The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) offering high school students a cost-free opportunity to learn about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers on Wednesday, June 8, 2022, from 5-6 p.m. ET via Zoom. The theme was the Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare. Distinguished speakers:Carlos Albuja is Product Manager, Strategy and Innovation at Amgen. He received his bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from UCLA. From there, he began his career at Mattel Toys, where he helped the Barbie team digitize their manufacturing design process. He began working at Amgen in a data-monitoring role to ensure the quality of the manufacturing process for Amgen medicines. After building large data solutions for various business units in Amgen, he transitioned to his current role in Digital Health and Innovation. Carlos builds innovative and strategic digital products for patients.Dr. Steve Hershman is Director of mHealth in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford Medicine where he is leading the MyHeart Counts study and launching a portfolio of new mHealth projects related to pediatric diseases, telerehabilitation, and eConsent-based biobank recruiting. He received a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry, and master’s degrees in both Chemistry and Computer and Information Sciences from the University of Pennsylvania and a PhD in Systems Biology from Harvard University. Dr. Hershman has over a decade of experience tackling technical challenges related to medicine. He previously co-founded Genterpret, a Blueprint Health accelerator company. Steve is also a 2004 alumnus of CEE’s Research Science Institute (RSI).This virtual event was part of CEE’s STEM Lyceums, a series of monthly virtual meetings that engage high school students in discussion and exploration of STEM concepts and unique STEM career pathways, provided at no cost to schools or students. Students interact with STEM professionals and fellow students, both national and international. Meetings foster critical thinking skills, encourage excitement for science, and prepare students to enter STEM careers. CEE’s STEM Lyceums partners include Virginia Bio, United Negro College Fund, and the Urban League of Hampton Roads.About the Center for Excellence in EducationCEE, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was founded in 1983 by the late Admiral H.G. Rickover and Joann P. DiGennaro, President of the Center. The Center’s mission is to nurture high school and university scholars to careers of excellence and leadership in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and to encourage collaboration between and among scientific and technological leaders in the global community. CEE sponsors the Research Science Institute (RSI), USA Biolympiad (USABO), Teacher Enrichment Program (TEP), and STEM Lyceums. CEE programs are provided cost-free to participating students and teachers. The Center works closely with educational institutions, private foundations, corporations, government agencies, and individuals. For more information, visit www.cee.org.Follow CEE on Twitter @CEE1983

Theoretical physicist, philosopher, and international bestselling author Carlo Rovelli joins Lauren and Colin for a conversation about the quest for quantum gravity, the importance of unlearning outdated ideas, and a very unique way to get out of a speeding ticket. Rovelli is a Distinguished Visiting Research Chair at Perimeter Institute. He is also the author of seven popular science books, including The Order of Time, Reality is Not What it Seems, and the breakout bestseller Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, which has been translated into more than 40 languages. Conversations at the Perimeter is co-hosted by Perimeter Teaching Faculty member Lauren Hayward and journalist-turned-science communicator Colin Hunter. In each episode, they chat with a guest scientist about their research, their motivations, the challenges they encounter, and the drive that keeps them searching for answers.The podcast is produced by the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, a not-for-profit, charitable organization supported by a unique public-private model, including the Governments of Ontario and Canada.

They often debate the workings of black holes and the big bang at Perimeter Institute’s blackboards — and sometimes at the breakfast table too. Ghazal Geshnizjani and Niayesh Afshordi split their time between investigating the mysteries of the cosmos and raising their young family. Both are researchers at Perimeter Institute and the University of Waterloo, exploring concepts like the beginning of the universe, the extreme gravity of black hole singularities, the mysteries of dark energy, and other big open questions in astrophysics. Both are also passionate about sparking a love of science in others (including their kids), which led Ghazal to write the illustrated children’s book Bella the Black Hole. In this conversation with Lauren and Colin, they explain the big challenges that drive them, and how their differing individual approaches to research complement one another.Conversations at the Perimeter is co-hosted by Perimeter Teaching Faculty member Lauren Hayward and journalist-turned-science communicator Colin Hunter.
