Hello again science fans,
Здравствуйте еще раз, любители науки!
(Over 50,000 Bay Area residents speak Russian at home.)
ENVIRONMENT
“You can’t always get what you want,” and you can’t always see what you want. That is thought to be why Brown Pelicans are starving in California. These prehistoric-looking birds hunt for fish near the water’s surface, then plummet out of the sky to trap them in expanded mouths. When the ocean’s surface is choppy, pelicans are perhaps unable to see fish near the surface. It may also be true that fish avoid the top meter of water when it’s choppy. International Bird Rescue takes care of hundreds of starving Brown Pelicans when such water conditions occur. BTW, i insisted that “International” was in the organization’s name when it was founded, and international it has been, responding over 200 times rescuing birds mired in oil spills in 13 different countries. The cute Pelican & Murre logo was also my doing. International Bird Rescue is headquartered (oddly enough) in Fairfield. They have an interesting early history and rely heavily on public support. (Hint, hint, nudge, nudge)
PALEONTOLOGY
Fossil hunters have found another swamp monster to stalk us in our nightmares.
A human head would easily fit inside its mouth. Fortunately, this tetrapod went extinct over 200 million years ago . This is paleontology, after all.
RAFFLE
We are again offering a coffee mug impersonating a 450ml laboratory beaker. Just send an email before noon Friday to david.almandsmith [at] gmail.com with your guess of an integer between 0 and 1,000. Last time, Samantha in Oregon guessed closest to the randomly generated 250 to win a colorful science-themed t-shirt.
MEDICINE / HEALTH
New coronavirus vaccines are now available. They have been created to protect against the latest and worst varieties of the disease. Older and more immunocompromised individuals shouldn’t wait. The rest of us might consider waiting until a month before a scheduled social or group travel event, but do not skip this new version.
Every autumn i get another flu shot, not because my immune system has faltered, but because flu viruses keep morphing. Immunologists have long attempted to concoct a single vaccine that will be effective year after year. If you are a lab mouse, that goal appears to have been achieved. A nasal vaccine has proven to be effective against a large number of flu clades - in rats. In case you were wondering, they used a form of AI to conjure up their vaccine.
The Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA, announced it is open to journal submissions created by AI. “We have no reservations about using AI to generate abstracts or even full articles as long as the final product can be reviewed and edited.” The Journal also noted that AI chatbots show promise in responding to informal patient questions. “Chatbot responses were of fair quality and appeared to exhibit more empathy than some physicians’ answers.”
The World Health Organization has declared mpox to be a PHEIC, a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. This declaration allows the WHO to use an mpox vaccine without further regulatory delay. The clade Ib mpox virus is spreading rapidly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with an expected 10% fatality rate. At present, mpox is not threatening countries outside of Africa.
Prior to the Flexner Report in 1910, medical education and medical practice in the US was a free-for-all. The Report uncovered many ‘medical schools’ that were thoroughly inadequate, and that many - if not most - treatments and medicines were useless. Snake oils and quack medicine were rampant. The Report recommended many changes that were subsequently implemented; changes that have resulted in rigorous science-based college-affiliated medical schools and medicines that are tested for effectiveness. I suspect that the absence of a similar study in many other countries is one reason why useless medicines and useless treatments persist today outside the US.

SPACE
“Polaris Dawn” or “Billionaire & Friends in Space” doesn’t conjure up quite the same anticipation of excitement as “Flash Gordon and the Monsters of Mongo” but it is pretty ambitious and it is really happening in space this week, not on a movie set. The crew of four - Anna Menon, Scott Poteet, Jared Isaacman, and Sarah Gillis - plan to travel farther from the Earth’s surface than anyone since the Apollo Program a half century ago where they and their SpaceX Dragon capsule will be subjected to the high-energy Van Allen Radiation Belt. They will open the capsule to the vacuum of space (after purging nitrogen from their bodies to avoid the 'bends’) and float out into the void. ¿What could possibly go wrong?
TUNE IN AGAIN NEXT WEEK FOR ANOTHER THRILLING EPISODE!
Meanwhile back at the ranch International Space Station, Suni and Butch are stranded. NASA decided the Boeing Starliner will return empty to Earth due to thruster irregularities. First, however, computers on the Starliner need to be re-programmed for an autonomous re-entry and landing. Thought was given for Suni and Butch to share a ride back to Earth in a scheduled return of two regular crew members in the SpaceX Dragon Capsule currently docked at the ISS, but there are only two Dragon spacesuits available. The Boeing Starliner spacesuit umbilicals cannot connect to the Dragon Capsule. The umbilicals supply communications, air conditioning, and - in the event of decompression - pressure and oxygen.
TUNE IN AGAIN NEXT WEEK FOR ANOTHER DREARY EPISODE!
The European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, Juice, narrowly missed the Moon and Earth last week - on purpose. Launched in April of 2023, it was using gravity assists to speed it up and send it to Venus - which is sorta the wrong way since its destination is Jupiter’s moons. But put trust in those slide-rule toting scientists. The gravity assist from Venus a year from now will speed up Juice even more, sending it back to Earth for another gravity assist in September 2026. But that’s not all, folks. In 2029 it will get a third gravity assist from Earth during yet another close flyby, and that will give it sufficient velocity to reach Jupiter in July 2031. Well almost. The craft also uses the Oberth effect (named after Hermann Oberth of Transylvania) by firing its thrusters during the gravity assists. Combining gravity assists with Oberth ‘burns’ saves a lot of fuel.
Another group of slide-rule toting scientists have ‘imaged’ the surface of Polaris, the North Star, by using an interferometer array at the Wilson Observatory near Los Angeles. They were not expecting Polaris to look so blotchy, but it is the first Cepheid Variable star to be imaged and perhaps all Cepheids are blotchy. Polaris is about 433 light years away, so its apparent diameter from Earth is smaller than a pinhead on top of the UC Berkeley Campanile as seen from the Farallon Islands. My mind is righteously boggled.

"Here are the most important pieces of advice that I've passed on to my children. One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. Three, if you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away."
– Stephen Hawking (1942 - 2018) English theoretical physicist

Two talks: Emerging optics technologies for AR glasses - 08/27/2024 04:00 PM
Spilker Hall Stanford
Full-color 3D holographic augmented-reality displays with metasurface waveguides
Emerging spatial computing systems seamlessly superimpose digital information on the physical environment observed by a user, enabling transformative experiences across various domains, such as entertainment, education, communication and training. However, the widespread adoption of augmented-reality (AR) displays has been limited due to the bulky projection optics of their light engines and their inability to accurately portray three-dimensional (3D) depth cues for virtual content, among other factors. We will discuss a holographic AR system that overcomes these challenges using a unique combination of inverse-designed full-color metasurface gratings, a compact dispersion-compensating waveguide geometry, and artificial-intelligence-driven holography algorithms. These elements are co-designed to eliminate the need for bulky collimation optics between the spatial light modulator and the waveguide and to present vibrant, full-color, 3D AR content in a compact device form factor. To deliver unprecedented visual quality with our prototype, we developed an innovative image formation model that combines a physically accurate waveguide model with learned components that are automatically calibrated using camera feedback. Our unique co-design of a nanophotonic metasurface waveguide and artificial-intelligence-driven holographic algorithms represents a significant advancement in creating visually compelling 3D AR experiences in a compact wearable device.
Speakers: Manu Gopakumar and Gun-Yeal Lee, Stanford University
Laser beam scanning for augmented reality and near-to-eye display applications
One of the key challenges for augmented reality is the development of ultra-compact, lightweight, low-power near-to-eye display solutions with good image quality. Laser Beam Scanning (LBS) technologies can meet these key requirements and deliver form-factors that enable light weight, fashionable, all-day wearable AR smart glasses with the ability to scale resolution and field-of-view (FoV) with low power consumption.
In this talk, we will briefly highlight the key technologies and solutions behind LBS that enable AR smart glasses, as well as more complex mixed reality HMD devices, including MEMS Micromirror scanners systems, laser diode modules, waveguides and LBS systems design considerations. Finally, we will briefly touch upon the ecosystem that supports end product manufacturers with key technologies and devices.
Speaker: Bharath Rajagopalan, STMicroelectronics

Cheaper, Faster, Better: Tom Steyer on Winning the Climate War - 08/27/2024 05:30 PM
Commonwealth Club San Francisco
Most people know of Tom Steyer as the billionaire investor and climate organizer who ran for president in the 2020 election on a climate platform. Though he didn't win, his dedication to supporting and advancing climate solutions has remained steadfast.
In his new book, Cheaper, Faster, Better: How We'll Win the Climate War, Steyer argues that we are in a defining moment: we face the daunting, existential threat of climate change. And yet, with this great challenge comes a great opportunity for innovation, global leadership and economic growth.

Wonderfest: The Fermi Paradox - 08/27/2024 07:00 PM
Hopmonk Tavern Novato
Since 1950, when physicist Enrico Fermi casually posed the question, the mystery has only deepened: Why hasn't ET visited us? Current evidence and reasoning suggest that life has been evolving in the cosmos for billions of years. Moreover, low-speed interstellar travel requires relatively modest technology. So why is the UFO evidence so poor, and the SETI results so ... negative? This special Wonderfest event will feature more "audience participation" than usual. Bring your questions - and possible answers - to address Fermi's fabulous question: Where is everybody?
Speaker: Dan Werthimer, Berkeley SETI Research Center
Moving Cargo, Keeping Whales: Identifying Solutions for Ocean Noise Pollution - Livestream - 08/27/2024 07:00 PM
American Cetacean Society
Whales, as well as all marine organisms, rely on sound for daily life functions, such as communicating, navigating, and foraging. Human activities introduce high levels of noise into the ocean. Commercial shipping, in particular, has increased to the point that ships make a larger contribution to ocean noise than natural noise sources for most ocean locations and over a broad range of frequencies. Dr. Vanessa ZoBell, postdoctoral researcher at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego will discuss the importance of studying whale acoustics, the threats that whales are facing in the modern ocean, and creative solutions to protect these important animals.

Big Data - Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow(2013), Updated to 2024 - 08/27/2024 07:00 PM
Valley Research Park Mountain View
In 2012 a New York Times reporter Steve Lohr investigated the modern history of the phrase Big Data and attributed it to the speaker, who started using it in the early 1990s at Silicon Graphics (SGI). His article generated requests by Silicon Valley meetup groups, so the speaker generated a talk on the long history of big data, which arguably started earlier, but certainly by the 1890 census’ use of Hollerith punch card machines.
The talk covered history through the 1990s, especially at SGI, with some updates for the then-present 2013 and thoughts about futures.
History is always important to understand the present and the future, so this talk repeats much of the history and 2013 views, but adds views on important Big Data changes since, especially the rise of AI.

Neural Mechanisms of Natural Spatial Behaviors in Bats - 08/28/2024 12:00 PM
Stanley Hall Berkeley
Our lab seeks to understand the neural basis of natural spatial behaviors in mammals. To do so, we take a neuroethological approach that leverages the specialization of the bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) for 3D spatial movement and in particular, its ability to elegantly navigate at high spatial precision during high-speed flight and across different sensory conditions. In parallel, we pioneer a suite of cutting-edge technologies that make it possible to study the behavior and neural circuits in freely flying bats in ways not previously possible. In this talk, I will focus on the neural representation in the hippocampus of flying bats across space and time. I will discuss findings addressing how the hippocampus represents spatial information during aerial navigation on both short (milliseconds/seconds) and long (days/weeks) timescales and from single individuals to groups.
