Join us for the first webinar in the EMBS Twin Cities Engineering in Medicine series, sponsored by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society – Twin Cities Chapter. This session will explore how generative AI tools—such as large language models and image generators—are beginning to reshape clinical care, research, and global health measurement. We will discuss how Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM) can reduce radiation dose in breast imaging while preserving diagnostic quality, how synthetic data can help address bias and gaps in real‑world healthcare datasets, and how GenAI is being deployed to summarize medical visits and navigate complex electronic health records. The webinar will close with an open, interactive discussion on where these tools “happily cross ethical boundaries,” examining unresolved questions around safety, transparency, consent, and equity in and beyond healthcare. Speaker(s): Fred Nugen, Agenda: 1 hour of a virtual talk followed by questions. Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/548861

In a competitive global market, specific skills are becoming in-demand for entry-level roles into emerging tech fields like semiconductor production and advanced manufacturing. As a result, some companies are shifting toward skills-based hiring, prioritizing specific competencies over traditional diplomas. To stay ahead, you need a way to develop skills employers are seeking and validate your expertise in emerging technologies. Join us for our webinar where we’ll explore the strategic advantage of skills-based microcredentials and how to bridge the gap between your current experience and the high-demand roles of tomorrow. What You’ll Learn: - Strategic Advantage: How microcredentials can validate your skills so potential employers know what you can do. - Pathway Mapping: Real-world examples of using microcredentials to pivot into emerging tech fields through skilling, upskilling, and reskilling. - Employer’s Perspective: Direct insights into what skill sets hiring managers want to see for emerging tech roles. Speaker(s): Jennifer Fong, Melanie Booth, Scott Holman, Kathy Hayashi Agenda: IEEE-USA's free webinars/events are designed to help you find your next job, maintain your career, negotiate an appropriate salary, understand ethical considerations in the workplace and learn about other career-building strategies and public policy developments that affect your profession.

Residents of the Caribbean region are among the first to see direct climate change impacts, including more frequent and severe storms, and sea level rise. However, islands are taking action and leading an energy transition that not only improves their safety, independence, resilience, and economic development, but also shows that islands can provide solutions to the global climate challenge. Each island is unique, with different objectives for their energy future and different options available. At the same time, islands in the Caribbean have utilized common practices to plan for and implement a shift to clean energy, rather than the imported fossil fuel that is commonly used. Resilience has been a core priority in both the overall design and the implementation of this energy transition. The experience of islands in creating an energy future that is resilient, reliable, low-cost, and sustainable can inform similar transitions in other countries and regions.
