This spring I am teaching a new class at MIT called **How to AI (Almost) Anything** Its name is a play on 2 seminal MIT Media Lab courses: how to make almost anything (on design & fabrication) and how to grow almost anything (on synthetic biology) We are now in the AI age, and

Pitt to pause PhD admissions, following Vanderbilt and USC, because of uncertainty of NIH funding to academic universities. Who will teach and train US scientists for pharma and biotech? Should we import them from countries that do? wesa.fm/health-science…

German election results by age cohort. Young voters shifted massively to the far left (Linke) and to the far right (AfD). The established conservative (Union) and Labour (SPD) parties are but shadows of their former selves. Lesson for all establishment parties around the world:

NEW: updated long-run gap in voting between young men and women in Germany: The gender gap continues to widen, but contrary to what is often assumed, young men continue to vote roughly in line with the overall population, while young women have swung very sharply left.

Today, Jiří Horyna defends his PhD thesis🎓! We are honored to host Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heiko Hamann (Heiko Hamann) and Wolfgang Hönig 🤖 in Prague🇨🇿. The day was filled with insightful lectures on swarm robotics and multi-robot systems, followed by an engaging defense session. 🚀

We’re open-sourcing 352GB of Coral Reef pics (13 sites, 90k pics) from Indonesia under CC-BY-4.0 🌏🪸 3D photogrammetry data to accelerate research/conservation, no strings attached 🤗 🔵 Why? Coral reefs are so precious, beautiful, incredibly complex and threatened ecosystems.

A new Science #Robotics study describes BioPD—a control strategy that can mimic how zebrafish swim together and implement them in #autonomous #vehicles for coordinated movements. Iain Couzin scim.ag/435kWw9

“Bahawalpur.” I still have chills in my heart from when I first heard that town’s name in late January 2002. For the 23 years since, I have reported on how Pakistani intelligence and military leaders have used that city — Bahawalpur — in the southern province of Punjab as a base

This is what we have in Prague:

I am seeking 1-2 PhD students and 1-2 postdocs to work on theory in HCI, say, how the field uses theory, how to make theories more impactful in HCI, and how to develop better technology w theory. DL is June 9th, see shorturl.at/4FTkQ and shorturl.at/6DlA5. 🙏 🇩🇰🎓😃

Scientists have designed a control system based on fish schooling behaviors that can instruct autonomous robots to follow a leader through different trajectories without crashing. Learn more in Science Robotics: scim.ag/42FJE6f
