Reynolds, Alison; Sowell, James R. (Jim); Holdsworth, Liz; Manci, Catherine
Join Georgia Tech Astronomer Jim Sowell and Research Services and Instruction Archivist Alison Reynolds to explore Sir Isaac Newton’s Principia & Opticks. You’ll get a virtual look at the Georgia Tech Archives copies of Newton’s Principia, which established the modern science of dynamics and serves as the basis for the modern study of physics, and Opticks, which provided our modern understanding of light and color. Participants discussed intersections between rare books and science and why these works are pivotal to our current understanding of physics and astronomy.

Loukissas, Yanni; Gupta, Swati
Yanni Loukissas - TITLE: "All Data Are Local". In our data-driven society, it is too easy to assume the transparency of data. Instead, Yanni Loukissas argues in All Data Are Local, we should approach data sets with an awareness that data are created by humans and their dutiful machines, at a time, in a place, with the instruments at hand, for audiences that are conditioned to receive them. The term data set implies something discrete, complete, and portable, but it is none of those things. Examining a series of data sources important for understanding the state of public life in the United States, Loukissas shows us how to analyze data settings rather than data sets.

Swire, Peter P.; Das, Sauvik
Sauvik Das - TITLE: "Social Cybersecurity: Reshaping Security Through an Empirical Understanding of Human Social Behavior". Little is known of the complex social consequences of our security behaviours, and vice versa. Sauvik Das’s work on social cybersecurity bridges this gap. He will present work describing how social influences affect end-user cybersecurity behaviors through a series of empirical studies, including an analysis of how cybersecurity behaviours diffused through the social networks of 1.5 million Facebook users.
