Last year, the CI launched their Inside The Discovery Cloud speaker series to highlight exciting Computation Institute projects across all five of their research areas. This year, they are kicking off the series with a topic central to the CI mission: collaboration. Bringing together scientists from within and outside the CI who have worked together on projects in biology, climate change, molecular engineering, urban sensing, computer science, and more, the series will illustrate the brodening impact of computational methods and the power of partnerships between computational and domain scientists.
Future talks will take place on the 3rd Wednesday of each month in Searle 240, with lunch provided to all attendees. For the full schedule, see below. You can also view videos from the 2013-14 Inside The Discovery Cloud talks on the CI YouTube channel.
=====
Computation catalyzes collaboration, placing disciplines with their own jargon, practices, and culture on common digital ground and bringing new capabilities and perspectives to propel discovery. The primary mission of the Computation Institute -- a joint initiative of the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory -- is to advance and accelerate research across all fields. Partnerships between CI and domain scientists create pioneering and unique collaborations, investigating some of the largest scientific questions of our time: climate change, genetic medicine, global urbanization.
The CI’s 2014-15 Inside the Discovery Cloud speaker series will focus on these partnerships, presenting pairs of speakers who are working together to unlock new knowledge through computation. Hear about how new computational approaches are changing medicine, biology, social science, public policy, and more, and discover opportunities for new collaborations and student research projects.
