At the same time the Can adian Society of Senior Engineers (CSSE) is using their national organizat ion to provide information\, the subject and speaker to members across Can ada.\n\nThe February meeting of the Edmonton Chapter of CSSE will be held on Thursday February 15\, 2024. The Meeting will open at 12:30 pm MST (2:3 0pm Eastern)\, with the presentation starting at 12:45 (2:45pm EST). If yo u plan to attend and be included on the Zoom invite for this meeting pleas e respond to Tom Madsen\, tcmadsen@telus.net\, before noon on Wednesday Fe bruary 14. The meeting will be held via the Zoom platform with the actual invitations sent the afternoon of Wednesday February 14.\n\nPlease note th e meeting originates in Alberta which is in the Mountain Time Zone\, so if you are in another province you must account for any necessary time shift .\n\nPresentation: Advancing the Bio-Economy with AI and ML\n\nThe world i s responding to the environmental burdens of humanity such as GHG emission s\, plastic and other wastes. As we work to deal with these population ind uced and behavioural problems\, biology would appear to offer the only rea listic long term answers. Most of our issues relate to carbon\, hydrogen a nd oxygen – as they are the basic building blocks for many of the produc ts we use. We have transitioned to using fossilized hydrocarbons\, but the molecules involved in these materials are almost all produced naturally b y Mother Nature. Industrializing Mother Nature by increasing biological pr oductivity and reducing her geographic foot print is the key to accelerati ng the carbon cycle and reducing negative impacts.\n\nSynBioBlox Innovatio ns\, is well down the path of doing just that with leading-edge tools and processes that are demonstrating their potential to speed up development o f enhanced biological organisms with tailored designs that can achieve the productivity and efficiency required for economic viability. This present ation will explain how this work is moving forward right here in Edmonton in areas as diverse as food\, cosmetics and fuel.\n\nSpeaker: John McDouga ll\, P.Eng.
