These were their topics:
Bianca: "Aftershock record selection criteria for structural vulnerability assessments"
I have recently improved my theory of how to obtain the Hamiltonian and equations of motion of an arbitrary electrical circuit, both classically and quantum mechanically. In particular, I have included holonomic reductions of auxiliry circuits as well as generalized Poisson brackets to treat dissipative networks. This article summarizes a body of work I developed over the past 15 years. The article is also availabe on the arXiv.org at https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.08519 .

Abstract: Misinformation has generated much discussion in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and attendant “Infodemic,” as the World Health Organization (WHO) dubbed the challenge of disordered information. Rhetorical genre studies can offer important insights about how misinformation functions within informational ecologies by revealing how typification and recurrence provide opportunities for misinformation to take hold. This article develops a genre-based framework to study scientific and technical misinformation as illicit genres through concepts of genre function and...

Brad Mehlenbacher and I are presenting at RhetCan. Absract: Focusing on the contemporary targeting of scientists, we draw on the ad Herennium and update classical vituperations to account for challenges of the ethotic construction and challenges of public scientists, health officials, and other technical experts.

Join us for TRuST's next event! Liberal democracies depend on trust and an informed public. However, disinformation is on the rise as technological advancements and our changing media landscape have allowed false information to spread like wildfire, feeding our social echo chambers and stifling constructive dialogue. How can we make informed decisions or respond to global challenges if we don’t know the facts?
Join the University of Waterloo in partnership with the Balsillie School of International Affairs, for a conversation on how disinformation and...
