Dr. Z Podcasts

Dr. Ezra Smith studies concussions and the “common cold” of mental illness depression at Colombia University’s Psychophysiology Laboratory led by Dr. Jürgen Kayser. In this episode, we talk about what led Dr. Smith into academia and researching concussions and the normalcy for humans to deal with mental health issues. 6% of the population at any given time suffers from depression

15% of the population has a chance of dealing with major depression the course of their lifetimes

50% of the population has a chance of having a psychological disorder over the course of their lifetime (anxiety disorders, drug abuse, depression, psychosis, cognitive disorders, developmental disorders, personality disorders) Ezra’s specialty is the practice and science of clinical neuropsychology: he works one-on-one with patients living with depression, anxiety, psychosis, and neurodegenerative disorders, and he also studies the pathophysiology of these disorders with an eye towards identifying preclinical biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets.

00 Introduction to the 6As from Zachary S Brooks PhD

Excerpt from The 6As  by Zachary S. Brooks (Dr. Z) – Introduction and LearningIntroduction to the 6AsWhen do you feel the most fulfilled? When do you feel a sweet equilibrium of your mind and spirit while doing an activity? Which moments do you look back on with the fondest sensations? Which moments do you look forward to the most?Everyone has their own answers.I’ve asked myself these questions and for me I am the most fulfilled when I engaged in one of the 6As of life – Athletics, Adventure, Academics, Art, Advocacy, The Human Algorithm.In the following pages, I’ll share my definitions of each A but let’s be clear.Athletics is about movement, not being a professional athlete.Adventure is about the process of discovery and not necessarily extreme adventure.Academics is about reflection and learning, not about getting a degree.Art is about creation, without a label.Advocacy is about helping others without reward.The Human Algorithm is about life processes on planet earth for the 21st century. It’s the hardest to define but the most essential. It is a byproduct of a combination of the other A’s but it is wholly its own mist-like entity.Any wisdom in these pages is like finding a long-lost friend. Others have assessed the world and shared their wisdom before. I claim no special knowledge merely I seek to put an illuminating frame on human practices in order to live life with meaning and purpose. About Dr. ZZachary S. Brooks, PhD, or as his students call him, Dr. Z is an author, speaker, and podcaster. In his book, The 6As: a practical philosophy for living life with meaning and purpose, Zachary shares his secrets to life success. Dr. Brooks played soccer in college and in Europe and regularly competes in international competitions, travels the world and has learned four languages and his working on his fifth, finished his doctorate studying bilingual decision making at the University of Arizona, acted in Hollywood (imdb.com), serves a Board Director for the World Transplant Games Federation, and he’s keenly fascinated in helping the world through the 21st century as a two-time kidney transplant recipient from his father and mother.Dr. Z finds the most fulfillment when he is engaged in one of the 6As of life – Athletics, Adventure, Academics, Art, Advocacy, The Human Algorithm and in his first book of the 6A series he launches his philosophy and brand.

For Academic Years 2018-2020, I am teaching PhD-level regression and machine learning courses in the Department of Psychology at Princeton University. My academic webpage: https://psych.princeton.edu/person/ting-qian I am a method-oriented “Data Scientist”​ who focuses on designing the optimal statistical / machine learning models in order to discover hidden patterns in data. I am NOT a software engineer by trade. I am not interested in positions where the primary responsibility is to create software that implements or uses off-the-shelf machine learning algorithms. I am interested in positions where I, together with coworkers, solve difficult data inference problems. My specialty is in conducting probabilistic inferences on generative models using Bayesian methods. Specifically, I am specialized in clustering and segmenting seemingly unstructured data. Dr. Ting Qian wordcloud

I also develop statistics software for Bayesian inference utilizing GPU in my free time. Progress is slow, but I’d like to focus on this a bit more. I believe GPU-based Bayesian inference will change how we process streaming data. I was formally trained as a computational cognitive scientist (my PhD is in Brain and Cognitive Sciences). My research tries to uncover how humans and animals understand “the order of things”​. For example, how come we understand the concept of “seasons”​? What does it mean for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter to rotate in such an order? Is the perception of orderly weather patterns the reason why we understand the concept “seasons”​? I still find these questions fascinating.

In this episode of How to Algorithms, I’ll ask Jewelz about  Social Influencer Definition

How easy is it? Short answer: It is not as easy as it looks. It requires logistics and planning. Like what?

You have to Learn the Algorithm. That sounds complicated. What does it entail?

You have to want to make a difference to get an audience.
