Come join us for our Inaugural Workshop!
Thursday, June 30th, 2022 from 8:30am to 4:00pm
Followed by a Reception
Are you a data scientist or aspiring to be one? A community organization in the Chicagoland area? A corporate entity looking to hire data scientists? Come learn/share how to best integrate data-science into your mission and engage experts and other organizations for discussions, lectures, and activities.
Meet the data scientists themselves! Our mentors and students will be present to talk through their projects, their strategies for success, and the ways in which they see these skills improving the communities within our focus areas of: health, social, and environmental sciences.
Learn from non-profits and corporate partners how they utilize data-science and plan your future career! Curiosity is always welcome. Feel free to share this flyer with anyone who is interested.
Breakfast, Lunch, Coffee, Tea, and Snacks will be available throughout the day to attendees.
Please register for the event no later than June 20th, 2022.

WED@NICO SEMINAR: Julio M. Ottino, Northwestern Engineering "THE NEXUS - Augmented Thinking for a Complex World - The New Convergence of Art, Technology, And Science"
Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems (NICO)
12:00 PM
//
Lower Level, Chambers Hall

Speaker:
Julio M. Ottino - Dean, McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, Northwestern University
Title:
THE NEXUS - Augmented Thinking for a Complex World - The New Convergence of Art, Technology, And Science
Abstract:
Today, more urgently than ever, we need to augment our thinking. The world faces enormous challenges of unprecedented complexity—problems that intertwine in a dizzyingly interconnected, interdependent, and changing landscape. The demands are clear: we must adopt new ways of thinking and working that cross the boundaries of classical knowledge and practice; creativity must increase, and execution must excel. How can we augment our thinking spaces to increase creative solutions? How can we make those solutions real by mastering complexity? By working at the Nexus, where art, technology, and science converge.
Speaker Bio:
Julio Mario Ottino is an internationally renowned thought leader, engineering scientist and researcher, author, educator, and administrator, with interests spanning many fields. His research work is centered on chaos theory and complex systems; his initial passions were split between painting and math and engineering; deeply interested in the intersection between art, technology, and science, he also made incursions in the links between engineering with humanities and law. As dean of engineering and applied science at Northwestern University, he founded initiatives in design, entrepreneurship, and energy and sustainability He has been listed in the “One Hundred Engineers of the Modern Era" by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has been a Guggenheim Fellow and is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2017, he was awarded the Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education from the National Academy of Engineering.
