Scientists and engineers know that communicating their work in a compelling narrative is crucial to their line of work. It helps people understand and appreciate the complexity of the research and study they have done but the problem is, not many STEM professionals know how to turn their work into a compelling story. What they need to do, according to Dr. Bob Rogers, is to work on their demystifier quotient which is the ability to bring their stories to life and translate these complex topics into an engaging and comprehensible story for the general audience. Dr. Rogers is a leader in his technical field of data science and artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare and he is also a master communicator and translator of complex topics. He is an extraordinary demystifier in his area of expertise and he is currently the Expert in Residence for AI at UCSF Smarter Health where he is developing FDA-cleared AI to improve healthcare, and he is also an advisory board member at the Institute for Applied Computational Science at Harvard University where he's currently helping shape the Data Science, Computational Science, and Engineering Graduate Programs at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.  Dr. Rogers is the co-founder of Orchestrated Intelligence which focuses on AI to augment supply chain planners. He previously served as Chief Data Scientist for IT Transformation in the Data Center Group at Intel, and as Intel's Chief Data Scientist for Analytics and AI solutions. Prior to his work at Intel, Dr. Rogers had an impressive array of leadership experiences through founding and co-founding startups in the data science field.  Dr. Rogers earned his Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University and B.S. in Physics from Berkeley.  What You’ll Hear On This Episode of When Science Speaks [01:07] Mark introduces his guest, Dr. Bob Rogers [04:03] Tips on how to tell a compelling story about your work  [06:50] Is communicating through vivid and simple terms in order to reach more people consider as a dumbing down of concepts?

However, it is a skill that remains elusive for many scientists and engineers because turning technical research into a compelling story isn’t the easiest thing to do. But Dr. Bob Rogers says that it’s possible if you start by understanding the needs of your audience and answering these questions: why they’re there, what they need to know, and what can your product do for them. Once you have those dialed in, it will be much easier to communicate with them in an effective and engaging manner that will allow them to resonate with the work that you have done. By simplifying the terms you use and sharing your narrative in a compelling yet easy to grasp manner, you have already made it that much easier to get your message across. It is about knowing every detail about the topic at hand and finding a balance of what to add or leave out in crafting a narrative from a complex topic in order to make it comprehensible for your target audience. Leveraging AI now and in the future  Artificial Intelligence is a system that’s built to answer a very specific question. If you think about AI that way, then you’re well on your way to being able to maximize it to its full potential. AI shouldn’t be viewed as a competitor for human skills; rather, consider it as a source of support that improves the processes and output that’s gathered from large amounts of data. However, there are risks and challenges involved when in the adoption of AI, with the biggest one being its inability to recognize underlying bias in the data that’s entered within its system. This is particularly true with the extant privacy laws for data protection across various industries.  Learn more about Dr. Bob Rogers, his expertise, and his work on this week’s episode of When Science Speaks.

Microsoft SQL Server is one of the most deployed databases on the planet, with millions of customers worldwide. So it’s important to understand how customers will be affected by emerging technologies, particularly in this era of digital transformation. Ken LeTourneau, Enterprise Solutions Architect in the Data Center Group at Intel, explains what impact data center technologies like Intel® OptaneTM DC Persistent Memory will have for customers deploying SQL Server 2019. What worked, even a few years ago, in the data center won’t support the demands of today. As Ken says, "It's no longer about hindsight, it's about insight.” SQL Server 2019 provides industry-leading performance and security, with intelligence over all of an enterprise’s data -- structured or unstructured. SQL Server 2019 with new big data features provides an easier path to acting on data, and with support for Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory, it can deliver larger memory-optimized databases for scale-up and scale-out system landscapes. As Ken explains, SQL Server is no longer simply a way to run queries. It's an intelligent data platform that enables advanced data work such as prescriptive analytics. Distributed data bases, intelligence at the edge, and beefing up analytics and insights capabilities are changing the way customers should think about building data bases. Learn more about how Intel and Microsoft are enabling this intelligence from the edge to the cloud here.

Ken LeTourneau, Solutions Architect in Intel’s Data Center Group, joins us on this week’s Conversations in the Cloud to discuss Intel® Select Solutions for Microsoft SQL Server on Windows and Linux. Ken highlights the major differences between versions of Intel® Select Solutions for Microsoft SQL Server. While the original designs were very workload focused, the version 2 solutions are built to be general purpose with multi-tenant environments in mind. The new design is based on Windows Server 2019 and incorporates Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory as well as Intel® Optane™ Solid State Drives (SSD). Using persistent memory means high endurance and IOPS so customers can scale with the same quality of service. He also discusses the SQL Server for Linux, which introduces multi-tenancy via containers. Users can stack containers onto servers, allowing more room to grow before a new server is needed. Linux for SQL Server is now supported by Microsoft and has performance parity with Windows. As an architect, Ken feels that Intel® Select Solutions are a valuable approach for SQL servers because the verified hardware and software stacks are workload optimized. The designs are guided by relevant industry benchmarks and input from an ecosystem of partners. In addition, the prescriptive reference design gives partners high confidence in solution performance for end-users. Data is doubling every 2 years and companies need to understand both its value and use. In the future, Ken expects to see a major change as companies are forced to adapt to their own data deluge.

Cristina Rodriguez is the Vice President of Intel’s Data Center Group and General Manager of the Wireless Access Network Division. She sits down with Allyson Klein in this episode of Chip Chat to talk about the transformation of the radio access network to support commercial 5G deployments around the globe. 5G services demand a new architectural approach for radio access networks. Communication service providers are not taking a one-size-fits-all approach to this transformation. Instead they are evaluating a mix of approaches, including traditional distributed, fully or centralized virtualization, integrated, micro cells and more. This pragmatic view positions CommSPs to leverage existing investments while introducing cloud architectural concepts. Similarly Intel takes a holistic solution view of each deployment that draws on a broad portfolio of high performance CPUs, SOCs with network acceleration, eASIC, FPGAs, software, storage and more. Cristina details the new “Snow Ridge” 10-nm SOC that extends Intel architecture into 5G wireless access base stations for control and packet processing and will establish new performance per watt leadership. Ericsson is already planning to deploy Snow Ridge in its portfolio of solutions. She also highlights some of the recent innovations in FlexRAN to bring cloud innovation to the radio access network in the form of SDN, NFV, Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC), network slicing and more. She also touches on the momentum and maturity in ecosystem solutions intended to accelerate adoption across the market. Rodriguez also shares some of the new 5G use cases in industrial, retail, entertainment and other industries that are making the previously impossible, possible. These use cases are made possible by transformed networks, and her team’s work in RAN will play a key role in this end-to-end transformation.

In this Intel-sponsored episode of SMACTalk, Daniel Newman leads a show focused on the visual cloud. Joining Daniel is Lynn Comp, Vice President of Data Center Group and General Manager of the Visual Cloud Division Network Platform Group at Intel. During the show, they discuss what Intel is doing in the realm of the visual cloud and what we can expect in the future. Lynn focuses her time on helping cloud services be transformed. She talked about the visual cloud including visual workloads that are processed on the cloud and consumed remotely, resulting in horizontal make-up. She mentioned that a lot of enterprises want their subcontractors to be able to view their 3D models, but not the whole model itself. So, remote access is critical for intellectual property. Lynn mentions that individuals aged 18 to 49 tune into YouTube more often than they do TV. This is a worldwide trend that is exciting and pushing the visual cloud forward through the delivery of things like Comcast and other similar broadcasters.  Lynn discussed how video marketing is becoming more and more common, especially for small to medium-sized businesses. The best way to work with this tech is to learn what the most effective solution might be for the network that they have. With the visual cloud, there is no single design point. Instead, there are multiple points, creating a better hook to increase conversions. The visual cloud gives developers more opportunities in their business models, workload placement and the user experience as a whole. Lynn explained what Intel’s strategy is for the visual cloud. Intel is taking a “software acceleration” approach, being in the market with software such as the Media Server Studio and Web RTC, which is a way to conduct streaming. Continuing on this acceleration, they will soon be open-sourcing DLDT or the Deep Learning Deployment Toolkit and OpenVino to help unleash innovation and make it easy for solution providers to find the right solution and deciding where to put it. Will they need to place it in the cloud or the edge? She also shared that Intel will also be opening up access to Scalable Video Technology and working with Google and others in the industry. By open-sourcing these capabilities, Intel believes they can unleash even more innovation. Lynn further explained that it doesn’t matter how optimized your solution is, if you don’t have the ability to move between the different design points. With Intel, you should have access to the same software that is scalable across all solution points. Instead of broadcasters needing to rip and replace their infrastructure, they can upgrade their hardware seamlessly through software. Lynn discussed how the whole broadcasting industry is making the switch from black box equipment to software-based architectures to be cloud ready. As the cloud makes 5G possible, it also leaves space for flexibility with the software to find visual cloud workloads.  Daniel wrapped up the show by asking what the real outcome will be in investing in the visual cloud. Lynn explained that to some extent, everyone has the opportunity to be a creator. They can show their passions and talents to a wide audience using YouTube and other broadcasting tools. It isn’t just a passive experience anymore. We’ve unleashed the user’s creativity to create channels, broadcasts and communities that didn’t exist in the past.  

Dr. Andres Rodriguez, a Senior Principal Engineer in the Data Center Group at Intel, stops by to talk about why it is so critical to optimize framework and software tools artificial intelligence applications. Intel has worked hard over the last two years to optimize popular frameworks like Caffe, TensorFlow, MXNet, and Pytorch for Intel® Xeon® processors. We’ve also developed the Intel® Math Kernel Library for Deep Neural Networks (Intel® MKL-DNN) to accelerate deep learning workloads on Intel® architecture. Customers are now seeing the benefits of using their existing Intel Xeon processors for artificial intelligence workloads with increasingly optimized performance.

SMACTalk Live at VMWorld with Intel In this special Intel sponsored episode of SMACTalk, Daniel Newman leads a show focused on digital transformation while attending VMworld 2018. Joining Daniel is Lisa Davis, Vice President and General Manager of Digital Transformation and Scale Solutions, Enterprise and Government for Intel’s Data Center Group. During this podcast, Daniel speaks to Lisa about what Intel is doing to further digital transformation and how data will make it all happen faster. During the show, Lisa discussed how Intel talks digital transformation, mentioning how it sometimes becomes an overused term. Every company today is a technology company. To remain competitive, you need to use technology to move faster and drive more meaningful insights inside your business. Digital transformation is all about enabling businesses to compete in a tech-centered world. Lisa gave us an example of Ford—who is no longer just an auto-manufacturing plant. Instead, they are a mobility service provider. Every company is transforming themselves into this technological world. No matter what business you’re in, you are a tech business at the core. And for each business, digital transformation should be a top priority. In this episode, Daniel and Lisa both discussed what digital transformation means to business systems. It all comes down to data and building a digital transformation system depends on it. Whether the data is from a software or a database, it should be leveraged to move businesses forward faster than ever before. Digital strategies are connected to business strategies and should be aligned with data strategies. All three should be aligned to one another for success. At VM World, VMware’s multi-cloud environment was a big focus. Having a hybrid cloud strategy is all about workload and data mobility. Lisa discussed how seamless orchestration and flexibility as an organization to drive insights for data is what Intel supports in this new environment.  Daniel mentioned how 90 percent of the world’s data was created in the last 12 months. Data is growing exponentially. Technology has to support the digital transformation and cannot be done without it. Furthering this point, Lisa discussed Intel Select Solutions, a partnership with VMware. The whole purpose of the tool is to help organizations adopt tech faster, simplifying the integration of the new technology to form a data-centric environment. Intel performs tests, benchmarks and validates reference architecture so customers don’t have to. It simplifies the process and helps customers modernize their environments faster. During the show, Lisa shared how to make the cloud work and how collaboration is key over competition. An ecosystem of partners needs to work together to help customers adopt technology. It’s all about easing the complexity of the environment. As a former CIO, Lisa has 26 years of experience being the customer. Understanding what customers really need, she helps Intel further their customer-centric approach and experience, both keys to success. As a last point, Daniel and Lisa discussed the future of the data center being the hybrid cloud which will bring about so many new opportunities for businesses and CIOs. The more data businesses can put next to their computing power, the more problems they can solve. And the ability to process data faster and store it in larger quantities is going to change the face of data.     About Lisa Davis Lisa M Davis Vice President and General Manager for IT Transformation, Enterprise and Government Data Center Group, Intel Corporation Areas of Expertise: Disruptive Technologies, Women in Tech, Supply Chain, Higher Education Technology, Federal Government, Cyber Security Industry Experience: High Tech, Higher Education, Federal Government, National Security, Intelligence, and Defense Twitter: @LisaM_Davis                          Lisa Davis is vice president and general manager for IT Transformation in Intel Corporation’s, Enterprise and Government Data Center Group where she is responsible for growing Intel’s data center business and working alongside enterprise and government CIOs to create IT transformation strategies for their organizations.
