On February 23 at 12 PM ET, please join Carolina Data Science Now for “Imagining Better Communities.” The event will feature three lightning talks by professors and researchers in UNC-Chapel Hill’s academic community, centered around how data science is used to manage, conserve and restore natural systems, while ensuring sustainable urban development.
The seminar will be moderated by Todd BenDor, the Director of the Odum Institute and the Distinguished Professor of Sustainable Community Design in the Department of City and Regional Planning, whose research and teaching focus on improving our understanding of the impacts that human activities and development can have on sensitive ecological and environmental systems. Speakers will include Helena Garcia (City and Regional Planning & Environment, Ecology and Energy Program), Nikhil Kaza (City and Regional Planning & Center for Urban and Regional Studies), and Yan Song (City and Regional Planning & Program on Chinese Cities).
These talks will be followed by a guided panel, an opportunity for questions and answers with the speakers, and a discussion with the data science community at UNC-Chapel Hill.
