SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Science Café: Fangs & Venom
DESCRIPTION:What do tarantulas and rattlesnakes have in common? Fangs\, venom\, and a notoriously bad reputation. This spooky season\, join us for a closer look at two of the animal kingdom’s most misunderstood creatures.\nResearchers Dr. Matt Holding from the U-M Life Sciences Institute and Dr. Cara Shillington from Eastern Michigan University’s Arachnid Lab will take us into the world of these two underappreciated animals. From the science of venom and predator–prey interactions to the surprising ways these animals live\, move\, and interact with their environments\, we’ll explore what happens when scientists look beyond the myths and fear surrounding these remarkable creatures.\nCome curious\, leave with a new appreciation for fangs and venom\, just in time for Halloween.\nThe program begins at 6 p.m. Seating is limited\, so please come early.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Science Café: The Fungal Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Fungi are familiar to most of us. Mushrooms pop up in our yards after a rainstorm. Yeast brew our beer. Maybe you’ve foraged for morels or picked up a sourdough hobby. If you think you know fungi\, though\, think again! Just this summer a team of U-M researchers discovered an entire world of fungi thriving nearly a third of a mile underground\, including 13 new species that have never been described before.\n\nFungi have conquered some truly unexpected environments\, from freshwater ecosystems to deep in the Earth's crust. Join Ecology & Evolutionary Biology PhD Candidate Quinn Moon and Dr. Tim James\, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Professor and Curator of Fungi at the U-M Herbarium as we venture into the fungal frontier. Discover how these remarkable organisms survive and thrive\, and consider what fungi can teach us about the limits of life on Earth.\n\nHors d’oeuvres will be served at 5:30 p.m.\, and the program begins at 6:00 p.m. Seating is limited—please come early. Free and open to the public.\n\nSponsored by Sigma Xi.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Science Café: From Proofs to Privacy - How AI is Changing Computer Science and Security
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) is all around us\, influencing the way we work\, communicate\, and make decisions. These technologies are raising new questions about digital privacy and data security. At the same time\, AI is changing the field of computer science itself by helping researchers gain efficiencies and explore new mathematical hypotheses.\n\nJoin Dr. Mahdi Cheraghchi from the U-M Department of Computer Science and Engineering and Dr. Florian Schaub from the U-M School of Information to learn about two different but connected perspectives on this rapidly evolving field.\n\nDr. Cheraghchi will explore how AI is becoming an increasingly important tool for theoretical computer science\, including its emerging role in mathematical discovery\, while Dr. Schaub will examine what happens when increasingly capable AI systems enter our everyday lives–with a focus on privacy\, human behavior\, and AI governance.\n\nCome curious\, bring your questions\, and join us for a conversation about the principles that shape what computers could do and the societal questions that shape what they should do.\n\nSeating is limited\, so please come early. Free and open to the public.
