This Leading Edge webinar explores the dynamic relationship between AI and human behavior, uncovering how algorithms influence decision-making, shape societal norms, and even alter cognitive processes.
The biopharma industry has been continuously growing and progressing with digital transformation. The Symposium will highlight the Current Status and Promise of mRNA Biotherapeutics and introduce Innovation in mRNA Biotherapeutics Manufacturing at MIT.
Join us at the 2024 MIT Seoul Life Science Symposium, organized by KoreaBio (Korea Biotechnology Industry Organization) and MIT ILP. The symposium will also bring you closer to the MIT Life Science Innovation Ecosystem and allow you to explore global trends in MIT’s innovative Drug Discovery and Manufacturing research and experiments from leading MIT faculty and MIT-connected startups.
City governments and planners alike commonly seek to increase pedestrian activity on city streets as part of broader sustainability, community building and economic development strategies. Though walkability has received ample attention in planning literature, most practitioners still lack methods and tools for predicting how development proposals could impact pedestrian activity on specific streets or public spaces at different times of the day. Cities typically require traffic impact assessments, but not pedestrian impact assessments. In this presentation I discuss a methodology for estimating pedestrian trip generation and distribution between detailed origins and destinations in both existing and planned built environments. I demonstrate its application in Cambridge, MA and Melbourne, Australia, where I compare estimated foot-traffic during lunch and evening peak periods to observed pedestrian counts and show how the model can be used to predict changes in foot-traffic that results from changes in real-estate development.
