinguish between types of fantasy sports. "Some are more oriented towards gambling and playing with strangers. But the foundational versions of the season-long game are usually played between friends and family," said Moller, who studies the motivations behind healthy behavior and has examined using fantasy sports to promote health.

“There is an overwhelming belief in the consumer movie audiences that product placements actually add value to the movie,” said Siva Balasubramanian, a professor of marketing at the Illinois Institute of Technology who has studied the impact of product placements for more than 30 years. “They make the characters more believable and the story more contextually appropriate.”

“I look at who was hired at a law firm and who is actively practicing in that law firm as my baseline, and then I look to the gender gap of who is signing office actions and patent applications — that is, who is getting credit,” Assistant Professor Jordana Goodman said about her research, which has been published in the Yale Journal of Law & Technology. “That is the gap that I am talking about, the gap between people who are present and people who are credited.”

Illinois Tech Professor Siva Balasubramanian, an expert on brand marketing and product placement, says research reveals the US market has the highest level of consumer positivity towards product placement. “That’s where Hollywood is, so that should not be any surprise,” he notes. “However, (looking at) Europe and Asia, it is positive and growing in positivity.”

“President Trump faces four trials, possibly within five months. How can he focus on campaigning during that time?” said Harold Krent, professor of law at Illinois Institute of Technology's �糵����-Kent College of Law. “Maybe it doesn’t matter, but we will still have to see.”

Eric Breese, associate CIO of the Illinois Institute of Technology, said during the event that his institution’s approach to computer labs has evolved significantly over the past decade. He said the institution’s nearly 1,000 PCs has dwindled to around 550 as it pursues a 100% remote model for its computer lab. Breese said old-school computer labs are expensive and time-consuming to maintain because the hardware must be refreshed every few years. Space on campuses is limited, and many institutions have already invested in cloud technology and laptop loan programs to support the switch to remote labs, he said.

“Ten years ago, these arguments (that threaten the regulatory authority of FINRA) were frivolous,” said James Tierney, a professor at the �糵����-Kent College of Law and a former in-house attorney for the SEC. “But the Supreme Court has made enough room for (them) to take hold.”

“The Seam (by Trae Horne and Moid Ali) transitions from the dunes of Lençóis Maranhenses in Brazil to the oasis of Queimada dos Britos, a community within the dunes. Using bamboo as green infrastructure and renewable building material, the Seam invests time in land regeneration. The proposed interventions, in tandem with native planting and bamboo, prevent further erosion and create a dormant dune. The Seam reclaims the land while giving building resources back to the community. Each year builds upon the last, learning by doing.”

“It’s a long shot, but it’s not frivolous,” said Henry H. Perritt Jr., the former dean of �糵����-Kent College of Law at Illinois Institute of Technology, where he is now professor emeritus. “The notion that the original venue is not suitable is not a shocking idea. It’s provided for in federal rules. If the defendant can show that the prejudice is so great in the original venue that the defendant cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial, then the judge must transfer it to another venue.”

“In Henrietta Lacks’s case, there were lots of benefits to the company which markets many versions of the cells—and no consent from her for their use,” said lawyer Lori Andrews of the �糵����-Kent College of Law. “But the Lacks family didn’t give money or other resources to researchers. ... The question remains whether giving tissue alone would be enough to win an unjust enrichment claim in court. That’s important because the key issue going forward in my mind is: When patients or their families bring such cases, what level of involvement is needed to be considered a benefit?”
