Phenomenal advances in both the acquisition and analysis of data have allowed us to probe the vast reaches of the universe; explore the incredibly small fabric of sub-atomic matter; observe and even manipulate the myriad of molecular interactions that make our living cells function; diagnose and treat various diseases; and learn the instruction codes our parents transmit to us for life. Join our five speakers to explore these spectacular breakthroughs in science over the last 40 years. The topics are:
1) Two New Eyes on the Universe: The Event Horizon Telescope and Laser Interferometer Gravity Observatory (LIGO)
2) From Diagnosis to Healing: How the Merger of Chemistry and Big Data is Conquering Disease.
3) What is the Universe made of?
4) Epigenetics: The Rest of the Story in Human Development and Health
5) From Microscopes to Microprocessors: The Rise of "Big Data" and AI
