Integrating blue foods into national climate strategies - LivestreamBlue or aquatic foods - foods that are wild-caught or farmed from oceans, rivers, and lakes - are increasingly recognized as a priority for climate action, yet they are often overlooked in climate discussions and underfunded in mitigation and adaptation financing. Policymakers have an opportunity to address climate impacts on ...
In her presentation, Katrin will discuss a newly developed methodology for projecting the costs of novel low-carbon technologies, with a focus on Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies. This research introduces a novel approach for projecting technology costs by assigning empirically grounded experience rates to technology components based on their similarity ...

Sewers for surveillance: Harnessing wastewater monitoring data for public health action - LivestreamThis month, the Bay Area Open Science Group will be joined by Elana Chan, a Civil & Environmental Engineering PhD Candidate in the Boehm Research Group at Stanford studying how wastewater monitoring data may be interpreted for public health action. Elana was recently awarded the Stanford University Libraries Data Sharing ...
I will discuss how vertebrate skin colours and skin appendages (scales, feathers, hairs, ...) are patterned through Turing and mechanical instabilities. First, I will show that Reaction-diffusion (RD) models are particularly effective for understanding skin colour patterning at the macroscopic scale, without the need to parametrise the profusion of variables ...
Super-resolution imaging and other fluorescence techniques have become seminal tools for scientists due to their ability to resolve heterogeneity and features normally obscured in traditional diffraction limited imaging. Super-resolution imaging has been optimized for and enabled important findings in cellular biophysics and catalysis, yet, super-resolution microscopy techniques have had limited ...

Electric Vehicle Expo at StanfordThe EV Expo features 6 different makes / models of electric vehicles brought to campus by local residents who volunteer to share their insight and expertise as owners.Ice cream will be served to people who can demonstrate engagement with EV owners.Stanford’s Solar Car Team is also anticipated as an exhibitor ...
In the high-technology world, organizations innovate or die. Standing still is not an option. Too often, team leaders are selected for their technical expertise; the best contributor gets selected to lead. Unfortunately, this often leads to disaster. Leadership requires a particular set of soft skills, and, too often, companies promote ...
