This seminar series will introduce participants to groundbreaking work being done in the worlds of science and medicine. A series of local scientists will share their stories and facilitate interactive discussions on a broad range of interdisciplinary research topics and their various implications. These speakers have experience in both academia and industry, some conducting basic research and others doing more translational work. Past topics have included: developing new therapeutic antibodies in cancer, finding solutions to bacterial drug resistance, explaining the science of climate change, debunking computer processing speed mysteries, applying artificial intelligence in medicine, and using narrative medicine for patients with limited English proficiency. No prior knowledge is required, and each two-hour session will provide plenty of time to listen, learn, discuss, and ask questions. Participants should prepare to engage in meaningful conversation about exciting science!
