SUMMARY:Statistics Breakfast with Mark Hansen (Thursdays in February and March 2021)
DESCRIPTION:Some of the biggest stories of 2020 were statistical. We tracked exponential curves as COVID-19 spread across the country. On the 50th anniversary of Earth Day\, we reassessed the pace of climate change. And after the 2020 Election\, the country debated whether any of the then-President’s claims about voter fraud could be true\, attempting to estimate the true number of missing or incorrectly counted ballots. In each story\, an increase in observation and measurement\, in data\, helped us understand little more about our current situation and predict where things might go. Statistics\, the science of data and inferences we make from data\, was and is at the center of these stories. The Brown Institute will be hosting a series of “Statistics Breakfasts” to introduce CJS students and alumni to provide a basic grounding in statistics reasoning. We assume no background whatsoever — this material is not difficult\, but is extremely important for journalists to understand. Interested? Please contact Mark Hansen\, markh@columbia.edu. Also\, if there are topics you’d like to see covered please drop me an email — if there is enough interest\, we can run the breakfasts for longer than 4 weeks. Perhaps you can be a presenter as well\, bringing your questions that the group can help to reason through.

SUMMARY:Volumetric capture and immersive technologies - primer
DESCRIPTION:What are the differences between AR\, VR\, and MR? What are some options out there for creating and publishing immersive content? In this session\, we’ll map the current landscape of immersive and volumetric technologies and clarify essential terminology. \nAbout the series \nThe Brown Institute is pleased to announce the launch of Volumetric Reporting\, supported by a Provost Teaching and Learning Grant for Emerging Technology\, a seminar and training series that will explore the affordances of volumetric capture and its applications in journalism. The series will begin with talks by Francesca Panetta\, formerly of The Guardian and the MIT Advanced Virtuality Lab\, and Shourideh C. Molavi of Forensic Architecture — who will introduce applications of volumetric capture for reporting and storytelling. Talks will be followed by two workshops introducing students to the technology and then creating 3D spaces from images using photogrammetry. \nRegistert to Attend \n
