AM Seminar: The Thinking Eye: AI That Sees, Reads, and Reasons in Medicine
Presenter: Yuyin Zhou, Assistant Professor, UCSC Description: Medical AI is undergoing a profound transformation, evolving from simple pattern recognition to systems capable of complex clinical reasoning. This talk will chart this evolution across three dimensions: data, models, and evaluation. I will first highlight the shift from limited, unimodal datasets to massive multimodal resources. In particular, […]
Statistics Seminar: Some Recent Results on Transfer Learning
Presenter: Oscar Hernan Madrid Padilla, Assistant Professor, University of California, Los Angeles Description: In the first part of the talk, I will introduce TRansfer leArning via guideD horseshoE prioR (TRADER), a novel approach enabling multi-source transfer through pre-trained models in high-dimensional linear regression. TRADER shrinks target parameters towards a weighted average of source estimates, accommodating […]

April 8, 2026Rethinking Stemflow: Distribution, Infiltration, and Isotopic Insights in Forests
Rethinking Stemflow: Distribution, Infiltration, and Isotopic Insights in Forests
Juan Andres Pinos from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas In Person Location: ISB 221 Zoom Link Stemflow represents a spatially concentrated and chemically enriched flux of intercepted precipitation that delivers water and solutes to near‐stem soils. Conventional approaches neglect potential heterogeneity in stemflow redistribution aboveground and its subsurface infiltration pathways, introducing bias into forest […]

BME 80G Seminar: Sara Ackerman – Doing Ethics From The Inside: Collaboration, Critique, and Contradiction in Team Science
Presenter: Sara Ackerman, Medical Anthropologist and Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, San Francisco Description: Team science has been widely promoted as a collaborative, cross-disciplinary approach to addressing key scientific questions, yet power differences and epistemic hierarchies persist. This talk explores "embedded ethics"—a model in which social scientists and ethicists work directly […]
