Why my Mother Thinks I Work on Robots | Colby Ford | TEDxUNCCharlotte

Dr. Colby Ford's mom thinks he works on robots and his dad thinks he cures people, but as an artificial intelligence consultant and genomics researcher, Colby does neither. Colby explores how there are emerging fields in science, the growth of science industries and the importance of teaching others about the expansive possibilities the sciences offer. Recorded August 20, 2020. Colby is a three-time alumnus of UNC Charlotte and a first-generation college student that began his university education at the age of 14. Colby earned an undergraduate degree in Mathematics, a master’s in Data Science, and a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Colby is an AI Consultant and genomics researcher for Bioinformatics and Genmomics, as well as teaches the cloud computing for data analysis graduate course for the Data Science Initiative at UNC Charlotte. Colby’s mom thinks his works on robots like in “Ex Machina” and his dad thinks that he cures people. “The Book of Mormon” is Colby’s favorite musical, which he once won tickets for at Belk Theatre. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
