SUMMARY:Blockchain for the Public Good Panel
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Blockchain for the Public Good Panel \nSpeaker(s): Panelists include Brian Behlendorf (Executive Director\, Hyperledger)\, Ben Bartlett (Partner\, Tackett Bartlett LLP)\, and Michele Benedetto Neitz (Professor of Law\, Golden Gate University School of Law). Moderated by Camille Crittenden\, Ph.D.\, Executive Director of CITRIS and the Banatao Institute. \nAbstract: Blockchain technology has gained notoriety over the past decade as a platform for cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin\, which has been used for illicit exchange of weapons and drugs\, as well as paying off hackers whose ransomware holds computer systems hostage. At the same time\, researchers and developers have been exploring the use of blockchain and the broader domain of distributed ledger technology for more beneficial applications\, such as in healthcare\, education\, property title\, and public finance. \nCalifornia lawmakers commissioned a task force in 2019 to study the potential of blockchain for public sector applications by creating the Blockchain Working Group. The 20-member group\, including those speaking today\, comprised experts in computer science\, cybersecurity\, information technology\, law\, and policy. We were charged with drafting a working definition of blockchain\, providing advice to State offices and agencies considering blockchain platforms\, and offering guidance to policymakers to foster an open and equitable regulatory environment for the technology in California. \nThis talk will draw on the panelists’ expertise in the fundamental computer science and security concerns of blockchain\, its applications for public finance\, and ethical considerations of its development. We will also discuss the experience of working with a broad group of stakeholders to create a roadmap for policymakers\, CIOs\, and other leaders considering blockchain solutions for public sector applications. \nRegister to attend >

SUMMARY:Medical Management in Epilepsy – A Journey into the Unknown
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Medical Management in Epilepsy – A Journey into the Unknown \nSpeaker: Rachel Kuperman\, Founder & CEO\, Eysz Lab \nBio: Rachel Kuperman\, MD is the CEO and co-founder of Eysz\, an early stage startup developing a real-time\, machine-learning based remote monitoring solution to reliably detect seizures associated with loss of consciousness. Rachel co-founded Eysz to address the significant unmet need for identifying seizures outside of the hospital. The company spun out of her research showing that eye movement analysis can be used to detect seizures. The company has been recognized by the Epilepsy Foundation\, IEEE/NIH\, and most recently by the International Society for Optics and Photonics. Prior to co-founding Eysz\, Rachel ran the Pediatric Epilepsy Program and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland for 10 years. She attended UCSF Medical School\, completed Child Neurology Fellowship at Columbia\, and then then completed at Epilepsy Fellowship at UCSF. \nAbstract: Neuroscience has made tremendous leaps and bounds in the last three decades. Sadly\, the outcomes for people with epilepsy have not changed significantly with costs more than tripling to 28 billion dollars per year. Why the big divide between research and clinical care? We will explore the barriers to translation and adoption of new technologies in the clinic. \nRegister to attend >

SUMMARY:Creating Positive Feedback Loops to Accelerate the Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Creating Positive Feedback Loops to Accelerate the Energy Transition \nSpeaker: Sarah Kurtz\, Professor\, School of Engineering (Materials Science and Engineering) Sciences\, UC Merced \nBio: Sarah Kurtz obtained her Ph.D. in 1985 from Harvard University and now works at the University of California Merced after more than 30 years working at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory\, in Golden\, CO. She is known for her contributions to developing multijunction\, GaInP/GaAs solar cells\, supporting the Concentrator Photovoltaic (PV) industry\, and leading efforts on PV performance and reliability. Her work has been recognized with a jointly received Dan David Prize in 2007\, the Cherry Award in 2012\, C3E Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016\, and induction into the National Academy of Engineering in 2020. At the University of California Merced\, she is working both to help the university grow and to support the Energy Transition through a variety of studies\, including a current effort on long-duration storage. \nAbstract: Photovoltaic solar electricity has grown much faster than was expected. Continuation of the historical growth rate would enable solar to generate as much electricity as the entire world uses by ~ 2030. California\, in particular\, has taken a leading role; 19% of electricity generated in 2018 in the state of California was from solar energy. However\, growth of solar is now slowing\, both worldwide and in California. As the state of California and many others around the world seek to move away from fossil fuels to a zero-carbon energy system\, it will be critical to maintain the momentum. Positive feedback has been helpful in the growth of solar so far. This talk will discuss how positive feedback loops can help accelerate the energy transition by taking a balanced approach. The talk will also discuss how choices we make in designing our new energy system can reduce or increase the size of the problem. \nRegister to attend >

SUMMARY:Inclusive Workforce Strategies: Enhancing the Future of Public Sector Work
DESCRIPTION:Inclusive Workforce Strategies: Enhancing the Future of Public Sector Work \nPanelists include Elana Zeide (PULSE Fellow in Artificial Intelligence\, Law & Policy\, UCLA)\, Saurabh Sanghvi (Associate Partner\, McKinsey & Company)\, and Scott Mauvais (Director of AI & Global Partnerships\, Microsoft Philanthropies). Moderated by Brandie Nonnecke\, CITRIS Policy Lab Director. \nSummary:\nWhile a strong body of research has emerged on the ways emerging technologies\, especially artificial intelligence (AI)\, will disrupt private sector work\, less attention has been given to understanding these effects on public sector work and workers. Yet these technologies are increasingly being deployed in the public sector to address growing workload demands\, shortage of workers\, and budget constraints. \nIn collaboration with Microsoft\, the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) and the Banatao Institute will host a CITRIS Research Exchange panel to explore the effects of emerging technologies\, like machine learning-powered decision systems and robotic process automation\, within three public service sectors: education\, social services\, and law enforcement. Panelists will explore priority strategies to better ensure implementation of emerging technologies not only contribute to greater efficiency and effectiveness\, but also equity. The CITRIS Policy Lab will also release its white paper on the effects of emerging technologies on public sector work and priority technology and policy recommendations. \nRegister to attend

SUMMARY:Transformational Communications: Increasing Government Ambition in Public Engagement on Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Transformational Communications: Increasing Government Ambition in Public Engagement on Climate Change\nWed\, Jun 24\, 2020\, 1:00 PM – 2:00 ET\nRegister > \nGovernments have failed to effectively engage people – 30 years after government committed in the Framework Convention to inform and educate their citizens\, people are still disturbingly ill-informed about what is causing it\, how urgent it is\, and how it will impact their lives. So how do we assert people’s legal (and moral) right to know\, and how can we transform our approach to engagement\, overcoming polarisation\, building a broad-based public mandate to support action. George will make the case that public engagement is essential for achieving our climate targets and discuss a major new international initiative to transform governments commitment to public engagement. \nSpeaker: George Marshall\, founder of Climate Outreach \nGeorge is the founder of Climate Outreach\, a non-profit based in Oxford UK that is Europe’s leading specialist in climate change communication. Their clients include the World Bank\, IPCC\, government around the world\, and most major environmental networks. He is the author of the acclaimed Don’t Even Think About It: Why Our Brains are Wired to Ignore Climate Change and presented the opening keynote at the BECC annual conference in 2018. This will be the sixth in a webinar series for the 2020 Behavior\, Energy & Climate Change Conference (BECC). \nMore info >

SUMMARY:CITRIS at UC Santa Cruz – Seed Funding Info Session
DESCRIPTION:CITRIS and the Banatao Institute at UC Santa Cruz is inviting UCSC researchers to apply for research support through its Campus Seed Funding program. For 2020\, the program will fund projects focused on providing solutions to issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic and disaster preparedness. \nPandemic and disaster preparedness proposals may address but are not limited to the following areas of research: \nBroader Impacts \n\nEducation innovation: Zoom has become an ad-hoc replacement for most instruction. What technologies and new approaches can make remote education more effective? How do we ensure access to all students?\nFuture of work: Again\, Zoom is the new office for many\, yet many essential workers\, from meatpackers to farmworkers to grocery clerks\, have been placed at greater risk\, revealing glaring inequities in our workforce. How can we innovate to support both workers able to work virtually and those who cannot? What kinds of innovations\, including in digital informatics and robotics\, can help?\nCommunity Building: Vulnerable populations across many demographic lines are inordinately impacted by social isolation. What tools and strategies can we use to better direct resources and support?\nFood Supply: Perishable products like dairy\, eggs\, and produce are being composted at industrial scale\, while lines at food banks stretch for miles in some states. How can we track and redirect these resources?\nTechnology-enabled policy responses to address disinformation and misinformation\, privacy concerns and surveillance\, or communication network analysis to identify the flow and effect of COVID-19-related information.\n\nDetection & Surveillance \n\nNovel analytics on the threat\, vulnerabilities\, and spread of COVID-19.\nInnovations to identify and support populations vulnerable to COVID-19 using digital health or machine intelligence\, including but not limited to older adults\, those with underlying health conditions\, and homeless persons.\n\nTreatment Innovations \n\nEnhanced telehealth methodologies to support healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and care of patients with COVID-19.\nArtificial Intelligence or Machine Learning (AI/ML) predictive analytics to support diagnosis\, care and treatment of persons with COVID-19.\nTechnology-enabled strategies to support care processes for the healthcare workforce serving persons with COVID-19.\nInnovations in personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect the healthcare workforce.\nUse of robotics in healthcare settings to reduce risk to human care providers or otherwise complement their work.\nDevelopment of decision-support methodologies\, tracking systems\, visualizations\, or dashboards for use by clinicians and/or policymakers.\n\nThe submission deadline is June 22\, 2020. A campus information session will be held via Zoom for all interested parties on Thursday\, May 21\, from 12 noon to 1 p.m. To attend\, RSVP at https://forms.gle/seAodPFfBARgqZnaA \nFor more information\, contact Michael Matkin\, assistant director of CITRIS and the Banatao Institute at UC Santa Cruz\, at mmatkin@ucsc.edu. \nCITRIS and the Banatao Institute create information technology solutions for society’s most pressing challenges.
