To Fight Online Disinformation,
UB Launches
Center for Information Integrity
|
|
|
|
The initiative, which merges a broad range of STEM and non-STEM disciplines, will build multidisciplinary research teams and develop digital literacy tools and new teaching techniques
Siwei Lyu, a University at Buffalo Empire Innovation Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, clearly saw the problem. Misinformation and disinformation had so polluted social media platforms that untrained users in many cases couldn’t distinguish fact from fiction, or just didn’t care to do so.
But his background as a computer scientist could help restore truth to the top of newsfeeds.

Upstate Medical University’s CNY Biotech Accelerator (CNYBAC) has selected its 2022 Medical Device Innovation Challenge (MDIC) teams.

New this year, in addition to the four later-stage teams selected, an expansion program is being piloted due to the large number of applications received from Upstate students and faculty. These early-stage applicants were invited to attend the SUNY Summer Startup School and upon graduation will be accepted automatically into the MDIC program—which means the program will be supporting nine teams.
“We are very excited about the teams selected,” said Kathi Durdon, MA, CCRP, executive director of the CNYBAC. “These are medical device innovators working to commercialize exciting technology with the intent to positively impact how patients are diagnosed and treated.

Communitas Micro-Grant Application
Communitas Micro-Grant program provides NYC start-ups, small businesses, and nonprofits for short-term and long-term community impact. The micro-grants projects are designed and implemented by the social entrepreneurs themselves. This initiative began due to the barriers of entry that many social ventures face preventing them from achieving meaningful growth and impact.
Grantees are awarded on a competitive basis and Communitas America decides which proposal(s) best meets the guidelines of the limited grants available. The small amounts of funding range from $250-$2,500 per micro-grant but Communitas America will consider higher or lower proposals on a case-by-case basis. All Communitas Ventures Alum members are welcome to apply for micro-grants, but priority will be given to those who have not previously applied. Both individual and joint projects are accepted.
