The Research Computing Center has hosted Show and Tell: Visualizing the Life of the Mind, a speaker series focusing on the practical application, art, and science of visualization in research and scholarship. Speakers have used visualization for many purposes, with previous topics including creating effective scientific graphics, images, and figures; advancing novel human-computer interfaces to create digital art; visualizing and measuring social data in text; use of advanced optical techniques in fluid physics; and virtual studies of musculoskeletal form and function. The series features speakers from the University of Chicago as well as from other institutions domestic and international.

RCC has also hosted Collaborations in Computation, a series that brings speakers from Argonne National Laboratory to campus to highlight the partnerships between UChicago and the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility.

See our calendar for upcoming speaker series events.

All RCC speaker series events are open to the public.
