Wonderfest: Ask a Science Envoy: A.I., Plants, & Magnetic Mysteries

Wonderfest Science Envoys are early-career researchers with special communication skills and aspirations. Following short talks on provocative modern science topics, these three Science Envoys will answer your questions with insight and enthusiasm:

• UC Berkeley's Dylan Hadfield-Menell on "What AI Researchers Can Learn from King Midas" - How do we build artificially intelligence systems that reliably do what we intend?
• Stanford's Therese LaRue on "The Plant's Ability to Survive" - How are plants so resilient to changes in their environments?
• UC Berkeley's Thomas Mittiga on "Magnetic Micro Mysteries" - How do we use artificial atoms to achieve technological breakthroughs and to understand exotic materials?
