Zoom talk of potential interest...Prof. Barry Gilbert The Origin And Evolution of X-Ray Computed Tomography at Mayo Clinic, 1960-1980
by Jeffrey Yost 20 Apr '23

20 Apr '23

Dear Colleagues, Helping a colleague in Electrical and Computer Engineering here at UMN to promote a talk tomorrow on the underlying computing technology of CT, in which the speaker Prof. Barry Gilbert will present that CT is at least in part a Mayo/Minnesota story... The time of 4pm is Central Time and Zoom link and title, speaker, and abstract are below. Thanks. Best, Jeff Date: April 20, 2023 Time: 4pm Location: Zoom, https://umn.zoom.us/j/94220596055 Host: Prof. Marc Riedel Speaker: Prof. Barry Gilbert Title: The Origin And Evolution of X-Ray Computed Tomography at Mayo Clinic, 1960-1980 Abstract: The advent of X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) in the 1970s is commonly attributed to a now-defunct British company. In fact, the earliest work on X-ray CT began at Mayo Clinic in the early 1960s with a long series of engineering developments carried out by a staff of 50 individuals, which continued until the late 1970s. A significant number of technical “firsts” occurred during those years, virtually all of which appear in modern rotating-gantry machines. This two-decade history, with a review of some of these breakthroughs, will be described in this seminar, by one of the engineers (BKG) who contributed to the successful development of the prototype first-article demonstrator. Bio: Barry Gilbert is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Director of the Special-Purpose Processor Development Group at Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN, an AIMBE Fellow and an IEEE Life Fellow. He received a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Purdue and a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from U. Minnesota and Mayo Clinic. Since 1970 his research interests have been in the design of hardware for specialized supercomputers. His team has designed more than 450 integrated circuits, and has contributed to the development of more than two dozen special purpose computers, from chip-sized processors to cabinet-size supercomputers. *Please connect at:* *Mastodon <https://mastodon.social/@JustCodeCulture> Twitter <https://twitter.com/justcodeculture> ** Linkedin <https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffrey-yost-b714566>* *Jeffrey Yost, Ph.D. * Director, Charles Babbage Institute <http://www.cse.umn.edu/cbi>; Research Professor, History Sci/Tech/Med 222 21st Avenue South, University of Minnesota; Minneapolis, MN 55455 *Studies in Computing and Culture book series, Johns Hopkins U.

SIGCIS: new co-chair & opportunities to get involved
by Melanie Swalwell 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

Dear SIGCIS, Further to Andrew Russell's notification that he has now stepped down as co-chair of SIGCIS, I would also like to pay tribute to him for his leadership of and service to the community. Working with Andy (and the rest of the Executive team) for the past 2 years has been a delight; a definite highlight of my involvement with the SIG. Andy has been a generous and gracious collaborator, not only showing me the ropes, but also tolerating late night zoom calls to accommodate the time differences. I am writing to give a quick refresher of the structure of the SIGCIS leadership team and let you know of some opportunities to get involved in the running of the SIG that are the result of some other changes. Much of this is behind the scenes so I thought it would be useful to lay it out explicitly. First, the refresher. For the last couple of years, Andy and I have shared the Chair role. Sharing the role has worked very well. It has provided continuity, organisational memory, and helped to set up a sort of rotation, with the potential benefits that renewal brings. We have been working with a newish structure for the past 2 years, with Vice Chairs for Finance, Meetings, Operations and Communications. The incumbents are listed at the top of this page: https://www.sigcis.org/officers. This brings me to my second point, regarding a couple of other imminent changes. In the interests of setting up continuity and rotation, I asked Elizabeth Petrick if she'd consider joining me as co-chair and I'm very happy that she's agreed to. Liz has been serving as the Communications Vice-chair since late 2020 as well as on the Mahoney Prize committee, so she has a good grasp of the SIG and its rhythms and organisation throughout the year. Jason Gallo has also indicated that he would like to start transitioning out of the Operations role. Jason has been a fabulous manager of the SIG's operations for many years. We have all benefited from his efforts both behind the scenes -- on listserv and website logistics -- and the more public facing tasks he's taken care of at the annual meetings. As such, we are now calling for two new Vice Chairs, for Communications and for Operations. While we need to update the list of responsibilities (the overlaps are fairly glaring), here's a rough list for the 2 positions, to give you an idea: Vice Chair, Communications: 1. Administer the SIGCIS email list, recruit and oversee volunteer list moderators, and enforce the Acceptable Use Policy with volunteer list moderators. 2. Update the SIGCIS website with regular (conference and prize announcements) and ad hoc content, as needed. 3. Regularly monitor the website for new account applications, approve legitimate account applications, delete spam accounts, and create email accounts for legitimate applicants. 4. Maintain the SIGCIS online membership directory, reviewing and editing entries as needed. 5. Oversee SIGCIS presence on social media (including Twitter coverage of the SIGCIS conference) 6. Recruit and manage a team of volunteers to help accomplish the above tasks. 7. Deputize the Chair, as needed. Vice Chair, Operations 1. Attend and help to run all SIGCIS events at the SHOT annual meeting, including the business lunch and SIG workshop. 2. Administer the SIGCIS email lists (including maintain and enforcing the acceptable use policy). 3. Edit material and policy documents on the SIGCIS website dealing with the SIG and its activities. 4. Maintain the SIG's online membership directory, reviewing and editing entries as needed and prompting members when entries are in need of update or clarification. 5. Welcome new members to the SIG and create accounts as needed. 6. Organize Executive Committee meetings. While this might seem like a long list of jobs, these are not onerous roles. There is scope to recruit others to help with both, as needed. Ideally, these teams can then become a pool for future promotion to Vice Chair, and eventually Chair. I would encourage anyone who is interested in getting more involved in the running of the SIG to consider nominating. If now is not the right time for you to volunteer for one of these roles, then please consider it in the future. It's a great way to get involved in the running of the SIG and have a different level of interaction with some wonderful scholars! To nominate yourself, please send a brief email to mswalwell(a)swin.edu.au<mailto:mswalwell@swin.edu.au> and elizabeth.petrick(a)gmail.com<mailto:elizabeth.petrick@gmail.com> with an introduction and what you think you can bring to the role of either Vice Chair Communications or Operations, by April 15. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have.

Labor Tech Research Network <https://www.labortechresearchnetwork.org/> (LaborTech) invites submissions for our second annual Book and Graduate Student Paper Awards, and first annual Social Justice Award. We welcome historical and STS perspectives! *About Us* LaborTech is an interdisciplinary and transnational group of experts concerned with the intersection of technology and labor. We aim to reframe conversations about technology and labor towards issues of power, inequality, and social justice, and incorporate themes of feminism, anti-racism, and transnationalism. We also seek to foster an interdisciplinary, cross-regional, and community-oriented space for discussion, collaboration, and empowerment. For a deeper discussion of our mission, please see the 'About Us' <http://labortechresearchnetwork.org/index.php/about-us/> page on our website as well as examples of topics in our decade-long Speaker Series <http://labortechresearchnetwork.org/index.php/speaker-series/>. *Call for Nominations* As part of our mission to promote scholarship and activism towards more equitable forms of labor and technology, LaborTech is announcing a call for three awards -- Book, Graduate Student Paper, and Social Justice. These will honor projects which: - have distinctive intellectual merit or activist impact; - advance the knowledge about labor and technology in the global society; and - address our core focus on labor and technology and which may simultaneously address feminism, anti-racism, and/or transnationalism. *Eligibility*: Works from all disciplines and methodologies are eligible for nomination. Nominations are open to members and non-members of LaborTech. We welcome self-nominations especially, but also nominations from publishers, colleagues, and others familiar with the projects. We encourage submissions from women, people of color, queer communities, and those from the global south. *Prizes*: Winners receive a small cash award and a certificate (which we hope to expand further in years ahead, as we are still a growing nonprofit organization :). In addition, we offer our infrastructural supports at LaborTech to promote visibility of your projects: by connecting with our 400+ expert members; by making a video of winners and distributing it both in and outside of our network to enhance public attention and exposure; and by creating a space and opportunity for sharing your work at out end of year virtual celebration. Winners will be announced in December. *Deadline and Contact*: The deadline for submissions is July 1, 2023. Send questions to labortechresearchnetwork(a)gmail.com <mailto:labortechresearchnetwork@gmail.com>. See below for separate criteria and instructions for the various awards. BOOK AND GRADUATE STUDENT PAPER AWARDS *Submission Details*: Please submit the following items in English to labortechresearchnetwork(a)gmail.com <mailto:labortechresearchnetwork@gmail.com>: 1.

A one-page nomination letter stating the significance and contribution of the work 4. For Graduate Student Paper, please also include in the cover letter: a) when the PhD was started and, if applicable, granted b) if the paper was published, then state when and in what journal c) if co-authored with faculty/advisors/other PhDs, please include a paragraph attesting to the student's dominant role in generating the paper (such as working on its theoretical components, doing the research, and writing it up). In addition, we ask that the cover letter is signed (digitally, or otherwise) by all co-authors, so that they are aware of this submission. *Book Award Criteria*: - Monographs only (no edited volumes or anthologies) - Multiple authors accepted - Published in the last three years (2021-23) *Graduate Student Paper Award Criteria*: - Written by students currently enrolled in a graduate program or who have graduated in 2023 - Single-authored pieces are preferred, but co-authored pieces will be accepted with the above conditions in Submission Details - Papers may be published within the last three years (2021-23) or unpublished - Page length: 25-40 pages, double-spaced SOCIAL JUSTICE AWARD *Submission details*: - Fill out this online form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdq_wJIthm5mbq05UVrzIGN6wYARoogkTO…>, which includes a few short questions of 400-700 words each, regarding the significance and contribution of your social justice activities - Please submit all items in English. If you have a submission in another language, contact us and we'll attempt to find a translator in our group. *Criteria*: - Those who are interfacing with technology in the course of their organizing, or who are organizing against inequitable technologies, in the context of labor, feminism, anti-racism, transnationalism struggles. This may include: tech workers labor organizers, whether in unions or other workers' associations feminist, immigrant, community, and ethnic rights activists scholar-activists. For this, we are not looking for purely academic work (i.e., scholars who are studying activism), but rather those who are participating in activism themselves, or who are promoting collaborations between activists and scholars. people creating design alternatives for social justice, like engineers and designers - Open to individuals, small groups, and if appropriate, organizations - Focus will be on a particular campaign or project that is done with the aim of social justice regarding labor and/or technology. These projects may be broad (such as educating the public on a social justice issue) or specific (such as organizing a protest for higher wages). They may use a variety of strategies (e.g., art, design, social media, marches and strikes, policy interventions, etc.). We'd like to honor activists who, through these projects, have developed novel approaches or who are pioneers in the fight for more equitable relations of technology and/or labor.
