Emma is a 3-time Carnegie Hall Performer, MIT Solver, and the youngest participant of the White House’s Opportunity Project. But before that, she was a Technovation Girl. She invented an app called Timeless to help Alzheimer's and dementia patients stay connected to their loved ones. Her project won her first place in 2015 and has gotten the attention of media around the world including Fast Company, Inc. Magazine, BBC and it went on to win the MIT-Solve Brain Health Challenge in 2017. Her creativity and passion for music and languages (she speaks 3 and is learning 2 more!) contribute to her successes in computer science. Emma’s journey shows you don't have to be just one thing - Technovation helps cultivate skills that translate to innovation in the real world.

Alan Turing was a renowned mathematician, computer scientist, and logician who made significant contributions to the field of artificial intelligence and modern computing. He is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. Turing played a crucial role in breaking the German Enigma code during World War II, which greatly aided the Allies in their efforts. His work laid the foundation for the development of the modern computer and his concepts are still widely used in the field of computer science today. Turing's legacy continues to inspire generations of scientists and researchers in the field of computing. 🖥️ 🖥️ 🖥️ 🖥️ 🖥️ #scientistsofdiversity #LGBTQAI+inSTEM #inclusivescience #diversityintech #rainbowscientists #techinclusion #queerSTEM #diverseinnovators #prideinscience #computingforall

Published Author, "Your Child Learns Differently, Now What?" Education Equity in Action Forum/ CEO BrainWare Learning, Practical application of neuroscience "Making People Smarter" (TM) through the "Science of Learning".
Exciting new research reveals how our brains prioritize learning from those we like, shaping memory integration! Experiments with everyday objects show that our feelings toward information providers significantly impact our ability to connect and infer new information. This selective memory integration affects perceptions and beliefs, hinting at an inherent bias in information assimilation. These findings underscore the influence of personal preferences in learning and raise concerns about reinforcing societal polarization. https://lnkd.in/eX_iy-W8 #MemoryIntegration #BrainResearch #SocialCognition #CognitiveScience #InformationAssimilation #SelectiveMemory #PersonalPreferences #SocietalPolarization #ResearchInsights #LearningBias

A revolution in brain-imaging technology provides sufficient data to prove that collective intelligence and its power to change our lives is not just a wishful thinking. As abstract as it could sound, today’s neuroscience can measure electrical oscillations between people’s brains and illustrate how they synchronize when engaged in a communal activity. Joined-Up Thinking - a recent book by Hannah Critchlow https://lnkd.in/gTkbrK95 suggests that collective intelligence flourishes in certain conditions. 🧠 ❤️ 🤝 Real-world contact between people in the context of technology has a fundamental implication - a cultural evolution - as a consequence of new kinds of groups being established in unprecedented environments our genes can be superseded! In simple terms, while the brains of our students will differ from the ones of their professors, it is the way they will utilize the oportunities to organize themselves, connect and learn from each other that will become key to their success. It is almost as if we are all becoming a new species. Harnessing a huge amount of cognitive capacity to handle all the challenges of the future together. Or have you thought you could do it alone? #brain #connection #evolution

🌐 Exploring the Ethical Frontiers of Neuroscience and Technology 🧠💻 The recent advancements discussed in the article shed light on a groundbreaking but ethically contentious intersection of neuroscience and technology. The integration of human brain cells with microprocessors for speech recognition purposes offers a glimpse into a future where the boundaries between man and machine blur in unprecedented ways. While the scientific implications are profound, we cannot ignore the grotesque reality of lab-grown brains, disembodied from their human hosts, and connected to microprocessors. This raises a myriad of ethical and moral questions that demand our attention and thoughtful consideration. Are we on the brink of crossing ethical boundaries that were once thought to be inviolable? What are the implications for consciousness, autonomy, and the sanctity of life? How do we navigate the complex terrain of ethics when the very essence of what it means to be human is at stake? As we marvel at the wonders of technological progress, we must also pause to reflect on the ethical implications and ensure that our pursuit of knowledge and innovation is guided by a deep respect for humanity and our shared values. Let us engage in meaningful dialogue and thoughtful discourse to navigate these uncharted waters responsibly. https://lnkd.in/gxARtanC #Neuroethics #TechnologyEthics #FutureOfScience #LabGrownBrains

🚀 Launching Today: Science Lens On this day in 1936, a 24-year-old mathematical genius named Alan Turing submitted a paper that would forever change the course of science and technology. His groundbreaking work, "On Computable Numbers," introduced the world to the concept of the Turing machine – a simple, yet profound model that laid the foundations for computer science and our understanding of computation. Just as Newton's laws provided a unifying framework for the physical world, Turing's work gave us a rigorous way to explore the limits of what can be computed, shaping fields from cryptography to artificial intelligence. Today, 88 years later, we proudly launch Science Lens – a global community of top science leaders who share a common purpose to solve a crisis of science. Are you one of the world's Top Scientists? Join us now! #Science #Research #STEM #Innovation #TopScientists #Academia #ScienceLens

Do you consider yourself to be a curious person? Fidelity Center for Applied Technology®(FCAT) interviewed the authors of Curious Minds: The Power of Connection about their research into how curiosity manifests and how we can all improve the practice of curiosity in our own lives. In their research, they identified three different styles of curiosity: the busybody, the hunter, and the dancer. Find out which style you identify most closely with. #FidelityAssociate
