- 5:30 PM2hCarl Zimmer: Is Artificial Intelligence Going To Figure Out Life Itself?Join award-winning science journalist Carl Zimmer for a discussion on AI at Florida Atlantic University. Carl Zimmer is a columnist for The New York Times and an expert on topics ranging from evolution to pandemics to brain-mapping. He is the author of fifteen widely praised books and is a regular contributor to magazines including National Geographic and The Atlantic.About the TalkArtificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a part of our everyday lives, from planning vacations to editing photos. But biologists are using the same underlying software to explore some of the deepest mysteries of life. These foundation models, as they're called, can learn by themselves how proteins fold into their intricately complex structures. They can make up new proteins from scratch. Even more ambitiously, foundation models are making sense of how thousands of genes work together inside our cells to keep us alive. In a few weeks, computers can analyze data from millions of cells and teach themselves some of the most fundamental principles of biology. What will they discover next? And will they put biologists out of a job? In this talk, Carl Zimmer draws on his reporting for the New York Times and in books like Life Itself to take his audience on a mind-bending trip into the not-so-distant future, when computers can discover how to make new kinds of cells, and maybe new kinds of life.Schedule of Events5:30-6:30: Lecture6:30-7:30: Reception, with books for sale in lobbyThe Nat and Dorothy Hyman Science Lecture Series in the Florida Atlantic Charles E.

This led to Hale joining a group that made weekly visits into death row to spend time with the men imprisoned there. His book interweaves thestories of these men, including acknowledging the worst of their crimes, with the story of these visits.A moving excerpt from the book, of death row prisoner Terry Lynn King's letters, can be found in Harper's and samples of Steven Hale's journalism can be found on his website.The reading will take place Thursday November 21, at 7:00 p.m. in Grand Palm Room 3 in the Student Union.A selection of work from Don't Shake the Spoon will also be read.And refreshments will be provided.
