顶尖科研项目Pioneer将在今明 召开与教研组的免费互动研讨会

通过先锋学术组织即将举办的免费公开研讨会，您可以与Washington University in St. Louis（圣路易斯华盛顿大学）和科Colgate University（高露洁大学）的教授一起探索前沿跨学科学术主题。

今年提供的两个主题分别是“Computational Medicine（计算医学）”和“Race, Gender, and the Superhero（种族、性别和超级英雄）”。

详细时间、参与方式、课程简介极昼都为大家整理在下方啦。感兴趣的同学们千万不要错过哦！

Seminar 1: Spandex, Spangles, and Stripes: Race, Gender, and the Superhero

Professor Rene Esparaza, professor of gender studies and sociology at Washington University in St. Louis

Seminar incorporates psychology, media studies, sociology, gender studies, culture studies, anthropology, literature, and philosophy.

Session 1: Friday, March 15 at 10am New York, 2pm London, 4pm Central Africa time, 5pm Istanbul, 7:30pm India, 10pm China.

Session 2: Friday, March 15 at 6pm California, 9pm New York // Sunday, March 17 at 9am China, Noon Melbourne.

Cultural meanings attached to gender and sexuality shift over time depending upon sociopolitical and economic changes. Renowned philosopher Umberto Eco once asserted that superheroes embody values such as rugged individualism, the Protestant work ethic, moral exceptionalism, and the pursuit of greatness. What do the widespread appeal and prevalence of superheroes in cinema and television reveal about contemporary global culture? In this seminar, Professor Esparza will lead an interactive lecture and discussion focused on the concept of the superhero, as both a character archetype and a cultural phenomenon and how political dynamics and cultural norms have influenced the portrayal and reception of iconic superheroes like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. We will also examine the significance of Wonder Woman in the context of women’s empowerment movements.

(性别和性文化的意义随着时间的推移、社会政治、经济而变化。著名哲学家翁贝托·艾柯曾提出“超级英雄体现、具像化了粗犷的个人主义、新教职业道德、道德例外论和对伟大等价值观的追求“。

超级英雄在电影和电视中的广泛吸引力和盛行揭示了当代全球文化的哪些方面？在本次研讨会上，埃斯帕扎教授将主持互动讲座和讨论，重点关注超级英雄的概念，一种既是影视角色原型，又是一种文化现象的存在。以及政治变化和文化风俗如何影响了蝙蝠侠、超人、神奇女侠等标志性超级英雄的形象塑造和大众认知，我们还将研究神奇女侠在女性平权运动背景下的重要性。)

Seminar 2: Computational Medicine: Applications of Machine Learning in Understanding Biological Systems

Professor Ahmet Ay, professor of mathematics and biology at Colgate University

Seminar incorporates computer science, mathematics, engineering, neuroscience, psychology, biology, and chemistry.

Session 1: Saturday, March 16 at 10am New York, 2pm London, 4pm Central Africa time, 5pm Istanbul, 7:30pm India, 10pm China.

Session 2: Saturday, March 16 at 6pm California, 9pm New York // Sunday, March 17 at 9am China, Noon Melbourne.

Subtle changes in biological systems, such as a slight decrease in protein levels, can profoundly affect many biological processes and lead to human diseases such as cancer. However, a quantitative understanding of how biological systems work is far from comprehensive. Obtaining this quantitative understanding with only experimentation is challenging. Computational Medicine proposes a more comprehensive solution to this crucial problem. Computational Medicine is an emerging interdisciplinary field that employs quantitative approaches such as mathematical modeling, machine learning, and computer programming to better understand the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases. In this seminar, Professor Ay will lead an interactive lecture using two case studies, each of which employ machine learning techniques to analyze biological systems: analyzing the impact of circadian clock gene variations on depression and understanding the influence of microRNAs on cancer.

（生物系统的微妙变化，例如蛋白质水平的轻微下降，可以显著地影响许多生物过程，并导致癌症等人类疾病。然而，对生物系统如何工作的定量理解还远远不够全面。想仅仅通过实验来定量的理解生物系统的运作是具挑战性的。而计算医学为这一关键问题提出了更全面的解决方案。

计算医学是一个新兴的跨学科领域，它采用数学建模、机器学习和计算机编程等定量方法来更好地理解人类疾病的机制，并能诊断和提供治疗方案。在本次研讨会上，Ay教授将通过两个案例研究来进行互动讲座，每个案例研究都采用了机器学习技术来分析生物系统——分析生物钟基因变异对抑郁症的影响以及了解microRNA对癌症的影响。）
