SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Health and Development Work Abroad: Ethics and Best Practices
DESCRIPTION:Growing numbers of Americans work in developing countries as volunteers or as employees of government agencies\, NGOs and charities devoted to humanitarian aid. Many of these activities are meant to address gaps in the health care available to communities with limited resources\; some provide direct patient care\, while others address more systemic issues suchas access to vaccines and/or training to increase the number of local health care professionals. While most of these efforts are well-intentioned andmany provide much-needed assistance\, some have been shown not only to be ineffective but also to have unanticipated negative consequences. This panel will address both the practical and the ethical dimensions of foreign involvement in health care delivery and development in low-resource communities.\n\n* Part of the International Career Pathways Sessions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Annual Copernicus Lecture. Sexual Minorities and Civil Rights in Poland
DESCRIPTION:Robert Biedroń will explore the recent history of LGBT rights in Poland. Following the fall of communism\, new opportunities arose\, and the official registration of organizations and media presence helped start a dialogue in Polish society\, followed by a period of progress. Recently there has been a backlash and legislative ban on almost all LGBT-related issues. Biedroń will draw on his years of experience as a legislator and activist to provide an overview of this history and discuss the current political climate.\n\nRobert Biedroń\, mayor of Słupsk\, Poland\, is an LGBT activist and a member of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe. He holds a Ph.D. in political science and a diploma from the School for Young Social and Political Leaders in Warsaw. Having served as a consultant to numerous human rights organizations both in Poland and abroad\, Biedroń is the co-founder and a long-standing president of the Warsaw-based Campaign Against Homophobia which protects the constitutionally guaranteed rights of sexual minorities in Poland. From 2011-14\, he was an elected member of the Polish Parliament\, serving as vice-chair of the Justice and Human Rights Committee and a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee. The first openly gay parliamentarian and mayor in Poland\, Biedroń participates in the Advisory Group on Gender\, Forced Displacement and Protection launched by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.\n\nPart of the Minorities series which will focus on the fates and challenges various minorities face\, from ethnic and racial groups to people with disabilities and members of LGBT communities. How do different political regimes come to define groups as minorities\, and how do they engage with them as a result? What can the experience of minorities in the other parts of the world teach us?

SUMMARY:Film Screening:A Time to Choose
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced – and it is also our greatest opportunity. We have the solutions we need\, but we are in a race against the clock to implement them in time. Oscar-winning documentary director Charles Ferguson captures the urgency and innovation of this critical moment in his new film\, TIME TO CHOOSE which takes audiences on a journey from the threats we face to the remarkable stories of people changing our world for the better.  TIME TO CHOOSE also delivers a clear message to audiences: we can take action to stop this global threat. It is the first major film to offer compelling stories of the innovators\, leaders and average people fighting on the front lines for a cleaner\, more sustainable world.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MSAIL #4: Stochastic Sorting
DESCRIPTION:Our next MSAIL discussion will focus on Stochastic Sorting\, the art of sorting given a noisy comparator. We'll meet at:    3427 EECS\, Wednesday\, 2016-11-02\, 18:00-19:00.So that we can buy an appropriate amount of snacks\, please rsvp on Facebook. And bring all potentially interested friends!  Sneakpeek of IdeasWe're familiar with MergeSort\, HeapSort\, QuickSort\, and their ilk: they are comparison sorts that attain the provably best worstcase asymptotic complexity of O(n logn) comparisons.\n\nBut... what if we can't fully trust our comparator? What if there's noise? An algorithm robust to noisy comparators must solve that fundamental difficulty of Machine Learning: to synthesize uncertain observations into a more certain whole. The study of such algorithms\, then\, is part of Machine Learning\, and in its connections to optimization\, it relates not only to ML but also economics and even evolution. Check out the following for more details!Active Learning (Guillory et al 2009)Active Learning for Stochastic Sorting (Ailon 2012)\nSorting for Genetic Algorithms (Brownlee 2010) --MSAIL
