Bob:

Not having heard otherwise, I presume TASC will sometime resume Tuesday lunchtime talks.  If you want to get an early start, I could sign up to do a talk by Zoom.  Possible topics are updates on previous talks I have given on "Strategies for a post-petroleum society" and "What's new in your brain?" or a new one on "Growing complex organisms in dishes and vats."  Your choice.  Best time would be this fall; I am supposed to teach a class at Santa Clara Univ winter quarter.

[TASC Luncheon] Integrating Diverse Voices into the Tech Industry

Robert Kirby <robert...@gmail.com>: Mar 03 07:06PM -0800 At Café Baklava Mediterranean Grill, 341 Castro Street, Mountain View   Tuesday March 10th, 11:45 AM   More info: Bob Kirby (650) 417-5740     *RSVP to **robert...@gmail.com <robert...@gmail.com>*       *Greses Pérez March 10*       *Integrating Diverse Voices into the Tech Industry*       Greses Pérez is an engineer and educator pursuing a Ph.D. at Stanford University in science education and learning sciences and technology design. In a recent Mercury News op-ed piece, Greses gave a first person account of tech discrimination, noted that women and minorities make up less than 15% of technology designers, and described several ways that bias against half the population is built into the machines and algorithms in use today.       Greses holds a MEng and BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Puerto Rico and INTEC, and a MEd from Southern Methodist University. Her main research interests are the intersection of science and engineering education, technology, and bilingualism.       Greses will discuss her work in engineering and science education, show how technology discriminates against minorities and women, and describe her mission to increase the representation of minorities and women in engineering & science, so the technology of tomorrow will benefit everyone.
