New developments in the BICEP program and the next era of deep CMB polarimetry The BICEP/Keck Array program comprises a series of telescopes at the South Pole designed to measure cosmic microwave background polarization on degree angular scales, in search of imprints of inflation. This talk will describe the instrumentation, latest science results and recent improvements enabling further scale up of the program. Using ...
Chemical engineers have been at the forefront of the invention of powerful algorithms that enable the molecular-based analysis of complex technical problems, such as developing strategies for the long-term preservation of therapeutic drugs and estimating the solubility of trace pollutants in water. Building upon a solid foundation in thermodynamics and ...

Beth Shapiro is far from a giddy enthusiast about de-extinction. She knows more than nearly anyone about the subject because she is a highly regarded biologist in the middle of the two leading efforts in the new field-to resurrect extinct woolly mammoths and passenger pigeons. She knows exactly how challenging ...
Dr. Daphne Miller approaches medicine with the idea that opportunities for health and healing can be found in the medical system as well as on farms, nature trails, and in our kitchens. In addition to maintaining her integrative primary care practice in San Francisco, Miller has written two books and ...
