]]>The Bioinformatics Computational Biology Association (BCBA) is excited to host Dr. David Case.
Join us for this talk on Friday, November 14th at 12PM, where he will be presenting virtually, but we will be meeting in-person in BIOL 120 to have a small question panel at the end!
Dr. Case received his undergraduate education from Michigan State University, and earned Masters and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University, working with Dudley Herschbach and Martin Karplus. He has held teaching positions at the University of California, Davis, The Scripps Research Institute, and at Rutgers University.
He is a legend in the field of molecular dynamics simulation of proteins and nucleic acids like RNA. Also he's one of the key figures behind the development of the bio simulation suite Amber (https://ambermd.org/)
]]>UMBC's Institute of Politics released the third and final part of their recent poll of 810 Maryland adults with the results of a set of questions on "Attitudes toward artificial intelligence".
Maryland Matters has a good overview of the results, which it summarized as "Nearly all Marylanders responding to a new poll said they are aware of artificial intelligence — and they have concerns." As an example, the piece notes that "81% are concerned about the spread of misinformation and political propaganda because of AI."
You can read the details of who was surveyed, the AI questions, and a breakdown of the answers here.
]]>Join us again this Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025, 3-5 pm, at the CADVC gallery as UMBC drawing instructor Alx Velozo leads an interactive workshop, exploring and experimenting with observational line drawing directed by our senses.
Alx Velozo is a trans and disabled sculptor, educator, and performance artist raised in North Florida swamps, currently residing in Baltimore, Maryland. Their installations and performances combine cultural imaginations of illness, touch, the medical industrial complex, and kinesthetic learning models. They most recently received their M.F.A. in Sculpture and Extended media from Virginia Commonwealth University, and previously received a B.F.A. from Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. Velozo has exhibited, taught, and facilitated in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Richmond, Miami, and Chilchota, MX. They have taught and consulted for the Baltimore Museum of Art, University of Maryland Baltimore County, George Washington University, Maryland Institute for the Arts, and Baltimore City of Accessible Arts.
This program is presented in connection with "Pedagogy Study Hall," a research project, exhibition, and publication by Tomashi Jackson and Nia K. Evans exploring the structures that sustain our cultural and educational systems.
This program is sponsored by the Wagner Foundation, the Maryland State Arts Council, the Baltimore County Commission on the Arts and Sciences and the Citizens of Baltimore County, and the Arts+ initiative at UMBC.
CADVC exhibitions and events are free and open to the public for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, workflows, and the skills that matter most. But the future belongs not to machines, but to humans who adapt alongside them.
Rex Jarrett, Director of UMBC's Office of Professional programs, hosts this forward looking session on how to thrive in an era of intelligent work. Learn what skills can't be automated, how to future proof your career through continuous learning, and how to use AI as a partner rather than a threat. Whether you're navigating a career transition or reimagining your professional path, this session will help you chart a confident, informed course toward your next opportunity.
The session will take place online at 12-12:30pm EST on Wednesday, November 12, 2025. Get more information and join the event here.
