The world is in the midst of the next mass extinction. By using artificial intelligence to scan thousands of photos of animals, Tanya Berger-Wolf, a professor of evolution, ecology and organismal biology, is opening a wealth of newfound information for conservationists at a time when the stakes have...

Animal ecologists are increasingly limited by constraints in data processing. Here, Tuia and colleagues discuss how collaboration between ecologists and data scientists can harness machine learning to capitalize on the data generated from technological advances and lead to novel modeling approaches.

An article on discourse on social media and how it changed as -19 started to spread. We discovered Russian TV efforts to promote anti-vaccination early in the pandemic. Specifically, they featured pre-pandemic Robert F. Kennedy "interview," in which he claimed that the CDC is a vaccine factory. It is interesting that the anti-vaccination movement frequently relies on pseudo science and pseudo media to advance their messages.

Congratulations to CEEC lab member Craig Fouts ! His team's 1st place at HackOHI/O earned some hometown paper coverage from the Newark Advocate for their webcam-based mouse software that makes 3D-modeling programs easier and more accessible.

Three Granville High School alumni were part of a first-place team during OSU's annual hackathon.

Continuing the lab tradition, congratulations to our undergraduate student Craig Fouts and the team on winning the Hack OHI/O at The State University!
The team Angry Pixies (Craig Fouts, Baker Poling, Noah LaPolt, Noah Charlton) won the HackOHI/O 2021 hackathon organized by OHI/O Ohio State College of Engineering. They received the grand prize for their work on a gesture-recognition accessibility tool called Space Rat that enables users to perform input on Windows that might otherwise be difficult or impossible with a conventional keyboard and mouse.

HackOHI/O enables students to work in teams to build something meaningful or solve an industry-sponsored challenge.
