The Human Race Into Space Requires Kidneys, and Other Important Topics

A research and discussion group
Agenda and Minutes
1. Status of KB data? RS received the data. He plans to communicate with BH.
2. VK wrote to the prospective collaborator. They might meet in Bentonville soon.
3. Another paper?
- WMSCI has upcoming deadline(s).
- RAG results with VJB and his student who is working on it? RAG: Retrieval Augmented Generation - is a type of intelligent tutoring system. VJB has a senior capstone project student working on this in Spring semester. He might be able to attend some of these meetings and tell us what he is doing. There is programming involved in this project. Expect something next semester or in May or thereabouts.
- Something new from V's dissertation? For example, the graphs showing what fraction of satellites last at least a given number of years might be publishable. R suggests there might be other results in the dissertation that could also be valuable.
4. AI, how is it affecting education, how AI could be used to enhance teaching, etc.?
- Automating the Socratic method of teaching.
- TE is leaning toward this for a dissertation.
- See research at https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.13919
- 2/26/25: We finished up to "Figure 4 presents the semantic annotation results" in section 5 and can start there next time.
- Consider this prompt to an AI:
- Teach me about an article using Socratic questioning. You ask me questions to guide my learning. Here is the article. <copy paste an article about something here.>
- See research at https://s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/assets.jmir.org/assets/preprints/preprint-57995-submitted.pdf
5. Reviewing discussion updates: MDPI said to reapply in 2026.
