Hello again friends,
Last week the Caldor Fire came within two blocks of my friends’ home in South Lake Tahoe The weather phenomenon Ida caused misery, deaths, and many billions worth of damage. It is the consensus of experts that climate change brought upon by heightened CO2 levels is largely to blame for both. On the plus side, alternatives to fossil fuel energy generation comprise a growing, profitable industry, and The Department of Human Services has added an Office of Climate Change and Health Equity.
Just as the next ‘big one’ earthquake could occur at any time, a mass coronal ejection from our Sun could occur at any time and wreak havoc with electric transmission lines and the Internet. ¿But who’d a thunk that a cosmic event in a distant galaxy has the potential to rig an election? By the way, a single computer chip nowadays typically contains 5,000,000,000 transistors, keeping apace with Moore’s Law.
¿How does a lobster ‘feel’ when it's dropped into a boiling pot of water? The British parliament is attempting to draw a line between sentient and non-sentient animals. We all know that our large, folded cerebrum makes us ‘brainier’ than other animals -- or maybe not.
There are no difficulties in understanding the odd viral processes in this video, so long as we recognize that drawing a line between life and non-life assumes the existence of a true dichotomy. Instead, consider biology (or ‘überbiology’) as the study of processes whereby molecules that contain complex information - such as DNA and RNA - evolve instructions for replicating themselves. An example is the human genome. Our genome is able to replicate itself via instructions for creating humans who reproduce via meiosis, sex, mitosis, embryology, intelligence, and sexual maturation. Another example is the coronavirus genome. It is able to replicate itself via instructions for building a protein envelope that binds to a cell’s ACE2 receptor, delivers its genome into the cell, and uses the cell’s machinery to build a new protein envelope encapsulating a new copy of the genome; a process involving minutes instead of years. An amazing number of strategies for genome replication are employed on this planet, some doubtless yet to be discovered. I recommend Richard Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene for more on this topic.
For a story of wildlife biology, cancer, medicine, and health, i suggest this success story.
Of eleven entrants, Hal Beilen won the Revell model of Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo / WhiteKnightTwo, but only after a second round. He and one other picked 898, which was the closest to the randomly generated 992. In Round Two, Hal’s 461 was closer to the randomly generated 274.
This time we are giving away a teensy tiny model of the same thing: Virgin Galactic’s SpaceshipTwo and WhiteKnightTwo. It’s a metal diecast 1:400 scale model with a 12.4 cm wingspan and a display stand. Same rules: Send me an email (only one) before noon Friday with an integer between zero and 1,000. We will then use a random number generator to select the target number. The person who came closest wins the model.
BTW, the FAA grounded Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShip2 because it exited its protected airspace on its July 11th flight. As a (currently inactive) pilot, let me break that down. The FAA creates Terminal Control Areas (‘volumes’ actually) over airports that look like gargantuan upside-down wedding cakes for the protection of aircraft (and spaceships) while taking off and landing. Aircraft are prohibited from entering the wedding cake without FAA permission. I’m guessing that the highest (and widest) layer over Spaceport America extends up pretty dang high. Apparently their SpaceShip2 descended out of a layer into uncontrolled airspace outside of the next lower (and narrower) layer. It took them nearly two minutes to steer back inside the Terminal Control Area.
Last Thursday, the Firefly Aerospace company launched its first rocket to put a payload into Earth orbit. Apparently one of its four engines failed, and all four were necessary for steering, so it eventually lost control and was destroyed by ground control. Oops.
The Perseverance Rover successfully obtained a rock sample last week after previously failing.
Astronomer Carolyn Shoemaker died at age 92 last week. She is credited with discovering and co-discovering 32 comets and more than 500 asteroids. The most spectacular of these was discovered by Carolyn, her husband, and David Levy: Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 which later crashed into Jupiter.

Elucidating reaction mechanisms by imaging ion-neutral collisions - 09/07/2021 04:00 PM
Latimer Hall Berkeley
To understand the dynamics of chemical reactions has driven research for more than a century. A powerful approach to this goal are molecular scattering experiments under single-collision conditions. In the last years, we have developed techniques to investigate ion-molecule reactions, which are important in various branches of science from chemical synthesis in solution to the evolution of interstellar molecular clouds. In this talk I will discuss different reaction mechanisms of nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions that we have unraveled using crossed-beam velocity map imaging.

Fear of a Black Universe - Livestream - 09/08/2021 03:00 PM
Commonwealth Club - Online Event
In his latest book, Fear of a Black Universe: An Outsider's Guide to the Future of Physics, Brown University's Dr. Stephon Alexander explores some of nature's deepest questions. He uses the principles of invariance, quantization, and emergence to address ideas at the outer limits of physics, including even what happened before the big bang and what makes consciousness possible! Dr. Alexander argues that further progress in physics will likely be enhanced by embracing the excluded, listening to the formerly unheard, and being fearless in the face of possible error.

Marine Protected Areas in Small Island Developing States - Livestream - 09/08/2021 03:30 PM
Estuary & Ocean Science Center
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) often fall into a classification of being Ocean States, where their Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is much larger than the size of their land. This underscores the importance of marine protected areas (MPAs) in these countries many of which depend primarily on coastal tourism and fisheries. However, MPAs in many of these countries are not adequately funded by the government and this responsibility is in the hands of small environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs). With direct involvement with the scientific community, the link between research and conservation has become more intimate, including actions in habitat restoration, fisheries assessment, coral disease, marine invasive species, water quality among other key elements.

System Error: Rebooting our Tech Future - 09/08/2021 07:00 PM
Computer History Museum Mountain View
Big tech's relentless focus on optimization is driving a future that reinforces discrimination, erodes privacy, displaces workers, and pollutes the information we get.
It doesn't need to be this way.
Armed with an understanding of how technologists think and exercise their power, three Stanford professors--a philosopher, a political scientist, and a computer scientist--reveal how we can hold that power to account.
Troubled by the values that permeate the university's student body and its culture, they worked together to chart a new path forward, creating a popular course to transform how tomorrow's technologists approach their profession. Now, as the dominance of big tech becomes an explosive societal conundrum, they share their provocative insights and concrete solutions to help everyone understand what is happening, what is at stake, and what we can do to control technology instead of letting it control us.
Join us as Rob Reich, Mehran Sahami, and Jeremy Weinstein discuss how big tech's obsession with optimization and efficiency has sacrificed fundamental human values. Sharing ideas from their new book, “System Error: Where Big Tech Went Wrong and How We Can Reboot,” they’ll also outline steps we can take to change course, renew our democracy, and chart a better future.

A History of Civilization in Twelve Clocks - Livestream - 09/09/2021 12:30 PM
Long Now Foundation
How has time been imagined, politicized, and weaponized over the centuries - and how it might bring peace?
Horologist David Rooney tells the hidden story of timekeeping and how it continues to shape our modern world. From medieval water clocks to monumental sundials, and from coastal time signals to satellites in earth's orbit, Rooney takes us on a global journey that showcases the ingenuity and craftsmanship humans have used to track and measure time. His in-depth research illustrates the very real effects clocks and timekeeping have on everything from navigation, to capitalism, to politics, to our very identity.
An expert storyteller, Rooney brings pivotal moments from the past vividly to life and shows us how a history of clocks is a history of civilization.
David Rooney, is a historian of technology and expert on clocks and timekeeping practices. As a curator at the Science Museum, London, Rooney was the lead caretaker of Long Now's Prototype 1 of The 10,000 Year Clock which is on display there in the Making of the Modern World exhibit.

Snowy Plover Conservation in the Bay Area: Successes and Challenges in a Shifting Landscape - Livestream - 09/09/2021 05:00 PM
San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory
The Western Snowy Plover (Charadrius nivosus nivosus) is a federally threatened, ground-nesting shorebird species that breeds, roosts, and forages along the Pacific Coast from Southern Washington down to the tip of Baja California. While their typical habitat across the range is sandy beaches, within the San Francisco Bay, where up to 10% of the range-wide breeding population may be found, Snowy Plovers instead utilize salt panne habitat found within former salt production ponds. Snowy Plovers in the Bay Area face unique challenges to recovery compared to other parts of the range due to their habitat type and location within a large urbanized area. For close to 20 years, SFBBO has been working closely with federal, state, and local agencies to better understand these challenges and help Snowy Plovers meet regional recovery goals. This talk will focus on recent Snowy Plover conservation successes and challenges within the South Bay, especially within Alameda County, which annually holds the majority of Snowy Plover breeding in the Bay Area.

Deep Learning-Assisted Analysis of Anomalous Nanoparticle Surface Diffusion in Liquid Phase TEM - 09/10/2021 02:00 PM
Tan Hall Berkeley
Beginning with Robert Brown’s original observation in 1828, various techniques have been developed to study the hydrodynamics and interactions of particles in solution. These techniques have inspired or been followed by development of theories that are capable of describing these fundamental aspects of micron-scale particles. Yet, many of the underlying assumptions break down at the nanoscale regime, requiring development of new techniques and theories to understand the fundamentals of interactions and dynamics at the nanoscale. Liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (LCTEM) is a promising technique for studying motion of nanoparticles in liquid with high spatial and temporal resolution. However, the lack of understanding of how the electron beam of a transmission electron microscope affects the particle motion has held back advancement in using LCTEM for in situ single nanoparticle and macromolecule tracking at interfaces. In this talk, I will present my recent work on studying the anomalous diffusive motion of a model system of gold nanorods dispersed in water and moving near the silicon nitride membrane of a commercial liquid cell in a broad range of electron beam dose rates. By leveraging the power of convolutional deep neural networks as well as canonical statistical tests, I show that there is a crossover in diffusive behavior of nanoparticles in LCTEM from fractional Brownian motion at low dose rates, resembling diffusion in a viscoelastic medium, to continuous time random walk at high dose rates, resembling diffusion on an energy landscape with trapping sites. I will then discuss how this work forms the foundation to study equilibrium and nonequilibrium processes for a broad range of nanoparticles, interfaces, and fluids in chemical and biological systems.

Afternoon Walk at Pillar Point Bluff - 09/11/2021 04:30 PM
Pillar Point Bluff Half Moon Bay
Join Peninsula Open Space Trust for an afternoon Hike at Pillar Point Bluff just north of Half Moon Bay! You will be guided by a POST representative who will share details about the area’s interesting natural history, from the coastal scrub habitat to the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve that hosts tide pools and breeding grounds for harbor seals.
The walk is moderate at about 2.5 miles round trip with around 300 feet of gradual elevation gain.
In 2004, POST stepped in to fund protection of the bluff, restore it to ecological health, and construct a 1.6-mile section of the California Coastal Trail that now runs across it. Today, all 161 acres of the bluff are fully protected in perpetuity - a process that took four transactions, 11 years of work, and an array of visionaries, landowners and donors, both public and private.

Strong electronic interactions in narrow electronic bands give rise to emergent phases such as fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states, charge density waves, and magnetism. Quantitative understanding of these phases requires probing thermodynamics quantities, which cannot be directly accessed through convential transport measurements that are only sensitive to electron scattering. My talk will focus on using chemical potential measurements to study thermodynamic quantities in several electron-correlated states hosted in graphene heterostructures. Applied to partially filled Landau levels in monolayer graphene, this approach enables us to precisely measure the ground state energy of the FQH liquids and electron solid states. I will discuss the comparison between our experimental results and theoretical calculations which reveals microscopic pictures of these phases. Recently, intrinsic narrow bands have been discovered in twisted bilayer graphene with specific rotating angle. A combined spin and valley (isospin) degeneracy is spontaneously broken by strong electronic interactions in the narrow band. I will also discuss the measurements of chemical potential to investigate isospin magnetism in the system. By determining magnetization and entropy, our measurements indicate an isospin ferromagnetic state that "melts" into an unpolarized Fermi liquid with decreasing temperatures. Our findings imply that isospin fluctuations at finite temperatures might be an important mechanism in understanding certain temperature dependent resistivity phenomena and superconductivity in such systems.

Point cloud applications to collider physics - Livestream - 09/13/2021 11:00 AM
Berkeley Institute for Data Science
At the LHC Experiment, each proton collision creates thousands of particles. Extracting information from a high dimensional space such as the space of collisions requires algorithms that take advantage of particle symmetries while being capable of handling high dimensional inputs. Point cloud processing methods, often applied to robotics and self-driving cars, are able to handle such datasets and exploit the geometrical relationship between points. In this talk, I will present the application of this concept to different problems in collider physics, comparing the results with other well established algorithms.

Why Some Diseases Only Affect Babies - Livestream - 09/13/2021 12:00 PM
Stanford University
Newborns are more susceptible to bacterial pneumonia than older children or adults. In addition, the high rate of chronic lung disease in preterm infants (bronchopulmonary dysplasia) is likely due to infection or exposure to inflammation. Both situations may result from pathogens taking advantage of a window of opportunity as infants transition from an immune tolerant state to one of protection against microbes. While existing dogma has considered newborns as immunocompromised, the facts around the development of immunity are more nuanced.Dr. Lance Prince’s laboratory uses both patient studies and experimental disease models to understand the basic cellular and molecular mechanisms of developmental immunity. In this talk, Dr. Prince will discuss ongoing projects focused on the role of lung macrophage populations in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and in mediating lung repair following injury. Additionally, the molecular basis for newborn susceptibility to Group B streptococcus pneumonia, which rarely causes disease in older populations. The goal of this work is to develop new precision treatment strategies for newborn lung diseases based on fundamental biological mechanisms.
