Lunch 'n Learn presentation: More traffic comes to Princeton.edu from Facebook, Wikipedia, College Confidential, FARK, and StumbleUpon than any mainstream media news site. Controlling Princeton's image on these social media sites is not always possible, but joining the conversation often is. Using examples from our institutional presence as well as faculty presence on the social Web, we will explore the role social media can take in a strategic communications plan. For departments and individuals considering establishing or expanding a presence on the social Web, we will review the considerations that should be addressed before taking the plunge. We believe asking the right questions will save time and increase your impact. We will discuss who the audience is and what they expect, comment moderation policies, correctly incorporating University Web policy, and potential legal pitfalls.

Lunch 'n Learn presentation: The archaeological site of Akrotiri on the volcanic island of Thera (modern-day Santorini, Greece) has yielded an unparalleled trove of artifacts and information from the prehistoric Aegean. The ancient civilization was destroyed by a volcanic eruption, which buried the remains of a flourishing Late Bronze Age (c. 1630 B.C.) settlement in ash. Among the most significant finds are numerous wall paintings, ranging from naturalistic and narrative scenes to abstract motifs. However, these paintings are recovered as thousands of plaster fragments, and reassembling them consumes a substantial portion of the effort expended at Akrotiri. Dr. Rusinkiewicz will describe a system that uses 3-D and 2-D digitization hardware, together with computer-based matching techniques, to assist archaeologists and conservators in documenting and reassembling the wall paintings. Although mature technologies exist for acquiring images, geometry, and surface normals of small objects, they remain cumbersome and time-consuming for non-experts to employ on a large scale. Our system addresses the scalability, usability, and quality challenges of large-scale 3-D and 2-D digitization, by incorporating new algorithms to automatically align 3-D scans, register 2-D scans to 3-D geometry, and compute surface normals from 2-D scans. A novel 3-D matching algorithm efficiently searches for matching fragments using the scanned geometric models.

Recent research, including a provocative study by Princeton alumni Emily Sands, indicates that plays by women are less frequently produced now than they were at the turn of the 20th century. More women have won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in recent years, including Suzan-Lori Parks (Top Dog/Underdog) Paula Vogel (How I Learned to Drive) and this year, Lynn Nottage (Ruined), but very few women ever win the Tony Award for playwrighting or directing. What does this imply? Why and how does gender disparity persist in theatre?

Matthew Botvinick's lab works at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology and computer science, seeking to clarify the computational and neural foundations of human behavior. In pursuit of this mission, they employ a diverse set of research tools, including functional neuroimaging (fMRI), behavioral techniques (reaction time, error, and decision analyses), and computational modeling (neural networks, reinforcement learning models, and belief nets), typically applying multiple techniques to a single problem. They are leveraging these tools to investigate a range of specific research questions, spanning the topics of cognitive control, working memory, decision making, sequential action, and language processing. Current projects include the monitoring and control of cognitive processing, the control of sequential behavior, and the representation of sequential order in working memory.

Creative Commons provides an easy-to-understand alternative to traditional copyright and is designed precisely to encourage people to share and build upon the work of others. Creators of content disseminated on the Web can use Creative Commons licenses to invite others to reuse, transform, and republish their intellectual property, all without cost to either party and without having to obtain time-consuming permissions. Creative Commons make use of four different license conditions--attribution, share-alike, noncommercial, and no derivative works--in varying combinations to create six distinct--and free--usage licenses. It is estimated that several million pages of web content are currently governed by Creative Commons licenses. This presentation will provide participants with an introduction to the core principles of Creative Commons; provide a brief overview of the various Creative Commons licenses and their conditions; demonstrate how to locate and use Web-based content governed by the licenses; and explain how and why individuals on campus should use Creative Commons licenses when displaying their own creative works on the Web.

Lunch 'n Learn presentation: The National Science Foundation has funded a multimillion-dollar Engineering Research Center based at Princeton University that is expected to revolutionize sensor technology, yielding devices that have a unique ability to detect minute amounts of chemicals found in the atmosphere, emitted from factories or exhaled in human breath. The speakers will talk about the work of the center and discuss an atmospheric field campaign in Beijing this summer. The summer field campaign was directed at monitoring air quality, clouds and precipitation during the 2008 Olympic games. Of particular importance are analyses of the impacts of pollution reduction strategies implemented for the Olympic Games. The center – dubbed MIRTHE, for Mid-Infrared Technologies for Health and the Environment – will combine the work of about 40 faculty members, 10 post-docs, 70 graduate students and 30 undergraduates from the six universities. The center also is collaborating with dozens of industrial partners to turn the technology into commercial products, and is working with several educational outreach partners, which will use MIRTHE’s research as a vehicle for improving science and engineering education. The goal of the research is to produce devices that are so low in cost and easy to use that they transform aspects of the way doctors care for patients, local agencies monitor air quality, governments guard against attack and scientists understand the evolution of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Bio: Claire Gmachl earned her M.Sc. in Physics from the University of Innsbruck in 1991. She went on to receive her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Vienna in 1995, graduating /sub auspiciis Praesidentis/ (with special honors by the president of the Austrian republic). Her studies focused on integrated optical modulators and tunable surface-emitting lasers in the near infrared. From 1996 to 1998, she was a Post-Doctoral Member of Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories. In 1998, she became a formal Member of Technical Staff at Bell Labs and in 2002 she was named a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff, in part due to her work on the development of the quantum cascade laser. In 2003, she left Bell Labs and took a position as Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University, where she is currently working. In 2004, Popular Science named Gmachl in its "Class of 2004 - Brilliant 10," its list of the 10 most promising scientists under 40. She went on, in September 2005, to win the MacArthur Foundation's "genius grant." Recently, she was named the director of the new Mid-InfraRed Technologies for Health and the Environment (MIRTHE) Center, funded by the National Science Foundation. James A. Smith is MIRTHE deputy director and Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University. His research interests concern the hydrology, hydraulics and hydrometeorology of extreme floods. Hydrometeorological studies have centered on development of technologies for measuring rainfall from weather radar, stochastic modeling of the space-time structure of rainfall and microphysical studies of extreme rainfall from organized systems of thunderstorms. Smith's research group has been involved in numerous hydrometeorological field campaigns, most recently in connection with the Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES), a component of the NSF LTER program. Field studies in the BES have also examined the heterogeneity of hydrologic response in urbanizing watersheds, the stability of the channel-floodplain system in urban drainage networks and the hydraulics of extreme floods in urban rivers. In addition to field campaigns focused on intensively monitoring research watersheds, Smith and his colleagues have been extensively involved in field studies of major floods in the United States.

In 2008, this approach made near-perfect predictions of the electoral vote count and Senate and House outcomes. Lunch 'n Learn presentation: How we experience political races is dominated by opinion polls. Polling data can be confusing because of their sheer number. In 2008, hundreds of polls were released during the Presidential campaign. Is there a way to cut through the resulting noise? Four years ago Dr. Wang devised a statistical approach to analyze state polls to get a single, easy-to-understand snapshot of the race, viewed from the point of view of the Electoral College. In 2008, this approach made near-perfect predictions of the electoral vote count as well as Senate and House outcomes. Meta-analysis of polls also allowed the horserace to be tracked with high accuracy. Presidential races are stable most of the time, with game-changing events happening only once a month on average. Dr. Wang will show which events helped Barack Obama and John McCain - and which did not.

This talk presents both the library and publisher perspectives. Lunch 'n Learn presentation: When e-books began to appear in the early 2000’s, there was speculation about the demise of the printed book. While that clearly did not come to pass, e-books did become a staple of the reference holdings of many libraries. Since then, both the library and consumer markets have matured, and despite all predictions and speculations, at Princeton University Library, print books and e-books have continued to co-exist quite nicely. Princeton University Press feels that this is the time to step into electronic publishing in a significant way. Therefore, they’ve embarked on a digital publishing initiative to make a substantial amount of their print content available in a variety of electronic formats for distribution into the library and consumer markets. This panel will present both the library and publisher perspectives: Princeton University Library’s selection process for e-books, and the usage patterns at the University that reveal what readers in an academic environment like and don’t like about e-books; and Princeton University Press’s rationale for making certain content available to both the library and consumer markets, including a discussion of their recent launch with books for sale on the Amazon Kindle reading device.

Lunch 'n Learn presentation: The vast print and online resources of the Princeton University Library can be a bit overwhelming to both nascent and seasoned scholars. Most scholars and researchers are so busy with their daily responsibilities that there’s little opportunity for exploration and staying current with new technologies and resources. In this talk, Steven Adams, the Biological and Life Sciences Librarian and Interim Psychology Librarian, will show you how to establish a system that watches over your research interests and brings interesting material directly to you in ways that are easy to process and digest. Steven will focus on several time-saving library research tools that will transform the way you search the literature. Most notably, Steven will officially launch the LibX PUL toolbar, an amazing browser plug-in that amalgamates several databases and library systems to make the research process more efficient.

Doug Dixon explores this messy world of consumer electronics, looking at developing trends, new technologies, and colliding markets. Lunch 'n Learn presentation: Gadget nirvana -- or device hell? Doug Dixon explores this messy world of consumer electronics, looking at developing trends, new technologies, and colliding markets: - Connected home: Purchased content is becoming less encumbered, with DRM-free MP3 downloads and managed transfers within the connected home. But do you really want TV on your PC, or PC features on your TV? And who will control the box that bridges the two worlds, the cable company or Apple TV? - Digital TV: Flat-screen TVs are hot with consumers, and have finally reached "Full HD" resolution. But there's still major improvements coming in size, design, picture quality, and connectivity -- as well as the new OLED displays. Or is the future in mobile TV on smaller screens? - Mobile media: Portable media players add video and connectivity, while mobile phones add media and Internet playback, both overlapping further with Internet radio, streaming video, and Web access. And both do GPS, while GPS navigators add media and hands-free phone. Now you can watch TV while reading the live map, and talking on the phone. - Cameras: The picture phone is becoming the dominant imaging device. But still cameras shoot better photos plus reasonable video, and video camcorders shoot HD video and great stills. We'll all be recording and recorded, especially as today's memory-based HD camcorders shrink to the size of a soda can. - Portable storage: Storage outstrips Moore's Law, with continued re-doubling of capacity and shrinking size, with solid-state drives (SSD) starting to make sense for laptops. Yet sneakernet still lives, both for sharing, and for moving content within the home. - Wireless: There's Wi-Fi and WiMAX to the home and neighborhood, wireless mobile Internet to the PC, wireless HD video to the TV, wireless USB to devices, and even wireless power for recharging. Or you can just network over the existing power line. Or can a simple approach like Bluetooth continue to develop to really enable computers, players, phones, and headsets to share phone calls, stereo music, and controls through the air?

This talk introduces briefly the Avkat Archaeological Survey, a collaborative research project in north-central Anatolia which seeks to integrate a number of different approaches to studying the past, using recent technological advances to integrate disparate datasets into a cohesive framework of analysis. From the 1980s, there has been continued development of methodologies of archaeological field survey, as well as remote sensing techniques ranging from ground-penetrating radar to airborne radar systems and satellite imagery. However, the integration of these techniques into a unified project design has rarely been achieved and all too often they are bolted onto an existing project design. In part this is because of the technical difficulties of integrating datasets, but the development of GIS has now reached a point where such complex problems are more easily handled. At the same time, GIS has rarely been used to its full potential in archaeological research. This project seeks to integrate traditional archaeological survey work with other disciplines into a 100% digital project, developing the use of GIS to enhance our understanding of the past and incorporating large datasets both of traditional archaeological nature, as well as non-archaeological such as large volumes of text, climatic and palynological data, and vegetational and geological classifications derived from multispectral satellite imagery.

How might we use complexity and rapid change to advantage? The rapid evolution of languages, tools, environments, and expectations presents major challenges and opportunities for programmers and for software engineering education. This is true across all kinds of programming, but is especially so for Web systems, which are now routinely written in untyped scripting languages and include Ajax, mashups, toolkits, frameworks like Rails and Django, and a profusion of interfaces, all operating asynchronously on distributed systems.

The keynote address will be delivered by José Huizar, a Princeton trustee and graduate alumnus who is the first Latino immigrant to serve as a member of the Los Angeles City Council. The event will include the presentation of awards to essay, poster and video contest winners in grades 4 through 12 from area schools, who submitted entries reflecting their views on how King might have participated in today's immigration debate. In addition, the University will present the MLK Day Journey Award, recognizing a member of the Princeton faculty, staff or student body who best represents King's continued journey. The event also will include a performance by the CASYM Steel Orchestra of New York. Huizar earned his master's in public affairs and urban and regional planning from Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1994. He was named to the University's Board of Trustees in 2005, the same year he was elected to the Los Angeles City Council. As a City Council member, Huizar's focus has included enhancing public safety, strengthening education and youth programs, and building more affordable housing and public transportation. Previously, Huizar served two terms as president of the board of education for the Los Angeles Unified School District. During his tenure, he oversaw plans to build more than 160 new schools within eight years, the largest school construction program in the nation's history. He also led a successful effort to reform the high school curriculum to ensure that all students, regardless of their backgrounds, will complete courses required for admission to one of California's public universities. Huizar, who was born in Zacatecas, Mexico, and raised in Los Angeles, has received numerous awards and distinctions, including being named one of the 100 most influential Hispanics in America by Hispanic Business magazine. He previously served as a deputy city attorney in the Real Estate and Environmental Division of the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office and as an associate with several private law firms. The event is convened by the University's Martin Luther King Day Committee and is coordinated by the Office of Communications and the Office of the Vice Provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity. http://coblitz.codeen.org:3125/www.princeton.edu/webmedia/podcast/20080121_mlk_celebration.mp4 Mon, 21 Jan 2008 13:00:00 -0500 Higher Education no 01:21:01 education, princeton, college, university, lecture, public, new jersey, martin luther king, huizar, celebration Princeton University The theme of this year's program is immigration, a hotly debated topic today that is relevant to King given his concern for humanity.

History and wealth structure the ethics. The economics of climate change must, therefore, point to effective, efficient, and ethical, as well as collaborative, policy responses. This lecture will follow this analysis and describe a possible global deal or framework and how it might be built. Lord Stern is I.G. Patel Professor of Economics and Government and heads a new India Observatory within the London School of Economics Asia Research Centre. He has been an adviser to the U.K. government on the economics of climate change and development, reporting to the prime minister from 2003-2007; author of the Stern Review Report on the Economics of Climate Change; and the head of the government economic service. From 2003-2005, he was second permanent secretary to the Treasury and from 2004-2005, director of policy and research for the prime minister's commission for Africa. He has also served as World Bank chief economist and senior vice president, development economics. In addition he has been the chief economist and special counsellor to the president at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. His most recent book on development, Growth and Empowerment: Making Development Happen, was published in April 2005. The Stern Review Report on the Economics of Climate Change was published in October 2006 (http://www.sternreview.org.uk), and in printed form by Cambridge University Press in January 2007.

History and wealth structure the ethics. The economics of climate change must, therefore, point to effective, efficient, and ethical, as well as collaborative, policy responses. This lecture will follow this analysis and describe a possible global deal or framework and how it might be built. Lord Stern is I.G. Patel Professor of Economics and Government and heads a new India Observatory within the London School of Economics Asia Research Centre. He has been an adviser to the U.K. government on the economics of climate change and development, reporting to the prime minister from 2003-2007; author of the Stern Review Report on the Economics of Climate Change; and the head of the government economic service. From 2003-2005, he was second permanent secretary to the Treasury and from 2004-2005, director of policy and research for the prime minister's commission for Africa. He has also served as World Bank chief economist and senior vice president, development economics. In addition he has been the chief economist and special counsellor to the president at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. His most recent book on development, Growth and Empowerment: Making Development Happen, was published in April 2005.

Lunch 'n Learn presentation: RSS (Really Simple Syndication) technology enables anyone to "subscribe" to content on a website and have updates "pushed" to their desktops or online feed readers automatically; it’s like Tivo, but for the Internet. ATOM/RSS feeds are most often used on sites with frequently updated content (e.g., blogs, news sites, scholarly journals, etc.). This underutilized knowledge discovery tool will transform the way you work and play on the web. This session will provide a basic overview of how RSS feeds work, review several methods of subscribing to web feeds, demonstrate how RSS feeds can be used to help scholars remain current in their fields, and share a few favorite sites that utilize this technology.

Eternity was an ineffable mystery, to be sure, but of no less value in human interaction than money itself, or crowns and thrones. In our own day, however, eternity seems a purely abstract concept best left in the hands of astrophysicists, a frightfully uncertain horizon divorced from daily life. How was it that eternity emerged in the West as something more than a mere concept? How was it that it ceased to function as an organizing principle for daily life? What difference does this history make? That is the subject of these lectures. More specifically, these lectures will explore how a transcendent higher reality has been conceived in the West, and how such conceptions relate to social, political, and economic realities. Lecture 3: "From Eternity to Five-Year Plans" will focus on the ways in which the Christian West came to rid itself of eternity, and on the social, political, and economic effects of this reordering of the cosmos. In closing, some meditations will be offered on highly ironic parallels between what has been discarded and current scientific theories of time and eternity.

Some 450 years later, the church taught that the far greater part of humanity was eternally condemned. The early community began by preserving the memory and the message of Jesus; within decades of his death, some Christians asserted that Jesus had never had a fleshly human body at all. The church that insisted that Jewish scriptures were Christian scriptures also insisted that the god who said "Be fruitful and multiply" actually meant, "Be sexually continent." Some four centuries after Paul's death, his conviction that "All Israel will be saved" served to support the Christian conviction that the Jews were damned. What accounts for the great variety of these and other ancient Christian teachings? The short answer is the following: dramatic mutations in ancient Christian ideas about sin. In the gospels, sin's remedy is repentance, immersions, prayer, and sacrifice—we are still in the world of Late Second Temple Judaism. In Augustine's writings, only God is sin's remedy. People can repent, but God alone decides whose repentance to accept. And between these two extremes we see "sin" invoked as a way to account for an astounding range of things, from the physical structure of the universe to the grammatical structure of a sentence. These three lectures provide an aerial survey of the vibrant vitality of the idea of sin in the first Christian centuries. Come see how an impulsive bite of fruit came to explain absolutely everything else, from the death of God's son to the power politics of the empire that eventually worshiped him.

Yet prayer is poorly understood. Conceived as a private act, its social and cultural dimensions are particularly neglected. Regarded as a tool for health and happiness, prayer is also shaped increasingly by popular writers, the media, and even by scholars claiming to study it scientifically. This symposium brings together a panel of scholars and practitioners to discuss the historical, cultural, social, and religious aspects of prayer and to consider its changing meanings and implications.

He is founder and president of Exploration Specialists an international geophysical and exploration company. For the last 26 years he has managed geophysical oil and gas exploration and development projects in many of the most remote, dangerous and politically and technically challenging areas on earth, and has explored throughout North and South America, Africa, and the former Soviet Union. For over 20 years Pasquale has been extremely active in high altitude mountaineering and has been the leader of numerous expeditions to major mountains worldwide including three expeditions to Everest. In 1998 he reached the summit of Mt. Everest and in 2001 he conceived, organized, and led the National Federation of the Blind NFB 2001 Everest Expedition, in which blind climber Erik Weihenmayer reached the summit. Pasquale has multiple descents of major world-class rivers including the Bio Bio in Chile, rivers throughout North America, the Omo and Zambezi in Africa. From November 2003 to April 2004 he organized and led the historic 114-day Nile First Descent Expedition, the first complete descent of the Blue Nile and Nile River from its source high in the mountains of Ethiopia to the Mediterranean Sea, a distance of 3,260 miles. He has filmed rafting and mountaineering projects for ESPN, PBS, Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, and OrbitaMax.

I shall use the rhetorical device of a computer-simulated lecture demonstration (a cartoon version of recent experiments in Vienna) to explain both the appeal of Einstein's criticism and the remarkable fact that the "reality" he insisted upon is nevertheless impossible. I will assume no background in quantum physics (or any other physics) but late in the lecture, in convincing you of the impossibility of Einstein's vision, I will ask you to engage in a kind of reasoning not unlike a (very easy) Sudoku puzzle.

The potential of human embryonic stem cells for understanding human development and finding new therapies will be presented. Dr. Melton is a cell and molecular biologist as well as an advocate of embryonic stem cell research. His research focuses on the developmental biology of the pancreas. One of the primary goals of his work is to understand how human embryonic stem cells differentiate into pancreatic beta (insulin-producing) cells. An understanding of this process has implications for the treatment of type 1 diabetes, and a major limitation on research has been the number and quality of available human embryonic stem cell lines. Through private funding from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and a partnership between the institute, Harvard, and the Boston In Vitro Fertility Clinic, Melton and his colleagues have been able to develop additional embryonic stem cell lines. Melton has testified in Congress against current restrictions on the use of federal funds to support human embryonic stem cell research. He is also working on a method of producing stem cells that does not require human embryos, thereby avoiding some of the controversy in the stem cell debate.

First proposed by Alan B. Krueger, the Lynn Bendheim Thoman, Class of 1976, and Robert Bendheim, Class of 1937, Professor in Economics and Public Policy, the lectures are presented three times a year and are open to the public. Past lectures have addressed a wide variety of topics, from “Jane Austen and War” to “How Bacteria Talk to Each Other.” http://coblitz.codeen.org:3125/www.princeton.edu/webmedia/podcast/20070405moravcsik.mp3 Thu, 05 Apr 2007 21:00:00 -0400 Higher Education no 01:19:58 education, princeton, college, university, lecture, public, new jersey, andrew moravcsik, politics, democracy, deficit Princeton University In 1956 the Dutch graphic artist M. C. Escher made an unusual lithograph with the title "Print Gallery." It shows a young man viewing a print in an exhibition gallery. Among the buidlings depicted on the print, he sees paradoxically the very same gallery that he is standing in. A lot is known about the way in which Escher made his lithograph. It is not nearly as well known that it contains a hidden "Droste effect," or infinite repetition; but this is brought to light by a mathematical analysis of the studies used by Escher. On the basis of this discovery, a team of mathematicians at Leiden produced a series of hallucinating computer animations. These show, among other things, what happens inside the mysterious spot in the middle of the lithograph that Escher left blank. http://coblitz.codeen.org:3125/www.princeton.edu/webmedia/podcast/20070403lenstra.mp3 Tue, 03 Apr 2007 21:00:00 -0400 Higher Education no 01:08:38 education, princeton, college, university, lecture, public, new jersey, hendrik lenstra, leiden, escher, droste Princeton University James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions http://coblitz.codeen.org:3125/www.princeton.edu/webmedia/podcast/20070329felzenberg.mp3 Thu, 29 Mar 2007 21:00:00 -0400 Higher Education no 01:17:38 education, princeton, college, university, lecture, public, new jersey, alvin felzenberg, pennsylvania, presidents Princeton University Lunch 'n Learn presentation http://coblitz.codeen.org:3125/www.princeton.edu/as/LNL/presentations/spring2007/LnL032807GeometryMusic.mp3 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 13:00:00 -0400 Higher Education no 01:11:59 education, princeton, college, university, lecture, public, new jersey, dimitri tymoczko, geometry and music, science magazine Princeton University Lunch 'n Learn presentation http://coblitz.codeen.org:3125/www.princeton.edu/as/LNL/presentations/spring2007/LnL031407Nanotechnology.mp3 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 13:00:00 -0400 Higher Education no 00:59:24 education, princeton, college, university, lecture, public, new jersey, wole soboyejo, nanotechnology, U.S./Africa Materials Institute, USAMI Princeton University Marci A.

Connelly draws upon images from vase painting, portrait sculpture, votive reliefs, and funerary monuments to bring to life the movement of women within ritual space. Considering this material in the context of what we know from texts and inscriptions, she argues a wider visibility for women across the polis landscape than has previously been acknowledged. Connelly investigates the ways in which portrait statues and architectural sculpture, including karyatids and figured column drums, may reflect the ritual circulation of women in procession and dance across the sacred temenos. We may thus envision the living sanctuary and the relationships of topography, image, and ritual action within this space.
