We invite you to an informative webinar on computational performance challenges at dScience.

This ODD seminar is a continuation of the previous discussion on computational literacy. For those of you who did not read out previous abstract:

Within the past decade, computation has become increasingly prevalent in school standards and curriculum across the world. One framework, computational thinking, has arisen as the dominent framework in educational settings.

Specialization of (stable) birational types is an important tool when studying (stable) rationality in families. A crucial ingredient is to cook up one parameter degenerations such that the limit has certain combinatorial and geometric properties. Nicaise-Ottem studied these questions for hypersurfaces in algebraic tori, and used tropical geometry to construct degenerations that would have been hard (impossible) to construct geometrically. Even after these are constructed one must carefully study the limit in order to apply specialization techniques, this involves both combinatorics and questions about variation of stable birational types. I will talk about the specialization technique in the setup of Nicaise-Ottem, explain some natural questions that appear through the combinatorics, and give some positive results in this direction.

The NorMIC series of workshops aims to teach biological researchers (PhD students, engineers, postdocs and young PIs) the principles of biological microscopes and image processing.

Physics education at university level aims to equip students with the necessary skills to take diverse careers paths successfully and adapt to demands of a 21st century society rapidly and effectively. We consider that this can only be achieved by incorporating research-based education innovations that have equity, diversity and inclusion at their heart. In this talk I will present a design of interactive lectures that contribute to a more equitable, diverse and inclusive classroom environment. This goes hand in hand with the design of alternative assessments such as collaborative exams. 

Collaborative exams not only can measure the previously gained learning, but also can be an optimal opportunity to produce new learning while reducing exam anxiety. We developed an inclusive approach for collaborative exams  adjusting the design to the individual learning requirements of the students. In addition, we encouraged students to become active participants in the exam format by incorporating student-generated content.
