What lessons can we learn from past pandemics? Their research sheds light on the significant role that social inequalities play in determining the outcomes of a pandemic. Some of the hardest hit regions were the world’s remotest places, as they did not have access to medical care. Published: May 23, 2022.

When researchers visit the facility to capture images, they are supported by scientists, including research software engineers who help them process their data and access software. Once this is done, the CTC video footage will be accessible to artificial intelligence image analysis techniques. Scientific imaging in physics.

But it also highlights how significant our specifics—our particular history, biology, etc.—are. But by now there are endless examples of machine learning systems that do well at reproducing human judgement in lots of domains. It’s very much like with ChatGPT. In the past people might have said: “Computers can never show judgement”.

Should we think of it essentially as a practical tool for accessing existing methods, or does it provide something fundamentally new for science? My goal here is to explore and assess what AI can and can’t be expected to do in science. So now what do we mean by science, and by “doing science”?

And so it was that I set about running programs that I later learned were a simplified version of what had been called “cellular automata” before. Nothing I’ve learned in these 36 years has dulled the strength and beauty of rule 30 and those early discoveries about complexity. I began to think it was at least a big part of it.

At 15th Street Farm in Florida, USA, Emmanuel Roux and Professor David Himmelgreen run an education project to help local families learn about their local food systems and make healthier food choices. What do students learn? The outdoor learning results in greater student engagement and impacts human and environmental wellness.

Ed was someone who wanted to independently figure things out for himself, and delighted in presenting his often somewhat-outlandish conclusions—whether about technology, science, business or the world—with dramatic showman-like panache. He used to like to tell people I’d learned a lot from him. And Ed was now one of them.

In 1845 Kelvin (as we’ll call him) had spent some time in Paris (primarily at at a lab that was measuring properties of steam for the French government), and there he’d learned about Carnot’s work from Clapeyron’s paper (at first he couldn’t get a copy of Carnot’s actual book). But first we have to go back a bit in the story.

Students can explore whether a sphere is a 2D or 3D shape and learn how, to a topologist, a coffee cup is the same shape as a donut! Students explore what they can learn from traditional stories and write their own stories to educate others about their local environment. Geometry – Dr Sam Ballas is studying the geometry of surfaces.
