Hey Hawkeyes! Interested in how Generative AI will impact scientific fields? Join Dr. Emily Duz Speltz and Dr. Abram Anders for their presentation "Using Generative AI to Support STEM Learning."

If you attend, you're in for an an engaging session on leveraging generative Al to enhance student research and scientific communication. Discover how large language models (LLMs) can empower students with tools for self-regulation, creative ideation, and reflective learning. We'll also explore the ethical considerations and limitations of Al, ensuring responsible and effective use in academic settings. 

Researchers, this is for you--this session is perfect for students looking to amplify their research skills and embrace cutting-edge technology in their scientific endeavors.
