How to Safely Protect Your Intellectual Property and Minimize Costs

This presentation offers students at all career stages a practical introduction to protecting their intellectual property (IP). Attendees will learn about common pitfalls that can jeopardize IP rights, steps they can take to safeguard their innovations, and preliminary research they can conduct to assess whether protection is worth pursuing.

A machine learning approach to elucidating physicochemical drivers of opportunistic pathogen occurrence in drinking water systems

This study applies machine learning (ML) models to elucidate relationships between physicochemical parameters, OPs (Legionella spp., Pseudomonas spp., and Mycobacterium spp.), and the free-living amoeba Vermamoeba vermiformis, which can harbor OPs and is frequently detected in DWDS.
