DESCRIPTION:UW Computational Neuroscience Center presents Neuroscience\, AI and Society lecture featuring Cory Doctorow\n\n\n\nThis talk is presented by the UW Computational Neuroscience Center as part of our Future Tense series\, hosting world-class speakers to discuss topics around themes of neuroscience\, AI and how society may roll with developments in these fields \nWriter Cory Doctorow will be speaking on: \nThe Reverse-Centaur’s Guide to Criticizing AI \nAI can’t do your job\, but an AI salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that fails to do your job. Being a smart AI critic requires that you distinguish between these two cases\, because otherwise\, you’re just gonna help that fast-talking sales person to put you on the breadline and screw over everyone who relies on your work. \nBio: Cory Doctorow (craphound.com) is a science fiction author\, activist\, and journalist. He is the author of dozens of books\, most recently ENSHITTIFICATION: WHY EVERYTHING SUDDENLY GOT WORSE AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT (nonfiction); and the novels PICKS AND SHOVELS and THE BEZZLE (followups to RED TEAM BLUES). Other notable books include the solarpunk novels WALKAWAY and THE LOST CAUSE; the tech policy books THE INTERNET CON and CHOKEPOINT CAPITALISM; and the internationally bestselling YA LITTLE BROTHER series; and the picture book POESY THE MONSTER SLAYER. He maintains a daily blog at Pluralistic.net. He works for the Electronic Frontier Foundation\, is an AD White Professor at Cornell University; an MIT Media Lab Research Affiliate; a Visiting Professor of Computer Science at Open University; a Visiting Professor of Practice at the University of North Carolina’s School of Library and Information Science. He co-founded the UK Open Rights Group. Born in Toronto\, Canada\, he now lives in Los Angeles. In 2020\, he was inducted into the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame. In 2022\, he earned the Sir Arthur Clarke Imagination in Service to Society Awardee for lifetime achievement.

SUMMARY:PNRI Science Matters Seminar: Omic-Driven Precision Care in South Africa
DESCRIPTION:Shahida Moosa\, MBBCh\, PhD of Tygerberg Hospital and Stellenbosch University will discuss the growing role of omics-driven precision care in South Africa\, and how these advances are transforming the landscape of rare disease diagnosis and management across the lifespan. Through the Undiagnosed Disease Programme\, recent work has demonstrated the power of integrating multiple layers of genomic technology: from exome and genome sequencing to long-read platforms and RNA sequencing\, to uncover the molecular basis of rare and previously undiagnosed conditions. In a setting as diverse and complex as South Africa\, where genetic variation is vast and healthcare resources constrained\, these tools do more than generate data: they create answers\, enable tailored care\, and provide long-awaited clarity for families who have spent years on a diagnostic odyssey.  Register today for FREE! \nPNRI Science Matters Seminars \nPNRI’s Science Matters free\, virtual seminars feature discussions with scientists around the globe about exciting research in genetics\, genomics\, and evolutionary biology with important societal impact. Topics include research on the genetics of ethnically diverse populations\, diseases afflicting vulnerable or underserved groups\, and efforts to expand the diversity (broadly defined) of research subjects or the scientific workforce.

SUMMARY:2025 Virtual Microbiome Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Join ISB on December 12\, 2025\, for a virtual symposium on the influence of gut microbial metabolites on human physiology. \n\n\n\nA Universe of Metabolites\n\nThe intestinal lumen represents a vast and underexplored ecosystem that harbors members of the gut microbiota and a universe of metabolites whose concentrations are dynamically regulated by both host and microbial activity. New classes of metabolites are continuously being unearthed\, accompanied by detailed characterization of their effects on host physiology. In this symposium\, we will hear from leading experts who will present their groundbreaking work on how specific microbial metabolites influence neural\, immune\, and endocrine systems. \nISB is hosting this symposium on December 12\, 2025. The intended audience is graduate students\, postdocs\, principal investigators\, industry scientists\, educators\, clinicians\, or any other variety of microbiome-curious person from across the globe. \nThe speakers include Drs. Brittany Needham\, June Round\, Giada De Palma\, Matthew Redinbo\, Matthew Carter\, and Melody Zeng! And don’t miss out on the panel discussion hosted by Drs. Sid Venkatesh and Sean Gibbons. \n \nRegister now!
