Ecology Center Discussion with Dr. Matthew McCary

Panel Discussion/Presentation

The Ecology Center is honored to host Dr. Matthew McCary from the Department of Biosciences at Rice University for a moderated discussion led by Andrew Kulmatiski.
From Dr. McCary:
“My research examines the fundamental drivers and constraints of soil biodiversity, specifically how diversity relates to food web dynamics, community and ecosystem responses to environmental disturbances, and the feedback loops between food webs and ecosystem functioning. There are three major questions I investigate: (1) how do invasive species change soil biodiversity and associated ecosystem health? (2) What are the impacts of urbanization on ecosystem and community processes? (3) How does ecosystem structure affect food web responses to changes in resource availability? To address these questions, I use an integrative approach that includes observational and experimental studies, ecological modeling, and molecular techniques.”

Science Unwrapped: AI is an Astounding Innovation, but Can We Trust It?

Panel Discussion/Presentation

Science Unwrapped's Fall 2024 "Joining Forces" series continues Friday, Nov. 15, with data scientist John Lawson, who presents "A.I. is an Astounding Innovation, but Can We Trust It?" at 7 p.m. in the Eccles Science Learning Center on campus. All ages are welcome and admission is free. Hands-on learning activities and refreshments follow the talk. Artificial intelligence – AI – captures our imaginations with its rocketing innovation and surging accessibility. AI-generated text, video, images and voices seem like magic, yet can also be a wolf in sheep’s clothing with incorrect and misleading information. How do we harness this amazing tool, while curbing potential harm? Data scientist John Lawson, who uses AI to predict weather hazards, explores what it means, and the diverse skills, knowledge and precautions needed, to create trustworthy AI.

Promoting Civility and Dignity in Utah

Panel Discussion/Presentation

In a time when respectful dialogue and understanding are more essential than ever, we invite community members, leaders, and advocates to join us for an engaging panel dedicated to fostering civility and dignity across Utah. Tami Pyfer will discuss the Dignity Index, which serves as a powerful tool for measuring and promoting dignity in our interactions. This framework helps individuals and organizations assess their impact on others and encourages practices that uphold the inherent worth of every person. Becky Edwards will talk about her passion around electing responsive, thoughtful Utahns who will focus on civility and have complex policy conversations that focus on true governing. Civility and dignity are overarching topics important to A Bolder Way Forward (BWF). The BWF aims to inspire Utahns to engage in civil discourse and make meaningful connections across differences. To do this, we encourage Utahn’s across the state to focus on active listening, empathy, and respectful communication, which will pave the way for creating positive change in Utah.
