The following episode is a live recorded sermon from the Sunday gathering at The Heights Church Denver on 07/23/23 Peace in a Time of Anxiety and Depression | The Spirit in the Time of the Flesh Tony Rose We live in a cultural moment that is marked by relational distrust and division. A time marked by things like hate, slander, gossip and overall relational anger and exhaustion. We can't seem to get along. And when you stop and think about it, all of our greatest problems are relational at their root - racism, classicism, politics, abuse, war - everything rises and falls on the quality of our relationships. The most valuable thing we have in this life is relationships. They are crucial to a life well-lived. Our theme for this year as a church is “The Year of Life Together.” This year is about creating a haven of relational beauty in the church that shines the light of Jesus into the relational strife of the world. To do this, it's vital that we learn, as people of God, how to live in the Spirit. In Galatians 5, Paul states that we cannot have two operating systems within ourselves or our church; either we choose the Spirit or our flesh, which is any independent coping mechanism for life apart from God. This Summer we're going to look at each of these fruits of the spirit from Galatians 5, and learn to live by the spirit instead of the way of the world and the flesh. Join us each Sunday as we learn to be people of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Message from Tony Rose on July 9, 2023

Depression. If you've been there, or are there now, you might be judged by your Christian friends. A good Christian counselor can help, but sometimes even the church frowns on that! On this week's show, guest Tony Rose talks about what it's like to suffer from depression, and how to work through it and get well - one step at a time. We live in a fallen world. Are you depressed? Take it to the cross…there is grace for that. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” NIV

Welcome back to Million Dollar Relationships with Kevin Thomspon! Our Guest today is Tony A. Rose. Tony is a founding partner of Rose, Snyder & Jacobs. His client responsibilities include, but are not limited to, tax and management consulting advice to closely-held corporations, family-owned businesses, partnerships, and the high-net-worth individuals who own them.   Tony has spent considerable time resolving the complexities faced by these entrepreneurs.  In addition to helping entrepreneurs and high-net-worth families with tax-minimization strategies for asset growth and protection, Tony also helps his clients more effectively grow their financial capital by first enriching their human, intellectual, social, and structural capital. Through counseling and leading multidisciplinary teams of professionals, he has provided valuable guidance at the point where life intersects wealth. Let's hear from Tony as he shares his journey with Jack Larson and how he built great relationships with him.    [00:00 - 08:58] Opening Segment Tony has been doing this work for a long time, and what is most rewarding about it is making an impact on people's lives. Tony has a story about meeting Jack Larson that completely changed the course of his life, which led to him starting his accounting firm.  [08:59 - 11:05] The Power of Communication Tony was an accounting student and he shares that Jack was his Professor in audit class. Jack insisted upon great communication skills and great writing skills for his student. He graded their papers on two levels:  Whether they knew the content;  or if they wrote it correctly with proper grammar, and correct spelling. In one of Tony's papers, Jack graded him a C Minus. Tony told Jack that he knew the material Jack told him “How can you communicate if you don't know it” That lesson stayed with tony for a very long time. [11:06 - 18:05] The Power Of Relationships It was a time of Vietnam protests and shootings at Kent State University. The Universities around the country were protesting and Tony was one of the protesters at USC. Jack came to him and invited him for a free dinner and ask him what he was upset about. Tony was fired from his first job and Jack was able to help him find a new one. Tony considers this as the unpredictability of kindness in a positive way. When Jack became sick in his final days, his widow reached out to him for help and there was no way he wasn't going to help.

Episode 12 of The Old Songs Podcast opens with the earliest known recording of this week's Old Song, The Banks of Green Willow [Roud 172]. It's the sound of David Clements, singing in either 1906 or 1909 – we'll come to that later – recorded on wax cylinder by either Charles Gamblin and George Gardiner, or the legendary composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams at Basingstoke Workhouse. The origins of the recording are fittingly obscure, given that the origins of the song itself throw up plenty of similar confusion. Banks of Green Willow was chosen by this week's guest, Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne, who – if you stick around to the end of the podcast – also gives us his very own unaccompanied rendition. I won't say too much about Cohen or the song, as he does a fine job of introducing both over the course of the hour-long episode. Suffice it to say that his solo album, Outway Songster, was a permanent fixture in my earphones about three years ago, and I've since taken the opportunity to see him at whichever festival we've both turned up at. He's an amazing musician, and he's long had the tradfolk bug as badly as the rest of us. It's an extraordinary song that leads us off down multiple rabbit holes, so make sure you're sitting comfortably.This episode features recordings of Banks of Green Willow by Jackie Oates, Granny's Attic, Tony Rose, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Fred Jordan (Watery Grave).Check out his work with Granny's Attic, and look out for his forthcoming second solo album, as well as the book he mentioned here, Southern Songster. The next episode, all being well, will feature Rosie Hood discussing the huge ballad, The Cruel Mother, so listen out for that.

Those four things are who you are as a person, what I call human capital. Who you know, what I call social capital. What you know, what I call intellectual capital. And how you do things, what I call structural capital."12:01 "Structural capital goes for the proposition that you create structures in your business that creates reliable, repeatable, positive outcomes until they're not so good anymore."30:39 "G1 almost never wants to give up control. Really. So they will say to your clients, go ahead and run the business, and that's a lie. It's run the operations, but don't run the business."36:58 "Q planning is that quadrant planning model in Say Hello to the Elephants, which starts with getting clarity, follows by deciding on solution, the next step in that process is implementation, and the final step is what we call management or sustainability.38:54 "You might have a goal or an outcome you want to have, but because you're doing stuff, other great things happen that you don't expect, and we call that a strategic byproduct.To learn more about Tony, you can check out the links below.LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarcpa/Website (Go Beyond Numbers) - https://gobeyondnumbers.com/Website (Rose, Snyder & Jacobs LLP) - https://www.rsjcpa.com/If you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.

He's back for a 3rd instalment, my “brother from another mother”, Dr Tony Rose! It's been 14months since Tony opened the doors to Auburn South Chiropractic and we thought it was time to update you with how things are progressing for Tony so far. Here's some of what we discussed: Tony opens up about the anger, frustration and anxiety that he's experienced trying to grow a practice during COVID shutdowns. The importance of making a decision (any decision!) Tony's signature system. The good and bad of having a “staffless” office. I hope you enjoy the show. Thanks for all you do. Keep saving lives Angus Links Website  https://www.aschiro.com Facebook https://www.facebook.com/auburnsouthchiro Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/auburnsouthchiro/ Bio Hi, I'm Tony – a little bit about me… You see, we are meant to be thriving, feeling great with lots of energy, strong immune systems and performing at our best. Why is this generally not the case? We live in such an artificial world – we don't eat naturally, move naturally or even think naturally – we are constantly being bombarded with life's stresses and often left overwhelmed. This why I love being a Chiropractor, to unwind the stress patterns, promote healing and address the underlying cause to people's health concerns.

The first part of a conversation I had with Tony Rose. We are both members of the Staten Island Environmental Communicators. This is one of the many videos and podcasts our group is making to inform Staten Islanders and others about our environment and encourage action. Tony and I are lifelong environmentalists. We hope you enjoy and learn from this discussion and that we will have piqued your interest to learn more and to do your part to make our world a healthy place to live. The overarching theme to our discussions today and in the future is Climate Change or the Climate Crisis or as I think about it Climate Chaos. This Climate Chaos affects all aspects of our lives, with Energy in all its forms being the most critical. We use energy for manufacturing, transportation, heating and cooling and growing food. At this point in time, most of this energy comes from fossil fuels. The era of coal has ended. While we may never completely eliminate oil and gas, fossil fuel is clearly on its way to being replaced by renewable energy.

Dr. Todd Gray, executive director-treasurer of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, talks with retired pastor Tony Rose about self-care for pastors and other important leadership lessons during crisis management.

Pastor Tony Rose talks with Jack Eason about how pastors suffer in silence. Pastors care for others on an intimate level. They carry the burdens of many of their congregation and keep much of those hurts, heartaches, and troubles to themselves.Pastors facing emotional and psychological distress often find it difficult to break away from there routine and responsibilities to address their health. Loneliness is becoming an epidemic and Pastors are not immune. Even while growing strong communities, they are still often alone.Discover more about the work Tony Rose is doing with his church and in his community at https://www.lagrangebaptist.com/aboutus/pastors/Tony Rose can be found on Twitter at https://twitter.com/dodonkeystalk

The four man group was like a JODECI/Boyz II Men type of vibe with a Hip Hop edge.  Currently he has put together a new exciting album called THE ELECTRIC LOVE MOMENT which is 10 songs of not only his great vocal ability (singing all the lead and background parts) but delivering an album with R&B, Soul, some touches of Jazz, Funk even Reggae. The theme being about LOVE. Producers are Delon White, ArcAngelo Gorgoni and Vince "PUNCHO" Bonham. One of the songs, "ALL I WANNA DO IS SEE YOU SMILE" produced by Vince "PUNCHO" Bonham already won an AKADEMIA Music Award for best R&B song for February 2017. Delon just linked up with AMBYENT RECORDS CEO and Producer Stephen Jerome Ferguson.

Today Shawn and Micah chat with a special guest, Tony Rose, about civility in public discourse. Tony serves on a local school board, so he has some insightful comments to share regarding public dialogue and conversation. Conversation in our culture has been changing the past few years, as evidenced by the most recent Presidential election cycle. People can no longer agree-to-disagree. Responses are no longer logical arguments, but personal attacks. We share some personal experiences when poor argumentation, poor journalism, and personal attacks made it difficult to remain courteous in our responses. Tony offers some helpful thoughts about how we can have more civility in our political and cultural conversations—disagreement is not a lack of civility; everyone you meet knows something you don't know; don't take disagreement personally; don't consider politics a competitive sport.

What do you think is the most important question you could ask your kids?  Have you even thought about it before?  I know I didn't.  But when Dr Tony dropped this on the interview I was amazed at its simplicity and power.  This episode is a MUST LISTEN if just to find out what the question is!

Prof. Sposito describes how soils form, how soil science has matured and talks about the influence of Hans Jenny on his work and life.TranscriptSpeaker 1: Spectrum's next Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 3: [inaudible].Speaker 2: [inaudible].Speaker 3: Welcome to spectrum the science and technology show on k a l x Berkeley, a biweekly 30 minute program [00:00:30] bringing you interviews featuring bay area scientists and technologists as well as a calendar of local events and news. Speaker 1: Good afternoon. My name is Brad swift and I'm the host of today's show. Our interview is with Professor Garrison's Pasito, the Betty and Isaac Barsha, chair of Soil Science in the College of natural resources at UC Berkeley. Professor Sposato is an active teacher and researcher. This show is part [00:01:00] one of two parts today. Professor Saucito describes how soils form. He explains how soil science has matured and talks about the influence of Berkeley legend CNE on his work and life. Professor, Gary's Pasito Speaker 4: come to spectrum. Thank you very much. Glad to be here. Speaker 1: To start, would you give us a brief overview of soil and how it forms Speaker 4: in the simplest way to say this soil is the [00:01:30] weathered earth material on the land, the surface of the land. It can extend to fairly great depths depending on how much weathering goes on because weathering is what creates soil. There are two main factors that are involved. One is the percolation of water from rainfall percolates downward and this causes weathering the other, which is critically important and that is the biology that goes on in soil. That is to say the the microbes, [00:02:00] the worms, all of the creatures that live in soil and the roots of plants, which in fact contribute greatly to what happens in the soil to make it soil. Ultimately what happens is that the, what's called the parent material, which is the material from which the soil starts, which could be anything from a cooling volcanic ash material to wind blown dust like it is in China or in the Midwest of the u s or rock material that has come in from somewhere else, from transport [00:02:30] by a river, whatever it is. Speaker 4: That's some geologic material. And at that point in time when it sits still long enough to have percolating water and creatures start to live in it, that starts it on the way to becoming a soil. What are the various timelines that can be involved in that process? They're long, they're long timelines relative to human standards. So for a soil to form in a way that one would be recognizably say, oh that's a soil. And I'll say in a moment here, [00:03:00] what tells us, oh that's the soil can easily be half a million years to really to see the development. Obviously there are soils that are younger than this, but in general it takes a long time. In California we have soils that are a million years old and we have soils that are 15,000 years old, but they formed slowly by our standards. Now the way that we tell them as soils and not simply some weathered rock or whatever is that they have layering, they're called horizons in the [00:03:30] discipline of soil science. Speaker 4: This layering is caused by the percolating water, which moves material downward and then deposits it at some point because the water stops percolating. And secondly, the biological creatures are involved in the dissolution and dissolving of the minerals that are in the rock material. So the layering is coming about from both loss of material and accumulation and that layering tells you it's a soil, but it happens slowly. It's a slow process. [00:04:00] How much variation is there worldwide and soils? Quite a lot. What one should know is that there are large classification units of soil which are based on climate and there are 12 of them. For example, a soils that are permanently frozen such as those in the Arctic zone. Those have a certain name, they're called Jelly sols from a French word. That means to freeze soils that are found in the human tropics that are very red [00:04:30] from the iron minerals in them and highly weathered and so forth. Speaker 4: They're called oxy Sauls and so on. Now within them are sub classifications and the one that corresponds to what a species would be in biology is called a series. There are about more than 20,000 soil series or species in the United States. There are probably upwards of several hundred thousand different soil series worldwide, so the soil series are [00:05:00] mapped so we know where they are and these maps are available online for California and for many parts of the world, it's probably the most important aspect of first getting to know soils is to prepare a map with the series in it. And for that reason, the gates foundation has given a friend of mine, Pedro Sanchez, $20 million to provide a digital soil map of Africa so that we have a, an understanding of all the African soils and this is in conjunction with improving agriculture. [00:05:30] You've got to know the soil characteristics before you can start to do anything with US soil. And this is the first step. Speaker 5: [inaudible]Speaker 1: this is spectrum on k a l x Berkeley. I'm talking with Gary's Pasito, a soil scientist at UC Berkeley Speaker 5: [inaudible]Speaker 4: in the development of soil science. Have there been [00:06:00] dramatic epics where certain discoveries were made that changed the game, so to speak? Not so much as discoveries as in really large groups of people of a certain kind working towards similar goals. For example, the late 19th century is characterized at a time when earth scientists began to look at soil as useful for study in its own right. And the first things that they did was to try to understand how they formed [00:06:30] as weathered materials and secondly, to begin to try to classify them in some way. That period lasted until, well, it's still ongoing. I suppose, but it was really pushed forward around the turn of the century. And one of the largest names in that field at the time was Eugenie Hilgard for whom Hilgard Hall on the Berkeley campus is named. He was trained as a geologist. He was the state geologists from Mississippi and he was hired here at Berkeley as the second professor [00:07:00] of agriculture. Speaker 4: The first one, I think he was here only for a couple of years and a lot of people don't know this, but Berkeley began as an a and m campus, agricultural, mechanical, and that's what it was supposed to be. That was it. And the first agriculture professor thought that's what it ought to be. And the regions didn't agree. And so they fired him and they hired Hilgard and heel guard. They said, we want you to understand that you're part of a larger, more general campus than simply agriculture. But it's very important to the state of California [00:07:30] that you develop agricultural emphasis on your work with soil. And one of the first things he did was to go around the state and sampled the soils. And he prepared the first soil map of California, which you can see in Hilgard Hall. But he also helped classify and he also discussed something about how soils form. Speaker 4: So that was one great group. Then came another group of people who did a lot of their work in the 1930s and forties of the last century. These [00:08:00] people in soil science all came from other disciplines and to a large extent they did. So because of the depression. A good example of sterling Hendricks who was Linus Pauling's, first Grad student at cal tech, he worked on the structure of minerals with Pauling cause that's how Pauling made his first famous set of discoveries and couldn't find a job as a physical chemist. There just wasn't a demand. And at that time, and so he did find a job with a USDA US Department of Agriculture and he spent a whole career [00:08:30] there. He did work on minerals. He was the first one really just show that crystal and minerals existed in soils. People thought it was just sort of stuff. They didn't know what it was. Unfortunately, they developed the tools at cal tech among other places, and palling made great use of these train Hendricks to do this. And then Hendrix got a job with a USDA, began to study plants as well, and actually made a name studying plants. Another example, Albert van Zillow, Speaker 4: who took a phd under John Lewis here at Berkeley, who was [00:09:00] the Louis Hall's name for him, Fan Solo couldn't get a job except down at the citrus experiment station in Riverside. So he went down there as a chemist, if you know Lewis, his work, he was a great contributor to the branch of physical chemistry called thermodynamics. First thing vast law did was supply it to soils. And that's stood the test of time. It's been very, very useful. And finally I mentioned Han CNE who got his phd in physical chemistry in Zurich. Switzerland couldn't find work anywhere. [00:09:30] Left, immigrated to the u s first to the University of Missouri. And then in 1936, uh, he was able to secure a job up at Berkeley in a plant science unit, uh, teaching some things about souls, but all of these people were in there. Others I could name were quote, forced to come into soil science because it was opportunity. Speaker 4: Actually one of my own mentors, Royal Rose Street, uh, here at Berkeley, I was a grad student at Berkeley and soil science right in Hilgard Hall. In fact, uh, he was [00:10:00] a student of joke. There's a show called over in Chemistry and Nobel laureate. His thesis was on the properties of liquid hydrogen, and yet he was one of the great soil chemists after the 30s. So these people all turned their skills to, to soil because it was an unknown with respect to the application of exact sciences. And the discipline made huge bounds because of this, because they were so well trained. Actually the depression was one of the best things that ever happened to soil science because it got all these great minds [00:10:30] working. They couldn't find work elsewhere if there had been good times. Who knows? Now finally, there's another one that most people agree was very important and it also relates back to exact sciences. Speaker 4: And that is all the advances that took place in the latter part of the, of the last century in disciplines such as molecular biology or chemistry at the molecular scale. And to some extent physics. These disciplines were really producing very interesting results. And so for example, [00:11:00] methods of molecular biology were applied in microbiology of soil to characterize the organisms that were living there such as bacteria. And these methods are very important because most of the bacteria and the other tiny organisms in soil cannot be grown in culture, meaning you can't take them out of the soil and grow them in the lab. Probably less than 10% can be grown this way. They're just out there wild in the soil. But the new methods of molecular biology didn't require that they allowed you to fingerprint [00:11:30] literally through the DNA of these organisms who they were. And this was applied to soils and chemistry evolved, all these very fancy techniques for investigating minerals or any solid actually, but minerals in particular and so on. Speaker 4: So the people in soil science were aware of these things and they took all these methods in and they made great strides with these approaches. Not so much the people, but simply the methodologies made their way into the discipline. And that legacy has gone on for some time now. Right [00:12:00] now we're, we're sort of still taking advantage of it. What I see happening now is the soil scientists are beginning to join with other people in ecology and climate change so that they're part of a larger team, let's say, which is working toward trying to understand how the global system actually functions and what role soil plays in that. I would say that's the next thing that's going on, a kind of cross disciplinary interaction. But these other three epochs everyone recognizes as really important to the advancement of the discipline [00:12:30] and none of them really were created by the discipline itself. They came from happenstance, from circumstance and depression. I mean, you know, I suppose right now there may be, there'll be some very brilliant students who, who might've stayed in chemistry or physics or whatever who will come into soil science. In fact, I know this is true at Berkeley. I'm seeing it happen. Speaker 3: [inaudible] you are listening to spectrum on k a l x Berkeley. Today's guest [00:13:00] is professor Gary [inaudible]. We are about to talk about his research. Speaker 4: How about your research? How has it evolved over your career and your studying soil? Actually, I'm an anomaly. It's true that I took a degree here in soil science under a professor named Ken Babcock and another name Roy Overstreet, whom I mentioned earlier in conjunction with joke. [00:13:30] Babcock was my main guiding professor and I did a thesis, uh, which had a very large amount of chemistry and physics in it because I thought that those disciplines should be applied to soil in a very fundamental way. And after I did that, Professor Babcock said, well this is good work, but don't expect to get a job because nobody's interested in this. And he was right and there wasn't any interest in it. People told me, for example, that chemistry doesn't apply to soil [00:14:00] is too complicated. It doesn't work. You can't talk about it this way. So I got a job in the cal state system teaching for nearly a decade. Speaker 4: And then my major prof told me about Pam Cock, that a professor at Riverside, by that time there was a campus at Riverside, uh, had suddenly dropped dead of a heart attack in his fifties, and they were looking for someone to replace him and they thought they should go in a fundamental direction more so than they had. And so I thought, well, maybe after [00:14:30] 10 years, my time has finally come. So I got a job down there and that worked out pretty well. And then I ultimately transferred up here because I wanted to work on forest is soils. And we have a forestry oriented, uh, unit up here. So I'm, I'm a little bit different from the usual because most people in my field would have come through a kind of agronomic background with let's say a little dash of chemistry and a little dash or biology and so forth. Speaker 4: And they're generalists or their pathologists. So they're trained in earth science and they look at cell formation. [00:15:00] But I came into it from a very fundamental point of view. So I kind of waited around for my opportunity to, to bring this to bear. And what I'm speaking of really is a molecular scale approach to understanding soil. That's what they thought didn't apply. That was so complicated. You could, and in fact, what has evolved is that actually works out pretty well for the same reason that molecular biology helps medicine. So does them like it or approach to soils help agriculture or any of the other applications [00:15:30] they might not have thought. So at first in either discipline, but in fact it's true. So now what I've seen it evolve is a recognition that is actually useful, uh, over time. And what I do with my work is to try to be ever more molecular using the latest methods from chemistry and physics in that direction to try to understand how soils function. Speaker 4: And it works out pretty well. And there are tools which, uh, have been developed in those disciplines that can be applied [00:16:00] with some care because we have very heterogeneous material. It's not to a pure substance. So that's where the art comes in and understanding how to use these techniques in ways that won't fool you, but it does work. And so that's it. So it's evolved simply, I get to be the person I want it to be when I was in Grad school by just simply waiting long enough, one of the former deans at the college of Natural Resources here defined a distinguished professor as someone who's outlived his enemies. I wouldn't say that I, that's [00:16:30] a little strong in a, in a bit cynical, but what I would say is that if you believe in what you're doing in your, you persevere, probably you will find that it gains some acceptance. And I'm living proof of the late bloomer theory of, of that sort of thing. And I think most of my colleagues would agree that finally now the world seems to understand that yeah, you can do molecular scale work on something as complicated as a soil. Speaker 3: You are listening to part one of [00:17:00] a two part interview with Gary [inaudible], a soil scientist at UC Berkeley. The show is spectrum and the station is k a l. X. Berkeley. Speaker 4: Describe what Hahn's Yannis impact has been on your thinking about soil and how has his work informed yours? Well first of all I mentioned he was trained as a physical chemist and then he found that he wasn't able to get work in Zurich [00:17:30] and so he wanted an academic career. So he came to the u s after he got here, especially in Missouri where he began to just learn the soil. He traveled around Missouri and I've seen the photographs that he's, that he took of the landscapes and began to learn about and think about soils. And Hilgard had already pioneered a little of this in of thinking about what things do come together to form a soil. Obviously you need some earth material to start with. You need organisms, you need time and so on. So Yeni [00:18:00] codified all of this in a book which he published 70 years ago, last year called factors of soil formation. Speaker 4: And if you look at it from my point of view, what you see is a book about soil, organizing the soil and thinking about the way it formed, the way a physical chemist, and I don't mean the chemistry, I mean the logic of it is like a physical chemist. Actually a person in thermodynamics in physical chemistry would think about it effectively. He was using chemistry as the metaphor in which to place soil science [00:18:30] and it was an astounding book and it's still today read very profitably. We all had benefited from this. That said, Hans [inaudible] was a personal friend of mine and I spoke at his 85th birthday, which was celebrated up here for example, and I traveled with him to field sites and so forth and listened to him talk about soils and so forth. So he clearly had a strong personal influence on me as well. Speaker 4: He was a very mild mannered person, very thoughtful, very strict in his beliefs. [00:19:00] He was also quite a good artist. He drew all the illustrations for his books himself, which he never mentioned in the book. You wouldn't know except they all look the same and it's, it's him. Art and agriculture were the two big loves of his life and he combined them as best he could in his own work. But he was trained as a physical chemist. So he had that really keen analytical mind and that was clear from his approach to the subject. So I would say he was an influence in the way he influenced every person and soil science through his work. But he also was an influence to me personally because [00:19:30] I could see how this person was living his life and initially doing a lot of hard work to do what would be called the normal science, meaning pushing the data points and doing the things that advanced the technique of the science. Speaker 4: And then as he got older, he began to think about soils as a resource and their conservation. And he realized that a lot was not being done that should be done. And so he began actively to work toward conservation, working with conservation groups and others [00:20:00] to to help in that. Even though that doesn't require a chemical background for sure to do, but he realized how important it was. So that's what I'm seeing with myself as well. Soil is a resource now is suddenly loomed again is a big deal because of agriculture and because of the world of the world we're living in. And so I see that that's something I should do as well. So he's a role model in that sense. Speaker 1: This concludes part one of our two part interview with Professor Gary [inaudible]. Tune in two weeks from [00:20:30] today for part two in part two professors placido talks about the interaction with water and soil, chemical and organic inputs that get applied to soil, good stewardship of soil and industrial agriculture.

Her talk on Eternal Plastic, a love story discusses how plastic now pervades civilization and why its cheapness has made it the basic material of the throwaway culture. One third of all plastic now goes into disposable packaging. It's durability means that any toxic events persist indefinitely in the environment. [inaudible] plastic presents a problem in temporal management of the very long term and the very short term. How do we get the benefits of plastics amazing durability [00:23:30] while reducing its harm from the convenient disposability. Visit [inaudible] dot org for tickets which are $10 now news with Rick and Lisa, Speaker 7: the May 8th New Scientist magazine reports that recent technological in neuroscience such as functional near infrared spectroscopy allows researchers to watch young baby's brain in their initial encounters with language. Using this technique, Laura and potato and her colleagues have Gallaudet university in Washington d C [00:24:00] discovered a profound difference between babies brought up speaking either one or two languages. Popular theory suggests that babies are born citizens of the world capable of discriminating between the sounds of any language by the time they are a year old. However, they are thought to have lost this ability homing in exclusively on the sounds of their mother tongue. That seemed to be the case with monolinguals, but potato study found that bilingual children still showed increased neural activity in response to completely unfamiliar languages. [00:24:30] At the end of their first year, she found that the bilingual experiences wedges opened the window for learning language. Speaker 7: Importantly, the children still reached the same linguistic milestones such as their first word at roughly the same time as monolingual babies. Supporting the idea that bilingualism can invigorate rather than hinder a child's development. Bilingualism improves the brains executive system, a broad suite of mental skills that center on the ability to block out irrelevant information [00:25:00] and concentrate on a task at hand. Two languages are constantly competing for attention in the bilingual brain. As a result, whenever bilingual speak, write or listen to the radio, the brain is busy choosing the right word while inhibiting the same term from the other language. It is a considerable test of executive control, just the kind of cognitive workout that is common in many commercial brain training programs, which often require you to ignore distracting information while tackling [00:25:30] a task. Speaker 6: Nature News reports on an article published on May 4th in science that blonde hair and people from the Solomon Islands in Melanesia evolves independently from Europeans, Stanford geneticists, Carlos Bustamante and his team compared the genomes of 43 blonde and 42 dark haired Solomon Islanders, and revealed that the islanders blonde hair was strongly associated with a single mutation in the t y r p one gene. That gene encodes an enzyme [00:26:00] that influences pigmentation in mice and humans. Several genes are known to contribute to blonde hair coloration in Europeans, but t y r p one is not involved. About one quarter of Solomon Islanders carry the recessive mutation for blonde hair and the mutation accounts for about 30% of blondes in the Solomon Islands. We used to Monte. I thinks that Melanesian mutation might have arisen between 5,000 and 30,000 years ago, but does not know why, nor does he know why. This mechanism differs from that of European blindness Speaker 7: research [00:26:30] published in April Steele Physical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union states that for the first time scientists have captured images of auroras above the giant Ice Planet Uranus. Finding further evidence of just how peculiar a world that distant planet is detected by means of carefully scheduled observations from the Hubble Space Telescope. The newly witnessed Uranian light show consistent of short-lived, faint glowing dots, a world [00:27:00] of difference from the colorful curtains of light that often ring Earth's poles. Auroras are produced in the atmosphere as charged solar wind particles as they accelerate and the magneto sphere and are guided by the magnetic field close to the magnetic poles. That's why the Earth Auroras are found around the high latitudes. While working as a research physicist in the space science lab at UC Berkeley in the early 1980s professor John T. Clark of the Boston University Center for Space Physics Observed [00:27:30] X-ray sources from ground-based telescopes and found the first evidence for an Aurora on Uranus. The voyager to fly by in 1986 confirmed that your readiness was indeed a strange beast. Dennis now a better understanding of your rain. Renesas magnetosphere could help scientists test their theories of how Earth's magnetosphere functions. A crucial question and the effort to develop fusion reactors. Speaker 6: Science insider reports this week that the newly proposed helium Stewardship Act [00:28:00] of 2012 Senate bill two three seven four would maintain a roughly 15 years supply of helium for federal users, including the holders of research scans. It would also give priority to federally funded researchers in times of shortage. If Congress fails to renew provisions of the 1996 law that is expiring next year, the u s will discontinue sales from the Federal Reserve, which is responsible for 30% of the world's helium. This would be a big problem for manufacturers of semiconductors and microchips as [00:28:30] well as users of magnetic resonance imaging and other cryogenic instruments. Penn State Physics Professor Moses Chan praises the bill testifying that liquid helium may account for up to 40% of the total budget of some grants is only criticism of the current bill is no provision to reward those who recapture helium used in research.

Speaker 1: Good afternoon. My name is Brad swift and I'm the host of today's show. Our interview is with Professor Garrison's Pasito, the Betty and Isaac Barsha, chair of Soil Science in the College of natural resources at UC Berkeley. Professor Sposato is an active teacher and researcher. This show is part [00:01:00] one of two parts today. Professor Saucito describes how soils form. He explains how soil science has matured and talks about the influence of Berkeley legend CNE on his work and life. Professor, Gary's Pasito Speaker 4: come to spectrum. Thank you very much. Glad to be here. Speaker 1: To start, would you give us a brief overview of soil and how it forms Speaker 4: in the simplest way to say this soil is the [00:01:30] weathered earth material on the land, the surface of the land. It can extend to fairly great depths depending on how much weathering goes on because weathering is what creates soil. There are two main factors that are involved. One is the percolation of water from rainfall percolates downward and this causes weathering the other, which is critically important and that is the biology that goes on in soil. That is to say the the microbes, [00:02:00] the worms, all of the creatures that live in soil and the roots of plants, which in fact contribute greatly to what happens in the soil to make it soil. Ultimately what happens is that the, what's called the parent material, which is the material from which the soil starts, which could be anything from a cooling volcanic ash material to wind blown dust like it is in China or in the Midwest of the u s or rock material that has come in from somewhere else, from transport [00:02:30] by a river, whatever it is. Speaker 4: That's some geologic material. And at that point in time when it sits still long enough to have percolating water and creatures start to live in it, that starts it on the way to becoming a soil. What are the various timelines that can be involved in that process? They're long, they're long timelines relative to human standards. So for a soil to form in a way that one would be recognizably say, oh that's a soil. And I'll say in a moment here, [00:03:00] what tells us, oh that's the soil can easily be half a million years to really to see the development. Obviously there are soils that are younger than this, but in general it takes a long time. In California we have soils that are a million years old and we have soils that are 15,000 years old, but they formed slowly by our standards. Now the way that we tell them as soils and not simply some weathered rock or whatever is that they have layering, they're called horizons in the [00:03:30] discipline of soil science. Speaker 4: This layering is caused by the percolating water, which moves material downward and then deposits it at some point because the water stops percolating. And secondly, the biological creatures are involved in the dissolution and dissolving of the minerals that are in the rock material. So the layering is coming about from both loss of material and accumulation and that layering tells you it's a soil, but it happens slowly. It's a slow process. [00:04:00] How much variation is there worldwide and soils? Quite a lot. What one should know is that there are large classification units of soil which are based on climate and there are 12 of them. For example, a soils that are permanently frozen such as those in the Arctic zone. Those have a certain name, they're called Jelly sols from a French word. That means to freeze soils that are found in the human tropics that are very red [00:04:30] from the iron minerals in them and highly weathered and so forth. Speaker 4: They're called oxy Sauls and so on. Now within them are sub classifications and the one that corresponds to what a species would be in biology is called a series. There are about more than 20,000 soil series or species in the United States. There are probably upwards of several hundred thousand different soil series worldwide, so the soil series are [00:05:00] mapped so we know where they are and these maps are available online for California and for many parts of the world, it's probably the most important aspect of first getting to know soils is to prepare a map with the series in it. And for that reason, the gates foundation has given a friend of mine, Pedro Sanchez, $20 million to provide a digital soil map of Africa so that we have a, an understanding of all the African soils and this is in conjunction with improving agriculture. [00:05:30] You've got to know the soil characteristics before you can start to do anything with US soil. And this is the first step. Speaker 5: [inaudible]Speaker 1: this is spectrum on k a l x Berkeley. I'm talking with Gary's Pasito, a soil scientist at UC Berkeley Speaker 5: [inaudible]Speaker 4: in the development of soil science. Have there been [00:06:00] dramatic epics where certain discoveries were made that changed the game, so to speak? Not so much as discoveries as in really large groups of people of a certain kind working towards similar goals. For example, the late 19th century is characterized at a time when earth scientists began to look at soil as useful for study in its own right. And the first things that they did was to try to understand how they formed [00:06:30] as weathered materials and secondly, to begin to try to classify them in some way. That period lasted until, well, it's still ongoing. I suppose, but it was really pushed forward around the turn of the century. And one of the largest names in that field at the time was Eugenie Hilgard for whom Hilgard Hall on the Berkeley campus is named. He was trained as a geologist. He was the state geologists from Mississippi and he was hired here at Berkeley as the second professor [00:07:00] of agriculture. Speaker 4: The first one, I think he was here only for a couple of years and a lot of people don't know this, but Berkeley began as an a and m campus, agricultural, mechanical, and that's what it was supposed to be. That was it. And the first agriculture professor thought that's what it ought to be. And the regions didn't agree. And so they fired him and they hired Hilgard and heel guard. They said, we want you to understand that you're part of a larger, more general campus than simply agriculture. But it's very important to the state of California [00:07:30] that you develop agricultural emphasis on your work with soil. And one of the first things he did was to go around the state and sampled the soils. And he prepared the first soil map of California, which you can see in Hilgard Hall. But he also helped classify and he also discussed something about how soils form. Speaker 4: So that was one great group. Then came another group of people who did a lot of their work in the 1930s and forties of the last century. These [00:08:00] people in soil science all came from other disciplines and to a large extent they did. So because of the depression. A good example of sterling Hendricks who was Linus Pauling's, first Grad student at cal tech, he worked on the structure of minerals with Pauling cause that's how Pauling made his first famous set of discoveries and couldn't find a job as a physical chemist. There just wasn't a demand. And at that time, and so he did find a job with a USDA US Department of Agriculture and he spent a whole career [00:08:30] there. He did work on minerals. He was the first one really just show that crystal and minerals existed in soils. People thought it was just sort of stuff. They didn't know what it was. Unfortunately, they developed the tools at cal tech among other places, and palling made great use of these train Hendricks to do this. And then Hendrix got a job with a USDA, began to study plants as well, and actually made a name studying plants. Another example, Albert van Zillow, Speaker 4: who took a phd under John Lewis here at Berkeley, who was [00:09:00] the Louis Hall's name for him, Fan Solo couldn't get a job except down at the citrus experiment station in Riverside. So he went down there as a chemist, if you know Lewis, his work, he was a great contributor to the branch of physical chemistry called thermodynamics. First thing vast law did was supply it to soils. And that's stood the test of time. It's been very, very useful. And finally I mentioned Han CNE who got his phd in physical chemistry in Zurich. Switzerland couldn't find work anywhere. [00:09:30] Left, immigrated to the u s first to the University of Missouri. And then in 1936, uh, he was able to secure a job up at Berkeley in a plant science unit, uh, teaching some things about souls, but all of these people were in there. Others I could name were quote, forced to come into soil science because it was opportunity. Speaker 4: Actually one of my own mentors, Royal Rose Street, uh, here at Berkeley, I was a grad student at Berkeley and soil science right in Hilgard Hall. In fact, uh, he was [00:10:00] a student of joke. There's a show called over in Chemistry and Nobel laureate. His thesis was on the properties of liquid hydrogen, and yet he was one of the great soil chemists after the 30s. So these people all turned their skills to, to soil because it was an unknown with respect to the application of exact sciences. And the discipline made huge bounds because of this, because they were so well trained. Actually the depression was one of the best things that ever happened to soil science because it got all these great minds [00:10:30] working. They couldn't find work elsewhere if there had been good times. Who knows? Now finally, there's another one that most people agree was very important and it also relates back to exact sciences. Speaker 4: And that is all the advances that took place in the latter part of the, of the last century in disciplines such as molecular biology or chemistry at the molecular scale. And to some extent physics. These disciplines were really producing very interesting results. And so for example, [00:11:00] methods of molecular biology were applied in microbiology of soil to characterize the organisms that were living there such as bacteria. And these methods are very important because most of the bacteria and the other tiny organisms in soil cannot be grown in culture, meaning you can't take them out of the soil and grow them in the lab. Probably less than 10% can be grown this way. They're just out there wild in the soil. But the new methods of molecular biology didn't require that they allowed you to fingerprint [00:11:30] literally through the DNA of these organisms who they were. And this was applied to soils and chemistry evolved, all these very fancy techniques for investigating minerals or any solid actually, but minerals in particular and so on. Speaker 4: So the people in soil science were aware of these things and they took all these methods in and they made great strides with these approaches. Not so much the people, but simply the methodologies made their way into the discipline. And that legacy has gone on for some time now. Right [00:12:00] now we're, we're sort of still taking advantage of it. What I see happening now is the soil scientists are beginning to join with other people in ecology and climate change so that they're part of a larger team, let's say, which is working toward trying to understand how the global system actually functions and what role soil plays in that. I would say that's the next thing that's going on, a kind of cross disciplinary interaction. But these other three epochs everyone recognizes as really important to the advancement of the discipline [00:12:30] and none of them really were created by the discipline itself. They came from happenstance, from circumstance and depression. I mean, you know, I suppose right now there may be, there'll be some very brilliant students who, who might've stayed in chemistry or physics or whatever who will come into soil science. In fact, I know this is true at Berkeley. I'm seeing it happen. Speaker 3: [inaudible] you are listening to spectrum on k a l x Berkeley. Today's guest [00:13:00] is professor Gary [inaudible]. We are about to talk about his research. Speaker 4: How about your research? How has it evolved over your career and your studying soil? Actually, I'm an anomaly. It's true that I took a degree here in soil science under a professor named Ken Babcock and another name Roy Overstreet, whom I mentioned earlier in conjunction with joke. [00:13:30] Babcock was my main guiding professor and I did a thesis, uh, which had a very large amount of chemistry and physics in it because I thought that those disciplines should be applied to soil in a very fundamental way. And after I did that, Professor Babcock said, well this is good work, but don't expect to get a job because nobody's interested in this. And he was right and there wasn't any interest in it. People told me, for example, that chemistry doesn't apply to soil [00:14:00] is too complicated. It doesn't work. You can't talk about it this way. So I got a job in the cal state system teaching for nearly a decade. Speaker 4: And then my major prof told me about Pam Cock, that a professor at Riverside, by that time there was a campus at Riverside, uh, had suddenly dropped dead of a heart attack in his fifties, and they were looking for someone to replace him and they thought they should go in a fundamental direction more so than they had. And so I thought, well, maybe after [00:14:30] 10 years, my time has finally come. So I got a job down there and that worked out pretty well. And then I ultimately transferred up here because I wanted to work on forest is soils. And we have a forestry oriented, uh, unit up here. So I'm, I'm a little bit different from the usual because most people in my field would have come through a kind of agronomic background with let's say a little dash of chemistry and a little dash or biology and so forth. Speaker 4: And they're generalists or their pathologists. So they're trained in earth science and they look at cell formation. [00:15:00] But I came into it from a very fundamental point of view. So I kind of waited around for my opportunity to, to bring this to bear. And what I'm speaking of really is a molecular scale approach to understanding soil. That's what they thought didn't apply. That was so complicated. You could, and in fact, what has evolved is that actually works out pretty well for the same reason that molecular biology helps medicine. So does them like it or approach to soils help agriculture or any of the other applications [00:15:30] they might not have thought. So at first in either discipline, but in fact it's true. So now what I've seen it evolve is a recognition that is actually useful, uh, over time. And what I do with my work is to try to be ever more molecular using the latest methods from chemistry and physics in that direction to try to understand how soils function. Speaker 4: And it works out pretty well. And there are tools which, uh, have been developed in those disciplines that can be applied [00:16:00] with some care because we have very heterogeneous material. It's not to a pure substance. So that's where the art comes in and understanding how to use these techniques in ways that won't fool you, but it does work. And so that's it. So it's evolved simply, I get to be the person I want it to be when I was in Grad school by just simply waiting long enough, one of the former deans at the college of Natural Resources here defined a distinguished professor as someone who's outlived his enemies. I wouldn't say that I, that's [00:16:30] a little strong in a, in a bit cynical, but what I would say is that if you believe in what you're doing in your, you persevere, probably you will find that it gains some acceptance. And I'm living proof of the late bloomer theory of, of that sort of thing. And I think most of my colleagues would agree that finally now the world seems to understand that yeah, you can do molecular scale work on something as complicated as a soil. Speaker 3: You are listening to part one of [00:17:00] a two part interview with Gary [inaudible], a soil scientist at UC Berkeley. The show is spectrum and the station is k a l. X. Berkeley. Speaker 4: Describe what Hahn's Yannis impact has been on your thinking about soil and how has his work informed yours? Well first of all I mentioned he was trained as a physical chemist and then he found that he wasn't able to get work in Zurich [00:17:30] and so he wanted an academic career. So he came to the u s after he got here, especially in Missouri where he began to just learn the soil. He traveled around Missouri and I've seen the photographs that he's, that he took of the landscapes and began to learn about and think about soils. And Hilgard had already pioneered a little of this in of thinking about what things do come together to form a soil. Obviously you need some earth material to start with. You need organisms, you need time and so on. So Yeni [00:18:00] codified all of this in a book which he published 70 years ago, last year called factors of soil formation. Speaker 4: And if you look at it from my point of view, what you see is a book about soil, organizing the soil and thinking about the way it formed, the way a physical chemist, and I don't mean the chemistry, I mean the logic of it is like a physical chemist. Actually a person in thermodynamics in physical chemistry would think about it effectively. He was using chemistry as the metaphor in which to place soil science [00:18:30] and it was an astounding book and it's still today read very profitably. We all had benefited from this. That said, Hans [inaudible] was a personal friend of mine and I spoke at his 85th birthday, which was celebrated up here for example, and I traveled with him to field sites and so forth and listened to him talk about soils and so forth. So he clearly had a strong personal influence on me as well. Speaker 4: He was a very mild mannered person, very thoughtful, very strict in his beliefs. [00:19:00] He was also quite a good artist. He drew all the illustrations for his books himself, which he never mentioned in the book. You wouldn't know except they all look the same and it's, it's him. Art and agriculture were the two big loves of his life and he combined them as best he could in his own work. But he was trained as a physical chemist. So he had that really keen analytical mind and that was clear from his approach to the subject. So I would say he was an influence in the way he influenced every person and soil science through his work. But he also was an influence to me personally because [00:19:30] I could see how this person was living his life and initially doing a lot of hard work to do what would be called the normal science, meaning pushing the data points and doing the things that advanced the technique of the science. Speaker 4: And then as he got older, he began to think about soils as a resource and their conservation. And he realized that a lot was not being done that should be done. And so he began actively to work toward conservation, working with conservation groups and others [00:20:00] to to help in that. Even though that doesn't require a chemical background for sure to do, but he realized how important it was. So that's what I'm seeing with myself as well. Soil is a resource now is suddenly loomed again is a big deal because of agriculture and because of the world of the world we're living in. And so I see that that's something I should do as well. So he's a role model in that sense. Speaker 1: This concludes part one of our two part interview with Professor Gary [inaudible]. Tune in two weeks from [00:20:30] today for part two in part two professors placido talks about the interaction with water and soil, chemical and organic inputs that get applied to soil, good stewardship of soil and industrial agriculture.

Her talk on Eternal Plastic, a love story discusses how plastic now pervades civilization and why its cheapness has made it the basic material of the throwaway culture. One third of all plastic now goes into disposable packaging. It's durability means that any toxic events persist indefinitely in the environment. [inaudible] plastic presents a problem in temporal management of the very long term and the very short term. How do we get the benefits of plastics amazing durability [00:23:30] while reducing its harm from the convenient disposability. Visit [inaudible] dot org for tickets which are $10 now news with Rick and Lisa, Speaker 7: the May 8th New Scientist magazine reports that recent technological in neuroscience such as functional near infrared spectroscopy allows researchers to watch young baby's brain in their initial encounters with language. Using this technique, Laura and potato and her colleagues have Gallaudet university in Washington d C [00:24:00] discovered a profound difference between babies brought up speaking either one or two languages. Popular theory suggests that babies are born citizens of the world capable of discriminating between the sounds of any language by the time they are a year old. However, they are thought to have lost this ability homing in exclusively on the sounds of their mother tongue. That seemed to be the case with monolinguals, but potato study found that bilingual children still showed increased neural activity in response to completely unfamiliar languages. [00:24:30] At the end of their first year, she found that the bilingual experiences wedges opened the window for learning language. Speaker 7: Importantly, the children still reached the same linguistic milestones such as their first word at roughly the same time as monolingual babies. Supporting the idea that bilingualism can invigorate rather than hinder a child's development. Bilingualism improves the brains executive system, a broad suite of mental skills that center on the ability to block out irrelevant information [00:25:00] and concentrate on a task at hand. Two languages are constantly competing for attention in the bilingual brain. As a result, whenever bilingual speak, write or listen to the radio, the brain is busy choosing the right word while inhibiting the same term from the other language. It is a considerable test of executive control, just the kind of cognitive workout that is common in many commercial brain training programs, which often require you to ignore distracting information while tackling [00:25:30] a task. Speaker 6: Nature News reports on an article published on May 4th in science that blonde hair and people from the Solomon Islands in Melanesia evolves independently from Europeans, Stanford geneticists, Carlos Bustamante and his team compared the genomes of 43 blonde and 42 dark haired Solomon Islanders, and revealed that the islanders blonde hair was strongly associated with a single mutation in the t y r p one gene. That gene encodes an enzyme [00:26:00] that influences pigmentation in mice and humans. Several genes are known to contribute to blonde hair coloration in Europeans, but t y r p one is not involved. About one quarter of Solomon Islanders carry the recessive mutation for blonde hair and the mutation accounts for about 30% of blondes in the Solomon Islands. We used to Monte. I thinks that Melanesian mutation might have arisen between 5,000 and 30,000 years ago, but does not know why, nor does he know why. This mechanism differs from that of European blindness Speaker 7: research [00:26:30] published in April Steele Physical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union states that for the first time scientists have captured images of auroras above the giant Ice Planet Uranus.

Each year they'll talk about the program and what you might expect to see from the teams that this year's maker fair at the San Mateo Fair gowns on May 19th and 20th how you might get involved next year and about the future of educating and encouraging more young people to make more things in the [00:01:30] physical world. And please stay tuned for a chance to win tickets to the maker fair after this program. Tony and Michelle, thanks for joining us. Thanks. It's nice to be here. Yeah, thank you. And can you tell us a little bit about the young makers program? Sure. I can start. The Speaker 4: program was based, at least in part on my own family's experience where several years ago, my older son who's always loved to build things, grew out of Legos and we realized there was nothing for him to really graduate into until we discovered maker fair in 2006 [00:02:00] so we went to maker fair a couple of times as spectators and then starting in 2008 we started creating our own projects to share and we had such a great time and we all learned so much that the young makers program is an attempt to try to bring that sort of experience to other kids and other families. Speaker 5: Tony came to us, uh, make and make are fair and was also having a conversation with our collaborators, Mike and Karen at the exploratorium about potentially doing some work that could get more kids [00:02:30] excited about science and technology. We all agree that this is something that really needs to be done and we're all excited about working together. Let's do it. So that can was 2010, right? We launched a pilot and we had 20 kids come create projects, which they exhibited at maker fair that year. Everything from a hamster habitat that functions also as a coffee table to a fire breathing dragon, all things that the kids came up with of their own design and worked with [00:03:00] mentors to create over the space of a few months leading up to maker fair. Speaker 4: So Michelle said in the pilot run in 2010 we had about 20 kids. Last year we had about 150 participants total. About a hundred were cads and a hundred were adult supporters in various roles, mentors and club managers. This year we have about 300 so we're growing pretty rapidly and what we're trying to do now is start to think about how to scale beyond the bay area and help to create similar efforts and at least other metropolitan regions, if not, you know, even rural [00:03:30] regions Speaker 5: nationally or eventually internationally. Eventually internationally. There's nothing that would constrain this to the U s we're already international. I think we have a group in Calgary, Alberta. Right. That's started up. And do you see an advantage or disadvantage? Young makers is mostly outside of schools. Speaker 4: It started mostly outside of schools, but we're really looking for early adopter kind of teachers like Aaron at the lighthouse school to see if we can adapt it to in school. School curriculum is a really complicated thing, so we don't want [00:04:00] to be gated on, you know, widespread immediate adoption. So we're trying to develop a lot of models and materials and resources and best practices in whatever setting we can run the fastest, which happens to be informal out of school after school. But I think a lot of the materials that we're developing will hopefully be usable by teachers address toward academic curriculum during the school day. Speaker 5: Hmm. I'm just to follow up on the lighthouse charter school. Sure. So we're hoping they're going to be [00:04:30] a part of a project that we're doing to get more making back into high schools. So I'm sure you know that a lot of schools have been getting their technical arts programs, technical education, really. They've got lots of vocational ads. They've also been calling these, we're trying to reverse that trend and we got some funding from DARPA to work on getting, making back into schools and it's called the makerspace project. So we are trying to find 10 schools in California this year and then a hundred the following year and then a thousand the year after that [00:05:00] all around the country have thousand and this is to try to create those kinds of shop spaces. So this kind of thing is happening at lighthouse charter school already, but we'd like to see a lot more of it happening. Are there other corporate sponsors that are interested in joining the program? Yes, there has been a lot of uh, corporate interest in getting involved with the maker movement. And so as part of that we are starting the maker education collaborative. Do you want to say something about that Tony Speaker 4: w [00:05:30] what are the motivations for the, the collaborative is w w we began to realize that there are so many different ways to connect kids with making the young makers program is, you know, out of school typically more ambitious, middle and high school level. But you could change all those traces to be in school younger. And so there's a whole bunch of variations and probably so many variations that no one company or no one organization could, could do it. But if you look at the [00:06:00] various different programs that could be created, there's a lot of overlap in the, in the needs and the resources and so one of the things the collaborative is trying to do is pull together a common platform so that as companies or organizations want to launch something, they don't have to start from dirt. There's a big network that they can plug into and you know, get off and running really quickly. Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 6: you are listening to the spectrum on k a l ex [00:06:30] today we are talking with Michelle [inaudible] of maker Media and Tony de Rosa Pixar about the young makers program that promotes young people to make fantastic things. Speaker 5: Maker fairs, this really family friendly event. Tony came with his family and what we love about the family model is that it's a really nice way that people have been able to engage and get closer and work together with their kids. [00:07:00] In the way that I think we imagine happened back in the Norman Rockwell era a lot more than it does today. Now that we're much more in a screen-based society. But part of our job is getting kids to either get away from the screens or only use those screens when they need to find out what they need to do to get back off the screens again. What's certainly interesting coming from someone from Pixar who makes it relatively passive entertainment, right? Speaker 4: Right. But if you think about the, the, the kinds of people that we have now and that we [00:07:30] want to continue to hire, they're, there are people that know how to learn on their own. They work really well in groups. They're highly multidisciplinary. And those are, those are exactly the attributes that, that the young makers program is designed to develop. And the kids that participate have those traits. We're just trying to, you know, help, help them grow in all those ways. And one of the nice things about the, this more ambitious project that we have this year is it's not just our family, it's, it's five families working together. So it becomes really a community building [00:08:00] activity. And you know, the neighbors that walk by, you know, get drawn in because they see all this crazy stuff going on in the driveway and it, so it's just a really wonderful healthy thing that everybody can contribute to and feel good about. So you touched upon the kinds of people that Pixar is interested in. Are there other things that set Pixar and O'Reilly and exploratory in that part that make them natural fits for sponsors? Well, for one thing, we're not afraid to make mistakes. So when we started working on this program and none of us [00:08:30] knew how this was going to work, so in true maker spirit we just sort of jumped in and were figuring out stuff as we go. Yeah, we all appreciate, yeah, the Speaker 5: learning by making, I think all of us appreciate story in a different way. Mike and Karen, especially at the exploratorium, are very good about documenting the work that they do and sharing that story and helping other museums explore that same theme. Tony, obviously I Pixar, they're in the business of making stories and we're all about hunting out those stories and sharing them with others. Speaker 4: What do you think of [00:09:00] creativity in digital environments? I think we're all fans of creativity in whatever form it takes. My younger son is really into Minecraft right now. One of the things you can really see is his facial reasoning has become incredibly honed. He can go into one of these environments that he's built and you know, they're very extensive. He can, he can navigate through those. Those amazes very quickly. It has become a community thing too. So he has friends that, you know, get out and play together. [00:09:30] You know, I think you can take anything too far and so we have to work to dial that back a little bit. But I think our point of view is that there are lots of burgeoning virtual opportunities for creativity. Minecraft is one video editing, web design, but the opportunities to express creativity in physical form is diminishing. And that that's the trend we're trying to reverse. Speaker 5: What kinds of things did you make when you were younger? Uh, well I am well known in my circle of friends for making calendars [00:10:00] of all things. I had a character named to Bianca, obviously a pseudonym for Mays who went on adventures around the world and then I tried to pack in as many facts into this calendar as I could. So I did oodles a research trying to find something related to my theme every year. So one year it was being, it goes to ancient Egypt, it goes to the art museum and so I tried to find facts for every single day of the year to share with people. Part of the reason I left those calendars though is [00:10:30] because I was getting more and more excited that we learn in a hands on way. And so the kind of pedagogical stance of this fact filled trivia based calendar had nothing to do with hands on learning and so I've been trying to resolve them. Speaker 5: What do you think makes for a good project for the young makers? I think the most important thing for a project to have is that the person making it has a passion about it and is excited [00:11:00] to make it. Usually the more successful projects also have something a little bit quirky or unusual about it. Sometimes bringing together two disparate things that nobody has put together before. So I'm trying to think of a great example of that habitat combat for example of bringing together a need for a base for a hamster to live and wanting it to be an attractive centerpiece [00:11:30] of a living room in the form of a coffee table. If that would be an example of a quirky approach to solving your problem. Speaker 4: I think a couple of other attributes that make a project, you know really worthwhile as to is for the team to pick a project that is just beyond or maybe even a little bit further than just beyond their current abilities so that when they complete it they really feel a sense of accomplishment. It's not a done deal going in. There's, there are all sorts of twists and turns and one of the challenges that the mentors are posed [00:12:00] with is how do I assess the skills of the team and help to dial in so that you hit that, that sweet spot that's just, it's ambitious but not too ambitious. It's just a natural part of the process to hit failures and roadblocks and our approach is learn from the failures and figure out how to get around the roadblocks and pick up the pieces and go on. So for us, failure isn't something to be avoided. It's something to be embraced and, and learn from. Speaker 5: And are most of the projects finished to completion? [00:12:30] We were, we've been doing Speaker 4: very surprised the, my expectation anyway was we might get completion rates of maybe 30 to 50% something like that. And we've seen typically more like 80% completion rates. So Speaker 5: it's amazing how motivating a deadline is. Is it? A lot of that completion has to do with, we work very hard to help them find the mentoring that they need in order to complete it. I remember last year, something that seems like it was going to be pretty simple. [00:13:00] A couple of girls will not, the project wasn't simple, but finding them a mentor seemed like it would be simple. They wanted to create a pedal powered car. So we tapped into some of our bike networks because as you can imagine, the bicycling network and the network of people who are excited about making overlap pretty heavily sent out email after email. And then we discovered that part of the problem was that these girls were making it at their school, Lighthouse Charter school here in Oakland. They're working on their project at school, but they don't have the facilities for fabricating [00:13:30] and doing the welding there. And so it's also a matter of trying to get the kids to the fabrication facility or get that convinced that bike guy to haul all the welding stuff probably on his bike to lighthouse charter school. So those are the kinds of things that we're trying to figure out in these first few years when we're doing the mentor matching. You're listening to the spectrum on k a l, X. Today Speaker 6: we're talking with Michelle Lupica of maker Media and Tony de Rosa Pixar [00:14:00] about the young makers program that encourages young makers to team with adult mentors to make fantastic projects and show them off at the maker. Speaker 5: Okay, and do you think the kids who don't finish still get a lot out of the program? Oh yeah, so they, they did finish, I want to say they did finish it. It was a beautiful pink pedal powered bike, but what it meant is that, you know, as we were getting closer and closer to that deadline of maker fair, we had to work harder and harder to persuade someone to come and [00:14:30] work with them and help them achieve what they were trying to do. But they of course I think also had to scale back a little bit. That's a big part of this is setting real expectations for what can be accomplished in time for it. One thing that we're very excited about this program in contrast to other programs is that we really put an emphasis on exhibition of our competition. This is an where you know whether you have succeeded or failed based on how you interact with others and how they can understand [00:15:00] what motivated you and what the project is all about and kids know whether or not their project worked or not. Speaker 4: One of the other things that distinguishes the program from a lot of other activities right now is that the projects aren't in response to a challenge that's posed by adults or organizers. The project visions come from the kids themselves, so they're very open ended. They're very broad. They're often extremely multidisciplinary, you know, combining in very natural ways, various branches [00:15:30] of science, engineering, art, music, and there's this unifying vision that pulls all those disciplines together. And I think the non-competition and open-endedness is one of the reasons that we see a higher percentage of girls than a lot of other programs. We're about 40% girls right now where I think a lot of other activities, science fairs and competitions are much more male oriented. Speaker 5: Is the way that the girls and boys approach a program different in any way? Speaker 4: Yes, there are a few gender [00:16:00] differences. I think that that that tend to occur, and not universally of course, but one is that the boys often want to work in small groups or alone, whereas the girls tend to want to work in larger groups. How large is large? Three or four is the typical size. Speaker 5: We had one group I think last year with about seven girls working together on a water totter. It was a pump that was powered by us. You saw, Speaker 4: I think another gender difference we've seen echoed in a number of projects. Has girls tend to want to work on things that are [00:16:30] socially beneficial and kind of right or or the hamster habitat. Whereas the boys often gravitate towards something that is a little edgier or more dangerous spits out fire. Yeah, fire is a good one. Yeah, and that's okay. One of our mottoes is, you know, anything cool is fair game. Do something cool, do something you're passionate about and it'll probably fit right in. Speaker 5: And how do you guys help recruit and improve mentors for this program? Speaker 4: Well, for recruiting, we've tapped into our [00:17:00] own social networks, so there are a lot of participants. For Pixar for instance, that are sort of natural born makers themselves. [inaudible] are interested in teaching. Speaker 5: Yeah. This upcoming maker fair I believe is our 13th event and at each one we have 600 to a thousand makers. So often what we'll do is we'll say a kid has a specific question, we'll try to find a mentor some times local, but sometimes they're okay with asking and answering questions from farther away. When the makers [00:17:30] would sign up for maker fair, we would ask them, would you be willing to mentor? I think for this round we actually took that question out because we found that most makers, again, because of that generosity of spirit that characterizes the bay area, and I think makers in any place, they don't say no when you ask them a question because they're for there to be more people like them that have this innate curiosity. So they're, they're happy to fuel that. Speaker 4: We also get people finding the website and you know, hearing stories like this [00:18:00] and they are drawn into the program through those means as well. Speaker 6: You are listening to spectrum on k a l LX today. We're talking to Tony Darrow's, a Pixar and Michelle Lupica of maker media about the young makers program that helps students create an exhibit, their projects and maker fair. Speaker 4: Another great example is a boy in Arizona, Joey Hoodie. So we got to talking with Joey, created a project, brought it to maker fair. It was a pneumatic marshmallow cannon and we'd come to find out that [00:18:30] Joey suffers from Aspbergers syndrome, but he's just flourishes in the making community. So he came to maker fair. He had a great time. I think they've been to basically every making event in every city since then. And it was really exciting to see him invited to the White House who was a wonderful picture of Joey and the president and this, it's the most wonderful you probably just off camera. Yeah. But the, the look on President Obama's face is just priceless. You know, his, his jaw dropped basically. So it was just, [00:19:00] I think it'd been a life changing experience for Joey and, and hopefully can be for a lot of other similar kids. Speaker 5: The kids at the next table. Two are in the New York Times picture kind of cowering in horror. They watch him launch this marshmallow into the wall of the state room. I'm also interested in if any of the young makers who have made projects before are interested in coming back and being mentors. Are they sort of Gung Ho about continuing the program? Speaker 4: We don't have a long enough track record to have kids that have graduated, come [00:19:30] back as mentors. Most of them that graduate go off to college. Typically studying engineering programs. What we have seen as some of the more advanced and older young makers mentoring some of the younger young makers in the program. And that's another reason that the club model is really nice because there's not only enter age learning, but we've seen intergenerational learning. In fact, we had one team last year where there was a young maker, the father was the main mentor and the grandfather was also participating. The grandfather was kind of an old school electrical [00:20:00] engineer and the project was to build police car instrumented with various sensors and sounds. So the grandfather's first reaction was, you know, let's build custom circuits for each of those functions. And somebody in one of the blessings sessions suggested looking at Ardwino, which is a, an embedded microprocessor system. And so they ended up adopting Ardwino for the project. The, the young maker ended up teaching the grandfather about embedded micro control software. [00:20:30] And so the, the learning goes both ways. How can people get involved with young makers next year? If you're interested in participating in the 2013 season of young makers, go to young makers.org there's a signup link on the left margin. We'll get you on our mailing list and we'll let you know as the season starts to spin up and can people expect Speaker 7: from maker fair in a couple of weeks. Speaker 5: So maker fairs coming up May 19th and 20th Saturday and Sunday at the San Mateo Expo Center. It's this fun filled weekend of DIY. Do it yourself. Technology and art is a little bit like burning [00:21:00] man without the drugs. Sandstorms and unity. The team that was working on the water totter. They were thinking of making a three hump lump from Dr Seuss, but scaled back. I think the original is a seven Hump Hump. We have everything from the Coke Zero Mentos fountains and that architect, which is a performance of Tesla coils and heavy rock music, which is fantastic to [00:21:30] 600 other people showing off their projects and arts, crafts, engineering, green design, music, science, technology, rockets and robots, felting, beekeeping. We've got it all. If you want more information, go to maker fair.com that's m a k e r f a I r e.com. Don't forget the e. It's the greatest show and Chow on earth. Thank you both for joining us. [00:22:00] Thank you for having us. It's been great. Thanks. Speaker 6: A regular feature of spectrum is a calendar of some of the science and technology events happening in the bay area.

Speaker 8: A study presented at the experimental biology conference in San Diego in April reported that migraine sufferers are more likely to experience brain freeze by bringing on brain freeze in the lab and volunteers and studying blood flow in their brains. Researchers from the Department of veteran affairs, the National University of Ireland in Galloway and Harvard Medical School [00:25:30] found that the sudden headache seems to be triggered by an abrupt increase in blood flow in the anterior cerebral artery and disappears when the artery constricts. The findings could eventually lead to new treatments for a variety of different headaches. This dilation. Then quick constriction may be a type of self defense for the brain because the skull is a closed structure, the sudden influx of blood could raise pressure and induced pain. This vessel constriction may be the way to bring pressure down in the brain before it reaches dangerous levels. Drugs that block [00:26:00] sudden vessel dilation or target channels involved specifically in the vessel. Dilation of headaches could be one way of changing a headaches course and that would be good news for the approximately 10% of the population that suffers from migraines. Speaker 3: Will Johnson sent in an ars technica summary of an April 22nd nature physics article by Zau Song, Ma and others from the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Quantum entanglement is a process by which 14 one particle into a given state can make a second particle go into [00:26:30] another given state, even if it is far away. Ma's team has shown experimentally that through a process known as delayed choice entanglement swapping, the result of a measurement may be dependent upon whether entanglement is performed after the measurement. They use the pulse ultraviolet laser beam and Beta [inaudible] boray crystals to generate two polarized entangled photon pairs, we'll call them photons one and two and photons three and four photons one in four have their polarities measured. Photons two and three are each delayed [00:27:00] and then subjected to either an entangles state measurement or a separable state measurement, but the choice of this measurement determines what was measured for photons. One in for this quantum steering of the past challenges, the ordinary notion of space time, Speaker 7: DNA traces cattle back to a small herd domesticated around 10,500 years ago. All cattle are descendant from as few as 80 animals that were domesticated from wild ox in the Near East some 10,500 years ago. According to a genetic study reported by science daily [00:27:30] and international team of scientists from the National Museum of Natural History and see n r s in France, the University of man's in Germany and UCL in the U K we're able to conduct the study by first extracting DNA from the bones of domestic cattle excavated in Iranian archeological sites. These sites. Date two not long after the invention of farming and are in the region where cattle were first domesticated, the team examined how small differences in the DNA [00:28:00] sequence of those cattle as well as cattle living today could have arisen given different population histories using computer simulations. They found that the DNA differences could only have arisen if a small number of animals approximately 80 were domesticated from wild ox. The study is published in the current issue of the journal of molecular biology and evolution Speaker 9: [inaudible].Speaker 2: [00:28:30] Okay.

Tony DeRose and Michelle Hlubinka discuss Young Makers, a collaboration between Pixar, the Exploratorium, and Maker Media to connect kids with adult mentors to develop projects for the Maker Faire (May 19-20, 2012 in San Mateo). www.youngmakers.orgTranscriptSpeaker 1: Spectrum's next Speaker 2: [inaudible].Speaker 1: [00:00:30] Welcome to spectrum the science and technology show on k a l x Berkeley, a biweekly 30 minute program bringing you interviews featuring bay area scientists and technologists as well as a calendar of local events and news. Speaker 3: Hi, I'm Rick Karnofsky. Brad swift and I are the hosts of today's show. We are speaking with Dr Tony Rose who got his graduate degree from cal and is now the head of research at Pixar [00:01:00] and Michelle who Banka the educational director for our Riley and maker media. They are here to discuss the young makers program, this collaboration between Pixar mic magazine and the exploratorium teams, young people with adult makers to create and construct amazing projects for the maker fair. Each year they'll talk about the program and what you might expect to see from the teams that this year's maker fair at the San Mateo Fair gowns on May 19th and 20th how you might get involved next year and about the future of educating and encouraging more young people to make more things in the [00:01:30] physical world. And please stay tuned for a chance to win tickets to the maker fair after this program. Tony and Michelle, thanks for joining us. Thanks. It's nice to be here. Yeah, thank you. And can you tell us a little bit about the young makers program? Sure. I can start. The Speaker 4: program was based, at least in part on my own family's experience where several years ago, my older son who's always loved to build things, grew out of Legos and we realized there was nothing for him to really graduate into until we discovered maker fair in 2006 [00:02:00] so we went to maker fair a couple of times as spectators and then starting in 2008 we started creating our own projects to share and we had such a great time and we all learned so much that the young makers program is an attempt to try to bring that sort of experience to other kids and other families. Speaker 5: Tony came to us, uh, make and make are fair and was also having a conversation with our collaborators, Mike and Karen at the exploratorium about potentially doing some work that could get more kids [00:02:30] excited about science and technology. We all agree that this is something that really needs to be done and we're all excited about working together. Let's do it. So that can was 2010, right? We launched a pilot and we had 20 kids come create projects, which they exhibited at maker fair that year. Everything from a hamster habitat that functions also as a coffee table to a fire breathing dragon, all things that the kids came up with of their own design and worked with [00:03:00] mentors to create over the space of a few months leading up to maker fair. Speaker 4: So Michelle said in the pilot run in 2010 we had about 20 kids. Last year we had about 150 participants total. About a hundred were cads and a hundred were adult supporters in various roles, mentors and club managers. This year we have about 300 so we're growing pretty rapidly and what we're trying to do now is start to think about how to scale beyond the bay area and help to create similar efforts and at least other metropolitan regions, if not, you know, even rural [00:03:30] regions Speaker 5: nationally or eventually internationally. Eventually internationally. There's nothing that would constrain this to the U s we're already international. I think we have a group in Calgary, Alberta. Right. That's started up. And do you see an advantage or disadvantage? Young makers is mostly outside of schools. Speaker 4: It started mostly outside of schools, but we're really looking for early adopter kind of teachers like Aaron at the lighthouse school to see if we can adapt it to in school. School curriculum is a really complicated thing, so we don't want [00:04:00] to be gated on, you know, widespread immediate adoption. So we're trying to develop a lot of models and materials and resources and best practices in whatever setting we can run the fastest, which happens to be informal out of school after school. But I think a lot of the materials that we're developing will hopefully be usable by teachers address toward academic curriculum during the school day. Speaker 5: Hmm. I'm just to follow up on the lighthouse charter school. Sure. So we're hoping they're going to be [00:04:30] a part of a project that we're doing to get more making back into high schools. So I'm sure you know that a lot of schools have been getting their technical arts programs, technical education, really. They've got lots of vocational ads. They've also been calling these, we're trying to reverse that trend and we got some funding from DARPA to work on getting, making back into schools and it's called the makerspace project. So we are trying to find 10 schools in California this year and then a hundred the following year and then a thousand the year after that [00:05:00] all around the country have thousand and this is to try to create those kinds of shop spaces. So this kind of thing is happening at lighthouse charter school already, but we'd like to see a lot more of it happening. Are there other corporate sponsors that are interested in joining the program? Yes, there has been a lot of uh, corporate interest in getting involved with the maker movement. And so as part of that we are starting the maker education collaborative. Do you want to say something about that Tony Speaker 4: w [00:05:30] what are the motivations for the, the collaborative is w w we began to realize that there are so many different ways to connect kids with making the young makers program is, you know, out of school typically more ambitious, middle and high school level. But you could change all those traces to be in school younger. And so there's a whole bunch of variations and probably so many variations that no one company or no one organization could, could do it. But if you look at the [00:06:00] various different programs that could be created, there's a lot of overlap in the, in the needs and the resources and so one of the things the collaborative is trying to do is pull together a common platform so that as companies or organizations want to launch something, they don't have to start from dirt. There's a big network that they can plug into and you know, get off and running really quickly. Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 6: you are listening to the spectrum on k a l ex [00:06:30] today we are talking with Michelle [inaudible] of maker Media and Tony de Rosa Pixar about the young makers program that promotes young people to make fantastic things. Speaker 5: Maker fairs, this really family friendly event. Tony came with his family and what we love about the family model is that it's a really nice way that people have been able to engage and get closer and work together with their kids. [00:07:00] In the way that I think we imagine happened back in the Norman Rockwell era a lot more than it does today. Now that we're much more in a screen-based society. But part of our job is getting kids to either get away from the screens or only use those screens when they need to find out what they need to do to get back off the screens again. What's certainly interesting coming from someone from Pixar who makes it relatively passive entertainment, right? Speaker 4: Right. But if you think about the, the, the kinds of people that we have now and that we [00:07:30] want to continue to hire, they're, there are people that know how to learn on their own. They work really well in groups. They're highly multidisciplinary. And those are, those are exactly the attributes that, that the young makers program is designed to develop. And the kids that participate have those traits. We're just trying to, you know, help, help them grow in all those ways. And one of the nice things about the, this more ambitious project that we have this year is it's not just our family, it's, it's five families working together. So it becomes really a community building [00:08:00] activity. And you know, the neighbors that walk by, you know, get drawn in because they see all this crazy stuff going on in the driveway and it, so it's just a really wonderful healthy thing that everybody can contribute to and feel good about. So you touched upon the kinds of people that Pixar is interested in. Are there other things that set Pixar and O'Reilly and exploratory in that part that make them natural fits for sponsors? Well, for one thing, we're not afraid to make mistakes. So when we started working on this program and none of us [00:08:30] knew how this was going to work, so in true maker spirit we just sort of jumped in and were figuring out stuff as we go. Yeah, we all appreciate, yeah, the Speaker 5: learning by making, I think all of us appreciate story in a different way. Mike and Karen, especially at the exploratorium, are very good about documenting the work that they do and sharing that story and helping other museums explore that same theme. Tony, obviously I Pixar, they're in the business of making stories and we're all about hunting out those stories and sharing them with others. Speaker 4: What do you think of [00:09:00] creativity in digital environments? I think we're all fans of creativity in whatever form it takes. My younger son is really into Minecraft right now. One of the things you can really see is his facial reasoning has become incredibly honed. He can go into one of these environments that he's built and you know, they're very extensive. He can, he can navigate through those. Those amazes very quickly. It has become a community thing too. So he has friends that, you know, get out and play together. [00:09:30] You know, I think you can take anything too far and so we have to work to dial that back a little bit. But I think our point of view is that there are lots of burgeoning virtual opportunities for creativity. Minecraft is one video editing, web design, but the opportunities to express creativity in physical form is diminishing. And that that's the trend we're trying to reverse. Speaker 5: What kinds of things did you make when you were younger? Uh, well I am well known in my circle of friends for making calendars [00:10:00] of all things. I had a character named to Bianca, obviously a pseudonym for Mays who went on adventures around the world and then I tried to pack in as many facts into this calendar as I could. So I did oodles a research trying to find something related to my theme every year. So one year it was being, it goes to ancient Egypt, it goes to the art museum and so I tried to find facts for every single day of the year to share with people. Part of the reason I left those calendars though is [00:10:30] because I was getting more and more excited that we learn in a hands on way. And so the kind of pedagogical stance of this fact filled trivia based calendar had nothing to do with hands on learning and so I've been trying to resolve them. Speaker 5: What do you think makes for a good project for the young makers? I think the most important thing for a project to have is that the person making it has a passion about it and is excited [00:11:00] to make it. Usually the more successful projects also have something a little bit quirky or unusual about it. Sometimes bringing together two disparate things that nobody has put together before. So I'm trying to think of a great example of that habitat combat for example of bringing together a need for a base for a hamster to live and wanting it to be an attractive centerpiece [00:11:30] of a living room in the form of a coffee table. If that would be an example of a quirky approach to solving your problem. Speaker 4: I think a couple of other attributes that make a project, you know really worthwhile as to is for the team to pick a project that is just beyond or maybe even a little bit further than just beyond their current abilities so that when they complete it they really feel a sense of accomplishment. It's not a done deal going in. There's, there are all sorts of twists and turns and one of the challenges that the mentors are posed [00:12:00] with is how do I assess the skills of the team and help to dial in so that you hit that, that sweet spot that's just, it's ambitious but not too ambitious. It's just a natural part of the process to hit failures and roadblocks and our approach is learn from the failures and figure out how to get around the roadblocks and pick up the pieces and go on. So for us, failure isn't something to be avoided. It's something to be embraced and, and learn from. Speaker 5: And are most of the projects finished to completion? [00:12:30] We were, we've been doing Speaker 4: very surprised the, my expectation anyway was we might get completion rates of maybe 30 to 50% something like that. And we've seen typically more like 80% completion rates. So Speaker 5: it's amazing how motivating a deadline is. Is it? A lot of that completion has to do with, we work very hard to help them find the mentoring that they need in order to complete it. I remember last year, something that seems like it was going to be pretty simple. [00:13:00] A couple of girls will not, the project wasn't simple, but finding them a mentor seemed like it would be simple. They wanted to create a pedal powered car. So we tapped into some of our bike networks because as you can imagine, the bicycling network and the network of people who are excited about making overlap pretty heavily sent out email after email. And then we discovered that part of the problem was that these girls were making it at their school, Lighthouse Charter school here in Oakland. They're working on their project at school, but they don't have the facilities for fabricating [00:13:30] and doing the welding there. And so it's also a matter of trying to get the kids to the fabrication facility or get that convinced that bike guy to haul all the welding stuff probably on his bike to lighthouse charter school. So those are the kinds of things that we're trying to figure out in these first few years when we're doing the mentor matching. You're listening to the spectrum on k a l, X. Today Speaker 6: we're talking with Michelle Lupica of maker Media and Tony de Rosa Pixar [00:14:00] about the young makers program that encourages young makers to team with adult mentors to make fantastic projects and show them off at the maker. Speaker 5: Okay, and do you think the kids who don't finish still get a lot out of the program? Oh yeah, so they, they did finish, I want to say they did finish it. It was a beautiful pink pedal powered bike, but what it meant is that, you know, as we were getting closer and closer to that deadline of maker fair, we had to work harder and harder to persuade someone to come and [00:14:30] work with them and help them achieve what they were trying to do. But they of course I think also had to scale back a little bit. That's a big part of this is setting real expectations for what can be accomplished in time for it. One thing that we're very excited about this program in contrast to other programs is that we really put an emphasis on exhibition of our competition. This is an where you know whether you have succeeded or failed based on how you interact with others and how they can understand [00:15:00] what motivated you and what the project is all about and kids know whether or not their project worked or not. Speaker 4: One of the other things that distinguishes the program from a lot of other activities right now is that the projects aren't in response to a challenge that's posed by adults or organizers. The project visions come from the kids themselves, so they're very open ended. They're very broad. They're often extremely multidisciplinary, you know, combining in very natural ways, various branches [00:15:30] of science, engineering, art, music, and there's this unifying vision that pulls all those disciplines together. And I think the non-competition and open-endedness is one of the reasons that we see a higher percentage of girls than a lot of other programs. We're about 40% girls right now where I think a lot of other activities, science fairs and competitions are much more male oriented. Speaker 5: Is the way that the girls and boys approach a program different in any way? Speaker 4: Yes, there are a few gender [00:16:00] differences. I think that that that tend to occur, and not universally of course, but one is that the boys often want to work in small groups or alone, whereas the girls tend to want to work in larger groups. How large is large? Three or four is the typical size. Speaker 5: We had one group I think last year with about seven girls working together on a water totter. It was a pump that was powered by us. You saw, Speaker 4: I think another gender difference we've seen echoed in a number of projects. Has girls tend to want to work on things that are [00:16:30] socially beneficial and kind of right or or the hamster habitat. Whereas the boys often gravitate towards something that is a little edgier or more dangerous spits out fire. Yeah, fire is a good one. Yeah, and that's okay. One of our mottoes is, you know, anything cool is fair game. Do something cool, do something you're passionate about and it'll probably fit right in. Speaker 5: And how do you guys help recruit and improve mentors for this program? Speaker 4: Well, for recruiting, we've tapped into our [00:17:00] own social networks, so there are a lot of participants. For Pixar for instance, that are sort of natural born makers themselves. [inaudible] are interested in teaching. Speaker 5: Yeah. This upcoming maker fair I believe is our 13th event and at each one we have 600 to a thousand makers. So often what we'll do is we'll say a kid has a specific question, we'll try to find a mentor some times local, but sometimes they're okay with asking and answering questions from farther away. When the makers [00:17:30] would sign up for maker fair, we would ask them, would you be willing to mentor? I think for this round we actually took that question out because we found that most makers, again, because of that generosity of spirit that characterizes the bay area, and I think makers in any place, they don't say no when you ask them a question because they're for there to be more people like them that have this innate curiosity. So they're, they're happy to fuel that. Speaker 4: We also get people finding the website and you know, hearing stories like this [00:18:00] and they are drawn into the program through those means as well. Speaker 6: You are listening to spectrum on k a l LX today. We're talking to Tony Darrow's, a Pixar and Michelle Lupica of maker media about the young makers program that helps students create an exhibit, their projects and maker fair. Speaker 4: Another great example is a boy in Arizona, Joey Hoodie. So we got to talking with Joey, created a project, brought it to maker fair. It was a pneumatic marshmallow cannon and we'd come to find out that [00:18:30] Joey suffers from Aspbergers syndrome, but he's just flourishes in the making community. So he came to maker fair. He had a great time. I think they've been to basically every making event in every city since then. And it was really exciting to see him invited to the White House who was a wonderful picture of Joey and the president and this, it's the most wonderful you probably just off camera. Yeah. But the, the look on President Obama's face is just priceless. You know, his, his jaw dropped basically. So it was just, [00:19:00] I think it'd been a life changing experience for Joey and, and hopefully can be for a lot of other similar kids. Speaker 5: The kids at the next table. Two are in the New York Times picture kind of cowering in horror. They watch him launch this marshmallow into the wall of the state room. I'm also interested in if any of the young makers who have made projects before are interested in coming back and being mentors. Are they sort of Gung Ho about continuing the program? Speaker 4: We don't have a long enough track record to have kids that have graduated, come [00:19:30] back as mentors. Most of them that graduate go off to college. Typically studying engineering programs. What we have seen as some of the more advanced and older young makers mentoring some of the younger young makers in the program. And that's another reason that the club model is really nice because there's not only enter age learning, but we've seen intergenerational learning. In fact, we had one team last year where there was a young maker, the father was the main mentor and the grandfather was also participating. The grandfather was kind of an old school electrical [00:20:00] engineer and the project was to build police car instrumented with various sensors and sounds. So the grandfather's first reaction was, you know, let's build custom circuits for each of those functions. And somebody in one of the blessings sessions suggested looking at Ardwino, which is a, an embedded microprocessor system. And so they ended up adopting Ardwino for the project. The, the young maker ended up teaching the grandfather about embedded micro control software. [00:20:30] And so the, the learning goes both ways. How can people get involved with young makers next year? If you're interested in participating in the 2013 season of young makers, go to young makers.org there's a signup link on the left margin. We'll get you on our mailing list and we'll let you know as the season starts to spin up and can people expect Speaker 7: from maker fair in a couple of weeks. Speaker 5: So maker fairs coming up May 19th and 20th Saturday and Sunday at the San Mateo Expo Center. It's this fun filled weekend of DIY. Do it yourself. Technology and art is a little bit like burning [00:21:00] man without the drugs. Sandstorms and unity. The team that was working on the water totter. They were thinking of making a three hump lump from Dr Seuss, but scaled back. I think the original is a seven Hump Hump. We have everything from the Coke Zero Mentos fountains and that architect, which is a performance of Tesla coils and heavy rock music, which is fantastic to [00:21:30] 600 other people showing off their projects and arts, crafts, engineering, green design, music, science, technology, rockets and robots, felting, beekeeping. We've got it all. If you want more information, go to maker fair.com that's m a k e r f a I r e.com. Don't forget the e. It's the greatest show and Chow on earth. Thank you both for joining us. [00:22:00] Thank you for having us. It's been great. Thanks. Speaker 6: A regular feature of spectrum is a calendar of some of the science and technology events happening in the bay area. Over the next two weeks. We say Katovich and Brad swift join me for this. Speaker 8: One of the most fundamental questions in biology is why we age. On Monday May 7th the Department of Molecular and cell biology at UC Berkeley will present the seminar cellular metabolism, aging and disease from four to 5:00 PM at the Lee Ka-shing Center. [00:22:30] The featured Speaker is Donica Chen from Berkeley Center for nutritional science and toxicology. Chen will address the aging process and therapeutic targets to slow down aging,Speaker 7: putting water online. On Wednesday May 9th the floating Sensor Network Team will conduct a major experiment. They will launch the complete 100 unit floating sensor fleet and introduce the fleet and its realtime sensing capabilities to the public. Wednesday morning. The fleet will be launched [00:23:00] from Walnut Grove, California and cycled through the Sacramento River Georgiana SLU environment for the rest of the day at 4:00 PM in sweetheart or dye hall and the UC Berkeley campus. There will be around table discussion and public seminar. During the round table discussion, water researchers will explore the implications of this emerging sensing technology on the future of California's water management challenges.

Speaker 8: A study presented at the experimental biology conference in San Diego in April reported that migraine sufferers are more likely to experience brain freeze by bringing on brain freeze in the lab and volunteers and studying blood flow in their brains. Researchers from the Department of veteran affairs, the National University of Ireland in Galloway and Harvard Medical School [00:25:30] found that the sudden headache seems to be triggered by an abrupt increase in blood flow in the anterior cerebral artery and disappears when the artery constricts. The findings could eventually lead to new treatments for a variety of different headaches. This dilation. Then quick constriction may be a type of self defense for the brain because the skull is a closed structure, the sudden influx of blood could raise pressure and induced pain. This vessel constriction may be the way to bring pressure down in the brain before it reaches dangerous levels. Drugs that block [00:26:00] sudden vessel dilation or target channels involved specifically in the vessel. Dilation of headaches could be one way of changing a headaches course and that would be good news for the approximately 10% of the population that suffers from migraines. Speaker 3: Will Johnson sent in an ars technica summary of an April 22nd nature physics article by Zau Song, Ma and others from the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Quantum entanglement is a process by which 14 one particle into a given state can make a second particle go into [00:26:30] another given state, even if it is far away. Ma's team has shown experimentally that through a process known as delayed choice entanglement swapping, the result of a measurement may be dependent upon whether entanglement is performed after the measurement. They use the pulse ultraviolet laser beam and Beta [inaudible] boray crystals to generate two polarized entangled photon pairs, we'll call them photons one and two and photons three and four photons one in four have their polarities measured. Photons two and three are each delayed [00:27:00] and then subjected to either an entangles state measurement or a separable state measurement, but the choice of this measurement determines what was measured for photons. One in for this quantum steering of the past challenges, the ordinary notion of space time, Speaker 7: DNA traces cattle back to a small herd domesticated around 10,500 years ago. All cattle are descendant from as few as 80 animals that were domesticated from wild ox in the Near East some 10,500 years ago. According to a genetic study reported by science daily [00:27:30] and international team of scientists from the National Museum of Natural History and see n r s in France, the University of man's in Germany and UCL in the U K we're able to conduct the study by first extracting DNA from the bones of domestic cattle excavated in Iranian archeological sites. These sites. Date two not long after the invention of farming and are in the region where cattle were first domesticated, the team examined how small differences in the DNA [00:28:00] sequence of those cattle as well as cattle living today could have arisen given different population histories using computer simulations. They found that the DNA differences could only have arisen if a small number of animals approximately 80 were domesticated from wild ox. The study is published in the current issue of the journal of molecular biology and evolution Speaker 9: [inaudible].Speaker 2: [00:28:30] Okay.
