\"842\"<\/a>Get an up-close look at ground-breaking research and innovative technology from UCSB. Geared towards the community, these talks present the best minds from UCSB covering a wide-range of topics in science, medicine, technology and more. Check out these recent programs:
\n

\nThe Challenges That Society Brings to Engineering Designs<\/a>
\nUnderstand the unique challenges that surface when seeking to design and control physical infrastructure such as transportation networks, power grids and data centers.<\/p>\n

Why Antibiotics Fail – People Are Not Petri Plates<\/a>
\nThe standard antibiotic test used worldwide is based on how well drugs kill bacteria on petri plates \u2014 not in the body. Drugs that pass the standard test often fail to treat bacterial infections, whereas drugs identified by the \u201cin vivo\u201d test are very effective.<\/p>\n

How Biology, Ecology, and Technology Balance Tradeoffs in an Uncertain World<\/a>
\nDo complex systems exhibit fundamental properties? This talk looks at tradeoffs between robustness and fragility that occur in biological, ecological, and technological systems.<\/p>\n

From Bitcoin to Central Bank Digital Currencies<\/a>
\nRod Garratt, UCSB Professor of Economics, describes his work on a project to build a proof of concept for a wholesale interbank payment system that facilitates payments of central bank digital currency using a distributed ledger.<\/p>\n

Overcoming Climate Anxiety at a Time of Global Crisis<\/a>
\nDebora Iglesias-Rodriguez discusses how humans can contribute to improving current ocean problems and eventually return the oceans to a more sustainable state.<\/p>\n

The Remarkable Learning Abilities of the Human Brain<\/a>
\nGreg Ashby studies how people learn new categories of objects. By mapping the neural networks, scientists have been able to identify many important and surprising differences in how we learn.<\/p>\n

The Future of Computer Science: The Rock We Tricked Into Thinking<\/a>
\nExplore the state of the art in computing and how the demands for energy efficient and intelligent systems is driving the creation of entirely new approaches to the problem.<\/p>\n

The Math of Swarming Robots, Superconductors, and Slime Mold<\/a>
\nExplore the mathematics underlying systems of interacting agents and how such systems can be analyzed using an age old scientific technique: what happens if we poke it?<\/p>\n
