Great webinar! AI is powerful and can do all sorts of things. I liked the breakdown definitions for AI, ML and DL. Also, the timeline of definitions and categories of AI were quite interesting.
What are your thoughts on climate change and sustainability in higher education? I found a great article that focuses on higher education providing students an understanding of sustainability and the challenges as well as how to contribute to such efforts.

Some tips / advice I can offer future researchers are as follows.
1. Secure a good mentor (one who communicates and provides feedback).
2. Seeking additional funding opportunities.
3. Give yourself permission to take breaks, self-care.
4. Do your best to not take things personally from your mentor and others (easier said than done).
5. Network with others.
6. Publishing scholarly, well written papers.
I also found an article that shares tips for the next generation of researchers.

Wow, what an informative webinar! I've not heard of digital biology. I can see how machine learning and machine learning models would be of great benefit for people.
I was looking at some current trends in higher education and there are quite a few. One that I'll speak to is the increase in non-traditional students. I love to see this! As a lifelong learner and an educator, it makes me happy to know that non-traditional students are going to college or back to college. Advances in technology as well as institutions altering their policies and learning models has played a significant role in the influx of non-traditional students.

I live in Nebraska and this weekend; I noticed a lot more individuals wearing masks. I have a few friends who work in healthcare who have some worry about the new variant.
Great poster! I think that assessing individuals' usage and group usage of social media platforms such as Facebook and TikTok are necessary to gain a broader understanding of overall use. For example, years ago I was on Facebook, but I haven't been for at least 8 to 10 years now. During the time I was on Facebook, my usage had peaks and valleys; depending on what was going on in my world had some influence in my usage. In relation to motivation of usage, in one of my recent college lectures' we talked about social media as a means to integrate with others socially and present oneself in a positive light. With that said, I had a few students share that they are seeing an influx of people/users of social media platforms share the not so positive information as well. I'd be curious to know if self-presentation on social media platforms is changing to a more transparent view of one's life and what characteristics influence this. Thoughts?
Fall prevention requires an awareness of the person's fall risk as well as assistive devices and social support in place. Last year, my stepfather's dementia became so bad that he had to go into a nursing home. During his short time there, he fell out of his bed and fractured his hip. Our family was upset and devastated. Long story short, his broken/fractured hip sped up his decline.
I recently read an interesting article about an individual who uses a coffee cup as part of his interview process. In a nutshell, the interviewer walks a candidate to the kitchen to offer them a drink; water, coffee, a cup of tea, or a soft drink, and then he moves on with his interview questions. At the end of the interview, if the candidate doesn't offer to take their cup back to the kitchen, he shares that the candidate will not likely advance to another round and/or be hired. Here's a link to the article. https://www.businessinsider.com/job-interviews-boss-coffee-cup-test-mind-games-2023-9
I'm curious what your thoughts are? Most are saying it's manipulative.
What a great webinar! As this webinar showcases, there are significant ways AI can help with all sorts of issues. However, AI also poses some concerns and challenges.
Interesting topic! As soon as I saw this concept, I thought of self-plagiarism. But, after reading up on text recycling I now know that it's not self-plagiarism. Knowing what I now know about text recycling, I can see how it would be useful to expand on research. Additionally, I learned about the different types of text recycling which include developmental recycling, generative recycling, adaptive publication, and duplicate publication. https://textrecycling.org/files/2021/06/Understanding-Text-Recycling_A-Guide-for-Editors-V.1.pdf
Interesting webinar! I worked in mental health for about 8 years and many of the clients I worked with were diagnosed with a mental health issue/disorder and/or dually diagnosed (i.e., both drugs/alcohol and mental health issue). Schizophrenia was one of the mental disorders that I worked with, and it was difficult to treat. Some didn't respond well to the medications, and some did. I agree that educating individuals about a lifestyle change is important. I further agree that understanding the nature of the motivation to embrace a lifestyle change and ask specific questions.
AI is an important and valuable tool. In terms of education, it's important that AI not replace the overall learning experience and writing itself. AI can improve writing which makes it a great tool for students and others. However, it's important to not rely solely on AI for writing.
I enjoyed this webinar! Extreme weather events have and continue to impact human health and our planet. In order to better protect patients and the planet, there needs to be more education about the possibility of immediate health risks of extreme weather events and how patients/individuals can better protect themselves and stay safe during such times. Helping people be proactive is in their best interest.
