Kathleen Carter works at the intersection of biology, data, and artificial intelligence developing biomedical knowledge graphs. These structured and interconnected &#8220;maps of science&#8221; reveal how data points relate to one another. Much like a GPS for information, these graphs help both researchers and Al systems navigate complex scientific landscapes making data more interpretable and actionable. Join us to learn how her work is making biomedical data more accessible, reliable, and impactful for the scientific community and the broader public.<\/p>\n<p>Kathleen Carter, Bioinformatics Data Scientist, Renaissance Computing Institute at UNC Chapel Hill<\/p>\n<p>This presentation is the first talk in a series on AI and Data Science with the Renaissance Computing Institute at UNC Chapel Hill and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tuesday, February 24, at noon in the SECU Daily Planet Theater and online<\/li>\n<li>Tuesday, March 24, at noon in the SECU Daily Planet Theater and online<\/li>\n<li>Thursday, April 16, from 6:00-8:00 PM: <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalsciences.org\/calendar?p=114923\">Science Caf\u00e9: Illuminating AI<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Live Presentation hosted by NC Museum of Natural Sciences\u2019 SECU Daily Planet Curator Chris Smith and the NC Department of Environmental Quality Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs staff.
