Integrating AI into the Classroom
Alex and Dr. Aliza from @aiEDUStudios dive into a college course that doesn’t shy away from AI—it tackles it head-on. Tulane associate professor Nick Mattei shares how his students prompt multiple AI models, compare outputs, analyze errors, and then use those insights to draft their essays before transforming them into another medium. The twist? Students must defend every choice in person. That single shift reframes the entire assignment, encouraging students to embrace AI transparently and focus on understanding the material deeply enough to teach it to someone else.
Biden Cancer Moonshot at Tulane University
The university hosted the Bidens on our uptown campus as they announced that Tulane researchers will receive up to $23 million to develop an imaging system as part of the Biden Cancer Moonshot.
The imaging system developed by Tulane’s School of Science and Engineering will give doctors the ability to scan a tumor during surgery and determine within minutes whether any cancer tissue has been left behind.
“This announcement in support of Tulane’s cancer research by President Biden and Dr. Biden is a historic moment for Tulane,” Tulane President Michael A. Fitts said. “Tulane is a proud partner in supporting the goal of the Biden Cancer Moonshot. This advancement will save lives. The President and First Lady have been relentless champions in the battle to end cancer. Today, we are celebrating the results of their commitment.”
Congratulations to Tulane professors Dr. J. Quincy Brown and Dr. Brian Summa who are co-leads on the project.
