SUMMARY:(DSS Colloquium) Thomas Schmickl\, University of Graz\, Austria
DESCRIPTION:Data Science & Society (DSS) Colloquium Talk with Thomas Schmickl\, University of Graz\, Austria\, on Monday April 8 at 5PM in Rocky 300.  \nTitle: Can Robots Save Nature? \nAbstract: Our planet is on the brink of the 6th mass extinction\, as our ecosystems are rapidly losing both\ndiversity and biomass. As intra- and inter-specific interaction networks weaken\, ecosystems\nbecome increasingly unstable\, setting off on a downward trajectory along a deadly spiral. I\nexplore how robotic systems can play a crucial role in supporting ecosystems and communities.\nI will show three levels of agency and how a “tech for good” approach might be helpful to\nfight ecosystem decay: monitoring\, intervention and restoration. By mitigating ecosystem\ndecay\, robots may buy us precious time to address the root causes of environmental crises. I\nwill show innovative systems that we’ve developed over recent years — the initial strides toward going beyond mere animal-interaction systems by establishing eco-effective robotics. \nPoster Link: https://pages.vassar.edu/dss/files/2024/03/Schmickl.presentation.8April2024.pdf

SUMMARY:(DSS Event) Lens Media Lab\, Yale University
DESCRIPTION:Data Science & Society (DSS) Event with the Yale University Lens Media Lab on Tuesday April 9 with Thomas Schmickl\, University of Graz\, Austria\, on Monday April 8 (multiple times; see below). \nPlease join us at 5:30PM\, Tuesday\, April 9 in Taylor Hall Room 102. Paul Messier\, Kappy Mintie\, and Damon Crockett from the Lens Media Lab at Yale University will participate in a panel titled \n“Characterizing Twentieth-Century Photographic Papers: A Multidisciplinary Approach.” \nThe panel will describe how the Paperbase project was conceived\, the interdisciplinary work required to develop it\, and how it can be used by scholars interested in the history of photography. Each of the panelists\, who come from different disciplinary backgrounds\, will also describe how they came to work at the Lens Media Lab and how their specialized knowledge contributed to the production of Paperbase. \nThe panel will be followed by a hands-on demonstration of some of the Lens Media Lab’s data collection tools at 6:30 PM in the Taylor Hall Jade Room. \nVassar students have the chance to meet with the panelists to discuss data science\, art\, and photography\, among other topics\, between 12PM and 2PM on April 9 in College Center 240. Food will be provided. Students are directed to sign up at this link. \nThis event is sponsored by Vassar’s Data Science and Society initiative\, the Department of Art\, and the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center. \n \n
