April 2026 Talk
Abstract
This community call will explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping short-format training and professional development in the life sciences. In an informal show-and-tell format, participants are invited to share papers, experiences, teaching strategies, tools, and ideas that are influencing how they think about AI in workshops, boot camps, short courses, and other forms of short-format training. Topics may include AI tools that enhance training design or delivery, approaches for teaching about AI, concerns and opportunities related to learner use of AI, and examples of new content being developed around AI. As always, the goal is exchange: to share practical experiences, spark new ideas, and help the community think together about how AI can support more effective and adaptable professional development.
