SUMMARY:Meet A Data Scientist Lecture Series Presents Amanda Myers 4/28
DESCRIPTION:The Meet a Data Scientist series is a chance to get up close and personal with top-level data science professionals. Join us for a talk with Dr. Amanda Myers\, Principal Investigator of the Laboratory for Functional Neurogenomics\, with co-appointments in the Division of Neuroscience\, the Department of Human Genetics and Genomics\, and the Center on Aging.  \nTALK TITLE:  The Human Brainome: Genome\, Transcriptome\, Proteome and Phenome Interaction in Human Cortex \nDr. Myers’ hypothesis is that changes in gene and protein expression are crucial to the development of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Previously she examined how DNA alleles control the downstream expression of RNA transcripts and how those relationships are changed in late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Myers has examined how proteins are incorporated into networks in two separate series and evaluated her outputs in two different cell lines. This lecture will present both the data pipeline as well as the outcomes from these studies. At the conclusion of this discussion\, participants will be able to interpret the concepts behind expression quantitative trait loci analysis\, compare the differences between single-target eQTL and network effects analysis\, and describe new Alzheimer’s risk targets and the evidence for their nomination. \nRegister Now |  Thursday\, April 28\, 4:00-5:00 PM via Zoom\n  \nAbout Meet a Data Scientist \nThe Meet a Data Scientist Lecture Series is a chance to get up-close and personal with top-level experts in a wide variety of fields that use data science.  The purpose of this series is to introduce the people behind the data\, their lives\, interests\, career choices\, their work\, and their passion for how they use data to solve grand challenges in their respective fields.  Join us as we peer behind the curtain and meet the data scientists behind the data! This lecture series is co-sponsored by the Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) and is free and open to the public. \n  \nAbout Amanda \nDr. Amanda Myers has been studying neuroscience since 1993 and human neurogenetics since 1995. \nShe received her PhD (“The search for novel loci involved in late onset Alzheimer’s disease”) from Washington University in St Louis in May of 2002. While at Washington University\, she won a John Merlie Fellowship\, an Alzheimer’s Disease Director’s Education Award\, and was a finalist for the O’Leary Prize for outstanding research in neuroscience. \nShe performed her postdoctoral fellowship in the Laboratory of Neurogenetics at the National Institute of Health under the supervision of Dr. John Hardy and was funded by the National Academy of Sciences during that time. She was nominated for a distinguished mentor award during her postdoctoral work. \nDr. Myers has received support from the National Institute on Aging\, the National Institute of Mental Health\, the National Institute of Neurologic Disorders and Stroke\, and the State of Florida. Her current research involved looking at transcript and protein expression in the cortex and how that is potentially controlled by DNA variants both in normal and Alzheimer’s disease brains. \n  \nDisclosure:  Dr. Myers has indicated that she has no relevant financial relationship with commercial interests.

SUMMARY:The Fiction Science of AI: Sheldon Brown Data Citizens Lecture 3/11
DESCRIPTION:Data Citizens is a series of in-depth talks by experts in the field of data science on a wide variety of topics including data visualization\, big data\, artificial intelligence\, and predictive analytics.  Join us on March 11 as we welcome Sheldon Brown for a talk on AI. \nTALK TITLE: The Fiction Science of AI | REGISTER NOW  \n“AI is a cultural conception formed at the intersection of the arts\, engineering\, philosophy\, and science. The interplay of these different areas of human cultural activity push and pull our expectations and directions for the development of AI and its deployment in society at large. As we venture forward with these deployments\, AI also encounters business\, ethics\, politics\, and the law. We are moving into a new phase of feedback loops between the imagination of AI and its reification. Designers and artists working with AI face the challenge to integrate it positively into real life\, informing ideas around what AI means for our human selves and for the profound transformation of our broader social systems. \nHow can we develop an aesthetic of AI that is accessible and open\, moving from obscure and technical black boxes? This talk explores the application of AI in art and design while also raising the complex issues of who we are becoming in the process of inventing it. In this lecture\, Sheldon Brown will look at how some of the factors have gotten us to this point and posit some productive provocations for the near-term future of the field.” \n“I’m an artist—I work across a lots of forms and mediums but underlying that there’s always been computation.” \nSheldon Brown is an academic\, entrepreneur\, computer scientist\, and artist. He is currently Co-Founder and Vice President of Product Design and Innovation at Virbela\, a virtual world company spun out of his lab at UC San Diego where he was Professor and MacArthur Foundation Endowed Chair in Digitial Media and Learning. He was the founding Director of the Arthur C. Clarke for Human Imagination\, Director of the UCSD branch of the Center for Hybrid Multicore Productivity Research\, and co-founder of the California Institute of Telecommunications and Information Technologies (Calit 2). He went on to help launch the Creative Computing Institute at the University of the Arts in London as Professor and Research Leader. He has also been Visiting Professor at NYU Shanghai and Honorary Professor at Shanghai University. His multi-media artworks have been commissioned and exhibited at museums around the world. \n \n  \nQuote above taken from this lecture: “Agencies of Art and Audience” . . . \n \n\nThe next speaker in the Data Citizens: A Distinguished Lecture Series will be Danica Marinac Dabic on April 8\, 2021 \n
