    Opening up the “Black Box” of Artificial Intelligence Models to Understand Human Cognition with Dr. Sarah-Jane Leslie and Dr. Tania Lombrozo

    Have you ever wondered how similar information encoding and processing of artificial intelligence (AI) is to our own human brain? How are our minds incredibly energy efficient compared to the bucketloads of energy required to power these sophisticated yet oftentimes naive AI models? These are all questions we explore, and practical advice on how students can get involved in answering these types of questions as well as pursuing interdisciplinary studies! In this episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond, Aanya Kasera sits down with Dr. Leslie and Dr. Lombrozo, professors and researchers who are part of heading the brand new interdisciplinary research initiative, Natural and Artificial Minds (NAM), to learn more about AI models and how that may enrich our understanding of the ever-enigmatic human mind.  This episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond (B cubed) was produced under the 148th board of The Daily Princetonian in partnership with the Insights newsletter.

    Exploring Princeton Plasma Physics with PhD Student Maxwell Rosen

    The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), roughly four miles out from campus, is a national lab run by the Department of Energy and yet remains a relatively elusive branch of Princeton’s research centers. The PPPL focuses on using plasma, often called “the fourth state of matter,” to tackle the world’s toughest science and technology challenges. In this episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond, Noelle Kim sits down with Maxwell Rosen, third year Ph.D. student in the Princeton Plasma Physics Program, who focuses on the gyrokinetics of high-field magnetic mirrors. Listen in on this exclusive interview to learn more about Maxwell’s notable work and the overarching goals of the PPPL!  This episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond (B cubed) was produced under the 148th board of The Daily Princetonian in partnership with the Insights newsletter.
