Statewide Gardening Information and Soil Testing ScheduleFrom March through October, our URI Master Gardener volunteers offer free soil pH testing to Rhode Island residents, helping you understand your soil's health and providing recommendations for improvement. Bring a soil sample to the event and our experts will determine its pH levels and texture, offering guidance on achieving optimal soil conditions for your gardening needs.Additionally, explore our Gardening Information and Soil Testing (GIST) booth, where you can ask gardening questions and access a wealth of resources to support your horticultural goals.Learn how to take a soil sample and access the statewide schedule by visiting: uri.edu/coopext/services/gist

URI Department of Art and Art History presentsREVELATIONS! Education: Behind The Curtain – In Words and Images Exhibition September 15- December 11Join us for a reception and art conversations on September 17 4:30-7 in Lippitt Hall 401What is it like being in the classroom? What challenges do educator’s face? What restrictions are there preventing education from occurring? Are the requirements, expectations and limitations changing the way Educators function? What are the successes - giving students the opportunity to find their expressive voice?This exhibit will include the artwork and voices of a group of area educators from public, private and independent educational settings on all levels. The artist/educators will share their creative voices in various forms of expression as they also reflect on the challenges and celebrations they experience in and out of the classroom.Among the more than twenty artists are: Mary Jane Andreozzi, Deanna Camputaro, Ruth Clegg, Raff Diaz, Raphael Diaz, Tamara Diaz, Melanie Ducharme, Adam Ferbert, Susan Garland, Melissa Guillet, Catherine Davis-Hayes, Chris Kelley, Susan Kolenda, Jason Robert LaClair, Don Mays, Kerry Murphy, Sam Peck, Lisa Marie Ricci-Russo, Monique Rolle-Johnson, Jade Sisti, Janice Lee Strain, John Tedeschi, Katie Walck.On exhibit in URI Lippitt Hall (3rd & 4th floor), Green Hall and The Higgins Welcome CenterOpen To Monday – Friday 7:30-4:30, closed weekends and holidaysFor information: (401)286-4620/ spennell@uri.eduVisit URInvolved for complete event details.

The Institute for AI & Computational Research is continuing the series of talks on AI/ML techniques and applications across various scientific domains. We envision the talks to strike a good balance between depth and breath. The goal of these talks will be to (i) introduce the particular AI/ML technique to fellow faculty and graduate students who have a basic understanding of deep learning and (ii) present a variety of applications in different domains without assuming deep domain knowledge. Each event will start with a 45 minute talk with 15 minutes for questions and a subsequent 30 minute networking session for brainstorming and further discussion. The speakers will be faculty from a number of URI colleges or nearby universities.We are kicking off our fall seminar series with the talk below and are looking forward to see many of you at the seminar!Speaker: Scott Field (Umass Dartmouth) Date/Time/Location: Sept 18, 3pm, Memorial Union room 308. Title: Physics-Informed Machine Learning for Modeling Orbital Dynamics in Binary Black Hole SystemsAbstract: Einstein’s field equations of general relativity are among the most challenging differential equations in physics. They predict that two black holes can collide, producing powerful distortions of spacetime—gravitational waves. The first direct detection of these waves in 2016 marked a historic milestone, recognized by a Nobel Prize. In this talk, I will introduce the problem of binary black hole collisions and the role of gravitational waves. These waves can be studied either by numerically solving Einstein’s equations (the forward problem) or by analyzing experimental detections to infer their sources (the inverse problem). I will present a machine learning framework that discovers the governing dynamical model of binary black hole motion. Our approach begins with universal ordinary differential equations parameterized by feed-forward neural networks, and employs physics-informed constrained optimization to explore a space of plausible models. Applied to a variety of systems, this method enables forward extrapolation and automatically uncovers relativistic effects such as perihelion precession and radiation reaction. I will close by highlighting challenges and opportunities for extending these ideas to other areas of science and engineering.

AI Tools provides a comprehensive introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) for students of all disciplines. The course introduces students to various AI tools that can enhance their academic performance and overall college experience. Students will learn how to leverage AI technologies to improve study habits, enhance research skills, and augment their creativity. Through interactive sessions and hands-on activities, students will gain practical knowledge and skills to use AI tools for academic and personal success in college.Zoom Registration Link: https://uri-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/Vhi5ZF34Tx2PEw92VEZQhA
