Recent years have been pivotal in the field of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) security, with a large number of high-profile attacks exposing the lack of a design-for-security initiative in ICS. The evolution of ICS abstracting the control logic to a purely software level hosted on a generic OS, combined with hyperconnectivity and the integration of popular open source libraries providing advanced features, have expanded the ICS attack surface by increasing the entry points and by allowing traditional software vulnerabilities to be repurposed to the ICS domain. In this seminar, we will shed light to the security landscape of modern ICS, dissecting firmware from the dominant vendors and motivating the need of employing appropriate vulnerability assessment tools. We will present methodologies for blackbox fuzzing of modern ICS, both directly using the device and by using the development software. We will then proceed with methodologies on hotpatching, since ICS cannot be easily restarted in order to patch any discovered vulnerabilities. We will demonstrate our proposed methodologies on various critical infrastructure testbeds.

Not only is philosopher and author Patrick Linden the insightful co-host of the LEVITY podcast alongside me, Peter Ottsjö, but he's also the perfect first guest in this inaugural episode.We call it ”The Longevity Podcast”. There are pros and cons with that subtitle. On the one hand, ”longevity” is associated with hope and with health, both good things. On the other hand it can also mean different things to different people.Some may, for example, advocate for enhancing healthspan without necessarily extending lifespan, suggesting a quality life limited to eight or nine decades, minimally burdened by the diseases of old age. Patrick and I diverge sharply from this perspective. For us, longevity means:Recognizing that life is inherently valuable and that death, at any age, is a loss. Or, as Patrick likes to say: Life is good and death is bad.Rejecting the notion that anyone should succumb to age-related diseases.Championing the cause to postpone death indefinitely.Achieving this ageless era hinges not only on the advancement of science and the necessary funding but also on shifting societal mindsets.This is where Patrick's prowess truly shines. Having lived and taught in the US, notably at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, his academic and philosophical insights challenge the prevailing norms.In this episode, as well as in his provocative book The Case Against Death, Patrick challenges the pervasive ”wise view” that has been a cornerstone of Western philosophy since at least the days of Epicurus. This philosophical tradition, which spans millennia and includes many of Patrick's predecessors as well as some contemporaries, often portrays death as an inevitable, even natural part of life. Through his sharp analysis and moral reasoning, Patrick exposes the flaws in this view, urging us to rethink our acceptance of mortality as a foregone conclusion. Hosted on Acast.

I'm your host, Alan Hall, along with my co host, Joel Saxam. Starting a new business in the wind industry is particularly difficult. Uh, there are multiple challenges beyond creating a product that the industry needs or wants. Fundraising, staffing, finding an office, technology development, marketing, international sales, the list goes on. Well, there is help on the way. The Offshore Wind Innovation Hub, located in Brooklyn, New York, is a groundbreaking initiative launched by the NYU Tandon School of Engineering in collaboration with Ecuador, and supported by the New York City Economic Development Corporation. The hub's mission is to accelerate the growth of the offshore wind industry by supporting startups developing cutting edge technologies, by providing access to mentorship, industry connections, and resources to scale up. The hub aims to position New York City as a major player in the rapidly growing Offshore wind sector. Leading this ambitious initiative is Tone Sundegaard, uh, the director of the Offshore Wind Innovation Hub. With a background deeply rooted in the Danish wind industry and expensive experience fostering clean tech collaboration between Denmark and the United States, Tone brings a wealth of expertise and passion to her role in shaping the future of offshore wind innovation in New York City and beyond. Tona, welcome to the program. Tone Søndergaard: Thank you so much. Allen Hall: So there is a lot to talk about today, uh, because Hey, we know a lot of small businesses in wind that are trying to get established. We are one of them Uh, and and uh your offshore wind innovation hub Popped up on our radar screen recently, like, Oh, Hey, there's a lot going on there that we didn't know about. And let's get some, get them on the podcast to talk about all the great activities that are happening there. But I want to first step back and talk about what are some of the problems with starting a small business in wind. Tone Søndergaard: I think one of the reasons we really started this innovation hub and found that there was a need for an accelerator program and ecosystem development for the smaller businesses within offshore wind was partly twofold in a way. The first reason really being that we found that smaller businesses, especially within offshore wind, were challenged by what we call information asymmetry, and it was really difficult for many of the smaller businesses who wanted to either move into offshore wind or pivot into offshore wind from other industries to figure out Precisely what is my value proposition? Precisely when in the supply chain do I fit in? Um, and data in this industry tends to be fairly privileged and sort of like held by some of the really major corporations. Um, so that was really one of the problems that we wanted to try and solve with Innovation Hub was to try and give smaller players access to some of this infor...

At 17 years old, inventor and entrepreneur Joe Landolina invented a medical breakthrough that is transforming at-home and in-patient wound care. Landolina conceived an adhesive hemostatic gel composed of plant-based polymers that could adhere to a wound site and simultaneously support the natural clotting process. To refine and manufacture the gel technology he invented, Landolina with his partner Isaac Miller founded Cresilon (formerly Suneris), which has since grown into a medical device company headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. As Chief Executive Officer, Landolina is now gearing up to take the company's proprietary product VETIGEL to the veterinary market-offering a faster, more reliable solution in hemostasis for veterinarians performing both routine treatments and complex operations in clinics every day. As the face of Cresilon, Landolina meets with investors, clinicians, and industry key opinion leaders, alike, to keep a pulse on the market, meanwhile leading all strategic initiatives internally.Landolina's research background is in biocompatible polymers; in 2013, he was selected as a Barry M. Goldwater Scholar in recognition of his outstanding potential in scientific research. In 2014, Landolina was named a TED Global Fellow and has since traveled around the world representing Cresilon. Landolina is also a former Innovation Consultant at his alma mater, NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and on the board of eLab NYC, which supports the development of NYC as the new world leader in life sciences entrepreneurship.Joe Landolina is a force of nature! He was doing chemistry experiments as a teenager, and ended up starting his company, Cresilon, at 17-years old. We talked about his back story and how he learned management and leadership skills, as well as plenty of ups and downs along the way. We also talk about where he got his first clean room (hint: you can buy one too) and what happened when he tried an experiment on his cousin.Learn more about Cresilon | Websitehttps://www.cresilon.com/Connect with Alisa!

Why Do Humans Anthropomorphize AI? Artificial intelligence has become more sophisticated in a short period of time. Even though we may understand that when ChatGPT spits out a response, there's no human behind the screen, we can't help but anthropomorphize—imagining that the AI has a personality, thoughts, or feelings. How exactly should we understand the bond between humans and artificial intelligence? Guest host Sophie Bushwick talks to Dr. David Gunkel, professor of media studies at Northern Illinois University, to explore the ways in which humans and artificial intelligence form emotional connections. A Bee's Eye View Of Cities' Microbiomes When you want to look at the microbial health of a city, there are a variety of ways to go about it. You might look at medical records, or air quality. In recent years, samples of wastewater have been used to track COVID outbreaks. Studies of urban subway systems have involved painstaking swabs of patches of subway muck. But now, researchers are offering another approach to sample a city's environment—its beehives. A report recently published in the journal Environmental Microbiome used the bees foraging in a city to provide information about the town's bacteria and fungi. The researchers found that by looking at the debris in the bottom of a beehive, they could learn about some of the environments in the blocks around the hives. The microbes they collected weren't just species associated with flowers and plant life, but included organisms associated with ponds and dogs. The team found that the hive samples could reveal changes from one neighborhood to another in a city, and in the microbial differences between different cities—samples taken in Venice, for instance, contained signals associated with rotting wood that were not seen in samples from Tokyo. Elizabeth Henaff, an assistant professor in the NYU Tandon School of Engineering at New York University and a co-author of the report, joins SciFri's Kathleen Davis to talk about what bees and microbes can tell us about the cities we share. This Is Your Brain On Words What happens after you pick up a book, or pull up some text on your phone? What occurs between the written words hitting your eyes and your brain understanding what they represent? Scientists are trying to better understand how the brain processes written information—and how a primate brain that evolved to make sense of twisty branches and forking streams adapted to comprehend a written alphabet. Researchers used electrodes implanted in the brains of patients being evaluated for epilepsy treatment to study what parts of the brain were involved when those patients read words and sentences. They found that two different parts of the brain are activated, and interact in different ways when you read a simple list of unrelated words, compared to when you encounter a series of words that builds up a more complex idea. Dr. Nitin Tandon, a professor of neurosurgery at UTHealth Houston and one of the authors of a report on the work published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, joins guest host Sophie Bushwick to talk about the study, and what scientists are learning about how the brain allows us to read. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

IntroductionHave you ever made a comprehensive plan, but it failed anyway? Do you find yourself in extreme positive or negative situations and fail to make the best choice? Well, you are not alone. Better still, you are in good company. Even plans made with endless resources can fail. Governments cannot address problems such as unemployment and war. They also cannot seize opportunities by misallocating public resources. Better planning will enable you to capitalize on opportunities. Preparedness will allow you to cut losses when disasters strike. How do you prepare for unexpected life events? Can you improve the success rate of your plans? The Black Swan is based on the premise that life is full of surprises. Some are good, and some are catastrophic. The book reviews events such as the rise of the Internet and devastating wars. It also studies our tendency to offer explanations when confronted with significant events. The book offers insight into the nature of unexpected events. It also looks at typical human reactions. Finally, ithttps://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/22/books/chapters/0422-1st-tale.html ( provides tips on managing life's extremes better). About Nassim Nicholas TalebNassim Nicholas Taleb is a Lebanese American author. He is also a statistician, risk analyst, and former options trader. The Black Swan is one of the five-volume philosophical essays, Incerto. He published Incerto between 2001 and 2018. Taleb teaches risk engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering and is a Risk and Decision Analysis journal co-editor. In addition, the remarkable statistician has authored over a dozen inspiring books. Taleb's approach to risk management saw him profit from contemporary financial crises. He advocates for a black swan approach to financial markets that caters to hard-to-predict events in decision-making. Taleb also advocates for decentralized scientific research and aims to overcome gaps in current studies. Nassim Taleb authored four other books in Incerto. These books have won many accolades and have gained a global audience. Taleb's unique style includes a mixed narrative; the reporting is semi-autobiographical and philosophical. It has led The Black Swan to win several awards. StoryShot #1: Black Swan Events are Unprecedented and Have a Huge Impact. Later, They Are Explained Away as PredictableHistory and society jump—incremental change does not happen as we expect. The scientific approach involves tracking events based on progression. Unfortunately, societies move from fracture to fracture, and explaining events using a cause-and-effect basis is flawed. People mainly saw white swans for the majority of history. Some societies even believed that black swans did not exist. A group of explorers first saw a black swan in Western Australia in 1967. The stunning news spread across Europe and the world like wildfire. The tale of the black swan inspired many scholars. Philosophers such ashttps://www.investopedia.com/terms/j/john-stuart-mill.asp ( John Stuart Mill) used the term ‘black swan' when referring to rare, improbable events. Taleb proposes that black swan events have the following characteristics: They are not expected. They have a considerable impact on the world. People later give convincing explanations of what happened. Notable black swan events include World War II and the market crash of 1987. 9/11 and the discovery of antibiotics are also black swan events. The Lebanese Civil War was a black swan event. Christians and Muslims had lived peacefully for over 1300 years. The Lebanese culture preached tolerance. Schoolchildren respected their neighbors' cultures. A...
In another fascinating Nomad Futurist Podcast, Tom Brennan, the Executive Director of CREST, a cybersecurity company, spoke with Phil and Nabeel about his life as a public interest technologist. Brennan has had a fascination with technology ever since he was a child. He lived as an island boy in his teens, repairing an old Tele video 802-H brought by his grandfather from its work. His first exposure to machine repair led him to work at a local computer store selling and installing used IBM computer equipment. In addition to working in the digital field, he served in the Marine Corps, where he learned how to serve a greater cause than himself. Even though he left the army in 1991 after breaking his back in a recorded live fire shooting, this experience was the foundation for his burgeoning career in cybersecurity. From then on, he used technology as a method in forensics, investigation, and assisting in various startups. “I don't necessarily think that schools need to change the mentality, but I do think that there should be a reward program as it's been difficult for most of the cyber folks.” Brennan expressed that the least the companies could do is require the applicant to do a first-hand demonstration of essential incident response, security services, or penetration testing. He said that while there are many book smarts, the most qualified candidates for the job are passionate about convergence, the physical and electronic sides of security. He believes the most common misconception in cybersecurity is that people mistake it for convenience. People are unaware that the fundamentals will cause them to lose all their information and passwords. “It serves the ethics side of the good guys and the ethics of the bad guys because the internet is a wonderful place. It allows everybody to operate. So, it's in everyone's interest to make it operational.” He emphasised that while the scope of their job is to keep an eye out for users who are prone to data breaches, people should also understand that the field is highly dynamic and that they should learn how to protect their accounts. “You are your own bank. If you're going to be your own bank, and you're going to go ahead and have controls in place… you must determine what good looks like.” In his final message to the youth, he stated that to be successful in the field, one must be exposed to the right company and experiences. It will assist them in collaborating skills that will fruit their specialities. “Security is not compliance. Compliance is compliance; security helps. But if you're secure, you're most likely going to be compliant because all the standards out there are the best practices.” Tom leads the Americas Council and collaborates with government and commercial organisations to maximise our value as a cybersecurity accreditation body and advocate for industry standards. His attention is drawn to the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency's 16 critical infrastructure sectors, which are essential to US security, the national economy, and public health and safety. He directs strategic plans for our organisation's expansion while serving as an industry evangelist and educator on the importance of using accredited cybersecurity products and professionals to improve consumer privacy, security, and protections globally. Tom is a former US Marine who has been involved with CREST since 2016. He currently serves as the Chief Information Officer for the national law firm Mandelbaum Salsburg, overseeing critical infrastructure, privacy, and security operations. He is also a member of the Gerson Lehrman Group's Advisory Board, a member of the County College of Morris' Information Technology Advisory Committee, a Senior Advisor and Industry Advisory Board Member of the New Jersey Institute of Technology, and a member of the NYU Tandon School of Engineering's Cyber Fellows Advisory Council. Working with OWASP was also a previous...
On this Episode of the Transition, I continue doing some Ecosystem building, by sitting down with Alexa Modero, Director of the Veteran Future Lab at the NYU, a no-cost incubator that houses early-stage ventures led by veterans and military spouses. VFL has a world class digital makerspace at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering in Brooklyn, NY. Similar to Bunker Labs, they have programs for early stage small businesses, and venture backable startups, seeking investment. One of the reasons I wanted to get Alexa on the show to talk about VFL on the show is so you understand the massive amount of opportunities available to you veteran entrepreneurs and military spouses. Alexa is a military spouse and former VIR Alumni and Ambassador for Bunkers in NYC. With all the different programs available in the ecosystem, it can be hard to determine which one is a good fit for you, and how to leverage it. Alexa and I talk about VFL's program offerings, how they think about curriculum development, and what sets VFL apart from other programs in the ecosystem. If you want to get plugged into the Bunker Labs ecosystem, visit www.BunkerLabs.org, select a city nearest to you, sign up for the local newsletter, and attend one of our networking. It's that simple.
A detailed exploration of parents' fight for a safe environment for their kids, interrogating how race, class, and gender shape health advocacy The success of food allergy activism in highlighting the dangers of foodborne allergens shows how illness communities can effectively advocate for the needs of their members. In Food Allergy Advocacy: Parenting and the Politics of Care (U Minnesota Press, 2022), Danya Glabau follows parents and activists as they fight for allergen-free environments, accurate labeling, the fair application of disability law, and access to life-saving medications for food-allergic children in the United States. At the same time, she shows how this activism also reproduces the culturally dominant politics of personhood and responsibility, based on an idealized version of the American family, centered around white, middle-class, and heteronormative motherhood. By holding up the threat of food allergens to the white nuclear family to galvanize political and scientific action, Glabau shows, the movement excludes many, including Black women and disabled adults, whose families and health have too often been marginalized from public health and social safety net programs. Further, its strategies are founded on the assumption that market-based solutions will address issues of social exclusion and equal access to healthcare. Sharing the personal experiences of a wide spectrum of people, including parents, support group leaders, physicians, entrepreneurs, and scientists, Food Allergy Advocacy raises important questions about who controls illness activism. Using critical, intersectional feminism to interrogate how race, class, and gender shape activist priorities and platforms, it shows the way to new, justice-focused models of advocacy. Danya Glabau is a medical anthropologist and science and technology studies scholar who researches patient activism, the political economy of the global pharmaceutical industry, and feminist cybercultures. She is a faculty member at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering and the Director of the Science and Technology Studies Program.

Will Russia's War In Ukraine Finally Spur A Clean Energy Revolution? This week President Biden tightened sanctions on Russia, cutting off imports of Russian oil to the United States in response to Russia's war on Ukraine. The conflict has put a sudden, sharp pressure on an already strained energy system, causing uncertainty—and rising prices. However, in a recent Quinnipiac poll, 71% of Americans said they favored cutting off Russian oil imports, even if it resulted in higher prices at the pump. And the German Economic Ministry announced plans to speed up wind and solar projects as it seeks to lessen its dependence on Russian energy. Ira talks with Dan Esty, Hillhouse Professor at Yale University, director of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy, and co-director of the Yale Initiative on Sustainable Finance, about whether the Ukraine conflict might hasten a worldwide shift to greener energy sources. They discuss the role that pressure from commercial entities and investors might have on long-term climate policy. Searching For Life On The Red Planet Prompts Deeper Questions As rovers like Perseverance and Curiosity roam the surface of Mars in search of signs of past life, SciFri producer Christie Taylor asks scientists and science-fiction podcasters Mike Wong and Moiya McTie, “How do you define ‘life' anyway?” Plus, how to find habitable exoplanets, the case for Europa as a source of more interesting organisms than Mars, and why Star Trek's hive mind alien, the Borg, is a good example of an alternate way of being alive. Where Does Toilet Water Go? Many of us have morning routines that use a lot of water. After the alarm goes off, folks may stumble to the kitchen for a glass of water, then head to the bathroom to use the toilet, brush teeth, and take a shower. That very normal part of many people's mornings is water-intensive. And where does that all go? For many Americans, it's a given that when we do dishes or wash our hands, that water is out of sight, out of mind—we don't have to think about it again. But wastewater and sewage systems are complex and essential networks to our daily lives. And when they don't work as we expect, whether that's due to flooding or aged infrastructure, it's a major problem. There's a whole community of engineers and scientists devoted to improving our wastewater and sewage systems to reflect our changing planet. More people living in cities, and increased rain from climate change are two recent examples of major adjustments that our systems weren't built to handle. But researchers are now leading projects like New York's Flood Sense, which alerts residents to sewage exposure, while SARS-CoV-2 detection in city wastewater has demonstrated the importance of monitoring these systems. Joining Ira to talk about the importance of sewer science is Andrea Silverman, assistant professor of environmental engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering.

Her second book project, Cyborg (MIT Press), is co-authored with Laura Forlano and will offer an introduction to feminist cyborg theory for scholarly, technical, and non-scholarly audiences.
Overview In this episode, I got to chat with one of the founding fathers and an amazing advocate of Online Learning, Bob Ubell. Bob takes us back in time to where it all began with what we know as Online Learning today. He knew something big was coming and happened to be in the right place at the right time. Bob is a proud fellow of Online Learning Consortium (OLC), and a member of their advisory board. In this episode, he shares all the details of his experiences from Standford to NYU to Steven's Institute. You can learn more about where to purchase Bob's books from his website at bobubell.com. More about Bob Ubell In his own words… Online learning expert, Robert Ubell is a columnist for EdSurge and also writes for Inside Higher Ed, The Chronicle, and other major publications. He consults for universities and industry about securing digital education success. As online dean, his programs at Stevens Institute of Technology and NYU delivered digital education to 30,000 students. His most recent books are Going Online (Routledge, 2017) and Virtual Teamwork (Wiley, 2000). Staying Online (Routledge, 2021) will be released in September. An excerpt appeared in EdSurge in March. Visit Ubell's website at bobubell.com. At Stevens, he ran four joint Master's degrees in China at Beijing Institute of Technology and Central University of Finance and Economics.

“If my legacy is that I have been a kind and good person, that is enough for me.”Do you ever wonder about your parents' and grandparents' stories? What their life was like before you came into the world? What's stopped you from asking those questions, and how can you hear those stories in time?We're so excited to invite Sarah Park back onto the podcast. You may remember her from ep 63, where we all debated about Facetune, filters, and cancel culture. She's back for a very different reason and a personal project of hers: she recently released “A Portrait of Us | 우리의 착한 이야기,” a documentary about her grandparents.A poignant, introspective telling of her grandparents' immigration story, Sarah amazes us with her intentionality behind each thought, word, and shot in this film. We get to chat with her about legacy, the level of openness and transparency in multigenerational conversations, and the behind the scenes of choosing when to invest in oneself through a passion project.Watch “A Portrait of Us | 우리의 착한 이야기”vimeo.com/598611004More about SarahSarah Park is a Korean American video editor and storyteller based in NYC.

“The future of the auto industry is electric.” That's according to President Biden, who's made the transition to electric vehicles a major part of his infrastructure package. Electrifying everything, from our cars to our home heating systems, is key to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and fighting climate change. But to do that, we need batteries. This hour, we take a look at the science behind how lithium ion batteries work, and the role experts say they will play in the future of our energy system. We also examine what these batteries mean for our environment.

The Sun generates huge magnetic storms with some regularity and streams billions of tons of charged particles. These storms are supposed to reach their peak activity in 2025. With it comes the likelihood of large impact on the Earth, with potential damage to our communications systems and power grids, causing enormous strife and financial loss. We missed a few such storms in the last 25 years. Will we be lucky and miss them again? This talk discusses what happens inside the Sun that leads to such storms. Speaker К.R. Sreenivasan, Professor of Physics and Mathematics, University Professor and Eugene Kleiner Chair for Innovation, Dean Emeritus of NYU Tandon School of Engineering, NYU

Last fall, a bunch of us got sick at the same time, and it seemed likely that the virus spread at the workplace. The question came up: who came to work sick? Or to put it another way: who was to blame for this office outbreak? To find out, we partnered with NYU Tandon School of Engineering Assistant Professor, Rumi Chunara, who runs the goVIRAL research project, and Jeffrey Shaman, an expert in flu forecasting at Columbia University. His group is currently working on an extensive respiratory virus sampling project in New York entitled "The Virome of Manhattan" with the American Museum of Natural History. They helped us design a project looking at how respiratory illnesses spread in our workplace community. Once a week for ten weeks we swabbed our noses and sent the samples to a lab at Columbia where they could determine (if we were sick) what kind of respiratory infection we had caught. We also filled in bi-weekly symptom reports. Some of the questions were benign: do you have a fever? Others were more accusatory: who do you think got you sick? The entire experiment was a whodunnit. Or, perhaps more accurately, it was a flu-dunnit. But sometimes messing with what usually lies below the surface can have unexpected side effects. Flu-dunnit changed our office dynamic. Accusations started to fly, as our scientist sleuths discovered who were the victims -- and who was the perpetrator.
