About Chalk Radio

Chalk Radio is an MIT OpenCourseWare podcast about inspired teaching at MIT. We take you behind the scenes of some of the most interesting courses on campus to talk with the professors who make those courses possible. Our guests open up to us about the passions that drive their cutting-edge research and innovative teaching, sharing stories that are candid, funny, serious, personal, and full of insights. Listening in on these conversations is like being right here with us in person under the MIT dome, talking with your favorite professors. And because each of our guests shares teaching materials on OCW, it's easy to take a deeper dive into the topics that inspire you. If you're an educator, you can make these teaching materials your own because they're all openly-licensed. Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hansen from MIT Open Learning.

[…] This to me, the image that I made was documentary. The redo of that image is more illustrative. We cannot call it a documentation because they mucked up with the data. And we have to talk about this. Right. I mean, it brings up all sorts of issues of trust, both within the research community, but for us as lay people, what kind of images can we trust, especially now in the era of AI-generated images? Yeah. Yeah. Trust. That's a killer. We're in a really difficult time these days, aren't we? Where research or scientists are not trusted. Can you think of maybe three questions research consumers should ask themselves when they're looking at an image that would at least bring a critical lens? […]
