Enter the mystical and magical world of Artificial Intelligence at this event 📚 Join us on December 4 for a compelling discussion on #AI - featuring Dr. Alok Aggarwal of Scry AI, in part of the Tata Knowledge Series on AI & Society. We'll explore science behind #AI and Dr. Aggarwal's new book - The Fourth Industrial Revolution & 100 Years of AI (1950-2050): The Truth About AI & Why It's Only a Tool. Dr. Alok Aggarwal – one of the early innovators and developers in this field sets out to demystify #AI by explaining its history, capabilities, and limitations. Aggarwal will explain the science and engineering behind AI in non-technical terms, making this an accessible discussion for a diverse audience! Don't miss it! Register now: https://lnkd.in/deAg-YRs

Two weeks away!📢 1 in 5 adults in the United States is facing a mental health challenge, highlighting the growing importance of developing skills to recognize, understand, and address signs of mental health issues in adults. Join us on November 12 for Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) - an interactive full-day training program designed to help individuals identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health issues and substance use disorders in adults. Similar to First Aid and CPR training, MHFA can allow STEM students, educators, and professionals to assist their students, peers, and colleagues who may be experiencing an acute mental health issue.

Today, on the United Nations International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, we call for a renewed focus on disaster diplomacy and collaboration. This year has seen record-breaking disasters—floods, wildfires, hurricanes, and heatwaves worldwide. Here in New York, we are especially concerned about the impact and distress caused by hurricanes in southern states, affecting many of our loved ones. As crises grow more interconnected with climate change, health emergencies, and geopolitical tensions crossing borders, collaboration is essential. The International Science Reserve is committed to ensuring scientific cooperation in these times of crisis. Our network of 15,000+ members across 100+ countries work to help stakeholders understand disaster risk, strengthen the ability of leaders to manage it, and make the case for investing in disaster risk reduction. Join our Digital Hub to discuss hurricane preparedness, response, and recovery, and share a special #IDDR badge to raise awareness: https://lnkd.in/edzxKatF
