    Carney Lunch Talk

     

    Thomas Sgouros

    Research Associate

    Department of Computer Science

    “Information theory and the Mad Gardener: Toward a theory of misunderstanding”

     

    Grab your lunch and join via Zoom | Meeting ID: 493 698 269

    Please note, this meeting requires you to be logged into Zoom through your Brown account. Click to learn more .

    Abstract: As scientific theories go, information theory has been phenomenally successful, revolutionizing our world – making it possible to have Carney talks via zoom, to pick a random example. And yet the theory has not been nearly as productive for neuroscience and molecular biology as its early advocates expected. Taking energy considerations into account helps clarify how better to apply the theory to complex natural systems, with ramifications for evolution and cognition, as well as approximate computing and deep learning. They also help explain why mutual misunderstanding is the norm, and why that’s to be celebrated, not lamented.

    Providence Sleep Research Interest Group Seminar

    Providence Sleep Research Interest Group (PSRIG) Streamed Presentation

    “Exploring mechanisms of the sleep and eating behavior association in children with overweight/obesity”

    Tuesday, April 21 at 5:00 p.m.

    Andrea B. Goldschmidt, Ph.D.

    Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior

    Alpert Medical School, Brown University

    Abstract: Dr. Goldschmidt will be presenting on foundational work suggesting that altered sleep affects eating behavior and eating-related self-regulation, thereby promoting excess weight status in children. She will discuss some pilot work assessing momentary associations between sleep and eating behavior, followed by a discussion of a new study designed to understand whether self-regulatory deficits explain the link between poor sleep and eating behavior in children with overweight/obesity.

    Responsible Conduct of Research Training (RCR)

    Spring 2020 RCR training is now available. The course content and discussion topics are designed for faculty in the biomedical and clinical sciences and fulfill the NIH requirements for training in RCR.

    This month: “Data Management, Ownership, and Record Keeping”

    Led by: Neil Sarkar, PhD and Andrew Creamer, MLIS

    Session Description: Learn about good data management practices from faculty, as well as emerging services and infrastructure at Brown University for supporting faculty with data management plans and archiving/sharing of data.

    Please Note: Faculty must complete 8 hours of RCR training within one 12-month period to receive a certificate of completion. Sessions that are required for meeting the RCR requirements are marked. All faculty are eligible to register for the sessions, but priority will be given to those who are working toward completing their grant RCR requirements. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.

    All faculty from Brown, URI, and the affiliated hospital systems are eligible to enroll in the series.
