Information Landscape Workshops | Vibe Coding 101: An Introduction to AI-Assisted Coding
In this workshop, we'll explore the brief but eventful history of vibe coding, examine/compare the tools and techniques that make it work and discuss best practices for using AI to build useful applications. Then we'll put theory into practice: together, we'll vibe code a working application, demonstrating how the skills we learn translate into this new form of making.
In February 2025, AI researcher Andrej Karpathy coined the term "vibe coding" to describe a new approach to programming: describing what you want in plain English and letting AI generate the code. The term became Collins Dictionary's 2025 Word of the Year, and the practice has since exploded, with some estimates suggesting that over 80% of developers now use AI coding tools daily. What started as a playful tweet to refer to "throwaway weekend projects" has become the subject of serious debate about the future of software, the value of technical skills and even the sustainability of the open source ecosystem that powers the internet.

Information Landscape Workshops | Healthy Skepticism: Evaluating Online Health Information in the Age of Reddit and TikTok
From trending health hacks on TikTok to deeply personal stories shared in Reddit communities, the internet has become a major source of health information and support. These platforms can be incredibly empowering, but the viral nature of social media also means that misleading or dangerous health claims can spread quickly and be hard to spot. This workshop explores the complicated landscape of online health information, helping you think critically about what you see and share. Through the lens of lateral reading — a strategy used by professional fact-checkers to verify online claims — you will learn how to investigate sources, cross-check information and identify red flags. Using real examples from social media, we’ll walk through a step-by-step process for evaluating a health claim. At the end of this workshop, you’ll have practical tools for navigating the flood of online health content with greater confidence and care.

Charles, the pompous, often detested, oldest brother of the Byrne family, is murdered in the theatre where his latest play is having a reading. His two sisters, Maude and Virginia, and their brother, James, gather in the theatre to summon his ghost and uncover his murderer. Intimately involved in this affair are Charles’ estranged wife, Elvira, and long-time family friend, George. Their seance not only allows them to commune with the spirit of Charles but also stirs the ire of another spectre who holds a terrible family secret.

Annual Wellner Lecture - Carl Bergstrom (University of Washington) - Modern Day Oracles or Bullshit Machines: Teaching and Learning in a ChatGPT World
University of Idaho - SCI
Large language models (LLMs) have upended education. Students and faculty alike are struggling with the pace of change. Over the past two years, Jevin West and I have developed a general education course Modern Day Oracles or Bullshit Machines, for every college freshman and high school student wanting to reflect on what it means to be human in an LLM-infused world. The course takes a collaborative learning approach to a fundamental question grounded in the humanities: how can we learn and thrive with LLMs? In this talk, I provide a overview of the course, discuss what we have learned about teaching undergraduates to think about what it means to be a learner, scholar, and human being in a ChatGPT world, and reflect on the challenges of teaching about this rapidly-evolving technology.

Information Landscape Workshops | Healthy Skepticism: Evaluating Online Health Information in the Age of Reddit and TikTok
From trending health hacks on TikTok to deeply personal stories shared in Reddit communities, the internet has become a major source of health information and support. These platforms can be incredibly empowering, but the viral nature of social media also means that misleading or dangerous health claims can spread quickly and be hard to spot. This workshop explores the complicated landscape of online health information, helping you think critically about what you see and share. Through the lens of lateral reading — a strategy used by professional fact-checkers to verify online claims — you will learn how to investigate sources, cross-check information and identify red flags. Using real examples from social media, we’ll walk through a step-by-step process for evaluating a health claim. At the end of this workshop, you’ll have practical tools for navigating the flood of online health content with greater confidence and care.

Carl T. Bergstrom - Mathematical models illuminate the impediments to high-risk, high-return research.
University of Idaho - SCI
Scientific researchers may be driven by curiosity, but they are constrained by the realities of the scientific ecosystems in which they operate and motivated by the incentives with which they are confronted. We can use mathematical models of the research enterprise to understand how scientific norms and institutions shape the questions we ask, the efficiency with which we work, and the discoveries we make about the world around us. In this talk I present a trio of mathematical models aimed at revealing why scientists are reluctant propose and conduct high-risk research. In the first vignette we look at how peer review filters — ex ante review as for grant proposals and ex post review as for completed manuscripts — shape the types of questions that researchers pursue. In the second vignette, we develop an economic “hidden action” model to explore how the unobservability of risk and effort discourages risky research. In the third, we look at how competition for high profile publications, prizes, and jobs can i…

Seminar description:
Understanding actinide-ligand covalency is at the center of efforts to design new separations schemes for spent nuclear fuel, and thus features considerable practical importance. NMR spectroscopy is a widely available means of measuring 5f covalency that is complementary to more established methods, such optical spectroscopy and XANES. However, its use for this purpose is still in its infancy. Herein, I will discuss our efforts to develop 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy for the evaluation of An-L covalency in a wide variety of diamagnetic actinide complexes, including thorium allenylidenes, uranium borohydrides, and thorium hydrides.
