日本語の説明は下記にございます！Every month, we gather some smart speakers and a curious crowd, add a bar, and create something unique. This month, we’re exploring the intersection of biology and computing with talks on fascinating ferns and Nobel-winning neural networks! And, as always, we will have cafe food and craft beer on tap.
First, Joel Nitta will explain why ferns are so fascinating and how he has been using methods adapted from open source software and data science to better understand their ecology and evolution. Then, Louis Kang will give us a guided tour of the neural network research that led to the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics: work that gave us insight into both biological and artificial brains and underpins today’s artificial intelligence.
Drinks (both alcoholic and non) as well as food will be available. Check out the menu on our homepage and come early; we’re opening the doors at 7 PM. Drink, meet, and be square-y! Kids are also welcome at Nerd Nite.
