SUMMARY:Workshop on Communicating Scientific Research to the Public
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the UC Berkeley Center for Law & Technology; the UC Berkeley College of Computing\, Data Science\, and Society (CDSS); and the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) Day One Project\, the CITRIS Policy Lab is hosting a four-part virtual science communication and tech policy workshop series that will equip researchers with the essential skills to effectively communicate their work to the general public\, policymakers and funders. \nParticipants will receive hands-on training on how to create impactful policy deliverables that provide effective guidance to policymakers and federal and state agencies. Participants will also be invited to submit a policy memo proposal to the FAS Day One Project. Those selected to publish a policy memo via the FAS Day One Project will receive additional training and writing assistance. \nIn this first workshop\, Tiffany Lohwater\, assistant dean of communications at CDSS\, will share techniques on how to make research accessible and engaging to a general audience. This includes mastering storytelling\, using visual aids and leveraging social media to broaden their reach. Lohwater founded the Communicating Science program at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)\, which provided communication and media training for more than 18\,000 scientists and engineers and reached thousands more scientists via online resources. \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Leveraging Research for Policy Impact
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the UC Berkeley Center for Law & Technology; the UC Berkeley College of Computing\, Data Science\, and Society (CDSS); and the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) Day One Project\, the CITRIS Policy Lab is hosting a four-part virtual science communication and tech policy workshop series that will equip researchers with the essential skills to effectively communicate their work to the general public\, policymakers and funders. \nParticipants will receive hands-on training on how to create impactful policy deliverables that provide effective guidance to policymakers and federal and state agencies. Participants will also be invited to submit a policy memo proposal to the FAS Day One Project. Those selected to publish a policy memo via the FAS Day One Project will receive additional training and writing assistance. \nThis session\, the second of four\, will focus on helping researchers identify and communicate the public policy impacts of their work. Attendees will learn how to integrate these aspects into the broader impacts sections of federal grant proposals and into impactful policy deliverables for lawmakers. \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:CITRIS and ITS Present: Lina Yang on Autonomy in Aviation
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “Emerging Aviation Technology: Autonomy” \nSpeaker: Lina Yang\, Head of Intelligent Systems\, Supernal \nFree and open to the public; no registration necessary. Seating is first come\, first served.\nWatch Livestream on YouTube \nAbstract: Urban air mobility (UAM) enables highly automated\, cooperative passenger- or cargo-carrying air transportation services in and around urban areas. In order to increase the volume of UAM operation\, the key is to understand and enable the “highly automation.” The highly automation does not just apply to vehicle automation but to whole ecosystems\, including air traffic services (ATS). Lina Yang will discuss the building blocks necessary to enable high-density UAM operation in this talk. \nSpeaker Bio: Lina Yang heads the Intelligent Systems team at Supernal\, overseeing everything from the simplified vehicle concept to a comprehensive autonomy solution and roadmap. Her approach to autonomy centers on the software-defined Vehicle. Moving from technology and automotive sectors to aviation was a seamless transition for her. In this new realm of the urban air mobility industry\, Yang strategically addresses challenges within controlled airspace\, driven by her visionary perspective on autonomy. \nAbout the Talk: Co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS). \nAbout the Series: Charting New Paths illuminates challenges and opportunities in applying emerging innovations to combat climate change\, transform urban mobility\, improve public health and shape technology policy. Free and open to the public\, these seminars take place on Fridays from 3–4 p.m. PT in fall 2024. \nSign up to receive the latest news from CITRIS.

SUMMARY:CITRIS and ITS Present: Linda Hill on Improving Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: “The Use of Technology To Improve Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety” \nSpeaker: Linda Hill\, Distinguished Professor\, Director of Transportation Research and Education for Driving Safety\, and Associate Dean for Community Relations at the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health\, UC San Diego \nFree and open to the public; no registration necessary. Seating is first come\, first served.\nWatch Livestream on YouTube \nAbstract: Commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) are a crucial part of the U.S. economy\, moving 72 percent of freight by weight. Though only comprising 5 percent of vehicles on the road\, CMVs represent 11 percent of vehicular miles driven. Due to the size of these vehicles\, CMV-associated crashes are more likely to be fatal to the drivers of other vehicles on the road. The Transportation Research and Education for Driving Safety (TREDS) Center at UC San Diego is partnering with two companies to address CMV driving safety. One technology alerts drivers to upcoming work zones through their required electronic logging devices\, which track and monitor driver and vehicle information in real time. The randomly selected intervention group receive alerts 500 meters before a work zone identified by the California Department of Transportation. The technology records changes to speed\, speed at passing through work zones\, and rates of deceleration. Preliminary data has shown that alerted vehicles begin their deceleration earlier. A second technology uses cameras supported by artificial intelligence (AI) to detect speeding\, handheld phone use and seatbelt compliance. Highly accurate prevalence of these risk behaviors is being collected for all passing CMV vehicles across two lanes of traffic. The behaviors vary by time of day\, day of week\, and location. Both technologies have potential to save lives of CMV drivers\, the motoring public and work zone employees. \nSpeaker Bio: Dr. Linda L. Hill is a Distinguished Professor in and founding faculty member of the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health at UC San Diego\, where she serves as associate dean. She is also faculty in and immediate-past director of the UC San Diego-San Diego State University general preventive medicine residency\, a role she assumed in 1989. San Diego Family Care\, a community health center supported by Section 330 of the Federal Public Health Service Act\, is the site of her clinical activities\, where she serves a largely refugee and migrant patient population. Hill directs the UC San Diego Transportation Research and Education for Driving Safety (TREDS) Center\, which works across transportation modalities\, including passenger cars\, commercial vehicles and railroads. Her research focuses on displaced populations and transportation safety\, including fatigue\, drug use\, drunk driving\, distraction and medical conditions. She is a fellow of the American College of Preventive Medicine. \nAbout the Talk: Co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS). \nAbout the Series: Charting New Paths illuminates challenges and opportunities in applying emerging innovations to combat climate change\, transform urban mobility\, improve public health and shape technology policy. Free and open to the public\, these seminars take place on Fridays from 3–4 p.m. PT in fall 2024. \nSign up to receive the latest news from CITRIS.
