頂尖科研項目Pioneer將在今明 召開與(yu) 教研組的免費互動研討會(hui)

通過先鋒學術組織即將舉(ju) 辦的免費公開研討會(hui) ，您可以與(yu) Washington University in St. Louis（聖路易斯華盛頓大學）和科Colgate University（高露潔大學）的教授一起探索前沿跨學科學術主題。

今年提供的兩(liang) 個(ge) 主題分別是“Computational Medicine（計算醫學）”和“Race, Gender, and the Superhero（種族、性別和超級英雄）”。

詳細時間、參與(yu) 方式、課程簡介極晝都為(wei) 大家整理在下方啦。感興(xing) 趣的同學們(men) 千萬(wan) 不要錯過哦！

Seminar 1: Spandex, Spangles, and Stripes: Race, Gender, and the Superhero

Professor Rene Esparaza, professor of gender studies and sociology at Washington University in St. Louis

Seminar incorporates psychology, media studies, sociology, gender studies, culture studies, anthropology, literature, and philosophy.

Session 1: Friday, March 15 at 10am New York, 2pm London, 4pm Central Africa time, 5pm Istanbul, 7:30pm India, 10pm China.

Session 2: Friday, March 15 at 6pm California, 9pm New York // Sunday, March 17 at 9am China, Noon Melbourne.

Cultural meanings attached to gender and sexuality shift over time depending upon sociopolitical and economic changes. Renowned philosopher Umberto Eco once asserted that superheroes embody values such as rugged individualism, the Protestant work ethic, moral exceptionalism, and the pursuit of greatness. What do the widespread appeal and prevalence of superheroes in cinema and television reveal about contemporary global culture? In this seminar, Professor Esparza will lead an interactive lecture and discussion focused on the concept of the superhero, as both a character archetype and a cultural phenomenon and how political dynamics and cultural norms have influenced the portrayal and reception of iconic superheroes like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. We will also examine the significance of Wonder Woman in the context of women’s empowerment movements.

(性別和性文化的意義(yi) 隨著時間的推移、社會(hui) 政治、經濟而變化。著名哲學家翁貝托·艾柯曾提出“超級英雄體(ti) 現、具像化了粗獷的個(ge) 人主義(yi) 、新教職業(ye) 道德、道德例外論和對偉(wei) 大等價(jia) 值觀的追求“。

超級英雄在電影和電視中的廣泛吸引力和盛行揭示了當代全球文化的哪些方麵？在本次研討會(hui) 上，埃斯帕紮教授將主持互動講座和討論，重點關(guan) 注超級英雄的概念，一種既是影視角色原型，又是一種文化現象的存在。以及政治變化和文化風俗如何影響了蝙蝠俠(xia) 、超人、神奇女俠(xia) 等標誌性超級英雄的形象塑造和大眾(zhong) 認知，我們(men) 還將研究神奇女俠(xia) 在女性平權運動背景下的重要性。)

Seminar 2: Computational Medicine: Applications of Machine Learning in Understanding Biological Systems

Professor Ahmet Ay, professor of mathematics and biology at Colgate University

Seminar incorporates computer science, mathematics, engineering, neuroscience, psychology, biology, and chemistry.

Session 1: Saturday, March 16 at 10am New York, 2pm London, 4pm Central Africa time, 5pm Istanbul, 7:30pm India, 10pm China.

Session 2: Saturday, March 16 at 6pm California, 9pm New York // Sunday, March 17 at 9am China, Noon Melbourne.

Subtle changes in biological systems, such as a slight decrease in protein levels, can profoundly affect many biological processes and lead to human diseases such as cancer. However, a quantitative understanding of how biological systems work is far from comprehensive. Obtaining this quantitative understanding with only experimentation is challenging. Computational Medicine proposes a more comprehensive solution to this crucial problem. Computational Medicine is an emerging interdisciplinary field that employs quantitative approaches such as mathematical modeling, machine learning, and computer programming to better understand the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases. In this seminar, Professor Ay will lead an interactive lecture using two case studies, each of which employ machine learning techniques to analyze biological systems: analyzing the impact of circadian clock gene variations on depression and understanding the influence of microRNAs on cancer.

（生物係統的微妙變化，例如蛋白質水平的輕微下降，可以顯著地影響許多生物過程，並導致癌症等人類疾病。然而，對生物係統如何工作的定量理解還遠遠不夠全麵。想僅(jin) 僅(jin) 通過實驗來定量的理解生物係統的運作是具挑戰性的。而計算醫學為(wei) 這一關(guan) 鍵問題提出了更全麵的解決(jue) 方案。

計算醫學是一個(ge) 新興(xing) 的跨學科領域，它采用數學建模、機器學習(xi) 和計算機編程等定量方法來更好地理解人類疾病的機製，並能診斷和提供治療方案。在本次研討會(hui) 上，Ay教授將通過兩(liang) 個(ge) 案例研究來進行互動講座，每個(ge) 案例研究都采用了機器學習(xi) 技術來分析生物係統——分析生物鍾基因變異對抑鬱症的影響以及了解microRNA對癌症的影響。）

關(guan) 於(yu) Pioneer Research Program Pioneer Research Program（先鋒學術研究）被譽為(wei) 含金量最高的科研項目，也是目前唯一正統、首高校認可的的遠程科研項目。因其全球範圍的高選拔，和嚴(yan) 謹的學術規範，使Pioneer的獲得學生、高校的一致認可。

通過Pioneer學術項目，來自世界各地的精英學生可以在自己感興(xing) 趣的前沿學科領域，與(yu) 大學教授專(zhuan) 家在線進行一對一互動，研究並撰寫(xie) 自己的課題論文，項目和研習(xi) 過程極具挑戰性。Pioneer產(chan) 出除了學術論文、教授推薦信，更能兌(dui) 換為(wei) 美國大學學分。
