Outreach

Commodores @ Home AI (CHAI)

The Center for AI in Protein Dynamics (CHAI) is a new initiative focusing on the intersection of artificial intelligence and protein dynamics research. We are dedicated to training the next generation of scientists and innovators by providing them with resources, access, and education to digital technologies.

Our program bridges the digital divide by providing a case-based approach to protein dynamics research. Through our CHAI program, we strive to create an inclusive environment that encourages creativity, collaboration, and innovation in protein dynamics.

School for Science and Math at Vanderbilt (SSMV)

The School for Science and Math at Vanderbilt, a program of the Collaborative for STEM Education and Outreach, hosted an incredible AI Forum organized by Ana Villanueva, Ph.D., to introduce the power of AI to High School students. An additional goal of this forum was to modify the existing AI Bill of Rights to be accessible to a student population, which was facilitated by Sarah Burriss, Ph.D., of the NSF-funded AI Institute. Vanderbilt Basic Sciences Kendra H. Oliver, Ph.D., M.P.S., representing the AI Center for Protein Dynamics and Simulation, facilitated a session on visual science communication that served as a foundation for student-generated infographics on the five AI Bill of Rights principles.
