Human-Machine Teaming Through Spatial IntelligenceThe world is shared. Our understanding of it is not. Human-machine teaming depends on narrowing that gap.Humans and machines both perceive the world, form internal representations of it, and act based on those representations. Yet even when operating in the same environment, they do not necessarily share the same understanding. ...

Single Cells in Context: A Dyad View that Bridges Single-Cell and Spatial BiologySingle-cell sequencing has revolutionized cell atlases, but it is inherently context-poor: it catalogs cell states after dissociation, while many of the most important biological programs are relational: triggered by contact, proximity, or short-range signaling between specific partners. In this talk, I will present a dyad-centered framework and enabling technologies that ...

Walk with a NaturalistJoin Shelby Hendricks, group tour and family programs manager, for an observation-based exploration of works currently on view through the lenses of art and science.These cross-disciplinary tours invite visitors to engage with artworks in unexpected ways, bringing a more-than-human dimension to scientific ideas while deepening our emotional connection to the ...
Classical hypothesis testing frameworks break down in contemporary settings in which null hypotheses are increasingly abstract, the same data are used to both generate and test hypotheses, and minimal assumptions about the underlying data are made. In this work, we propose a new framework for conducting valid hypothesis tests in ...

Talk description: Augmented Reality is often talked about in terms of its potential, but what does it actually take to build it? This talk offers a candid, high-level look at the engineering challenges that make AR glasses hard, from power and thermals to silicon design, and what it means to ...
Each fall and winter, adult and sub-adult white sharks gather predictably around pinniped colonies along the Central California coast, giving researchers a rare, consistent window into their lives. That reliability has made this one of the longest running white shark study sites anywhere in the world.A team of researchers from ...
