In teaching, the implicit bias, automatic thoughts, views, or judgments we may have about students can deprive them of opportunities and learning experiences. Implicit bias develops over a lifetime and is described as attitudes or stereotypes that affect our judgements or assessments of others (NEA Center for Social Justice, 2021).

Talk like a geographic information systems expert Cartography — map making Environmental justice — ensuring equitable access to the environment for all people. I also teach GIS and data science classes, all with a geophysical component, and conduct research in these topics. I was an autistic, queer kid in Texas and I didn’t fit in.

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”?

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences. Her teachers pushed her into the “easier” path of social sciences rather than encourage her interest in STEM subjects. And throughout my sort of high school experience, I’d been, you know, passionate about social sciences.

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. There are exciting—and surprising—things.

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 indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. As a practical matter, thermodynamics in its basic equilibrium form nevertheless became very widely used in engineering and in chemistry. 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.
