Texas Science
Добавлен 22 апр 2008
The College of Natural Sciences is the largest college at The University of Texas at Austin.
More than 370 faculty members and 8,000 students study everything from subatomic particles to the most distant of galaxies (and all things between). Within a two-block radius, you'll find some of the worlds top molecular biologists and chemists searching for a better understanding of HIV, computer scientists inventing new processors to power the future, neuroscientists seeking to understand learning and memory, and evolutionary biologists reconstructing the great Tree of Life.
The college stretches from the Texas Gulf Coast, where the Marine Science Institute sits on the tip of Mustang Island in Port Aransas, to the Davis Mountains, home to the McDonald Observatory.

How AI is Accelerating Discovery
Researchers in fields as diverse as astronomy, chemistry, neuroscience, biotechnology and public health are now using AI tools to look for patterns in their data, write code, find and summarize existing scientific literature, and even design experiments. Someday, scientific discoveries might even be made entirely by AI.
We sat down with two guests for a bird’s eye view of how AI tools and approaches are boosting scientific discovery. Adam Klivans (www.cs.utexas.edu/people/faculty-researchers/adam-klivans) is a professor of computer science and the director of the Machine Learning Lab (ml.utexas.edu/) (MLL), which is a kind of umbrella organization for interdisciplinary AI research across t...

Are We There Yet? Driving to Health Equity in the Treatment of Obesity
This ant is learning his capabilities in the same timeline as me. Their original habitat had learned to cope with the crazy ants appetites. I assume several millineum was needed for the trees of the era to develop defensive toxic characteristics that prevented the amber crazy ant from consuming them entirely. That's right these ants that have been let loose in our backyard once again eat trees. Not since man first began looking at the world around him, have we had an ant that can eat a tree We do now. What I've been witnessing is brand new to mans eyeballs. Our trees are going to need several millineum of their own to come up with a toxic defense. Like the Cedar tree we have. Normally bug free. Everyone knows that, not only bug free but it works like an aromatic bugproofer in your dresser drawer. No longer. The crazies Love Cedar
They can live and multiply in almost any location. There main colony however is in the root structure of trees. Very hard to terminate a colony because they can recede to the far reaches of the root system. They will have already cored the entire tree, roots, trunk every last branch and twig. I have video to verify everything I've said, and much worse.
I can report many disturbing facts regarding the amber crazy ant. True they can live and multiply PRIMARILY in the root structure of trees. The queens are below ground level in the center of the Taproot. Yes the taproot. They will consume the entire root structure and ultimately the whole tree. When you kill one, with his dying breath he shouts "send me a platoon!" Of course he shouts it with chemicals. Next day you will see, where you slew that one ant, there is 40. When you kill that 40, next day there isn't 80, theres a battalion

The Chinese woman at the end was totally clueless. I learned something new today, China has bimbos too. Sounds like the propaganda, or the withholding of information to its people is in the west/US & not China. Hope this talk opened her eyes & eyes of westerners who are brainwashed by their China bashing government.

As a person living across cultures, I have been very confused about the American stance on Taiwan. Taiwan is merely a Chinese part. Separatism in Taiwan has been fostered by a small group of separatists with the help of the American administrations.
Bio class is my oop
This conversation was truly informative for me, as I have been working for the Ukrainian defence and didn't have much spare time to learn about China. China is not in the centre of Ukrainian news stream and we do not know much about its goals and accomplishments. The grim image of a world power silently and covertly supporting Russia, which attacked us in a violent way, is a very important factor that spoils the image and perception of China in the Ukrainian society. I am not in a position to teach the Chinese but if they want a peaceful world, they need to promote it in real life, not in their imagination. Russian regime is war-mongering and aggressive and its exploits have nothing in common with the principles of Chinese modernisation, as put here by Mr. Thornton. I hope China and Ukraine will become close partners for the mutual benefit. If China so wishes, it must help us stop the war.

Courting males night call 5000 times in a single evening before they are chosen by a female.
Excellent talk, pure and simple to understand.
The ignorance, closed mind and arrogance of the American elites, academics, "experts", and commoners are appalling. John is an ultra rare exception, one in a billion, who sees the truth.
Come on, be even more honest and direct. China wants coorporation and harmony, not animosity and agression. US wants absolute domination, abuse and bully. US has been hostile, agressive,unreasonable and bullying. Yet, China is never hostile towards US. China was defensive at most. So, China is evil as it defend itself?
😮 WOW! Some of the info. On here I never knew. I never knew that there was an ant called """THE CRAZY ANT""" ! Anyhow I have subscribed to your link, page or whatever you call it. I've got a question about this ant I've only heard it called by one name, " The Cow Ant ". It is orange & black. I'm not even sure where it lives here,pastures,to,the forest, close to water or what? I don't know if they still live !!! They look a little fury? Do you know what talking about? It has been ages since I've actually seen one of them.
Biden is bad for Americans, bad for the Chinese, and awful for the US-China relations. Truly a career politician.

🇺🇸🍰🇨🇳 yup... the topic is toxic China and U
I'm an ethnic Chinese but a citizen of another English-speaking country all my life. To be honest, I find that the cultural divide and misunderstandings between the US and China are too great. The Chinese people are more serious, at the same time highly sentimental, emphasise on community more than individuality, filial piety, etc. This is reflected even through music where modern American pop music tends to be more light-hearted even when dealing with heavier subjects, whereas Chinese pop music is almost always romantic, kinda philosophical, and even sorrowful. For anyone looking to understand China on a deep level, with all its nuances and unique culture, it's necessary to learn the Chinese language, and to visit China. I disagree with some proponents who assume that Chinese students do not speak out against their country purely out of 'fear'; in many Asian countries (including Japan), the ideal is to learn to voice disagreements in an 'agreeable' way, paying attention to not offend the questioner too, not purely out of fear but also respect for one another. I've studied English Literature till high school (Shakespeare, The Great Gatsby, etc) but the Chinese language/literature is more complex and beautiful; many less tangible things get lost in translation in English, even when you use highly advanced translation tools. Also if you understand Chinese culture through their literature, including the fables, religion, etc, you gain a more nuanced, multi-faceted understanding of why China does what it does today to help its people. And finally China is so much more than just its governments and leaders, it's a mistake to label all 'Chinese' as some sort of monolithic entity. At the end of the day we're all human and not THAT different. I hope the Chinese and Americans interact more with each other and never isolate yourselves and cast judgments from afar. Visit each other's countries for excursions, go on immersion trips from young, learn each other's language, appreciate music and literature together even if it might seem "trivial" - hopefully that helps.
Can't believe the Chinese American woman who asked the most stupid question after the talk! It showed she didn't understand what the speaker was saying at all!
Even though she is Chinese, she is a classic example of a westerner who's been fed a heavy dose of China bashing propaganda. Hope she & others like her wake up & see the real China.
He is excellent on most issues except the Hong Kong issue; he sure didn't understand what actually happened there. China has been more than patient and restrained in dealing with Hong Kong.
You are absolutely correct. I have to add. The Chinese are not stupid, unaware and passive. Just look at the outcome now! The Chinese approach and handling has been optimal since day 1. Think like a Chinese, then one will understand.
The problem is that the US is currently spending 1B per year to systematically defame China with lies and disinformation. This is a mystery to nobody except Americans.
And to the detriment of the Americans only.
It’s politics playing. I don’t think the masses Americans agree to that. But the seeds sowing are such the American public is a little screwed in that they can’t see a different system. They think other systems just don’t exist what’s more that they can be more efficient. The basic thinking line is that the common folk are easily influenced by sweet talk or ferocious talk. It’s just not good for deciding a government. With government changing every four or eight years simply means no long term’s planning and frequent policy changes. And the worst is the politicians seem to have forgotten what they have said when they came to power. It’s just like a pantomime show, great fun and laughter then everyone goes home, forgotten why they were gathered for in the first place.
I'm invigorated by the depth of this piece. A book with congruent topics opened new pathways for me. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
Very iluminating lecture. The only thing I am worried is the fact that lecturer seems amused by Chinese Communist Party. I am from Ukraine and I remember Soviet Communist Party. So when I am reading that every Chinese company has to have a CPC organisation in the enterprise not because employees asked for this but because this is a rule. And then read Orwell 1984 or Animal Farm. Everything is described there in details

Ole Sid is a crooner it sounds like!
Of the many “China experts” in the China-watch industry these days, Mr. Thornton is one of the credible ones. 1. Interesting he cited Kevin Rudd in his speech. Yes, Mr Rudd is one of the phoniest China experts. As if to mask his obvious phoniness, Mr Rudd always throws in a few phrases in perfectly annunciated Chinese in his speeches, just so to remind the audience of his mastery of the language. The only trouble is: Mr Rudd’s mind on China is a closed and biased one. He can’t see beyond his nose. 2. As a Chinese American, I’m ashamed of the Chinese woman who asked the last question. I wonder if she was paid by the China hawks in the Washington establishment to ask that question. What a way to put down and discount completely the achievements of the Chinese government in their struggles in the last 40 years. She attributed their success to the “generosity of the US and the west”. Hmm, how many billions did American and European corporations profit from China’s rise? 3. I particularly love her stupid assertion that our quarrels are with the Chinese government and not the Chinese people. In case it isn’t obvious to her, the same Chinese people love their government with 90+% approval. 4. It’s odd to me that Chinese people always seek affirmations from China experts from the west, like Mr Thornton, as if their approvals are needed to vindicate China’s achievements. I suspect this phenomenon will soon be a thing of the past as it is becoming clearer everyday that these experts from the west can’t even fix their own problems. Good speech nonetheless except for the fact that the woman’s question made me puke.
It takes a wise, realistic, unbiased, reasonable, and truth seeking brain to find out the real picture of future. Not everyone has such a brain.
