Internal complications may arise including: - Overcoming imposter syndrome. - Discomfort sharing ideas when you aren’t prepared. - Nerves that cause you to mumble, speak fast or in a high-pitched voice, and so on. Then there are the external hurdles of being: - Interrupted,… read more
Divya Choudhary Senior Research Scientist (AI/ML) at Samsung Research America	The art of formulating a business desire to an AI Research Framework To implement and add a software/ML feature to an existing product requires development skills.

In this talk, we will be highlighting how qualitative, and quantitative… read more

Karlyn Fischer Neural-optimization coach at Animology	Re-engineer your Headspace Everyone is passionate about mental health, but no one redirects that to optimize your mind. The under-thirties community is full of nervous system dysregulation and stories about triggers and anxiety. The talented ones don’t always make it, but it’s not because they aren’t tough enough or they don’t work hard enough. The lack of awareness about the science behind the mind cost me an auto-immune condition; what is it costing you and your audience? I was an overachiever in engineering school, too sick to roll over in bed for the water on my nightstand. I ignored my body’s… read more
