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 .

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.

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.

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.

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 .

Everywhere! UC Berkeley students from all over campus have been engaging in design to solve a diversity of real-world problems. On May 8th\, the broader community is invited to see what Berkeley’s student architects\, engineers\, scientists\, planners\, biologists\, MBA’s\, artists and all forms of designers have been working on at the second Berkeley Design Fest. The Design Fest is an open house event where students will share their design projects. This open house event will give visitors a sense of the diversity and magnitude of the design activity occurring in departments throughout Berkeley. The first phase of Design Fest will take place at the College of Environmental Design from 10am-noon. The north campus phase of the Design Fest will take place from 1-5pm in the CITRIS Atrium\, CITRIS Auditorium and the Blum Center.

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 .
