Guest: Stephanie Pilkington, PhD Candidate & researcher with the NIST Center for Risk-Based Community Resilience PlanningIntro: For decades the Saffir-Simpson Scale has been the scale used to warn people about the destructive power of an approaching hurricane…..but recently it has come under fire because it is based solely on wind and does not speak to the other hazards hurricane present. So, a group of civil engineers has developed a model in which they say can truly forecast the power of a hurricane….Today we talk to a member of that group...Stephanie Pilkington….to discuss the inner workings of this model. We’ll dive into a discussion on how we one day can use such models to protect both life and property as we explore the true measure of a hurricane….

Dr. Alicia Carriquiry is a Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences and a Professor of Statistics at Iowa State University. She serves as Director and lead investigator for the Center for Statistics and Applications in Forensic Evidence. The NIST Center of Excellence’s mission is to increase the scientific rigor of forensic science through improved statistical applications. Dr. Carriquiry provides scientific oversight and research expertise to the center. She participates in the Organization of Scientific Area Committees subcommittee on Materials and Trace Evidence and serves as a technical advisor for the Association of Firearms and Tool Mark Examiners. Dr. Carriquiry was recently named to the National Academy of Medicine and elected as a fellow to the American Associations for the Advancement of Science.

This episode focuses on the importance of materials data to the materials informatics process, as well an update on the Materials Genome Initiative.   In this episode, Dr. Meredig and Dr. Warren discuss: How a shared improv background has surprisingly made a positive impact on their scientific careers and technical communication skills. The history of the Materials Genome Initiative, its role in the materials innovation ecosystem, and its future outlook. Successful models of collaboration between policymakers, national labs, academic research groups, and for-profit companies driving innovation in materials research and development. The role the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) plays as a convener and community builder in the field of data-driven materials science. The importance of high-quality curated data in a materials R&D ecosystem.   “What people really want to see is the advantage of having a data management plan, and that’s where we’re seeing a change. Now, all you have to do is open a journal to see a lot of high-quality articles on data-driven methods and machine learning for materials discovery, and that’s an easier case to make to the community.” - Dr. Jim Warren   About Dr. Jim Warren: Dr. Jim A. Warren is the Technical Program Director for Materials Genomics in the Material Measurement Laboratory of NIST, where he has been a scientist since 1992. He came to NIST after receiving his PhD in Theoretical Physics at the UC Santa Barbara and his BA (also in Physics) from Dartmouth College. In 1995, Jim co-founded the NIST Center for Theoretical and Computational Materials Science. Dr. Warren is currently focused on the Materials Genome Initiative, a multi-agency initiative designed to create a new era of policy, resources, and infrastructure that supports U.S. institutions in the effort to discover, design, develop, and deploy advanced materials twice as fast, at a fraction of the cost.   Connect with Dr. Warren : Website: NIST.gov/people/James-Warren & mgi.gov & mgi.nist.govLinkedIn: James Warren About Dr. Bryce Meredig: Dr. Bryce Meredig, Chief Science Officer and co-founder of Citrine Informatics, researches the application of machine learning to materials science. He earned his PhD in materials science from Northwestern University, where he focused on materials informatics, and his BAS and MBA at Stanford University, where he is also on the faculty of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. He is the author of more than 20 peer-reviewed publications, including some of the earliest on applying machine learning (ML) to materials development. He was an Arjay Miller Scholar and Terman Fellow at Stanford, and a Presidential Fellow and NDSEG Fellow at Northwestern.   Connect with Dr. Meredig: Twitter: @brycemeredigWebsite: Citrine.io Please send comments, questions, and topics for upcoming episodes to podcast@datalabmi.com.

In the second episode of the Sketchnote Army Podcast, I talk to physicist and sketchnoter Rob Dimeo about his introduction to sketchnoting, and his digital tools of choice: iPad Pro 12.9, Apple Pencil, and Procreate.
