Welcome to the 11th edition of Smartspaces!

An extra-special Black Friday edition of Smartspaces!

(just kidding, everything is already always free!)

I hope you’ve read/watched/followed the OpenAI drama that excited/worried/entertained us all over the last week because we’re moving on to next week 🙂 (though, did love TED Talks capitalizing perfectly by releasing a talk by Ilya Sutskever in the middle of this - it’s already been viewed more times on YouTube than the 8 previous talks combined!)

tl;dr: Must see events: 
- Live from Space w/ Jasmin Moghbeli
- Automated Model Discovery w/ Ellen Kuhl
- Engineering Ecosystems w/ AI with Sandy Pentland
- Bioinformatics Seminar w/ Barbara Engelhardt
- Tumor Detection via Imaging Data w/ Chandra Pedamallu

We’re, admittedly, always pretty excited for each week’s events but this week feels particularly good! :)

The most obvious highlight is the talk with Jasmin Moghbeli on Wednesday. A little about her: 1) MIT engineer 2) fighter pilot 3) astronaut 4) Commander of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-7. (No, that’s not a multiple choice question!)

Still, something else is especially exciting about Moghbeli’s talk… she will be speaking live from the International Space Station (!) - this is destined to be a one of a kind event, don’t miss it!

Lots more great speakers (Ellen Kuhl & Sandy Pentland are 🔥🔥) talking about some of the most important topics for our future (and present). All the details below as usual.

As always, you can find the details and links to the events in our Highlighted Events section below & 50+ additional upcoming events, indexed & enriched with contextual information about speakers and topics on smrtspace.xyz. Hope to see many of you in the talks!
