New tools for monitoring biodiversity and environmentsEdward Baker
How do we do science when the computer of 15 years ago now fits in your pocket and costs less than the battery you need to run it? Should biodiversity scientists work with the hacker and maker community? Should we forge links with engineering departments? Should hardware become a standard tool of the biodiversity informatician?

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

So we want to use this last talk as a vehicle to encourage some general discussion about some the themes that have come up today. Ed and I have pulled together some of the ideas that are in development, and speculate about where these may take us in the next few years.
So as an institution we forged our dreams in a simpler time… (VINCE)
When our success was measured by things like the specimens in our collection…
The buildings where we housed them…
And the staff that worked here…
But now, what was once the domain of a few people that could come to the Natural History Museum, is now the preserve of the billions that have access to the internet.
The internet breaks down these boundaries so that outcomes that were once inconceivable.
Are nowroutine. (VINCE)
Yes – you can now get PCR fridge magnets! (VINCE)
So we need new dreams.
We think you can tell a lot about someone’s dreams, by how they choose to measure them. SO for an institution of this size, we need big dreams. SO what does BIG mean.
Our dreams must be scoped to include the entirety of the natural world. All of its species, past and present; what its made from, and how these interact.
Our dreams need to scale from the smallest microbe to the blue whale. We can’t afford to just invest in niches or fashions.
And the pressures on our planet mean we don’t have time to waste. We need quick wins as well as long term solutions.
Much of this is going to require new technologies to do this science. Metagenomics for example, provides an entirely new window on biodiversity, allowing us to investigate organisms, genes and interactions, and challenge some of the very tenants of what makes up the natural world.
Technology also allows us to communicate in new ways. Our science will increasingly underpin public policy and discussion, and we need to engage with people through platforms they are currently using, rather than reinvent our own.
This means engagement at the right level – we can’t assume everyone has the same knowledge and understanding, or even interest. Some people need a broad overview, while other engage directly with our science. It should be for them to decide, and not us to dictate.
We don’t need to re-invent the wheel. Lots of good content already exists that we can repurpose leaving us time to fill in the gaps.
This needs to be inclusive, as many of the people that need our knowledge the most, don’t even speak the same language.
If our mission is to inspire engagement and interest in the natural world, our target audience has to be everybody.
And for some, this means genuinely participating in our mission. New technology makes this easier than ever.
Creating rich data from new sources
Some of which, won’t even be sentient. We can increasingly automate field identification, collecting more data with less effort.
New devices can take advantage of this, so that perhaps in 10 years your spectacles will become a head-up-display, which like facial recognition, will allow us to identify species.
Leading to new opportunities for education and new platforms for delivering our content.
And through this massive pool of data, new opportunities for research,
And challenge the way we do research into the future.
So that everyone becomes a collaborator
Realizing the potential of these new data and collaborators requires new ways to behave - where sharing becomes the default.
So that we can begin to tackle the big questions on a global scale.
Enabling us to shape our future.
A future where data comes in real time. (ED)
Is combined with what we know already. (ED)
And with quick and easy analysis. (ED)
So tasks that once took months, happen continuously behind the scenes. (ED)
New visualisations will allow us to make sense of these data; identify trends, and allowing us to communicate them in understandable and compelling ways. (VINCE --- BUT ED TO SET VIDEO GOING)
So hopefully the answer to this question… (ED)
Isn’t out of order. (ED)
SO what are our dreams… (VINCE)
They are about collaboration and communication (ED)
In your language (VINCE)
Wherever you are (ED)
And perhaps we can distill all this to a single research question. (VINCE)
Maybe this question. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. (VINCE)
