Trinity Term 2025 - Tuesday Talks/DwD: Week 2 DescriptionDescriptionTuesday Talks/DwD: Week 2 6 May 2025 18:20-21:00, Reuben Dining Hall
This event is split into 2 sections: Finding Cosmic Explosions with the ATLAS Virtual Research Assistant Modern sky surveys can image the entire sky every night. In doing so, they discover new cosmic explosions - from stars collapsing to stars being devoured by black holes. But the sky is vast and the alerts are many - far too many for humans to keep up with. In this talk, Heloise Stevance will present how thier Virtual Research Assistant for the Asteroid Terrestrial impact Last Alert System (ATLAS)sky survey has reduced the human team workload by 80%, and comment on the importance of a "Data First" approach in the field of AI for Science. Speaker: Heloise Stevance Rethinking Risk: Using AI and Multimodal Data to Predict Pesticide Impacts on Bees Pesticide regulations are based on whether individual bees survive exposure, but many studies show serious sublethal effects on behaviour, physiology, and hive fitness. In this talk, Rachel Parkinson will present new tools to improve risk assessment: high-throughput behavioural testing with video and audio, and AI-driven methods to extract and model data from scientific literature. Together, these approaches offer a scalable, systems-level framework for predicting how stressors impact pollinators. Speaker: Rachel Parkinson
