• Abstract: Hundreds of years ago, colonization happened. Today we are still living out the ripple effects of this history. How does this relate to science, informal science education, and institutions that promote science communication? What obligations or considerations should a science museum have before integrating Indigenous knowledge into their existing programming? Presented in this document is the process of building a framework intended to provide a roadmap for developing Indigenous astronomy programming which can be a model for other institutions that may be interested in collaborating with Indigenous communities.

  Virtual Scientists (VirSci) is a multi-agent system designed to mimic the teamwork inherent in scientific research. VirSci organizes a team of agents to collaboratively generate, evaluate, and refine research ideas. We show that this multi-agent approach outperforms the state-of-the-art method in producing novel scientific ideas.

  We introduce SciInstruct, a suite of scientific instructions for training scientific language models capable of college-level scientific reasoning. We curated a diverse and high-quality dataset encompassing physics, chemistry, math, and formal proofs. To verify the effectiveness of SciInstruct, we fine-tuned different language models with SciInstruct, i.e., ChatGLM3 (6B and 32B), Llama3-8B-Instruct, and Mistral-7B: MetaMath.

  We study the study of representational alignment in cognitive science, neuroscience, and machine learning. Despite their overlapping interests, there is limited knowledge transfer between these fields. We propose a unifying framework that can serve as a common language for research on representational alignment.

• Large Language Models for Scientific Synthesis, Inference and Explanation [56.41963802804953]
  We show how large language models can perform scientific synthesis, inference, and explanation. We show that the large language model can augment this "knowledge" by synthesizing from the scientific literature. This approach has the further advantage that the large language model can explain the machine learning system's predictions.
