Bainbridge directs the Brain Bridge Lab, where her team has created a machine learning model called ResMem, which can predict the memorability of faces, artwork and more. They have tested their AI tool in real-life settings, like the Art Institute of Chicago, with hopes that similar memorability tools could be used in educational settings, criminal justice, science and medicine.

David Gruber is a professor of biology and environmental science at CUNY and the founder of Project CETI (projectceti.org) , an interdisciplinary scientific initiative that is using the latest developments in AI to understand, and possibly communicate with, sperm whales. The day when we break the cross-species communication barrier may be here sooner than you think. Just this year CETI managed to decode what could be called a sperm whale “alphabet”.

One of those scientists was Michael Wehner from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Using the latest and fastest computers to model how a warming world is reshaping extreme weather events, Wehner is leading a new realm of climate modeling called "end-to-end attribution." This would allow us to not only understand how much worse disastrous weather is becoming but even quantify that difference in terms of damage and destruction.

For the past 77, years, the Latke-Hamantash Debate has reveled in ornate silliness while featuring prominent faculty, Nobel laureates and UChicago presidents. The tongue-in-cheek proceedings have inspired similar debates across the country, and even a book published by the University of Chicago Press.
In 2024, members of the University of Chicago community argued for the superiority of potato pancakes versus cookies—this time, by asking the question “Can Artificial Intelligence through chat GPT answer the question once and for all?” The March 24 event, hosted by the University of Chicago Hillel, took place in Mandel Hall.
Presenters included Borja Sotomayor, who teaches computer science, software development, computer networks, and distributed systems; Terry Johnson, who teaches courses in Molecular Engineering; and Professor Peggy Mason, who teaches courses on Neurobiology and leading a research laboratory. Rabbi Anna Rosen moderated the debate.

Delivered on April 2, 2024, at Friedman Hall, Rubenstein Forum. Lear's talk, titled "Gratitude, Mourning, Hope and Other Forms of Thought," explored the complexities of expressing gratitude. Lear is a distinguished scholar of philosophy and ethics, and his research examines how we make sense of who we are and our ethical obligations to each other. The Ryerson Lectures originated through a bequest from Nora and Edward Ryerson.

Prof. Daniel Promislow of the University of Washington is co-director of the project, which examines how biology, lifestyle and environment can increase both the health and lifespan of more than 50,000 dogs. We spoke with Promislow about whether we can help our dogs live longer—and what their research could actually teach humans about aging.

Neurobiologist Karl Herrup argues that we need to go back to the drawing board, redefine the disease and understand the many factors that could cause it before we can race for a cure. A professor of neurobiology and an investigator in the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Herrup is the author of How Not to Study a Disease: The Story of Alzheimer’s.

Scientist Scott O'Neill is founder and CEO of the World Mosquito Program, a nonprofit group with the goal of eliminating mosquito-borne diseases. The program is implementing a new method of inoculating the wild population of mosquitoes with a bacteria called Wolbachia, which is resistant to diseases. So far, the program has been rolled out in countries like Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Australia and Mexico – and has already seen success in reducing rates of disease.

On January 23, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced it is keeping the Doomsday Clock, which tracks existential threats to humankind, set at 90 seconds to midnight, the latest setting in the Clock’s history. President and CEO Rachel Bronson and Daniel Holz, UChicago professor and cochair of the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board, discuss why they kept the current time and how we can turn back the hands of the Clock.

In her new book, “The Geopolitics of Shaming: When Human Rights Pressure Works and When It Backfires (https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691250472/the-geopolitics-of-shaming) ,” University of Chicago political scientist Rochelle Terman argues that there is a real dilemma to international human rights pressure: Shaming is most common in situations where it is least likely to be effective; and, most troublingly, it can often make human rights abuses worse.
