I will describe several of our team’s previous and ongoing projects to examine dynamics and submesoscale processes through deep learning analysis of remote sensing datasets and ocean general circulation model (OGCM) outputs. By learning the fundamental patterns of sea surface temperature (SST) at scales of ~1 to 100km, we have ...
Like thoroughly scientific alchemists, nuclear chemists work to create elements that don’t exist naturally on Earth. These new super-heavy atoms could be long-lived, residing on proton-packed islands of stability off the far end of the periodic table. What new elements have most recently been added to the periodic table? How ...
Science Journal for Kids and Teens aims to make scientific research discoveries more accessible to a general audience and particularly to children. Students can have a hard time conceptualizing what scientific researchers do and how they communicate their findings. And many teachers, especially K-12, do not have adequate research backgrounds ...

As modern AI-powered and real-time applications grow, they increasingly rely on complex event-driven infrastructure. This session explores practical lessons learned from operating large-scale messaging and distributed systems in production. We will dive into the critical trade-offs regarding reliability, scalability, and observability in asynchronous environments, and discuss how architectural decisions compound ...
