A graphic containing an image of David Sussillo, his book cover, and a brief description of the book itself. There is a message from SPAN inviting those interested in a pre-read to email danielle.williams@purdue.edu. SPAN will provide a complimentary book to those interested in attending. Caption: David is a research scientist at Google in the Google Brain group and a faculty member in the Electrical Engineering Department at Stanford University. His research focuses on computational modeling of biological neural circuits and the interface of systems neuroscience and deep learning. In this special session, we will be discussing his new book which describes a remarkable journey of resilience and transformation. From the chaotic corridors of group homes to the halls of Columbia and Stanford, EMERGENCE is a coming-of-age tale where heartbreak and humor meet the scientific wonder of modern artificial intelligence.

We're excited to announce a special SPAN at the PSA 'Meet the Author' session with @sussillodavid.bsky.social! Join us as we discuss David's new book. If you are interested in pre-reading and attending, please email us (details below).
