The Future of Work  “MIT hasn’t just prepared me for the future of work — it’s pushed me to study it,” says MIT Sloan PhD candidate Benjamin Manning. “As AI systems become more capable, more of our online activity will be carried out by artificial agents. That raises big questions: How should we design these systems to understand our preferences? What happens when AI begins making many of our decisions?” Full story via MIT News → Top Headlines Artificial tendons give muscle-powered robots a boost The new design from MIT mechanical engineers could pump up many biohybrid builds.

Full story via MIT Spectrum→ Celebrating the advancement of technology leadership through policy analysis and guidance The MIT Technology and Policy Program marked 50 years with a symposium exploring its history of education, research, and impact — while looking ahead to technology policy issues of the future. Full story via MIT News → #ThisisMIT Follow @mit on Instagram→ In the Media New ways to combat the antibiotic apocalypse // The Naked Scientists Associate Professor Bryan Bryson discusses his efforts to find targets for a new tuberculosis vaccine, as the current version, which is very effective in children, does not sufficiently protect adolescents and adults. “Right now, we only have one TB vaccine that’s over 100 years old,” said Bryson. “And for me as an engineer, if somebody tells you there’s a 100-year-old technology that doesn’t work the way that you want it to, you want to say, let’s build a better one.”  Full story via The Naked Scientists→ Meet Your MIT Neighbor Name: Madeline Morocco MIT affiliation: Quantum engineer at Lincoln Laboratory What you work on: As a member of the superconducting qubit measurement team, I often can be found wiring up superconducting qubit devices, operating a dilution refrigerator, and performing measurements and experiments on said devices. Why Lincoln is a good fit: As an early-career scientist, I have found the laboratory’s environment has allowed me to grow and flourish as I develop my research skills. Activities outside of work: I took a woodcarving class … and recently started taking drum lessons. I also enjoy reading, trying out new coffee shops with friends, and printmaking. Where do you find inspiration? From my friends! Seeing them build their careers and take the steps they need to work toward their goals is truly inspiring.
