AI for Science Interview 1: Dr Rachel Akeson, CalTech

This is the first video of the "AI for Science" segment that forms part of a larger Scientific Machine Learning educational initiative that we are working on with Vivek Karmarkar.
This is a series in which we interview prominent researchers and scientists working at the intersection of science and artificial intelligence (AI)
Vivek had a fascinating conversation with Rachel Akeson, the deputy director at IPAC at Caltech about Astronomy, LLMs, IPAC and a lot more! Rachel provided fantastic pieces of advice for Physics students wanting to break into Data Science.
This is just the beginning and we have a star-studded line up for upcoming episodes starring Roarke Horstmeyer, Igor Aizenberg and Miles Cranmer where we will be talking about exciting ideas in the world of Scientific Machine Learning like Physical Layers in Optics, Complex-valued Neural Nets, Discovery of Physical Laws using Symbolic Regression and much more!
