Transformed! Information, Bioscience and Web 2.0<\/a><\/h3>\n

October 7, 2008 6-9 PM
\nLake Washington Rowing Club<\/a>
\n910 N. Northlake Way
\nSeattle WA<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The seminar will be given by Richard Gayle, Ph.D. and Mark Minie, Ph.D. It is geared for a general audience that includes researchers, lawyers, clinicians and anyone else interested in using modern technology to solve today’s problems. It will have three segments:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Transformation of Information into Knowledge<\/strong>
    \nKnowledge is the ability to make a decision, to perform an action. The knowledge creation cycle begins with data. Human social interactions transform data into knowledge. Social networks evolved to provide primates with diverse solutions to complex problems. However, there appear to be hardwired barriers to the size of these social networks, limiting the scope and complexities of the problems that can be solved. The huge amount of information being generated overwhelms these barriers. The difficult problems facing us today are too complex to be solved only the tools we evolved. We must use new digital tools to amplify our inherent abilities.<\/li>\n
  2. The Transformation of Bioscience by Information<\/strong>
    \nBiology is now a branch of Information Science, and important new research, discovery and invention is taking place on the World Wide Web. From computer gaming\/education to personal genomics, biological engineering and robotics, bioscience is undergoing a true renaissance with previously unexpected impact and dividends. This segment will explore bioscience\u2019s new life on the Internet. It will focus on specific examples and new tools with potential practical uses for both scientists and non-scientists alike.<\/li>\n
  3. The Web 2.0 Transformation<\/strong>
    \nWeb 2.0 is about online conversations. These tools often remove the need for people to occupy the same space at the same time in order to transform information into knowledge. They permit the examination and understanding of human social networks many times larger than our hardwired limits. This enhances the ability to create knowledge and to increase the rate of diffusion of information in an organization. Communities that can use Web 2.0 tools to leverage human social networks will solve complex problems more rapidly than those that do not.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There is a glut of data in the world today. Our normal processes to deal with this glut \u2013 the interactions in a human social network \u2013 are overwhelmed. However, the same technologies that are permitting such huge amount of data to be created can also help us enhance our social network interactions, providing organizations with the possibility of solving much more complex problems than before.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Please join us on October 7 as we provide a foundation for understanding how Bioscience is being transformed by information and how we can use novel tools to leverage this transformation into critical solutions .<\/p>\n

    Until September 23, the cost is $175. After that date it rises to $225. So register early!<\/a>
