Meeting Room ACome explore the world of Science Technology Engineering Art & Math in the STPL "Lab"! We will have Sarah Owens, molecular biologist join us!
Ready to unearth the secret life in soil? In this talk Sarah Owens, molecular biologist and sequencing laboratory manager at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, takes listeners to the intersection of soil science and artificial intelligence (AI). Owens is kind of like a DNA detective, discovering the plants, animals, and microbes in an ecosystem by analyzing traces of their genetic material in the dirt. Get up-close and personal with some soil samples and hear how advanced DNA sequencing tools and AI are giving us a better look at the hidden microbial world beneath our feet.
