You may think that messy, squishy biology and cold, logical computing don’t mix. The reality is very different! Join us to learn from Norwich researchers about how artificial intelligence is used to improve clinical science, and how modelling life as a system of information exchange helps us answer questions about the inner workings of plants.

Revolutionising Clinical Science with AI

Dr Jacob Newman (Research Software Engineer at University of East Anglia)

Discover how we're revolutionising clinical science with AI! Join me as we explore three groundbreaking projects, from detecting dizziness in patients, tracking infant cognition, to using AI to detect toys in mother-baby interactions. You'll gain insight into how we're accelerating research at UEA's High Performance Computing department and learn about the incredible ways in which AI is changing the world of healthcare. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to discover the future of clinical science!

Botanical Telepathy: Do plants talk to themselves?

Franziska Hoerbst (PhD Researcher at John Innes Centre)

In this talk, we'll explore the fascinating phenomenon of intra-plant communication. How do flowers know that spring is coming? How do the roots of trees tell the tops that they can grow because there is enough food in the soil? From coordinating complex behaviors to responding to changing environments, plants rely on intricate signaling systems to thrive. By delving into the world of plant communication, we'll discover how information theory provides a powerful lens through which to view these processes. Join us for an exciting journey into the secret life of plants.
