Greetings Fans of Science and Reason,
Does it seem like the last week has been a blur or is it just me? Of course it turns out to be insanely complicated! I’m always amazed how differently the same event can be perceived by various observers, even if they are close friends or family. Of course a portion of this is based on how we got to where we are! (Sorry, I just had to add that!)
I just watched another SpaceX launch. It is always remarkable. Looking at the crew, it looks like they are sitting very well dressed in a driverless taxi on a nominal trip to a science lecture (in space)! It’s been a little over 60 years since the first humans first broke most of the chains of gravity.
Who would have predicted that one of the many science fiction predictions would come so quickly. Peggy A. Whitson, Ph.D. was born 14 months before the first human went to space. Do you ever stop and think about what achievements science has achieved in your or your parents’ lifetime? Now, when they launch a rocket then land it standing up as it was when it launched! Often within eyesight of where it was launched!!! It will have traveled a few hundred miles and be home in 7 min 44 sec!
Another bit of space history… It’s been just 50 years since the launch of Skylab: America’s 1st space station. It only lasted a bit more than 6 years. Even then, Student proposed investigations aboard Skylab, such as web-spinning studies with spiders Arabella and Anita, were performed to compare arachnid behavioral capabilities in microgravity versus on Earth. The spiders proved successful over time, adapting to their environment. Today’s students are bringing forth new innovative ideas and experiments expanding on these biology questions, for instance the Space Lab investigation to see how jumping spiders adapt to capturing prey in microgravity. Now the International Space Station is nearing the end of it’s service. It has been an amazing success with 20 countries (including a successful partnership with Russia) participating in it’s work. It probably only has 7 or so years left. I wonder what will be next.
We’re heading into the summer season so many of the cool presentations from schools around the area will be taking a summer break but fear not, there are still going to be great opportunities. Here’s a sample…
Climate & Sustainability: The Defining Issue of the 21st Century Mon@3:30. SLAC talks will never let you down.
Svalbard: Wild Land, Wild Ice, Wild Life – Livestream Tue@7:00 I was there a year ago. It is amazing and I’m going to watch this!
Insects in Crisis - Livestream Thu@4:00
After Dark: Elemental Thu@6:00 Live! Ron Hipschman returns to the stage at the explO!
Stewardship Saturday: Experiencing Fish Kitchen Sat@11:00 Another one not to be missed.
My friends know that I am not one to pay attention to sports, especially professional sports. Most of them know that I appreciate the ability of the athletes but don’t really like the hype, $$$, and deification of them. I do think that they are an important part of our society and their impact on youth and fans is significant, important, and dangerous. I recommend that you read and share this with people who teach your kids about athletics… The Skeptic’s Guide to Sports Science
The SciSchmooze is about learning new things, hopefully sometimes things that don’t or didn’t interest you. There are many ways to increase our understanding and learning about this amazing universe we share. If you have kids in school they certainly are facing challenges that you and I never faced. This may help… Strategies for Better Learning: Tips for Everyone (The whole website is impressive. The Rationality of Science) Another interesting take on learning… Forgetting and misremembering are the building blocks of creativity and imagination.
Here’s something that will make for more exciting nights… The northern lights are heating up
Have a great week learning different and cool things.

Climate & Sustainability: The Defining Issue of the 21st Century - 05/22/2023 03:30 PM
Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) Colloquium Series Menlo Park
The dramatic increase of human population and consumption over the last 100 years has led to exponential growth, both in the use of natural resources and the production of waste streams. The use of fossil fuels and the emissions of greenhouse gases is one example, as are the use of freshwater, minerals, plastics and others. This paradigm of economic growth is presenting unprecedented and interconnected challenges - global warming and climate change, water stress, food security, loss of biodiversity and ecosystems, and public health. While these trends and challenges were recognized in the 20th century, they have been elevated in our global discourse as the defining societal issue of the 21st century. This is raising the question about whether the current approach to economic development is sustainable without significant impact on humanity and our planet. In response, most major nations have now made climate commitments, and more than 60 percent of major global corporations have announced climate or sustainability goals. The world is embarking on a once-in-a-century global economic transition; how to achieve these goals and commitments, however, remains largely unclear and uncertain. Addressing climate change and sustainability requires a deep understanding of earth, climate and society. It is a topic where science, engineering, business, law, social sciences, global health, and humanities are intricately connected. In short, the challenge is complex; and it spans all of academia. Therefore, our response to the challenge demands a whole campus effort towards a common goal. Recognizing this, Stanford launched its first school in 75 years, with the goal of catalyzing an all-campus effort to address these challenges and offering an opportunity to reimagine academia and its value to society. This talk will describe scale, complexity and urgency of the challenge, and how academic research, education and the development of scalable solutions can provide significant value to the global society and our planet.

Capital Malleability and its Implications for Climate Policy Design - 05/22/2023 04:30 PM
Stanford University Energy Seminar Stanford
Integrated assessment models are widely used in economic analysis for deriving best-response policies to the threat of anthropogenic climate change. In this paper, we investigate how the degree of capital malleability influences the optimal climate policy design for alternative assumptions on climate damages and the timing of net-zero emissions policies. We compare a putty-putty setting, where capital is malleable both ex-ante and ex-post of investment decisions with a putty-clay setting where capital intensity cannot be changed ex-post. We find that optimal policy responses differ substantially as the short-term pressure for emissions abatement increases (i.e., climate damages are sufficiently high) or if there is uncertainty on the timing of a net-zero policy. With high climate damages, putty-clay requires much stronger emission intensity improvements than suggested by putty-putty due to the inertia of capital vintages. This must be reflected in command-and-control strategies when straight carbon pricing at the social cost of carbon is not feasible. We also show that hedging against policy uncertainty such as the timing of net-zero emissions can create substantial differences in the optimal abatement path between putty-putty and putty-clay.
Thomas Rutherford is an applied economist working on issues in trade, energy and environmental economics.

Ethernet @ 50 - 05/22/2023 06:30 PM
Computer History Museum Mountain View
On May 22, 1973, a young researcher at Xerox PARC named Bob Metcalfe sent a memo outlining his concept for connecting the research center’s computers. He called it Ethernet and teamed up with hardware wizard Dave Boggs to make it real. Fifty years later, Ethernet connects us all - to each other and to the global internet. We take for granted how much Ethernet and its offshoot Wi-Fi have transformed our world.
So, how exactly did Ethernet come to life? And how did an unorthodox standard for local connections triumph over competitors backed by IBM and other leading firms? Ethernet’s path was far from smooth, and it offers lessons for innovation and entrepreneurship today. We’ll also explore the impact of Ethernet and look at what’s next as ever-higher bandwidths and multiplying connections unlock future opportunities. Join us to celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the defining technologies of our time.
What You’ll Experience
Hear stories from coinventor of Ethernet Bob Metcalfe and networking pioneers about the creation and development of Ethernet Discover how entrepreneurs and executives turned Ethernet into a dynamic global industry Attend a special live recording of The Vergecast, the flagship podcast of The Verge, focused on key contemporary network issues from net neutrality to closing the digital divide.

Physics of Morphogenesis - 05/23/2023 03:30 PM
Hewlett Teaching Center Stanford
Morphogenesis is a developmental process through which plants and animals acquire their shape and form. Although Biology has identified many of the key genes and cellular mechanisms of morphogenesis, the question of how Living Matter encodes the geometry of the shapes that it generates remains an open problem. This talk will focus on the interplay of physical forces and genetically encoded regulation that underly morphogenic processes. Specifically, the talk will describe how mechanical self-organization on cellular scale acts to convert spatial patterns of developmental gene expression into controlled transformation of tissue shape. We will see that i) simple ideas from Physics go far in explaining non-trivial behavior of tissues, and that ii) “active mechanics” encountered in tissue morphogenesis pushes the envelope of continuum mechanics beyond what we have learned from Landau and Lifshitz.

The Rationalizing Role of Consciousness and the Moral Status of Fish, AI, and Zombies - 05/23/2023 04:30 PM
Margaret Jacks Hall (Bldg 460) Stanford
It is intuitively obvious that our conscious experiences play a part in rationalizing our behaviors, at least sometimes. How is this possible? Theories that explain consciousness in terms of mental representation have an easy answer. If conscious states are reducible to mental representations, then it is the contents of these more basic representations that rationalize our behaviors. Theories that do not tie conscious states directly to mental representations have a harder time, but they do have a story to tell. Conscious states do not have representational content built into them. Rather, they pick up representational content because we use them in certain ways, as signals of outward phenomena. It is in virtue of this derived representational content that conscious states can rationalize behavior. I will argue that if this is the right way of looking at things, then the phenomenal character of a creature’s experiences cannot make a moral difference to how we should treat that creature. No matter what your theory of consciousness is, I think that tells us something interesting about what matters morally. I will go on to draw some lessons for hard cases of moral status: philosophical zombies, fish, and AI.

Nutritional Epigenetics - 05/23/2023 06:00 PM
San Mateo Public Library
Nutritional epigenetics is the science of how nutrition affects genes. Stanford researcher Dr. Lucia Aronica investigates how environmental factors can affect the function of genes and one's health and longevity. Unlike genetic factors, epigenetic modifications are flexible and can store cell memories of life exposures such as diet, stress or environmental toxins. Learn how you can make nutritional changes towards better health! This program is coordinated by the San Mateo Public Library's Biotechnology Learning Center.
This is a virtual event and registration is required at weblink.
Destination: Moon - Livestream - 05/23/2023 06:00 PM
Night Sky Network
The Artemis missions will include a mix of crewed and robotic landings. Thirteen regions near the South Pole of the Moon have been identified as candidates for human exploration. Some of these same regions have also been targeted for precursor robotic landings through the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) Program. In addition, locations away from the South Pole have been designated as targeted sites for robotic exploration due to some fascinating aspects of these sites. Other locations which have not yet been assigned landers are high on the lunar science community’s list of important lunar locations to be explored. In this presentation, we will examine key potential target sites on the Moon, discuss what makes them so compelling, and demonstrate how members of the public can conduct their own explorations of these amazing lunar locations using NASA’s Moon Trek data visualization and analysis portal.

Svalbard: Wild Land, Wild Ice, Wild Life - Livestream - 05/23/2023 07:00 PM
American Cetacean Society
Join us for an evening with award-winning wildlife photographer, Jodi Frediani who introduces us to Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago located north of the Arctic Circle, not far from the North Pole. This cluster of islands is home to polar bears, walruses, reindeer, and arctic foxes, and provides breeding and nesting grounds for thousands of seabirds. Ice covers more than 60% of the land mass, and the remaining tundra, grass, and moss-covered plains slope up toward perilous, high, ragged cliffs. Towering mountain peaks rise dramatically, surrounded by glaciers of blue and black ice. And the Arctic Ocean bathes them all.
Jodi will take us on a photographic voyage circumnavigating Svalbard's largest island, Spitzbergen, where we'll meet many of the wild inhabitants, take in the breathtaking landscapes, and marvel at icebergs, glaciers, and polar ice caps. Once a base for whalers and later home to coal mining, two-thirds of the archipelago is now protected by seven national parks and 23 nature reserves. Only global warming may still be her undoing. It is up to us to treasure this spectacular environment and do what we can to slow the warming of our planet.

Quintupling global energy efficiency by 2060 - 05/24/2023 11:00 AM
Paul Brest Hall Stanford
Using energy more productively has delivered half of the past two decades’ global decarbonization. IPCC says efficient use could also deliver 40 - 70% of future decarbonization. (In the Pacific Northwest, efficiency met 60% of 1980 - 2015 growth in service demand and projected 70% to 2035. IEA has just doubled global efficiency’s forecast pace, as many countries pledge.) These gains are possible through observed strong technological progress plus the severalfold improvements achieved by “integrative design” - a proven method to optimize buildings, vehicles, equipment, and industrial processes as whole systems for multiple benefits. By transforming how technologies are chosen, combined, timed, and sequenced, integrative design yields decreasing cost and often increasing returns that echo the dynamism of energy transition agendas focused overwhelmingly on cleaner supply.
Capturing this vast new opportunity space and changing integrative design from rare to common looks achievable through ~20 known scaling vectors, some rooted in new design pedagogy for academia and business. These scaling vector complement established ways to scale supply-side solutions, but are less mature and need systematic testing and spreading. Capturing the rich synergies between supply- and demand-side elements could rebalance the whole portfolio of transition investments, accelerating decarbonization with lower risk and even higher profits.
By including integrative design, global energy efficiency could roughly quintuple in the next several decades, then more. But this cornucopia is the manual model; we must avidly pursue the scaling vectors to turn the crank. This could create abundance by design not just in energy but in all resources.

How to Boost U.S. Productivity in the AI Era - 05/24/2023 06:00 PM
Commonwealth Club San Francisco
Recent advances in artificial intelligence are raising hopes of a U.S. productivity boom by automating mundane tasks, improving decision-making, and opening up new business models and opportunities. At the same time, many workers are skeptical, fearing that the new tools may make them obsolete. What impact will AI have on businesses and employees in the long and short term? And how can we be more productive while also ensuring that the benefits will be distributed equally?
A new report by the McKinsey Global Institute, "Rekindling Productivity for a New Era," sheds light on these questions. The study examines which sectors and geographic regions, such as California, have been the most innovative and productive, and what it took to achieve that success. "To unlock value from truly new technology, firms must reconfigure how they work, often over sustained periods, as they tinker with processes and workers adapt their skills," the report finds.
The study also argues that maintaining the status quo is not an option. U.S. productivity has been lagging since 2005, averaging 1.4 percent a year, compared to the post-World War II average of 2.2 percent. Bringing productivity up to its historical average could add an additional $10 trillion to the U.S. GDP over the next 10 years, amounting to an extra $15,200 per U.S. household.
We'll talk with McKinsey's Olivia White about how to fix the U.S. productivity engine in a way that benefits everyone.

Insects in Crisis - Livestream - 05/25/2023 04:00 PM
Skeptical Inquirer
Insects can seem to be everywhere, all at once - sometimes to an annoying degree. After all, three out of every four known animal species on Earth are insects. But these dazzlingly adept creatures - which pre-date the dinosaurs - are suffering a silent and hugely consequential crisis, with their numbers plummeting around the world.
What does it mean when the world’s pollinators crash at a time when the global demand for food is only increasing? What crucial roles do insects play to prop up ecosystems and food webs - and what happens when this status quo is threatened? Milman’s book, The Insect Crisis: The Fall of the Tiny Empires that Run the World, outlines the ramifications of this loss and explores what’s causing all this to happen.

Faster! Catching up to Electrons on the Move - 05/25/2023 07:00 PM
Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) Public Lecture Series Menlo Park
Electrons are tiny particles that hold together the atoms in molecules. When sunlight interacts with a molecule, it first transfers its energy to the electrons. Then, as the electrons move, the molecule changes form, reshaping itself or even breaking apart. We do not fully understand how electrons affect the molecules to which they belong because it is very hard to catch them in action. Electrons move incredibly quickly, and they behave according to the peculiar laws of quantum mechanics. But now, we can follow the motion of electrons using SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source, an accelerator that can make pulses of X-rays that are shorter than one millionth of a billionth of a second. In this lecture, I will explain how this one-of-a-kind tool allows us to watch speedy electrons as they move.
