+- Each participant has a print out with overlapping content from Session 1 for anchoring the rest of the workshop.
+- Each participant has sticky notes of 3 colors:
+    - Yellow
+    - Green
+    - Red
+- 1 Easel pad on each table.

+
+```{admonition} Goal
+:class: tip
+Come up with specific challenges in your research domain, where you think tools powered by generative AI (or agentic AI) could be useful.
+
+Aim for 5-8 ideas per person.
+
+Individual idea generation is encouraged, but talk to other participants (and us) if you are stalled.

+  `Problems Within Your Research Context.` For example, what frustrates you?

+- Use <span style="background-color:red;color:white;">red sticky notes</span>

+## Within Table Sharing & Idea Clustering (~15 minutes)
+
+```{warning}
+- Should facilitators join?
+```
+
+- Participants share their sticky notes with other members at their tables.
+- Group and cluster similar problems together naturally.
+- Look for patterns across disciplines and come up with themes.
+- Goal is to organize and understand, but not to judge the idea.
+
+## Sharing with Everybody (~5 minutes)
+
+```{warning}
+- Should facilitators do the sharing with everybody bit?
+- Timing could be tight, confirm the concrete step here with rest of the team.
+```
+
+```{admonition} Prerequisites
+- One of the facilitators opens up a Google Doc that is screen shared with the room for note taking. Share the link of the Google doc with everybody (through a QR code).
+```
+
+- Each table briefly shares its main problem clusters with the room and the note
+  taker puts the notes in the Google doc.
+- Other tables can add sticky notes if they have related ideas.
+- People can look for surprising connections across other scientific fields.

+## Form Interest-Based Groups (Optional, ~5 minutes)
+
+- Participants can self-organize and move to different tables for the most
+  compelling themes.
+- Aim to maintain a decent headcount on each table.
+
+## Develop Use Cases
+
+- 1 Easel pad chart paper for 1 use case.
+- Groups work on flip chart paper, building ideas collaboratively.
+- Use Case Template:
+  - **The Problem:** What specific research challenge does this address?
+  - **The AI Solution:** What would the AI system do? (be specific)
+  - **The Data:** What data would be needed to train/run this AI? What data
+    would be needed to support the agentic AI?
+  - **The Impact:** How would this change scientific practice?
+  - **Cross-Field Applications:** How might this work or impact other
+    disciplines?
+
+### For Rich Use Case Development
+
+- Push for specificity and avoid vague "AI could help with data analysis or
+  hypothesis generation".
+- Consider feasibility at some point. Science fiction is great, but not all the
+  use cases can be that. What would it take to actually build this?
+- Think about adoption and encourage thinking around, would scientists actually
+  use this?
+- Explore unintended consequences and what could go wrong. How could it hurt
+  scientific discovery?

+  - Most innovative use case
+  - Most practical/implementable
+  - Most relevant to your field
+  - Most surprising cross-disciplinary application
+- Participants can add brief written feedback on sticky notes:
+  - Focus can be on: "This reminds me of..." or "You could also..."
