Science in the News

In this seminar series, you will learn about current work being done to impact the future of science and medicine. Local scientists will share their stories and facilitate interactive discussions spanning a broad range of interdisciplinary research. You will hear from a wide variety of speakers with experience in both academia and industry who are conducting basic research or doing more translational work. Get ready to engage in meaningful conversation about exciting science! Past topics have included: new types of cancer therapies, malarial and bacterial drug resistance, the science of climate change, using diamonds as tiny quantum sensors, artificial intelligence for analyzing pediatric brain tumor images, debunking computer processing speed mysteries, 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.
