SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Exploring the Mind | Improving the Science of Making Decisions: From Classic Theories to AI
DESCRIPTION:Decision science builds models to understand how people make choices\, from personal ones to economics and beyond. Classic models assume people pick the option with the best payoff\, after weighing outcomes by their probabilities\, yet the choices they make often break that clear-cut rule. In this talk\, I discuss how psychology explains some of the differences: for example\, telling why losses sting more than gains and why tiny chances loom larger than the probabilities suggest. Today\, AI lets us move beyond simple models to map out people’s preferences and design better options. I describe the modern drive toward these advances.\n\nAbout the speaker: Richard Gonzalez is the Amos N. Tversky Collegiate Professor of Psychology and Statistics at the University of Michigan and Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research. He received his PhD in Psychology from Stanford University. Dr. Gonzalez’s research program focuses on modeling how people make decisions across a variety of domains. He has been at the University of Michigan since 1997.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Tips for Effective Public Speaking
DESCRIPTION:Public speaking is a challenge for almost everyone. When you give a presentation\, does your voice express confidence? Is it loud enough? Do your listeners easily understand you? Is your audience engaged? Do you know how to manage the ”Q&A” time after the presentation? In this workshop you will learn techniques to gain confidence and comfort when speaking in front of small and large groups. You will leave with tips and resources to use in future presentations. Everyone will give a short presentation on a topic of your choice: a self-introduction\, overview of your field of study\, or a quick story of an interesting experience.

SUMMARY:Performance:Albert Lee
DESCRIPTION:\"The greatest guitarist in the world\" –Eric Clapton\n\nBritish guitar legend Albert Lee\, regarded by many as one of the world's finest guitar players\, with a career spanning more than 50 years\, needs no introduction for country\, blues and rock fans. Widely hailed for his fingerstyle and hybrid picking technique\, Albert Lee helped to redefine country guitar for a whole generation of players with his song \"Country Boy.\" Albert's many career highlights include two Grammy wins\, five years in the Eric Clapton band (at Clapton's request Albert played the Crossroads Festival with Eric at Madison Square Garden) and stints with the Rolling Stones' Bill Wyman\, The Crickets\, the Everly Brothers\, Joe Cocker\, Emmylou Harris\, Rodney Crowell and many more. Take it from Emmylou\, who says\, \"When Saint Peter asks me to chronicle my time down here on earth\, I'll be able to say—with pride if that's allowed—that for a while I played rhythm guitar in a band with Albert Lee.\" \n\nRecorded at the legendary Konk Studios in London in March 2023\, Albert’s latest album Lay It Down is a love letter to some of his favourite artists and biggest inspirations. From Mark Knopfler's blistering Setting Me Up to Jimmy Webb's soaring piano ballad Too Young To Die\, to The Everly Brothers' storming hit The Price Of Love\, Lay It Down sees Albert’s triumphant return to the studio\, recording live\, as one of the greatest guitarists ever.
