Nanoplastics are far tinier - a single nanometre is just 0.000001 millimetres. For comparison, a human hair is approximately 80,000–100,000 nanometers wide.</p> Thu, 04 Jul 2024 17:50:18 +0000 webfull 200712 at /channels Mastering Data Science: Conversation With Experts on Roles, Responsibilities, and Challenges /channels/channels/event/mastering-data-science-conversation-experts-roles-responsibilities-and-challenges-357646 <p>Gain valuable insights into the rewarding experiences and challenges that data scientists, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning specialists, face in their careers.</p> Sat, 08 Jun 2024 02:23:33 +0000 webfull 200428 at /channels EduGenAI Keynote - Navigating the Generative AI Landscape: Opportunities, Threats, and Implementation Strategies /channels/channels/event/edugenai-keynote-navigating-generative-ai-landscape-opportunities-threats-and-implementation-356880 <p><img alt="Google sĂ©lectionne l'ingĂ©nieure tunisienne Rihana Msadek pour former sur l'IA gĂ©nĂ©rative et les outils Google - Managers" src="https://managers.tn/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/1686243397326.jpg" style="height:250px; width:250px;</body></html>" /></p> Fri, 19 Apr 2024 13:37:34 +0000 webfull 199551 at /channels EduGenAI Panel: Artificial Intelligence in Research /channels/channels/event/edugenai-panel-artificial-intelligence-research-356660 <p><strong>Overview: </strong>While beliefs regarding the impact of AI on education – both realized and potential – are readily available, what we actually know and understand about such impacts is still quite limited.  This panel will illustrate som</p> Tue, 09 Apr 2024 15:05:38 +0000 webfull 199284 at /channels EduGenAI Panel: Artificial Intelligence in Teaching /channels/channels/event/edugenai-panel-artificial-intelligence-teaching-356659 <p><strong>Panel Overview:</strong> Instructors design and implement the teaching that students experience.
