AI conversations: Exploring the human-AI frontier

Imagine stepping onto the shores of an uncharted island. That’s precisely where we find ourselves in the realm of AI. There are no comprehensive maps or well-worn paths to follow. Instead, we’re all explorers in this new territory, and each interaction with AI is an opportunity for discovery.

The Library is stepping onto this frontier by launching a new series of quick AI lessons on our GenAI LibGuide.

These “AI conversations”:https://libguides.csu.edu.au/generativeAI/aiconversations are designed to get you thinking about how we interact with AI tools like Copilot.

What to expect:

  • Short, digestible lessons
  • A mix of practical tips and thought-provoking ideas
  • Some rough edges (just Carlo in his office!)

Topics include embracing AI creativity, the power of asking “why?”, and how to be a collaborative problem solver with AI.

This is very much a work in progress. Your feedback, ideas for new lessons, and experiences using these concepts are all incredibly welcome.

A science PhD candidate exploring protein gene therapy to suppress cancer tumours won the recent Charles Sturt University finals of the Three-Minute Thesis (3MT)© competition held at the University in Port Macquarie.

Ms Sarah Esmaeili (pictured left), a PhD student in the Charles Sturt School of Dentistry and Medical Sciences in the Faculty of Science and Health, won the 3MT finals for her presentation ‘p53: A Target for Cancer Gene Therapy’.

The 3MT competition challenges university PhD students to present their research in just three minutes with a balance of technical depth and public accessibility while using only one projected PowerPoint graphic.

Winning the Charles Sturt 3MT finals means Ms Esmaeili will represent the University in the Asia-Pacific 3MT finals to be held online.

“Winning the Charles Sturt University 3MT competition is an incredible honour,” Ms Esmaeili said. “I’m thrilled to represent our University at the Asia-Pacific 3MT finals.

“I’m deeply passionate about my research and grateful for the opportunity to share it on a larger stage.”

Ms Esmaeili’s research thesis explores the ‘p53’ protein family, which includes p53, p63, and p73, which plays a pivotal role as transcription factors involved in regulating various cellular processes, particularly tumour suppression.

“My research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the nuclear – as in cell nucleus – import mechanisms of the p53 protein family, which could potentially pave the way for the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting nuclear import,” she said.
