Dr. Steven Wilcox, Applied Economics (USU) "Identifying the Casual Contribution of Pluvial Dust to Local PM2.5: A Particle-Hours Exposure Framework for the Bonneville Basin"
DSAI Center Seminar
Conference/Seminar
Speaker: Kirthevasan Kandasamy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Title: Incentivizing truthful data sharing in collaborative machine learning and data marketplaces Abstract: Modern data marketplaces and data sharing consortia increasingly rely on incentive mechanisms to encourage agents to contribute data. However, schemes that reward agents based solely on the quantity of submitted data are vulnerable to manipulation. Existing approaches for incentivizing truthful data contributions typically rely on strong assumptions about the underlying data distribution or restrictive models of strategic behavior, limiting their practical applicability. In this talk, I will present our recent work addressing these challenges

What Disney Didn't Tell You - A Tour of the Original Grimm Fairy Tales: An Aggie Talks Event
Panel Discussion/Presentation
Think you know Cinderella, Snow White, or Sleeping Beauty? Think again. For most Americans, these stories feel like Disney inventions, but their true origins are far older, stranger, and more fascinating. During this presentation, USU Researcher Claudia Schwabe will take the audience on a journey back 200 years to discover the "original" fairy tales collected by two German brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. You'll learn that these tales were filled with sharp moral lessons, psychological terror, and bizarre magic. The Grimms’ world is a place where justice is brutal, the woods are truly terrifying, and “happily ever after” often comes with a dark price.

FOREVER PLAID
Written and Originally Directed & Choreographed by Stuart Ross
“Once upon a time, there were four guys (Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie) who discovered that they shared a love for music... Rehearsing in the basement of Smudge's family's plumbing supply company, they became "Forever Plaid". On the way to their first big gig, the "Plaids" are broadsided by a school bus and killed instantly. It is at this moment when their careers and lives end that the story of Forever Plaid begins.”

Community Art Day
Arts/Entertainment
Join us for a Community Art Day inspired by legendary photographer Ansel Adams and his striking black-and-white image The Grand Tetons and the Snake River, Wyoming. Adams was known for capturing the grandeur of the American West using only light, shadow, and masterful composition. His photographs invite us to see nature as both powerful and sacred. In this hands-on activity, you’ll create your own black-and-white landscape using black paper and white drawing tools. Focus on shapes, contrast, and mood—no color needed! Let the lines of the river or the peaks of the mountains guide your imagination as you craft a dramatic scene using only light and dark. We will be at the Farmer’s Market in Logan from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm.
