What happens when you let robots loose on cancer research? At this program you’ll find out! An automated system takes over the whole workflow: it carefully seeds cancer cells, treats them with different drugs, and snaps detailed images of how the cells respond, all without complaining about overtime. With the robot handling the repetitive steps, you can run more experiments, generate cleaner data, and feed it straight into the AI models to spot new patterns, helping us speed up discoveries and dream a little bigger about the future of cancer treatment.

Political Cartoons as Visual Commentaries: The Illustrated History of America
Political cartoonists have covered a wide range of topics via their thought-provoking illustrations during various moments in American history. Some of these cartoons might be candid, educational, satirical, funny, and even puzzling, but generally, all of them are sharply observant of the changes in American society and politics. During the interactive class you can take a look at political cartoons as a medium, as a visual commentary, but also as the illustrated history of America, reflecting on the work of some prominent political cartoonists from various eras. In order to foster and encourage critical thinking, the illustrations will be analyzed in their historical context in order to discuss their intended meaning and message, and how they reflect the given time period. The lecturer is Dániel Cseh, Senior Assistant Professor at the Department of American Studies, Eötvös Loránd University.
