IEEE Madison’s November 7th 3 pm tour is at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery’s Saha Lab where they use CRISPR technology for addressing inherited retinal disorders. We’ll tour the lab, see a CRISPR machine and see how the output is used. Welcome to the CRISPR Vision Program at the University of Wisconsin- Madison! UW – Madison is a part of the Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) Consortium funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We're innovating non-viral gene editing therapies for inherited retinal disorders. Our work aims to bring the groundbreaking potential of CRISPR technology to those affected by these diseases. The labs focus lies in overcoming the limitations of existing viral delivery systems and introducing novel, non-viral treatments for inherited eye diseases, particularly those affecting the retinal pigment epithelium. As a part of the SCGE Consortium, the lab is working in a community dedicated to developing safe and effective gene editing methods to treat genetic diseases in somatic cells.

Virtual Senior Member Reference Review Panel Online interviews for members wishing to elevate to Senior grade will be conducted by a panel of current Nebraska Section Senior Members in a virtual format. Interviews will be scheduled in quarter hour time slots, where the Seniors can get to know the candidates and serve as references on their application for advancement. Have you ever wondered what is required to be a Senior Member or even why it mattered? IEEE membership enhances every stage of your career. Whether you are an established professional or just starting out, IEEE membership identifies you as superior talent. Advancing your member grade can bring added peer recognition to your accomplishments and shows your employer your desire to improve your technical and leadership skills. Senior Membership is encouraged because it is required, in most cases, for key volunteer positions at the IEEE. Benefit of being a Senior Member As an IEEE Senior member, you receive the following benefits: - Recognition: The professional recognition of your peers for technical and professional excellence. - Leadership Eligibility: Senior members are eligible to hold executive IEEE volunteer positions. - Ability to refer other candidates: Senior members can serve as a reference for other applicants for Senior Membership. - Review panel: Senior members are invited to be on the panel to review Senior member applications. - Letter of commendation: A letter of commendation on the achievement of Senior member grade will be sent to your employer (upon your request). - Announcements: Announcement of your elevation can be made in section/society and/or local newsletters, newspapers and notices. In addition to your new benefits, the following rewards are sent to you via postal mail: - Complimentary Society Voucher: You may use this voucher to join one new IEEE Society. - Senior member plaque: An engraved plaque you can proudly display to colleagues, clients and employers. The plaque, an attractive fine wood with bronze engraving, is sent approximately eight weeks after elevation. So what’s required to elevate? - To be eligible for application or nomination, candidates must: - Be engineers, scientists, educators, technical executives, or originators in IEEE-designated fields - Have experience reflecting professional maturity - Have been in professional practice for at least ten years (with some credit for certain degrees) - Show significant performance over a period of at least five years in professional practice Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/447600 |

Neuromorphic computing or brain-inspired computing is considered as a potential solution to overcome the energy inefficiency of the von Neumann architecture for artificial intelligence applications. In order to realize spin-based neuromorphic computing practically, it is essential to design and fabricate electronic analogues of neurons and synapses. An electronic analogue of a synaptic device should provide multiple resistance states. A neuron device should receive multiple inputs and should provide a pulse output when the summation of the multiple inputs exceeds a threshold. We have been carrying out investigations on the design and development of various synaptic and neuron devices in our laboratory. Domain wall (DW) devices based on magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), where the DW can be moved by spin-orbit torque, are suitable candidates for the fabrication of synaptic and neuron devices. Spin-orbit torque helps in achieving DW motion at low energies whereas the use of MTJs helps in translating DW position information into resistance levels (or voltage pulses). This talk will summarize various designs of synthetic neurons synaptic elements and materials. The first half of the talk will be at an introductory level, aimed at first-year graduate students. The second half will provide details of the latest research. Speaker(s): S. N.

Everyone should be aware of the hazards of electrocution by this time. Delving further into electrical hazards related to the power industry the primary hazards addresses with an arc-flash is the incident energy release - electrocution, temperature, and mechanical trauma. The focus is generally related to the physical modes of injury - that is burns and electrocution. What if the potential modes of injury extend well beyond the physical perspective? Dr. Raphel Lee, founding member of CETRI based in Chicago, will introduce us to the other modes of injury that can result from involvement with electrical hazards. Please join us for an informative hour long virtual presentation held on Dec 10th starting at noon. PHDs will be available for those who successfully reply to the questions posted in the chat during the event.

Written communication, from simple emails to formal reports, publications, and regulatory submissions, is a critical component of any technical career. However, formal guidance and training on this topic for engineers is often overlooked, leading to confusion, inefficient exchange of information, and limited ability to advocate or negotiate. By improving your technical writing to be more clear, concise, consistent, complete and correct, and tailoring your approach to your specific audience, you will be more successful in having your voice heard and establishing credibility with others. This talk will also cover useful time-saving tips for robust document formatting, preparing ahead for future revisions and collaborations. Learning Objectives: - Develop your effectiveness and efficiency in technical discussions and negotiations. - Improve your written communication over a range of technical writing activities to establish credibility and have your voice clearly heard. - Describe useful time-saving methods for robust document formatting to maintain high-quality through future revisions and collaboration.

Grace Brewster Hopper (née Murray; December 9, 1906 – January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy Rear Admiral. One of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, she was a pioneer of computer programming who invented one of the first code linking routines. Hopper was also one of the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages, and the FLOW-MATIC programming language she created using this theory was later extended to create COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today. AFTER the three documentaries (short+medium+short in length) - we can have a brief discussion session.
