I love computer

Hi Everyone,
How do you make time to cook healthy meals in the summer? What even is a healthy meal? What are some quick and easy ways to stay on budget? How do I make a budget?
Join the Computer Science Department this Sunday, May 16th at 10am to learn the ins and out of living on your own (or at home!) and staying on track.

Feel free to share with friends outside the department!

Join the CS Department on Saturday April 10th at 1:00pm for our first in a series of CS topic boot camps! *

No prior programming or computer science experience necessary!

What makes a computer “think”? How does a computer learn? What is image recognition? Build a convolutional neural network to predict what breed a dog is in just 2hrs!
Feel free to share with non CS friends!

*The first bootcamp will be hosted by the CS Liaisons (aka me and Sophia) but after that some CS and Engineering groups will be helping us explore their niche topics!If your club is interested in hosting a bootcamp please email me at [email protected]

Hi everyone!

Last year, a contingent of Yale CS and CPAR majors virtually attended the AfroTech World, Grace Hopper Celebration, and SACNAS conferences. On Friday, April 2 at 4 PM, they will be describing and discussing their experiences at these conferences, such as what they saw, and who they met. Come to hear about these experiences, and find out how you can help send a Yale contingent (which may include you!) to the same conferences next year.

Hi All,

The Women in Science at Yale (WISAY) and the Women in Science at the Nencki Institute (WISaN) in Poland have joined together to host a virtual discussion with Prof. Eileen Pollack.

Prof. Pollack is one of the first two women to earn a Bachelors of Science from the Physics Department at Yale, and the author of the book “The Only Woman in the Room: Why Science Is Still a Boys' Club”.

This event will take place on March 25th at 1PM ET, and will provide an opportunity for scientists in Poland and the United States to learn from Prof. Pollack’s research on the cultural, social, psychological, and institutional barriers confronting women in STEM, to brainstorm with allies on how to promote gender equity in STEM internationally, and to form new networks with scientists from another institution.

Dear All,

The Computer Science Department is devastated to hear of Professor Eisenstat's passing.
He touched the lives of every computer science student and faculty member and has been a member of the Yale community for nearly 50 years.
We are collecting memories of Professor Eisenstat that will be compiled in a book and sent to his family.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could take a few minutes out of your day and submit your memories and stories below:
