What does it mean to reshape human-AI collaboration for scientific discovery? And what does it take? 👩🔬 🔬 🤖 Well — the Scientific Artificial Intelligence (SciAI) Center, in partnership with Pasteur Labs & ISI, is committed to finding out! The SciAI Center is stacked: launched by Cornell Engineering with funding from the Office of Naval Research, members also include 50 faculty members, postdocs, and doctoral students at UC Berkeley, Brown, CalTech, U. of Cambridge, UC Santa Cruz, the United States Naval Academy (BEAT ARMY!) — and now Pasteur Labs! (Side note: A summer internship at the SciAI Center is now an option for USNA midshipmen. So jealous!!)

We have the team, we have a vision, and we have a plan... It doesn't look like much yet but work has started to transform our main U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) Department of Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences teaching classrooms into Interactive Learning Spaces and multi-purpose teaching laboratories. The Interactive Learning Space concept is a shared brain-child with Alexander Davies. We are a data-driven, hands-on academic program that thrives on collaboration and project-based learning. Our new Interactive Learning Spaces and multi-purpose teaching labs are designed to foster interactive, hands-on group learning. Renovations will continue through 2025 with the bulk of our transformation coming next summer. These changes and future, planned and proposed changes to our field-based laboratory facilities, major instrumentation, and at-sea platform capabilites will enable the USNA Department of Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences to remain at the forefront of undergraduate education in Oceanography, Meteorology, and Climate Science. They will allow us to continue to train future leaders for the Navy and Marine Corps that have a detailed understanding and awareness of the present and potential future air-sea operational domains. The future of the USNA Department of Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences is bright.

🚤 Exciting times ahead at the Artificial Intelligence Maritime Maneuver Indiana Collegiate Challenge this Friday and Saturday at Pokagon State Park! 🚤 This groundbreaking event, a collaboration between the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, the Office of Naval Research, and Trine University - a partnership facilitated by Office of Congressman Jim Banks - showcases the remarkable talent of students from six Indiana universities: Indiana University Bloomington, Purdue University Fort Wayne, Purdue University, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and University of Notre Dame. These bright minds are not just competing; they're innovating for our nation's future in maritime defense. The challenge involves transforming student-built, low-profile marine vessels into fully autonomous vehicles capable of navigating complex obstacle courses. This hands-on experience equips our students with critical technical skills, applicable in both commercial and defense sectors. 🔗 Brooke Pyne's op-ed on the competition discusses why initiatives like this are crucial for maintaining national security, propelling technological advancements, and workforce development. Our team at the Applied Research Institute is proud to support and sponsor such transformative opportunities, nurturing the next generation of defense leaders and innovators. 🏆 Join us in cheering for these students and exploring potential career opportunities at the defense industry job fair. #Innovation #DefenseIndustry #AutonomousTechnology #IndianaUniversities #FutureLeaders #NationalSecurity https://lnkd.in/eBCArv8w

I'm so pleased that after four incredible years, Allison Lucas will defend her Ph.D. dissertation in Organizational Communication and Urban Sustainability, on July 15. Post-dissertation, Allie will extend this work through her new position at New York-based CIV:LAB, where she will continue helping entrepreneurs in the climate and sustainability space in "the real world." 🙌 🎓 🎉 Here's a summary of her dissertation abstract: As the world faces the ongoing and intensifying impacts of climate change, a group of innovative changemakers known as climate tech entrepreneurs (CTEs) are working on climate adaptation, mitigation, and/or resilience efforts by bringing innovative technologies to the global market. CTEs require external funding support, especially during a crucial period of the start-up lifecycle known as the “valley of death” between development and commercialization. Venture capital investors (VCs), a critical source of funding in this period, are of particular importance to CTEs given their role as de facto gatekeepers for climate technologies into the marketplace. This study adopts a process view of entrepreneurship to explore the dynamics of relationship building and tension management to understand how CTEs engage in compliance gaining with VCs. In-depth, semi-structured interviews with 21 CTEs provided the data for this qualitative study. Findings highlight the variety of resource, identity, relational, and impact-related goals of CTEs. The plans they generate and the actions they implement in pursuit of these goals come together to form a matrix of communicative actions, such that the Goals-Plans-Actions process is recursive and dynamic. Additionally, throughout this process, a variety of tensions become salient, which are framed by CTEs as contradictions, complementary dialectics or double binds, and managed via a typology of tension management techniques. I hope you're able to join us for the public portion of Allie's dissertation defense, either in-person or via Zoom. #climatetech #sustainability #entrepreneurship #climatetechentrepreneurs #organizationalcommunication #communicationmatters

Are you missing Science Twitter? OASIS is trying to become of source for training material for "How Air-Sea Interactions Work" and why it is important. Any level from K-12 to postgraduate welcome, particularly for Learners from Small Island Developing States and Big Ocean States! Let it rip! OASIS will repost. Be sure to credit original source!

How do we as a society unleash the creativity and innovation of our diverse population? We are doing it on some levels - NSF, DARPA, XPRIZE, Thiel fellowship, MacArthur fellowship. Etc.. How do we build upon and expand this??? Thought provoking post. Worth the read. For more thought provoking posts like this subscribe to Garden of Forking Paths rain Klaas Substack
