| AI for Good Seminar Series - AI for Human Rights
As a team of scientists working as statisticians for human rights, the Human Rights Data Analysis Group (HRDAG) partners with human rights advocacy organizations to identify questions that can be answered and arguments that can be strengthened using data science. Dr. Price’s talk will highlight how data science and AI methods and tools are being used to tell stories, build cases, and answer important questions about the human toll of conflicts in Syria, Mexico, and Guatemala. She will also address the potential harm that can be done when relying on incomplete and imperfect data in domestic situations such as predictive policing of drug use in Oakland. Read More.

| FSE Global Food Security Symposium Series | Innovation Needed to Meet Global Food Security Challenge
Join us for a talk with agricultural and development economist Christopher B. Barrett, this quarter’s visiting scholar with the Center on Food Security and the Environment. Barrett is the Stephen B. and Janice G. Ashley Professor of Applied Economics and Management and an International Professor of Agriculture with Cornell’s Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management.
Professor Barrett will discuss food systems advances over the past 50 years that have promoted unprecedented reduction globally in poverty and hunger, averted considerable deforestation, and broadly improved lives, livelihoods and environments in much of the world. He’ll share perspectives on the reasons why, despite those advances, those systems increasingly fail large communities in environmental, health, and increasingly in economic terms and appear ill-suited to cope with inevitable further changes in climate, incomes, and population over the coming 50 years. Barett will explore the new generation of innovations underway that must overcome a host of scientific and socioeconomic obstacles. Read More.

| Strava Co-Founder and Executive Chairman Mark Gainey @ ETL
Mark Gainey is the co-founder and executive chairman of Strava, which launched in 2009 as a web platform that allowed cyclists to track their rides via GPS devices. Two years later, Strava had only around 5,000 members, but soon the rise of GPS-enabled mobile phones and wearable fitness trackers kicked the company into high gear. A decade later, propelled by six fundraising rounds that have brought in $41.9 million, Strava has grown into a platform where more than 40 million athletes around the world communicate, track their workouts and compare their stats.
This appearance by Mark Gainey is part of the Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders series. Join us live as we bring founders, investors and industry influencers to center stage and invite them to share what it takes to become a disruptor. Read More.

| Environmental Forum | How Can Climate Science Help the Climate Crisis?
Please join us for an Environmental Forum with Professor Stephen Belcher, Chief Scientist, Met Office, UK.
How Can Climate Science Help the Climate Crisis?
The impacts of climate change are already evident both in the UK and worldwide, through changes in extreme weather, diminishing snow and ice and rising sea levels. The Paris Agreement in December 2015 marked a turning point in climate negotiations with 195 governments agreeing to take global action to tackle climate change.
As a result, the focus of climate science research at the Met Office has changed to reflect these changing drivers: moving from proving that climate change is happening to understanding the nature of the change. Robust, impartial and targeted climate science is needed to manage the risks of climate change, including developing strategies for lowering greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for the changes to our climate which are unavoidable.

| Bits & Watts Community Forum: The Clean Energy Innovation Pipeline
Please join us in the Shriram Tea Room for free food, drink and a casual conversation with Tenley Dalstrom on building the clean energy transition.
Abstract: As the risks of climate change become more evident, investors are divesting from traditional energy, the energy industry is turning toward more renewable fuel sources, and policy makers are committing to clean energy goals around the world. To fill the vacuum, we need to cultivate a host of new technologies from ideation to commercialization. How best do we as an ecosystem of incubators and accelerators develop a pipeline of innovation to fill the gap?
