SUMMARY:Berkeley Engineering Commencement
DESCRIPTION:Celebration of 2020 Graduates\nTuesday\, May 19 | 9 a.m.\nhttp://engineering.berkeley.edu/celebrate2020\n#becelebration2020 \nWe invite all graduates\, their families and friends\, and the college community to join us remotely on Tuesday\, May 19\, for a “Celebration of the Berkeley Engineering 2020 Graduates.” The online celebration is intended to acknowledge and celebrate our graduate’s accomplishments\, but its format is not intended to replace a live commencement ceremony. The self-guided program will include recorded video remarks from the dean\, department chairs\, and other speakers\, as well as personalized slides for each graduate. The site will go live on May 19 at 9 a.m.\, and visitors will be allowed to engage with the content as they wish. This includes deciding which video greetings and slides they view at their convenience. \nWe look forward to having you join us when the celebratory site debuts on May 19\, and we encourage you to send congratulations on social media using the hashtag #becelebration2020. Your congratulations message will appear on the celebration site. \nThe College of Engineering’s Spring 2020 Commencement must be postponed due to the continuing public health threat posed by COVID-19. We are waiting to evaluate how the current situation will progress before determining a new date. Details for the postponed ceremony become available\, they will be posted on this page. If you have any questions regarding the postponed ceremony or the online celebration\, please contact bears@berkeley.edu. \nContact\nEvents and Program\nCollege of Engineering\n312 McLaughlin Hall #1704\nBerkeley\, CA 94720-1704\n(510) 643 – 7101 \nbears@berkeley.edu

SUMMARY:Reconfiguring Lifelines: Exploring Science & Technology Policy Landscapes in an Era of Bioengineering and the “Bioeconomy”
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis Zoom talk will discuss emerging landscapes of bioengineering (agricultural biotech\, genetic engineering\, precision medicine\, synthetic biology\, biofuels\, etc.)\, and of science and technology policies (or lack thereof)\, with an eye to social determinants of health and health equity. It will explore both the public health stakes of various fields of bioengineering and the bioeconomy\, as well as the stakeholders most represented in policy-making processes\, in California and beyond. Finally\, it will inquire into possibilities for transforming these landscapes – to foster more inclusive\, sustainable\, and health equity-oriented forms of innovation and economic prosperity for all. \nRSVP here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScmxB0WbfzyXOpSPAjHbiwGxnICNQ3QimVpt-DUdpFb6WyJiA/viewform \nHOSTS:\nChris Benner\, Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies & Director\, Institute for Social Transformation and\nMichael Matkin\, Assistant Director\, CITRIS and the Banatao Institute\, UC Santa Cruz. \nUC Santa Cruz has joined the Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN)\, a partnership of 36 colleges and universities dedicated to building the nascent field of public interest technology and growing a new generation of civic-minded technologists. Co-convened by the Institute for Social Transformation and CITRIS and the Banatao Institute\, this initiative bridges every corner of the campus.

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. Established in 2001\, the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) leverages the interdisciplinary research strengths of four UC campuses—Santa Cruz\, Berkeley\, Davis and Merced—to advance UC’s mission and the innovative spirit of California. The institute was created to shorten the pipeline between world-class laboratory research and the development of cutting-edge applications\, platforms\, companies\, and even new industries.
