Imagine a TED talk but run by amateurs. We hear from top researchers and lecturers from the University of Adelaide on topics such as computer vision, natural language processing, optimisation, and security as well as interdisciplinary work with music, space, and robotics and so much more!
Want to be a doctor but don't like dealing with people in general let alone their ailments and never got into biology in high school so you started getting into coding but still kind of want to help people? Same. Medical imaging is a branch of computer vision with a focus on improving the ability to read a scan when we can't improve the physical scanner any further.

The CS Club has a podcast! Why? Because we are a lazy people when it comes to reading large texts and all too introverted to go to more lectures than mandatory.
We have a new Instagram too. Find it here: https://www.instagram.com/compsci.adl/ (https://www.instagram.com/compsci.adl/?hl=en)
