Hour 1: Jerry and Joe B are here for one more show, our last before radio new year. The Aaron Rodgers vs Jihad Ward saga continues and Aaron Rodgers said his time with the Jets has been like living in a dream. The Jets have a lot to live up to and Joe says it behind with a must-win in week 1. The Jets have had expectations this high very few times before. Jerry found one comment from Joe Schoen to be a little curious. The Giants just need to tread water early on. CLo is in for Jerry today. Joe Douglas says the Jets know what is expected of them. This week was Gleyber Torres in a nutshell. Joe is still too aggravated about the Justin Verlander trade to watch him face the Yankees tonight. Harrison Bader was claimed by the Reds. In the final segment of the hour, Joe recalls Bruce Springsteen's only time opening for another band - and he got booed off the stage. Then Jerry asks Joe which NFL teams he's buying and selling. Hour 2: Bad weather can ruin a vacation and there's nothing we can do about it. Hal said the Yankees could look for outside help to evaluate their analytics operation. Jerry thinks the Yankees can be fixed but it will cost Hal a lot of money. The Mets fired a few front office members and reports say other teams do not expect Pete Alonso to be traded. Joe and Jerry agree that the Mets shouldn't wait until Pete Alonso hits free agency. Sign him now. CLo returns for an update but first we discuss Bruce Springsteen concerts, college towns and Joe traveling to a Penn State game. Joe Douglas says the focus is on the Bills and Joe is beside himself that the Colts still have more AFC East titles than the Jets despite not being in the division for the last 20 years. Joe wants the Jets to destroy the Patriots. Ronald Acuna is having a record-setting season and Mookie Betts had an all-time great August. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry and Joe preview the Rutgers football season. Is fan behavior a problem everywhere? Hour 3: Jerry and Joe remember Hall of Famer Gil Brandt who passed away yesterday at the age of 91. Then Jerry plays “ripped from the headlines” with Joe. CLo is back with another update but first we hear about Joe's bobblehead and stuffed animal collection. Aaron Rodgers spoke at length about how great his experience with the Jets has been so far. Mike Evans could be heading out of Tampa Bay soon. Are the Jets a possible landing spot? Breaking down the Tom Brady / Irina Shayk / Bradley Cooper love triangle. Topless beaches do not provide the experience you want. In the final segment of the hour, Gary Myers joins the show to talk about his new book about the 1986 Giants. Hour 4: Jerry and Joe remember the 1986 Giants after hearing Gary Myers share some stories from the book. If the Jets don't win in the next few years with Aaron Rodgers it feels like they never will. CLo returns for his final update and has audio of Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon trying to fire up his team. Joe is not happy that the ACC is inviting Stanford and Cal to join the conference. Pete Carroll stands by what Joe says is the worst call in the history of football. Team USA is struggling overseas. Ronny Mauricio is expected to make his debut tonight but the Mets are on Apple TV. The Yankees, with Jasson Dominguez and Austin Wells, are on Prime. Joe isn't happy about it all. In our Moment of The Day, Jerry and Joe have some thoughts on nude beaches. In the final segment of the week, Joe makes his predictions for the Jets and Giants seasons.

One of the biggest questions surrounding the conflict in Ukraine is to what extent the shadow of nuclear war affects the degree of involvement by Western countries. Much of the literature in nuclear deterrence theory assumes the incentives of mutually assured destruction are strong enough to avoid a nuclear war, and hence the existence of nuclear capabilities in Russia and the West should not play much of a role in how the conflict progresses. But one paper by a late University of California Berkeley political scientist calls this theory into question. On this episode, we discuss Robert Powell's “Nuclear Brinkmanship, Limited War, and Military Power”. In it, Powell builds a model that explains how conflicts can lead to nuclear war even under mutually assured destruction, but also how threat of that war changes the dynamics of any conflict from the beginning. Both findings give us a number of insights into the current situation in Ukraine.

# 073 – After listening to this episode, you will be able to analyze whether a college or university is a Reach, Target, or a Safety school for you. One of the most important things you will do as part of the college admission process is to create a list of schools that is balanced. That is, a list that has a number of schools that will likely accept you, some that may or may not accept you, and some that, more than likely, will not accept you, but you still apply to them because they are part of your dream college list and because they may have accepted people with some of your non-academic characteristics in the past. Jankel and I uncover the easiest way to decipher for yourself whether a school will be a Reach, Target, or Safety school for you. Additionally, we present a document that will allow you to know the level of importance every school gives to each academic and non-academic component of your application. We finish the episode by analyzing the most recent admission data for UC Berkeley and UC Riverside, and the GPA and SAT or ACT scores that would make them Reach, Target, or Safety schools for an applicant. You will be surprised to see how differently each school views application requirements, even though they are part of the same university system.

Clair Brown is Professor of Economics at UC Berkeley. Clair has published research on many aspects of inequality and sustainability. Her book Buddhist Economics: An enlightened approach to the dismal science (Bloomsbury Press) provides an economic framework that integrates global sustainability, shared prosperity and care for the human spirit. This holistic approach is based on actual national policies that reduce inequality, protect the environment, and support all people living a dignified, meaningful life. Her research team created the Sustainable, Share-Prosperity Index (SSPI) for 50 countries.

Tune in to discover: How economics have changed over the last few decades for the better in terms of understanding human interdependence and impermanence How the coronavirus has and will continue to change the economy and the way in which companies operate, as well as the way people perceive value and change In what three key areas countries need to improve their policies and performance “Most people go into economics because they want to change the way the world works. Most people really do care about…how well people are living…inequality…the climate crisis, the health emergency, and racial justice, but economists tend to think that all of those things are interdependent in economic systems, and that how the economy works can make a difference in all of those areas,” says Brown, as she explains why she's an economist. To her, economics is about figuring out how to take the resources we have and work with them to provide what people need in order to have happy and meaningful lives. She discusses her book, Buddhist Economics: An Enlightened Approach to the Dismal Science, which addresses ways in which to think about the worldview of how the economy functions and the assumptions derived from this worldview. For instance, are people selfish or altruistic? Independent from or interdependent with one another and the planet? What differentiates the rational from the irrational? Brown argues that the way an economist answers these questions necessarily impacts the way they think about the way the economy functions. She provides insight on her view of the effects of the coronavirus, which include a reevaluation of what we find meaningful in our lives, a greater awareness of the climate change emergency (noticed through the significant improvements in air and water quality during the lockdown), and a realization that we really can implement change quickly.

Dr. Adam Arkin's research focuses on the synthetic biology of microorganisms, environmental genomics, and molecular ecosystems biology. On today's episode, you will learn: How many microbes exist in a single gram of soil, and how scientists conduct research in the lab to try to identify how all of these microbes interact and function as a community What bacteriocin is and how it can utilize a partial phage to kill other bacteria directly How to understand the longitudinal dynamic between viruses and bacteria At the University of California, Berkeley, Adam Arkin, Ph.D. is researching one of his primary interests, which is how microbes (i.e. bacteria, archaea, viruses) transform the environment and impact various processes, including the processes that occur in our own bodies. He is working on how to track and characterize groups of microbes, understand how they operate together, and determine the ways in which we may be able to intervene in order to get microbes to do things that are beneficial to us. The largest projects he's working on involve terrestrial environments, such as the subsurface of a watershed. In particular, Dr. Arkin and his team are researching the microbes in a field behind the Oak Ridge National Lab, where the soil is contaminated with uranium and has the highest level of nitrates on Earth. In that location, microbes breathe in the metals and transform them to immobile and relatively harmless substances. Dr. Arkin explain how this may be applied to the agricultural arena in order to use microbes that mobilize nutrients for crops, protect them from pathogens, increase resilience to drought, and improve their ability to sequester carbon, thereby reducing greenhouse gasses. He continues by discussing the potential of a human microbiome that is resistant to invasion by pathogens and allows us to make better use of nutrients. What's stopping the development of this? Dr. Arkin explains that despite the growing amount of data being gathered in the field, there are still huge gaps in basic data about the composition and function of microbial genes in a wide range of conditions. Consider, for example, that a single gram of soil contains one million microbes and about 10,000 different species of microbes, and that the human gut contains just as many, if not more. He explains the approach that has allowed his research and the research of others to show that most large community microbial dynamics can be described by much smaller numbers of pairwise interactions. In other words, predictions about a large community of microbes can be made based on observations of smaller number of pairwise interactions among community members. In addition to all of this, Dr. Arkin takes a look at viruses and phages, bacteriocin, mechanisms of cell sensing, the various uses of phages (including those in the therapeutic realm), in what ways his research relies on machine learning and computational biology, and so much more.

She explains the following: How nanoparticles can be used as DNA, RNA, or protein-delivery vessels in a way that confers important advantages to crops  What is fluorescence, why it's useful, and why some materials are naturally fluorescent What dopamine imaging studies using nanoscale probes have revealed about the way individual neurons respond to a certain psychoactive drug In Dr. Landry's lab, she and her team are researching the uses and advantages of being able to control molecules that are on the scale of the building blocks of life—single nanoparticles the size of a single molecule of water. She discusses the two primary focuses of her research, the first of which uses nanoparticles to deliver DNA, RNA, and protein into plants to improve their ability to resist pathogens and drought conditions. She explains that the technology they've created is different than conventional approaches which genetically modify plants, and as a result, the plants they alter will not be subject to lengthy and strict regulatory processes. In turn, this means that they will be easier to bring to market. The second focus of her lab involves chemically altering nanoparticles in a way that will make them responsive to dopamine, an important signaling molecule in the brain that is a target for antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs. Dr. Landry and her team have created probes that fluorescently image dopamine in healthy and diseased brains, and this has led to surprising findings about the way in which individual neurons respond to certain substances.   Tune in for the full conversation and visit http://landrylab.com/ to learn more.

In 2016, researchers at the University of California - Berkeley created Salto (Saltatorial Locomotion on Terrain Obstacles). Salto is a tiny jumping robot that can leap off of the ground, hit a spot on the wall, and then jump off the wall. Cool, but limited.Since then, the team has added a host of capabilities. Salto can now run or jump for more than 10 minutes, taking as many as 100 jumps in that period. The remote-controlled robot can also jump four-feet high, run 8-10 mph and has the ability to clear various obstacles. It also has the ability to follow, land and launch from moving targets, like a tiny little parkour robot.Because it's so quick, it can land and launch off of surfaces that normal robots would simply slide off of. It also has onboard sensors that help it stay upright and change position while in the air to make sure it lands correctly.Next, the team wants to make Salto more agile, including the ability to jump on/from various surfaces, like gravel. Right now, it’s restricted to wood, brick, grass and concrete. The researchers also want to add arms, so it can grab onto objects after it jumps. The design was inspired by galagoes, which are also known as bush babies.The team recently presented its work at the 2019 International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Montreal.Like other robots that were designed with a unique set of skills, Salto could one day be used for search and rescue missions, looking for survivors while navigating unpredictable terrain.

Nicolas C. Pégard, Ph.D., a University of California, Berkeley neuroscientist will provide an illuminating overview of his work to develop optical systems that are designed to help neuroscientists solve problems. Of particular interest to Berkley, neuroscientist is a method known as optogenetics. Optogenetics is a process that uses light to modify molecular events in a specific manner, in living cells and organisms, which enables researchers to connect computers to the brain and focus on specific neurons. Essentially, the cell's genetic toolbox is used to create proteins that are not naturally present within the brain, a true combination process combining optics and genetics. The Berkeley researcher will detail how his team uses holograms to create artificial patterns of neural activity that can mimic what the brain is doing when it is experiencing a thought or engaging in an action. This allows researchers to put the brain into a state that replicates what would happen if the brain had actually experienced a sensory stimulus. Pégard gives us a glimpse into the future of these techniques of neuroscience, some of which sound like they could be pulled straight from a big budget science fiction Hollywood movie plot. Case in point, this neural activity method could actually trick the brain into believing something has occurred that did not, or even place new ideas into the brain. The discussion will detail how observation of the brain in a diseased state could lead to monumental advances in drug therapy for brain diseases, which may enable the development of higher efficacy drugs with minimal or no side effects. Further research could facilitate groundbreaking achievements in prosthetics, for if there can be communication with the brain that involves multiple thousands of neurons, prostheses could become higher functioning. Nicolas C. Pégard and neuroscience researchers foresee changes that could literally alter the course for human health and brain function, but for now, his team is taking it to step by step.

Darryl Stephens is an out and proud Gay African American actor, best known for playing the lead role of Noah Nicholson on The Logo Channels hit series "Noah''s Arc". Stephens grew up in the Altadena and Pasadena areas of Los Angeles, CA. He attended the University Of California Berkeley where he studied sociology and ethnic studies along with drama and dance before earning a Bachelor's Degree in American Culture Studies.

He also played in a Hollywood revival of the well-known play "Bent". Stephens had supporting roles in the films "Seamless", "Not Quite Right", and "Circuit". However, his breakout role came in 2004, when independent filmmaker Patrick Ian-Polk cast him as the lead character for the new series "Noah's Arc". The original intention was for the show to be released direct-to-DVD after it had received rave reviews at various film festivals. However, in the fall of 2005, LOGO picked up Noah's Arc, which debuted on October 19. Upon the end of the series, it was announced that there would be feature film version, in which Stephens will presumably star. By the end of 2006, Stephens had completed roles in the comedy Another Gay Movie and the drama Boy Culture, the latter alongside newcomer Derek Magyar. His next film, scheduled for release in 2010,is "Bolden!", a biographical film about a cornet player in which he plays Frank Lewis. We Hope you join us Live on Monday June 8th at 12:30 A.M. EST.
