Join us for an enlightening webinar focused on assessing the ecological quality of urban streams within the One Health framework. Our event will take you on a journey through the research sites of OneAquaHealth, with representatives from 5 European cities ( (https://www.oneaquahealth.eu/research-cities/coimbra/), (https://www.oneaquahealth.eu/research-cities/toulouse/), (https://www.oneaquahealth.eu/research-cities/benevento/), (https://www.oneaquahealth.eu/research-cities/toulouse/?_ga=2.250121167.852418450.1738749213-1337597414.1738749213), and (https://www.oneaquahealth.eu/research-cities/oslo/)) showcasing their unique attributes, sampling endeavors, and local partnerships. Additionally, we will delve into discussions on interactions with non-project sites across the EU and US, highlighting potential challenges and fostering collaboration to ensure project sustainability. Urban aquatic ecosystems are extremely relevant connectors between people, animals and plants, making cities more biodiverse and sustainable. Yet, these ecosystems are often confronted with lack of space, cuts of vegetation, artificialization, and other urbanisation processes. This degradation can lead to numerous disservices to humans in regard to emerging pathogens, decreasing disease resistance, climate change impacts and other health concerns in cities. OneAquaHealth aims to improve the sustainability and integrity of freshwater ecosystems in urban environments. By investigating the interconnection of ecosystem health and human wellbeing, the project will identify early warning indicators and enhance environmental monitoring with AI-assisted tools. As a result, the project will support decision-makers in finding adequate and timely decisions as well as effective measures to restore aquatic ecosystems health and promote OneHealth.

This is the annual IEEE SFBA Consumer Technology Society (CTSoc) event providing a summary of the latest and unique tech innovations from the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. This event has proven to be very popular as many people working in related industries do not get to attend CES. CES's focus has expanded to beyond consumer electronic devices to many (https://www.ces.tech/exhibits/product-categories.aspx) including wearables, smart homes, robotics, drones, medical and healthcare devices, etc. 2024 IEEE President, Tom Coughlin and Region 6 Director, Joseph Wei, both are past-chairs of SFBA CTSoc will share highlights of the unique tech solutions at CES that may not have been covered by the mainstream media. This will be an in-person event, and the room has limited capacity. Register early, do not miss this event to get a glance in the future of consumer technologies. Previous CES Download and other meetings slides and recordings are available for viewing at https://site.ieee.org/scv-ces/recent-events/. This is a FREE event for IEEE members who provide their IEEE membership # when registering, and $10 for non-IEEE members (no refunds).

Artificial Intelligence approaches could be transformative toward identifying strategies for preservation of good health with advancing age. AI researchers can exploit computationally intense algorithms to assist humans in making sense of large, complex data sets with patterns that may not be detected using parametric statistical methods. An overarching question now in the aging field is whether AI, machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) approaches would be useful tools for identifying the genetic basis of exceptional health and life span. With this background, Dr. Ronjon Nag will discuss the following areas during this presentation: - Can AI make you live longer with better, smart diets? - Can AI help you exercise better? - Can AI detect cancerous cells and destroy them? - Can you upload your brain to a machine and live forever? Speaker(s): Ronjon Nag, Room: 225, Bldg: Heafey, Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, California, United States, 95053, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/452858
