"CNN Philosophy: From Cellular Nonlinear Networks to Biologically Inspired Computing"
Klaus Mainzer (Munich)
Cellular Nonlinear/Neural Network (CNN) technology is both a revolutionary concept and an experimentally proven new computing paradigm. It lays the groundwork for a different approach to information processing that is based on brain-inspired spatial-temporal behavior in large-scale, cellular arrays of nanoeletronic processing elements...

This one-hour brown-bag lunch session will provide an overview of the message box, a tool for presenting your research to diverse and non-specialist audiences. The message box can be used to develop a grant proposal, devise your elevator pitch, design a web profile, prepare for an interview, and much more. Melinda Gormley, the Assistant Director for Research of the Reilly Center for Science, Technology and Values will host this discussion. …
Scientific researchers are now called upon to engage more fully with diverse publics and policy-makers. Public engagement, however, comes with its own challenges. As scientists and engineers leave their labs and enter the public sphere, they need to consider how to make responsible use of communication techniques by coupling skill in communicating effectively with deeper reflection on communicating ethically.…

Engaging in research projects with community partners introduces unique and challenging ethical tensions. Such tensions may develop around issues of power, control, confidentiality, mutuality, and transparency. Special considerations emerge as well for community-based researchers as they seek institutional review board approval of their projects.

For close to five decades the anti-authoritarian social movements have criticized the idea that only value-free scientific research can count as objective. What is the new "proper scientific self" that is supposed to replace this "Mr. Nowhere" who supposedly in principle can see everywhere in the world from no particular place in it? …

Patterns of collaboration and co-authorship in chemistry from the 1920s to the 1960s are examined with an eye to the allocation of credit during a period of expanding group authorship and team research in science. Three research leaders are the focus of this study within a framework of sociological literature on collaborative patterns among eminent scientists. It is argued that Michael Polanyi in Berlin, Linus Pauling in Pasadena, and Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin in Oxford—all of whom used techniques and instruments of X-ray diffraction—are cases that confirm the need to de-center historical narrative from “he” or “she” to the collaborative “they.” Yet crucially, too, these cases demonstrate the significance of the local and the personal for historical explanation that transcends generalizations about scientific practice, material culture, and sociological trends.…
News agencies around the world have provided in-depth coverage of the controversial proposed Keystone Pipeline ‘tar sands’ oil project, but few people have heard of the ‘tar sands’ pipelines that are right here in Michiana. Learn more about the Michiana pipeline at this panel discussion followed by Q&A. This event is free and open to the public.
Many historians and sociologists of science have noted turning points in the postwar American research enterprise in 1970 and 1980. The former was a low point, a time of funding cutbacks, campus unrest, and poor employment prospects, especially in physics. The latter saw the election of Ronald Reagan, the record-setting Genentech IPO, passage of the Bayh-Dole Act, and other ostensible stimulants to academic entrepreneurialism. So what happened in between? This talk examines episodes at Stanford, Cornell, and University of California Santa Barbara in which physicists dealt with the budgetary and cultural crises of the early 1970s by developing organizational, pedagogical, and lifestyle experiments that later aligned them with 1980s discourse encouraging academic entrepreneurship and university-industry partnership.…

Researchers face many challenges and ethical considerations when working in developing countries. Is it ethical to set up a comparison study when a section of the population will not receive needed interventions? What are the ethical implications for implementing development projects that do not result in positive outcomes? What are the requirements for conducting human subject research in Africa?…
