SUMMARY:The Center for Health Leadership 5th Annual Leadership Conference\, May 30-31\, 2013
DESCRIPTION:In Spring 2013\, we are on the precipice of dramatic\, disruptive change in the health field that offers an unprecedented opportunity and challenge to transform health care and population health. \n                We know that traditional public health approaches along with more and better health care are not enough to improve health outcomes\, equity\, and cost. We must also: \n                • implement sustainable\, fundamental “upstream” changes that address the root causes of disease and disability; and \n                • transform the way we deliver health care to ensure access to quality\, affordable health care for all. \n                Public health\, health care\, and economic/community development organizations are all striving to develop and implement new ways to partner across sectors and with the community to achieve improved population health\, reduce cost\, and improve patient experience (the triple aim). \n                While working upstream and transforming care delivery are compelling needs\, they are not easy to achieve. Innovative relationships\, strategies and collaborations are required – as is a different kind of leadership – in order to sustain these innovative interventions. \n                Our 2013 CHL Leadership Conference will focus on: a call to action\, skills and vision for focusing on upstream innovation and care transformation. \n                Please join us in this critical conversation!

SUMMARY:Design for Change Lab: Sustainability\, Technology and the Dynamics of Rapid Change\, May 10
DESCRIPTION:Our world’s most pressing challenges\, such as Climate Change\, energy insecurity\, water insecurity\, social inequity\, and food insecurity are integrated challenges that are marked by scale\, complexity\, and urgency. In some ways\, the state of the crisis is a manifestation of our current approaches and institutional structures. Our disciplines work in silos\, but meanwhile the challenges are integrated. Pure technology or policy measures fail to give us the scaled outcomes that we desire\, and therefore our approach needs to encompass the integrated nature of these scaled challenges. The difficulty of challenges of this class requires that we develop new innovation methodologies. Since at the level of the larger system\, the boundary conditions encompass technology\, economics\, geo-political constraints\, socio-cultural backdrops\, the human behavior\, the regulatory landscape and resource flows\, we need effective ways of intervening with multi-agency in order to change system behavior. Prof Banerjee who is the director of Stanford ChangeLabs\, will talk about how his team is combining Design Thinking with other approaches such as technology strategy\, diffusion theory\, and behavioral sciences to develop innovation methodologies to address scaled challenges. \n                ———— \n                Free and open to the public. \n                Live broadcast at \n                .

SUMMARY:Advanced Energy Storage\, May 3
DESCRIPTION:Energy storage has often been referred to as the ‘holy grail’ of the electric power system – an unattainable panacea that would greatly improve the grid if found. Come hear why it is no longer unattainable\, but rather a true power system game changer making impacts today. Janice Lin of Strategen Consulting will show how energy storage is creating tremendous opportunities within the production value chain\, throughout the grid\, and across multiple industry sectors. \n                ******************** \n                The modern power grid was designed and is currently operated based on the premise that energy cannot be practically stored. That was a reasonable approach when both energy consumption and fossil-based generation were highly predictable and global warming a distant concern. \n                Today\, with the implementation of large quantities of intermittent renewable energy and the concurrent electrification of transportation\, the nature of demand and supply is rapidly changing and becoming more difficult to manage. Power plants struggle to balance supply and demand in real time\, which causes a host of problems\, including the need for large fleets of idling power plants\, poor grid reliability and costly capacity additions that are utilized only a few days per year. \n                Energy storage is a broad asset class that can respond quickly to these imbalances by shaping and shifting energy to when it is needed most. Storage thus provides enormous local and system-wide benefits\, including greater electric system reliability\, more economical use of existing assets\, faster response of the grid to changing loads\, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved ability to integrate renewable energy. \n                With so many demonstrated and potential benefits\, why isn’t there more advanced energy storage on the grid? In this talk\, Strategen Consulting Managing Partner Janice Lin will discuss the major policy hurdles to integrating energy storage onto the grid\, touching on why California is a role model for energy policy and how organizations like the California Energy Storage Alliance (CESA) are working to create a level playing field for energy storage in the electric power sector. The discussion will also cover energy storage and the myriad benefits it provides\, as well as the opportunities that will be created as storage and renewables transform our electric power system to be cleaner\, more efficient\, more reliable\, and more cost effective. \n                ———— \n                Free and open to the public. \n                Live broadcast at \n                .

SUMMARY:TRUST Security Seminar\, May 2
DESCRIPTION:Our relationships with systems that instruct us to choose ‘strong’ passwords might best be described as high maintenance (a term coined in 1989 by Ephron). “Your password must contain an uppercase character\, but not on either side of the password. You’ll need a digit\, but appending a ‘1’ to the end of your password doesn’t count. Your password must include a symbol somewhere between the second and sixth position. The meter on the right should turn from red to green\, but don’t ask for an explanation of what must be done to turn it green. Once the meter turns green\, you’ll have 70 days until the password you’ve just created expires. When it does\, make sure not to choose a password that resembles or is based on your current password.” \n                These rituals might be worthwhile if we knew they were not just witchcraft\, but rather were scientifically-proven to reduce the risk of password-guessing attacks; in fact\, recent research suggests that they are mostly ineffective. \n                In this talk\, Schechter will review the threat posed by password-guessing and debunk a number of misconceptions about this threat. He will then introduce three different witchcraft-free rituals for protecting users from the scourge of guessable passwords. The talk will touch on topics in algorithms\, information theory\, and human behavior.

SUMMARY:Plausible Fallacies and Inconvenient Truths\, May 2
DESCRIPTION:Throughout time\, scholars and craftsmen have developed — and built upon — plausible explanations for what they observe in fields of technology and science. As our understanding grows\, many of these ideas are proven wrong\, but with nothing to replace them\, they persist. Research to supplant these fallacies can open the door to major advances\, but incorporating new and sometimes “inconvenient” truths can be a challenge for engineers and scientists.

SUMMARY:Big Neuroscience\, May 2
DESCRIPTION:The talk will run from 7:30—8:30pm on Thursday\, May 2 in the Berkeley City College basement auditorium. The reception will begin at 7pm with light refreshments. Dr. Koch will be around to meet people and talk before the lecture begins so please come have a cup of coffee and mingle. \n                Born in the American Midwest\, Christof Koch grew up in Holland\, Germany\, Canada\, and Morocco. He studied Physics and Philosophy at the University of Tübingen in Germany and was awarded his Ph.D. in Biophysics in 1982. After 4 years at MIT\, he joined the California Institute of Technology as a Professor in Biology and Engineering. His research area is the biophysics of nerve cells\, and the neuronal and computational basis of visual perception\, attention\, and consciousness. In 2011\, he became the Chief Scientific Officer at the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle\, where he leads a ten year\, large-scale\, high through-put effort to build brain observatories to map\, analyze and understand the cerebral cortex. Together with his long-time collaborator\, Francis Crick\, Christof pioneered the scientific study of consciousness. His latest book is Consciousness – Confessions of a Romantic Reductionist. \n                The Science Seminar Series invites distinguished speakers from diverse areas of scientific research to speak about their fields. These talks are presented in conjunction with the Berkeley City College Science Club and sponsored in part by the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine. All of the seminars are open to the public and have covered topics such as stem cell research potential and policy\, the neuroscience of consciousness\, energy policy and models of climate change.

SUMMARY:Frugal Science and Global Health\, May 1
DESCRIPTION:Somebody once said\, “What a damn fool can do for a dollar\, an engineer can do for a nickel.” Thinking about cost as an engineering constraint brings new life to ideas. This is what makes the difference between an idea influencing a hundred people or a billion. With our planet literally teaming with problems\, it’s time to take cost constraints into serious consideration. As physicists\, we like to make stuff. We use these skills (and field work) to design solutions for extremely resource constrained settings\, specially in the field of global health. Our work extends from field diagnostics to high-throughput ecology and hands on science education. \n                ————- \n                Free and open to the public\, the Research Exchange Seminar Series is a weekly roundtable of presentations and discussions that highlight ways to frame and tackle societal-scale research issues. \n                Live broadcast at \n                .

SUMMARY:Innovating Technologies for the Poorest Two Billion\, Apr 30
DESCRIPTION:Two recent technology innovations could improve the lives of tens-possibly hundreds-of millions of people among the poorest two billion people on the planet. Both technologies have emerged in the last few years from focused\, goal-driven research by teams of creative\, hard-working researchers in the Gadgil laboratory and in the field. The first technology innovation is the Berkeley-Darfur Stove\, which is an inexpensive\, fuel-efficient biomass stove for use by displaced women and girls in Darfur\, Sudan. The second innovation is Electrochemical Arsenic Remediation (ECAR)\, which affordably removes arsenic from the groundwater supplies used for drinking water in Bangladesh and neighboring regions. Dr. Gadgil will close with the six key lessons learned from his work in technology innovation. \n                Dr. Ashok Gadgil is Director of the Environmental Energy Technologies Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory\, and the Andrew and Virginia Rudd Family Foundation Professor of Safe Water and Sanitation in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley. He has substantial experience in technical\, economic\, and policy research on energy efficiency and its implementation particularly in developing countries. He has several patents and inventions to his credit.

SUMMARY:Smart Grid and Technology Integration at Pacific Gas and Electric\, Apr 26
DESCRIPTION:The Smart Grid has evolved from a concept to reality in California. In its earliest days\, Smart Grid was a collection of interesting ideas for a more sustainable and efficient energy infrastructure that created a buzz with influential policy makers. The Smart Grid has matured from concepts in white papers to real capabilities that are providing concrete and measureable benefits to utility customers and providing new opportunities for technology companies across California. \n                PG&E is recognized as a leader in Smart Grid in the U.S. and around the world. PG&E has been named the greenest utility in the U.S. by Newsweek\, has consistently been named as a top utility for its Smart Grid program and has been recognized as the leading utility in the U.S. for grid integration of solar energy generation. Kevin Dasso\, the executive responsible for PG&E’s Smart Grid program\, will describe PG&E’s current Smart Grid program and how it is providing real benefits to its customers today. \n                ————- \n                Free and open to the public. \n                Live broadcast at \n                .

SUMMARY:Virtual Angkor: Animating Zhou Daguan’s 13th Century Descriptions of Cambodia\, Apr 24
DESCRIPTION:Being the only surviving eyewitness description of Angkor as a lively and fully functional medieval metropolis\, the account by Zhou Daguan\, a 13th century Chinese emissary to Cambodia\, is widely cited among historians of Cambodia. In the year of Zhou’s visit in 1296 AD\, Angkor was already moving past its prime\, but his diaries paint a picture of Angkor as a bustling city and an impressive seat of royal power deserving of the appellation ‘rich\, noble Cambodia.’ \n                Using 3D modelling and animation techniques\, this presentation provides an overview of the work of a team of Monash researchers and animators to visualise selected excerpts from Zhou’s record of Angkor. Through the creation of virtual models based on a range of archaeological\, art historical\, architectural\, and cartographical research\, these visualisations explore new ways of teaching history\, and how 3D animation can be used to make historical assumptions about Angkor more precise. \n                Tom Chandler is a lecturer in 3D modelling and animation in the Faculty of Information Technology at Monash University. Beginning with an undergraduate degree in Fine Arts and Archaeology\, Tom worked overseas in the digital design industry before returning to Monash to complete a Ph.D. in the computer visualisations of the landscapes\, architecture and daily life of medieval Angkor. Tom is currently coordinating research in a range of 3D visualisation projects at Monash that seek to reappraise the applicability of virtual worlds in diverse disciplines.

SUMMARY:Transforming Health Care with Technology: Model-Based Approaches\, Apr 24
DESCRIPTION:The mounting need to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare due to economic pressures and changing demographics requires significant transformations in healthcare delivery. This new healthcare that will be evidence-based\, patient-centered and proactive (preventive) is likely to depend in part on technological innovations that in turn require solutions to fundamental scientific and engineering problems. In response to these challenges\, NSF has developed a program in smart health and wellbeing that is focused on stimulating relevant research in key areas\, including computer science\, engineering\, and behavioral and social sciences\, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of problems. In this presentation I will describe the current program as well as a number of challenges ranging from the development and utilization of inexpensive monitoring technologies\, e.g. mobile health\, to the development of sophisticated inference algorithms and economically feasible intervention schemes. I will emphasize the increasing need to understand the relationship between behaviors and health\, the notion of behavioral phenotyping\, and the corresponding challenges involving the development of behavioral markers. The success of these efforts will greatly benefit from the development and application of computational predictive modeling at multiple scales\, ranging from molecular biology to behavioral data and social networks. Among the key issues requiring new research efforts\, I will identify the need for the development of patient-specific computational multi-scale models that will enable the utilization of heterogeneous\, (big) data in conjunction with individual-specific observations and measurements. I will illustrate the model-based approaches on a small sample of specific examples. \n————– \nRegistration for each event (by the Monday prior at 3pm) is required to reserve lunch at UC Berkeley at \nFree and open to the public\, the Research Exchange Seminar Series is a weekly roundtable of presentations and discussions that highlight ways to frame and tackle societal-scale research issues. \nLive broadcast at \n.

SUMMARY:Brain-Machine Interfaces\, Apr 17
DESCRIPTION:Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) hold great potential to aid large numbers of people with neurological disorders. BMIs also provide a framework for studying cortical dynamics and the neural correlates of learning neuroprosthetic skills\, i.e. accurate\, readily-recalled control of disembodied actuators irrespective of natural physical movements. In this talk I will postulate that achieving skillful\, natural control of a multi-DOF prosthetic device will entail synergizing two different types of adaptation processes: natural (brain plasticity) and artificial (decoder adaptation)\, as well as providing realistic sensory feedback from the prosthetic device. I will present recent work from our laboratory showing that 1) neuroplasticity facilitates consolidation of neuroprosthetic motor skill in a way that resembles that of natural motor learning; 2) corticostriatal plasticity is necessary for neuroprosthetic skill learning\, and 3) closed-loop decoder adaptation (CLDA) techniques can expedite the learning process by adapting the decoder parameters during closed-loop BMI operation (i.e.\, while the subject is using the BMI). We believe that BMI systems capable of exploiting both neuroplasticity and CLDA will be able to boost learning\, generalize well to novel movements and environments\, and ultimately achieve a level of control and dexterity comparable to that of natural arm movements. \n————— \nRegistration for each event (by the Monday prior at 3pm) is required for lunch at UC Berkeley at \nFree and open to the public\, the Research Exchange Seminar Series is a weekly roundtable of presentations and discussions that highlight ways to frame and tackle societal-scale research issues. \nLive broadcast at \n.
