AI systems are starting to get really useful, but they use far too much energy to be served to everyone on the planet. We are going to need to make computers a lot more efficient and produce way more energy than today. Trevor McCourt (BSc, MME, '20), CTO and co-founder of leading chipmaker Extropic, will explore how radically efficient computing can transform the trajectory of AI’s energy demands. The program also includes startup lightning talks, a feature presentation from near-zero energy chip maker Vaire, and a networking reception.

Enjoy some respite from your busy schedule with yoga nidra. Yoga nidra is a beautiful guided relaxation practice that can soothe stress and anxiety and help you sleep better.

Take your literature review one step further!

Geared towards graduate students in the environmental sciences who wish to conduct a systematic review for either a thesis, coursework or journal publication, this workshop will outline systematic review methods and search strategy development through a combination of presentation and interactive activities.

A ‘systematic review,’ as opposed to a traditional literature review, uses a structured methodology to answer a focused research question. It is transparent, reproducible and involves an exhaustive search of the literature using explicit criteria for study selection.

Come for the skills, stay for the emotional catharsis.
