What makes someones face memorable—or forgettable? The University of Chicago 2024-06-18 | Research by UChicago psychologist Wilma Bainbridge reveals why it might not be what you think. Listen to Big Brains to learn more about her innovative work on memorability. http://ms.spr.ly/6055Y0VGd
How trustworthy is our own memory? With UChicago psychologist Wilma Bainbridge The University of Chicago 2024-06-13 | There is a science to what we remember and what we don't. For instance, why do we remember certain pieces of artwork, some brands’ logos, or even people's faces? University of Chicago psychologist Wilma Bainbridge has been studying what makes things memorable for over a decade. Through her research, she has found that there is a common thread about what most people remember—and even what we remember incorrectly (a phenomenon called the Mandela effect)—but most recently, why some visuals are intrinsically more memorable.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.0:00 - Introduction to Wilma Bainbridge and the Mandela Effect1:30 - Example of the Mandela Effect: The Monopoly Man3:15 - Scientific Research of the Mandela Effect5:00 - Memory and Memorability Research at UChicago6:45 - Development of the ResMem AI Tool8:30 - Memory Representation in the Brain11:00 - Inherent Memorability of Images13:00 - Memorability Across Faces16:00 - Implications for Education and Medicine18:30 - False Memories and the Criminal Justice System20:45 - AI and Memory Applications

Learning To Speak To Whales Using AI, with David Gruber The University of Chicago 2024-05-30 | If aliens landed on Earth tomorrow, how would we talk with them? Well, we already have a kind of creature on this planet we could attempt to talk to first, and in the last few years a team of renowned scientists have been exploring the ocean studying sperm whales to get that conversation going.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.

Since 2013, there have been 5 hurricanes that exceeded the scale measuring a storms wind speed. The University of Chicago 2024-05-21 | On Big Brains, scientist Michael Wehner at the Berkeley Lab explains that with climate change, our future may include more Category 6 hurricanes.
Storm Warning: Why Hurricanes Are Growing Beyond Measure, with Michael Wehner The University of Chicago 2024-05-16 | We all know that extreme weather events like hurricanes are getting worse due to climate change, but what scientists would really like to know is: By how much worse exactly? This year a team of researchers argued that hurricanes have become so much more extreme due to climate change that we need to add a new category 6 to the Saffir-Simpson scale, which measures the wind speed of hurricanes.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.Big Brains is sponsored by the Graham School for Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies (https://graham.uchicago.edu) .00:00 The Escalating Impact of Climate Change on Extreme Weather00:52 Introducing Michael Wehner: A Pioneer in Climate Modeling02:05 The Case for a Category 6 Hurricane09:28 Inside the Eye of a Super Typhoon: The Reality of Category 6 Storms12:06 The Science Behind Hurricanes and Climate Change13:38 The Real Danger: Beyond Wind Speeds in Hurricane Impact17:39 End to End Attribution: Calculating the True Cost of Climate Change21:31 The Uninsurable Future: Climate Change and Insurance Costs25:10 Adapting to Climate Change: The Path Forward27:13 Closing Thoughts and Resources

77th annual Latke Hamantash Debate (spring 2024), presented by UChicago Hillel. The University of Chicago 2024-05-13 | The Latke-Hamantash Debate has been a cherished UChicago tradition since 1946, rigorously questioning the merits of the festive foodstuffs of Hanukkah and Purim. 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.

Why We Die—And How We Can Live Longer, with Nobel Laureate Venki Ramakrishnan The University of Chicago 2024-04-18 | They’re perhaps the oldest questions in the science: Why do we die? And could we find a way to live forever? But for decades, anti-aging research was a “backwater” of the scientific community, consider too fanciful and unrealistic. That is until the last few years. Modern advances in biology have taught us a lot about how we age and why we die—could that knowledge help us turn back the clock?In his new book, “Why We Die: The New Science of Ageing and the Quest for Immortality (harpercollins.com/products/why-we-die-venki-ramakrishnan?variant=41074404098082) ”, Nobel Prize-winning scientist Venki Ramakrishnan delves into the latest science of aging and investigates the nearly $30 billion dollar longevity industry to separate fact from fiction in our modern quest for immortality.00:00 The Eternal Quest: Understanding Aging and Mortality00:49 The Science of Aging: Breakthroughs and Possibilities05:51 The DNA Dilemma: Damage, Repair, and Aging12:45 Exploring Anti-Aging: Telomeres, Stress, and Longevity17:49 Stem Cells and Rejuvenation: The Frontier of Aging Research21:06 Caloric Restriction and Rapamycin: Pathways to Longer Life25:09 The Dracula Theory: Young Blood and Aging28:01 Practical Advice for a Longer, Healthier Life30:26 Ethical Considerations in the Age of Longevity31:56 Closing Thoughts and Future Directions

What Dogs Are Teaching Us About Aging, with Daniel Promislow The University of Chicago 2024-04-04 | Every dog owner has faced the hard realization that their dog won’t live as long as they do, but we’ve all probably wondered: Why do some dogs live longer than others? It turns out that several factors are at play, according to the largest research study of dogs, known as The Dog Aging Project.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.Link to the advertised Chicago Booth Review Podcast: https://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/podcast?source=cbr-sn-bbr-camp:podcast24-20240404 (urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.chicagobooth.edu/review/podcast?source=cbr-sn-bbr-camp:podcast24-20240404__;!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!978kRSlYqTP0T_3nZm71SxSdzH2ADUgCP6P4BPMl2IYSA-RzuOs-3BhLiod8HfR8CKpkZnKPY7xVPtOsSeMToEumthfLSlwasVs$) Big Brains is sponsored by the Graham School for Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies (https://graham.uchicago.edu) .

Where Has Alzheimer’s Research Gone Wrong? with Karl Herrup The University of Chicago 2024-03-21 | For more than a century, scientists have been studying Alzheimer’s disease and developing theories about its underlying cause. The leading theory for decades has been that abnormal amyloid plaques in the brains of those who suffer from the disease are the central cause. But, according one renowned Alzheimer’s researcher, this myopic focus is not only flawed, but may be holding back our search for a cure. 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.Big Brains is sponsored by the Graham School for Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies (https://graham.uchicago.edu) .

Why Breeding Millions of Mosquitoes Could Help Save Lives The University of Chicago 2024-03-07 | Mosquito-borne diseases are one of the greatest global health threats, infecting around 700 million people every year with Zika virus, dengue fever, malaria and yellow fever — which can all be deadly if left untreated. Unfortunately, the mosquito population is not slowing down, and factors like climate change and increased global travel are broadening the mosquito's range. The effort to stop the mosquito is not an easy task; insecticides and vaccines can't completely stop the spread of these diseases. But instead of trying to kill mosquitoes, one nonprofit is taking a unique approach.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.Link to the advertised Chicago Booth Review Podcast: https://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/podcast?source=cbr-sn-bbr-camp:podcast24-20240307 (urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.chicagobooth.edu/review/podcast?source=cbr-sn-bbr-camp:podcast24-20240307__;!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!978kRSlYqTP0T_3nZm71SxSdzH2ADUgCP6P4BPMl2IYSA-RzuOs-3BhLiod8HfR8CKpkZnKPY7xVPtOsSeMToEumthfL2ScXuZU$)00:00 Introduction to the Leadership and Society Initiative00:37 The Growing Threat of Mosquitoes01:13 The Global Impact of Mosquito-Borne Diseases01:45 The Increasing Threat of Dengue Fever03:01 The Challenges of Mosquito Control03:24 The World Mosquito Program's Innovative Solution04:15 Big Brains Podcast Introduction04:42 Understanding Mosquitoes and Disease Transmission06:48 The Impact of Human Actions on Mosquito Populations09:15 The Devastating Effects of Dengue Fever12:35 The Role of Wolbachia in Disease Control20:53 The World Mosquito Program's Global Impact25:04 The Challenges and Future of the World Mosquito Program30:18 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Why Shaming Other Countries Often Backfires, with Rochelle Terman The University of Chicago 2024-02-22 | How do you stop a government from continuing to commit human rights abuses? You could take them to an international court of justice, or file a complaint at the UN. But none of those bodies have any enforcement power. Short of going to war, the only option on the table in most international situations is to name and shame. But is that strategy effective?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.Link to the advertised Chicago Booth Review Podcast: https://www.chicagobooth.edu/review/podcast?source=cbr-sn-bbr-camp:podcast24-20240222 (urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.chicagobooth.edu/review/podcast?source=cbr-sn-bbr-camp:podcast24-20240222__;!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!978kRSlYqTP0T_3nZm71SxSdzH2ADUgCP6P4BPMl2IYSA-RzuOs-3BhLiod8HfR8CKpkZnKPY7xVPtOsSeMToEumthfL_NPhz-0$)
