Climate Change Risks and Opportunities\, Jun 15 DESCRIPTION:Dan Miller will speak about the opportunities and need for clean tech to counter climate change brought on by our dependence on fossil fuels. Dan’s 2009 talk on climate change remains one of the most visited videos on fora.tv. Dan is a cofounder and partner in the Roda Group\, a Berkeley VC firm; former president of Ask Jeeves; and investor in Solazyme\, a company that grows and converts algae to fuel\, cosmetics\, and other products.

Your cells manage to do that – and to assemble new cells out of those raw materials – with relative ease. Synthetic biology aims to design and construct biological systems to make valuable products or perform constructive tasks. The tremendous diversity in the natural world provides us with a versatile and complex set of biological tools. We’ll discuss how synthetic biologists apply and hone these tools\, and to what ends. \n Terry has a master’s degree in chemical engineering from MIT and is currently teaching bioengineering at UC Berkeley. He hopes that by doing so\, he will be giving students the tools that they will need to repair him when he gets older. With Kyle Kurpinski\, he is the author of “How to Defeat Your Own Clone: And Other Tips for Surviving the Biotech Revolution”. In 2010\, he was the recipient of the ASUC Golden Apple Award for Outstanding Teaching. \n This free public talk is presented as part of the monthly “Science@Cal Lecture Series”.

Megaprojects—sometimes referred to as ‘international’ or ‘global’ projects—could be either private- or public projects\, and in any industry sector (e.g.\, oil and gas\, industrial construction\, complex buildings\, infrastructure). \n Leadership is to align and nurture capabilities of the project delivery team with the demands on the project. Leaders should serve as a model for the desired behavior\, enable what they are requesting (conditions\, knowledge\, resources\, coaching and training)\, and maintain the team focus on goals and values (process and criteria). \n More information about this event is \n . \n This workshop wraps up the first year of our Laboratory’s research focused on megaproject leadership. P2SL’s Megaproject Leadership Initiative has been supported by Statoil as the founding member\, and we have conducted our research in collaboration with colleagues at the Norwegian Technical University (NTNU). \n The aim of this workshop is to bring together industry practitioners and researchers eager to share their learnings on how to exercise and develop leadership\, and interested in collaborating on further research and practical applications of lessons learned in this area. \n Discussions at the workshop will pertain to any or all: \n the commercial terms\, \n the organization\, and \n the operating system \n used to deliver projects. \n Speakers will present case studies and theoretical frameworks on which to base future studies and plan-do-check-act experimental applications.
