New Food Recognition Technology Lets Devices See What’s on Your Plate—To Help You Decide Whether to Eat It
Computer vision—emulation of the human visual system—is enabling groundbreaking advances that allow computers to act and react like humans. Applications for computer vision range from monitoring activities at crowded events, to warning drivers of imminent danger, to self-steered robots that can navigate objects easily. For decades, SRI’s computer vision researchers have pioneered development of technologies…

A Design Inquiry: Bridging Assessment and Curriculum Frameworks to Engage Students in Science Practices
This reflective inquiry delves into the collaborative design process of a technology based middle school genetics unit. With a lens on science practices, we describe how bridging assessment and curriculum design frameworks can inform decisions in an iterative co-design process.

Curation Accuracy of Model Organism Databases
We assessed the accuracy of EcoCyc and CGD by manually selecting curated assertions within randomly chosen EcoCyc and CGD gene pages and by then validating that the data found in the referenced publications supported those assertions.
