Check the website here: http://enlites.com/   Réka Blazsek is a PhD candidate at the ACES Lab (Adaptive Cognition & Economics in Society) of the Department of Cognitive Science at Central European University. She is interested in the cognitive and evolutionary roots of economic and political institutions. In other words: what are the links between the design of the mind and the design of institutions? She aims to tackle this topic by focusing on the cognitive foundations of ownership. In this episode, we start by talking about how social minds may generate societal phenomena. We discuss coordination games, and how they can be used to model social norms. We then get specifically into ownership, the domains of our lives it applies to, and where beliefs about ownership come from. In the second part of the interview, we talk about mental health in PhD students, and the challenges they go through. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. In her blog, Yvonne explores the dynamics of supervising PhD students, comparing different supervision styles to parenting methods. She describes a spectrum ranging from 'Drone' supervision, where advisors micromanage every detail, to 'Free-range' supervision, which allows students considerable independence. Yvonne advocates for a balanced approach, warning against the extremes of over-involvement or neglect. She emphasises the importance of adapting supervision style to the individual needs of students to foster resilience, adaptability, and genuine learning, ultimately aiming for what she terms 'Lighthouse' supervision—guiding without over-directing.

Jalyn shares her journey into the world of marine biology, starting with her interest in fish and aquatic biology during her undergraduate studies. After completing her master's degree in aquaculture-related research, she decided to pursue a PhD focusing on stingrays. Jalyn discusses the challenges she faced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which delayed her move to Australia and disrupted her plans to start her PhD. Despite the setbacks, she persevered and continued her research remotely, working on literature reviews and analyzing existing drone data on stingrays. She also highlights the imposter syndrome she experienced during this time, feeling like she wasn't fully immersed in the PhD experience without being physically present. Once Jalyn finally arrived in Australia in December 2021, she immediately started conducting fieldwork using drones to observe stingrays' feeding behaviors. She discovered that different species of stingrays have unique foraging strategies and preferences for specific habitats. She also observed interesting behaviors, such as rays overturning coral rubble to access prey. Throughout the episode, Jalyn emphasizes the importance of using drones to study stingrays, as they provide a non-invasive way to observe their behavior and gather valuable data. She also discusses the gaps in knowledge regarding stingray foraging behaviors and the need for more comprehensive research in this area. Overall, Jalyn's journey into studying flat sharks showcases her passion for marine biology and her dedication to understanding the ecology and behavior of these fascinating creatures.

This year's summer school will deep dive into the area of AI for Tourism with both core and applied research tracks. With a stellar lineup of 18 speakers from seven different countries over two half days, this will be an unmissable event, including keynotes, plenary lectures, and roundtable discussions along with networking and research colloquia. The school is aimed at professors, post-docs, PhD students, researchers and graduate students in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing and computer scientists who have an interest in statistics and Machine Learning. Why attend? Over two days you will explore cutting-edge research in AI for Tourism that is reshaping our future. Join Keynotes and roundtables with speakers from seven different countries including IT EHL Switzerland, University Of Algarve, Portugal, Sorbonne Universitiés, France, Sacred Heart University, Fairfield, Connecticut, University of Granada, Spain, Scotland and Ireland! Meet some of the greatest Professors, Post-Doc's, PhD Students and Researchers doing both Core and Applied research in the area of AI for Tourism right now. The RDI hub building is dedicated to John McCarthy as a tribute to the Stanford University computer scientist. McCarthy was one of the founders of the discipline of artificial intelligence and his father was born in Cromane, near Killorglin in Co Kerry. In the late 1950s McCarthy invented LISP which became the programming language of choice for AI applications. AI is going to have a truly transformative effect on our lives in the coming years, Already it is a discipline which has risen to prominence in terms of the personalisation of content we interact with on a daily basis online but there is so much more AI can help us achieve in the tourism space and we are looking forward to discussing its diversity with our speaker panel. Our aim is that the John McCarthy AI Summer School will become a calendar moment for the development of AI and the sharing of knowledge. RDI Hub CEO, Liam Cronin had this to say about the event: “The application of Artificial Intelligence will be a key driver of future Tourism growth in Ireland. Tourism is a huge economic sector for Kerry and we look forward to the further development and coordination of Digitalisation in the tourism sector in conjunction with possible associated new business/employment opportunities. The John McCarthy AI Summer School is a gathering of the brightest minds in AI, with this year's event taking a deep dive into the area of AI for Tourism with both core research and real-life applications as to how it is reshaping our future.” Professor Vinny Wade, Director of the SFI ADAPT Centre and Chair of Artificial Intelligence at Trinity College Dublin's School of Computer Science and Statistics, said: “Artificial Intelligence is making a significant impact on the tourism sector and the underlying technologies form part of ADAPT's key research focus. AI is helping to reinvent the tourism sector, from fintech and human behaviour analytics to augmented and mixed reality enabled scenic destinations, our researchers are looking to harness the opportunities offered by technological advances to help meet the needs of tourists and citizens. The AI Summer School is a great platform for broad engagement and we are delighted to be a founding member of this initiative.” Dr Haithem Afli, lecturer in AI at Munster Technological University, had this to say “The purpose of the John McCarthy artificial intelligence (AI) Award is to promote research in AI research done by students and foster scientific exchange between students and scienti...

This week Dr Anna Volkmer is back in the hosts chair, interviewing PhD Students, Esther Hui and Emily Fisher. Esther and Emily both study in the International Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Centre at University College London. Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is an evidence-based therapy for people with dementia. It is the only non-medical therapy endorsed by UK government guidelines for the cognitive symptoms of dementia. Group CST treatment involves 14 or more sessions of themed activities, which typically run twice weekly. The aims of sessions are to actively stimulate and engage people with dementia, whilst providing an optimal learning environment and the social benefits of a group. CST is widely used across the UK as well as globally, with work ongoing in at least 35 countries. The International CST Centre was set up to co-ordinate this work and is directed by Professor Aimee Spector. In this podcast Esther and Emily discuss the programme, their studies and how they're adapting CST to work in different cultures and settings.

Listen to this interview of Jari Saramäki, author of How to Write a Scientific Paper: An Academic Self-Help Guide for PhD Students (2018) and professor of computational science at Aalto University, Finland. We talk about how hard soft skills are. Jari Saramäki : "Yes, I think that there is something to a kind of immersion approach to learning. Because you can learn a lot by observing, by imitating, by looking at things and asking questions. But this is something you need to decide to do. So, you can read a paper so that you just read and try to get the science out of it. Or, you can start reading it as if you wanted to write a similar paper, so that you look at its structure, the shape of its sentences, and so on. You try, basically, to absorb all this information that's in the writing. But you need to know that there is this method of reading. So, yes, as teachers, we should maybe be trying to point this out to students: 'Next time when you read a paper, forget about the science, and try instead to look at the sentences and the paragraphs. Write like a one-sentence summary of each paragraph, and then observe in your sentences how the whole paper has been structured.' So, yeah, we should definitely encourage our students to do more of this kind of immersive learning." Watch Daniel Shea edit your science here.

This week the Triplicates take a deep dive into how dating TV shows (think Love Island, The Bachelor/Bachelorette) somehow provided them with the skills they need to succeed as a first year PhD student. Also, how watching all of those cheesy apocalypses movies in 2012 actually could help you through this pandemic. I know what you're thinking, but if you don't believe us, listen to the episode to learn more! We check in with the Triplicates about their third rotations, how classes are going, and Amanda's three favorite Irish men. Want to share your experiences? Email us at triplicatespod@gmail.com.
