Javier Saade serves on several boards, is venture partner at Fenway Summer and is a senior advisor at FS Vector, Fenway Summers advisory affiliate. Previously, he was associate administrator and chief of investment and innovation at SBA.

The last two decades have ushered in significant change and transformation. I believe the 2020s will be dispositive in redefining the pillars of our economy, and COVID-19 magnifies this greatly. As of this writing there are 3,611,394 confirmed cases, and the U.S. accounts for 33% of those. We are now dealing with a 4.8% Q1 GDP contraction and expectations for Q2s shrinking runs into the 25% range, more than 30 million unemployed and a $7 trillion federal intervention in a span of six weeks.

Eric Schmidt recently predicted that the coronavirus pandemic is strengthening big tech. It is hard to disagree with him; it almost feels obvious. Big tech and other digital companies are net beneficiaries of new habits and behaviors. Some of this shift will be permanent, and well-capitalized tech companies are likely to expand their power by grabbing talent and buying companies for their IP then dissolving them.

With power comes political backlash and public wariness. One flavor of that counter pressure is already in full effect. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have proposed new legislation that seeks to curtail acquisition activity via the Pandemic Anti-Monopoly Act. Ill reserve judgment on their effort, but the theme is familiar: the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker, which further widens gaps and calcifies disparity.

The COVID-19 shock is highlighting a chasm that has evolved over decades. The digital divide, lack of capital access, sporadic paths to education and microscopic levels of wealth accumulation in communities of color and the implicit/explicit bias against non-coastal elites are some contributing factors.

During the 2008 crisis, the combined value of the five biggest companies ExxonMobil, General Electric, Microsoft, AT&T and Procter & Gamble was $1.6 trillion. Microsoft is worth almost that today all by itself. No need to talk about FAANG, because since the pandemics economic halt, Peloton downloads went up five-fold in a month, Zoom grew to 200 million users from 10 million in December and Instacart users grew six times in that period.

Roelof Botha of Sequoia Capital was recently quoted as saying, Like the killing off of the dinosaurs, this reorders who gets to survive in the new era. It is the shock that accelerates the future that Silicon Valley has been building. It is hard to argue with his views.

To be clear, I am a beneficiary of and a big believer in technology. Throughout my career I have managed it, invested in it and made policy on it. For example, one of the multi-billion-dollar programs I oversaw, the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, has invested more than $50 billion in tens of thousands of startups, which have collectively issued 70,000 patents and raised hundreds of billions of capital and 700 of them have gone public, including tech titans such as Qualcomm, Biogen and Symantec.

My point: I think about technology a lot, and, lately, about its repercussions. There is a massive shift afoot where more power and influence will be consolidated by these remarkable companies and their technology. Besides the economic consequences of the strong crushing the weak, there are serious ethical issues to consider as a society. Chamath Palihapitiya has been pretty vocal about the moral hazard of what is essentially a massive transfer of wealth and income. On one side you have mismanaged and/or myopic corporations and on the other, the counterparty is the American people and the money we need to print to bankroll the lifeline. I am not talking about Main Street here, by the way.

It is not hard to imagine a world in which tech alone reigns supreme. The ethical dilemmas of this are vast. A recent documentary, Do You Trust this Computer, put a spotlight on a frantic Elon Musk ringing the alarm bell on machines potential to destroy humanity. Stephen Hawking argued that while artificial intelligence could provide society with outsized benefits, it also has the potential to spiral out of control and end the human race. Bill Gates has been less fatalistic, but is also in the camp of those concerned with synthetic intelligence. In an interesting parallel, Bill has for years been very vocal on the risks pandemics pose and our lack of preparedness for them indeed.

These three men have had a big impact on the world with and because of technology. Their deep concern is rooted in the fact that once the genie is out of the bottle, it will make and grant wishes to itself without regard to humanity. But, is this doomsday thinking? I dont know. What I do know is that I am not alone thinking about this. With COVID-19 as a backdrop, many people are.

Algorithmic sophistication and computer horsepower continue to evolve by leaps and bounds, and serious capital continues to be invested on these fronts. The number of transistors per chip has increased from thousands in the 1950s to over four billion today. A one-atom transistor is the physical boundary of Moores Law. Increasing the amount of information conveyed per unit, say with quantum computing, is the most realistic possibility of extending Moores Law, and with it the march toward intelligent machines and a tech first world. The march has been accelerated, even if peripherally, by the pandemic.

While the promise of technology-driven progress is massive, there are some serious societal costs to exponential discovery and unleashed capability acceleration. Dartmouths Dr. James Moor, a notable thinker at the intersection of ethics and technology, believes that the use and development of technologies are most important when technologies have transformative effects on societies. He stipulates that as the impact of technology grows, the volume and complexity of ethical issues surrounding it increases. This is not only because more people are touched by these innovations, they are. It is because transformative technology increases pathways of action that outstrip governance systems and ethical constructs to tame it.

So what? The twists and turns of technology application lead to consequences, sometimes unknowable and for that reason we should be increasingly vigilant. Did Zuckerberg ever imagine that his invention would have been so central to the outcome of the 2016 election? Unknowable consequences, exhibit one. Interconnected systems touch every aspect of society, from digital terrorism to bioengineering to brain hacking and neural cryonics to swarm warfare, digital assets, intelligent weapons, trillions of IoT connected devices the list goes on.

As a society, we should be open to innovation and the benefits it ushers in. At the same time, we must also remain committed to sustainable tech development and a deployment mechanism that does not fail to shine a light on human dignity, economic inequality and broad inclusiveness. These seem like esoteric issues, but they are not, and they are being put to the test by COVID-19.

A fresh example of this thematic happened recently: Tim Bray, a VP and engineer at Amazons AWS, resigned because of the companys treatment of employees, and was quoted as saying, in part, Amazon treats the humans in the warehouses as fungible units of pick-and-pack potential. Only thats not just Amazon, its how 21st-century capitalism is done If we dont like certain things Amazon is doing, we need to put legal guardrails in place to stop those things.

Eliminating human agency has been at the core of innovation during the last four decades. Less human intervention in a call center, a hedge fund trading desk, a factory, a checkout line or a motor vehicle seems fine but in cases of greater importance, humans should remain more active or we will, at best, make ourselves irrelevant. In the past, labor displacement has been temporary, but it seems to me that the next wave is likely to be different in terms of the permanence of labor allocation, and big tech getting bigger will likely hasten this.

Innovative capability has been at the center of progress and living standard improvements since we harnessed fire. The worlds technology portfolio is an exciting one, but potentially terrifying to those who could be more hampered by it, such as the front-line workers on Main Street shouldering the health and economic brunt of the coronavirus.

Years ago, Peter Drucker pointed out that technology has transformed from servant to master throughout our history. Regarding the assembly line, he noted that it does not use the strengths of the human being but, instead, subordinated human strengths to the requirements of the machine.

In my opinion, Druckers quote is at the very core of our point in time, happening on a scale and speed that is hard to fathom and changing the digital divide amongst us into a digital canyon between us and technology.

NEW YORK The National Institutes of Health have started recruiting for a new study that aims to determine how many adults in the U.S. who have not had a confirmed infection with SARS-CoV-2 carry antibodies to the virus, indicating that they were previously infected.

The study, called "SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic Serosurvey and Blood Sampling," is conducted by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, with additional support from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences and the National Cancer Institute. The researchers plan to collect and analyze blood samples from up to 10,000 volunteers.

"This study will give us a clearer picture of the true magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States by telling us how many people in different communities have been infected without knowing it, because they had a very mild, undocumented illness or did not access testing while they were sick," said NIAID Director Anthony Fauci in a statement. "These crucial data will help us measure the impact of our public health efforts now and guide our COIVD-19 response moving forward."

The investigators plan to analyze blood samples for two types of antibodies, anti-SARS-CoV-2 S protein IgG and IgM, using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) developed at NIAID and NIBIB. Participants with positive test results may undergo additional tests to evaluate their immune response to the virus. The results may explain why these cases were less severe than those that resulted in hospitalization.

Healthy adults over the age of 18 from across the US who have no confirmed history of COVID-19 and have no current symptoms are eligible to participate and will be enrolled over the phone.

Study participants working at the NIH Bethesda campus will have their blood drawn at the NIH Clinical Center, while other volunteers will take their own blood samples at home, using at-home blood collection kits provided by Neoteryx, a medical device firm based in Torrance, California.

"Researchers have considerable experience using these at-home blood collection kits to track the spread of other infectious diseases like influenza, and this method is safe, effective and easy-to-use," said Kaitlyn Sadtler, study lead for laboratory testing and chief of NIBIB's section for immunoengineering, in a statement.

More information about the study is available here.

Dorms are empty and classroom lights are off at the vast majority of Americas colleges and universities, but that hasnt stopped many in academia from jumping in to help try to meet the massive need for innovative treatments, vaccines, personal protection equipment (PPE) and medical devices in the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Engineers, doctors, scientists, researchers, doctors, and college students across the country have quickly shifted gears and are applying their skills and knowledge to fighting the virus, which has infected more than a million people around the globe. The federal government and most states with stay-at-home orders have designated researchers focused on the outbreak as essential critical infrastructure workers, allowing them to continue working in labs and offices.

A number of schools, including Rice University, the University of Texas, the University of Illinois, and the University of Vermont, have been working on new ventilator designs, a critical need with shortages at many hospitals around the country. Faculty from the University of South Carolina, in collaboration with the medical nonprofit Prisma Health, developed an FDA-approved 3D- printed splitter device called the VESper that can treat two patients on one ventilator. And a team at University of California, Berkeley has modified sleep apnea machines so they can provide respiratory support for noncritical COVID-19 patients.

Given the rapid pace of innovation and, in some cases, the short time from inventors bench to hospital room, ensuring that devices are safe and reliable is a key issue for those on the front lines.

Researchers at academic institutions, non-traditional manufacturers, communities of makers, and individuals are banding together to support and fill local and national needs, an FDA spokesperson wrote in a statement to the PBS NewsHour. The goal [of the FDA] is to enable and empower people to make a positive impact in the ways they are able, while ensuring their efforts and outputs are safe.

The FDAs Center for Devices and Radiological Health the government agency tasked with regulating firms who manufacture medical devices sold in the U.S. is using Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) to determine if it is reasonable to believe that the [products] may be effective and that the known and potential benefits outweigh the known and potential risks. The FDA declined to disclose the number of EUA requests it has received in response to the COVID-19.

Here are three more ways universities are contributing to the global virus response.

In the dash to prevent needless deaths, some scientists have postponed or abandoned long-term projects to engage in new coronavirus work. Others, like Matt Whitehill, who is pursuing a doctorate at the University of Washington, have sped up existing projects that might eventually prove helpful. Whitehill and a team of fellow computer scientists and electrical engineering students, along with collaborators at Seattle Childrens Hospital and U.W. Medical Center, are working on a cough-detection app for smart mobile devices.

Cough-detection research at UW began in 2011. Different teams have chased the technology over the years, but Whitehill says there is now a sense of urgency to deploy it. The COVID-19 outbreak has really expedited some of our timelines because there is such a large need for this technology, Whitehill said.

The goal of the technology, part of a move toward remote patient monitoring (RPM) in health care, is to assist both patients and their medical providers monitor coughing while someone is recovering at home from COVID-19 or other diseases that cause coughing symptoms. The app relies on an algorithm Whitehill and his colleagues developed that can detect cough sounds amid other background noises such as conversations; those coughs are then recorded in the app or the device, and can be kept private or shared with others, including health care providers.

Whitehill says as health care facilities become overwhelmed, some patients are being sent home who would normally recover in the hospital. Health care providers or community organizations may want to have some insight into how those patients are doing when they go home, Whitehill said. Automated remote monitoring allows us to get an insight into whether that patients health condition is improving or deteriorating in an objectively reliable, real time way without needing to make contact with the subjects.

Other groups are also working on cough-detecting technology, but Whitehill says UWs app is unique because its aimed at providing a high level of accuracy and protecting user privacy. Only cough counts are recorded and the data is analyzed on the phone instead of a remote server. The research team is currently seeking volunteers to help improve the app by submitting cough sounds and other vocalizations.

The technology can only monitor cough counts, but Whitehill says eventually he hopes to be able to discriminate between cough types e.g. wet or dry. Because COVID-19 is associated with a dry cough, that kind of information could potentially help health care providers more accurately monitor the condition of COVID-19 patients.

Universities are also joining a number of companies and individual volunteers around the country who are developing new solutions for creating and ramping up production of PPE. Northwestern University, MIT, University of the New Hampshire and Michigan State University are among a number of schools that have started 3D-printed face shield projects.

Stanford University bioengineering associate professor Manu Prakash, whose work has long-focused on innovative, low-cost medical devices, is taking a different approach. In early March, he returned from a trip to Europe, where, he said, he had seen how the coronavirus was taking a toll. Prakash then started an open source project to modify full-face snorkel masks into reusable PPE for health care workers.

I was highly concerned about what was going to happen in the PPE context in the U.S., Prakash said. I love diving and I have had a snorkel mask for a long while. So that was the starting point.

Working with a number of collaborators, including Boston Scientific, Medtronics and the University of Utah, Prakashs team developed a 3D-printed filter and injection molded attachment that can be connected to the masks air-intake tube, which is aimed back and away from the face. In their initial design, the team used FDA-approved medical-grade filters that are used in various applications around hospitals but not currently for PPE; recently theyve begun testing other types of filtration systems, including HEPA filters used for industrial purposes.

Prakash says the design, which incorporates a face shield and a respirator in one device, could be helpful to health care workers who typically use separate face shields and masks, if the supplies are available. Face mask shortages have become a widespread problem for health care workers around the country.

Its a very technical challenge because youre talking about [containing] aerosolized droplets that are 300 nanometers (0.3 microns) or smaller, said Prakash, referring to the imperceptible spray of saliva that can come out of someones mouth or nose. Frugal science in this context is about coming up with ways to do things quickly, but still having the highest level of safety standards. You have to be extremely serious about really looking critically at the sets of solutions.

Everyone has a shot of making a contribution, and universities are often where it starts.

In addition to cost, one of the key goals of the project is to ensure the modified snorkel-masks can be reused multiple times safely. Prakash says in the past, more medical products, like elastomeric respirators, were made to be reused over and over again with proper cleaning and decontamination. But our disposable culture has led to more single-use products like N95 masks, and now medical professionals are confronted with the fact that there just arent enough disposable supplies to go around.

The research team has been submerging the masks in solutions of bleach and exposing them to heat, among other approved sterilization methods. Prakash says testing has shown the masks survive common decontamination protocols.

The masks, which have been submitted to the FDA for emergency use authorization, are currently undergoing clinical testing in three hospitals. The team is also shipping 100 more to clinicians for pilot testing and another 1,000 to health care workers around the country who are in urgent need.

The innovation that arguably could have the largest influence on the global COVID-19 response is the development of a vaccine. Of the nearly 80 vaccine candidates now in the works, most are being developed from pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. and abroad. But researchers in academia are also involved in the effort, often building on previous vaccine research. Thats the case for a team at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine that worked on vaccines for SARS in 2003 and MERS in 2014; both viruses are closely related to the current coronavirus. Earlier this month, they announced an early-stage vaccine candidate called PittCoVacc in a peer-reviewed paper published by The Lancet. The team is also testing an innovative delivery system for that vaccine: a small patch made with 400 tiny needles made out of dissolvable sugars which are saturated with the vaccine.

Dr. Louis Falo, who developed the patch, says one of the benefits of the technology is it doesnt have to be refrigerated. Most vaccines have to be refrigerated from when theyre made, all the way until they are in the patient, Falo said. For underdeveloped countries and global vaccination programs, thats an obstacle. Its really expensive and some places arent even equipped with refrigeration. The patches are very stable at room temperature and I think thats a big plus.

Harvard University public health professor Dr. Barry Bloom, who is not involved in current vaccine research but has been tracking developments, cautions against latching on to any one vaccine candidate or delivery system at this point.

But he says increased collaboration and the speed at which results are now being shared in the scientific world is unprecedented. The diversity of vaccine candidates and other innovations is really exciting, said Dr. Bloom. Everyone has a shot of making a contribution, and universities are often where it starts.

How universities are developing COVID-19 solutions in real time - PBS NewsHour

Universities are right on the frontline in the battle against coronavirus. Theyre loaning the NHS vital medical equipment and facilities, using 3D printers to produce personal protective equipment, researching potential vaccines, and boosting the NHS workforce with fast-tracked medical students and healthcare academics. But these arent the only ways theyre contributing. Here are a few of the unexpected ways in which universities are using their research and resources to improve peoples lives.

The lack of ventilators is one of the biggest challenges facing the health system during the coronavirus epidemic. But not all patients need a ventilator some can be treated with a breathing aid. University College Londons (UCL) engineering academics have collaborated with Formula One to rapidly develop a device that means ventilators can be saved for those who need them most.

A University of Cambridge team has developed a new test which can diagnose coronavirus in under 90 minutes by identifying traces of the virus genetic material. As well as enabling patients to be quickly triaged, the test can determine which healthcare workers have already been infected. Its currently being rolled out at hospitals in Cambridge before it is launched across the UK.

Worried that youve got coronavirus? Theres an app for that. Developed by researchers at Kings College London, the app asks participants to fill in some of their personal and medical data, then take one minute a day to report on whether they feel healthy and, if not, to answer questions on a wide range of symptoms, from coughs and fever to fatigue, diarrhoea and confusion. The goal is to inform the public as well as provide real-time information on the spread of the illness across the UK.

The coronavirus crisis is likely to put considerable strain on everyones mental health, but the pressure will be even more severe on frontline NHS workers. To tackle this, psychologists at the University of Liverpool have developed targeted mental health resources based on their work with people who have worked in high-stakes situations such as earthquakes, terror attacks and war zones.

The newly created hospital, NHS Nightingale, is located out in east Londons docklands, right next to a University of East London campus. Thats why the university is making its student halls available free of charge to healthcare workers deployed there.

Bristol Robotics Laboratory, the UKs biggest robotics centre, is usually the place scientists go to ponder the complex questions behind bioengineering. But its now deploying its two-wheeled video-conferencing robot to give people real-time art exhibition tours at Hastings Contemporary, an art gallery thats been closed due to coronavirus.

While the public health emergency is what matters most, coronavirus will also have a serious impact on businesses. Teesside University has collaborated with the Tees Valley mayor and the local authority to shore up businesses and help them survive the crisis. The university is helping local businesses shift online as well as providing support to budding digital entrepreneurs.

The lack of protective gear for NHS staff has been widely reported. Thats why staff at the Sir John Cass School of Art, Architecture and Design at London Met have sewn nearly 500 face masks over the past week to be used wherever theyre needed most, from maternity wards in hospitals to homeless shelters. The masks are made following NHS guidelines, and the staff plan to tap into the local sewing community to make hundreds more.

Sitting at home isnt where youd expect to enjoy world-class performing arts, but the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS) is aiming to shift people stuck at home away from Netflix and towards something more highbrow. Digital platform RCSatHome is offering lunchtime concerts, talks and performances from its staff, students and alumni on demand. The platform will also shortly host a new original musical written and produced by RCS students.

Two vertical farms experimenting with producing bigger, higher quality crops have been based in converted shipping containers at Nottingham Trent University for the past year. Since the outbreak of Covid-19, theyve had a new purpose: the university is boxing up pak choi, spinach, Swiss chard, lettuce, coriander and basil to provide to homeless people.

Symptom-trackers and doctor dorms: how universities are fighting Covid-19 - The Guardian

ALung Technologies has a device called the Hemolung Respiratory Assist System that has been getting widespread attention lately as desperate physicians search for ways to treat COVID-19 patients.

The onslaught of coronavirus has created a national ventilator shortage, as patients rely on them in life-threatening situations to blow oxygen into the lungs while removing carbon dioxide.

Hemolung is designed to keep people off ventilators as much as possible. It removes carbon dioxide directly from the blood, like a dialysis machine does for kidneys, and delivers oxygen directly to the blood. It was created to help COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) patients.

Its currently in clinical trials in the U.S., where it has been used in 36 hospitals, and approved for use in Europe, where it has been used in 32 hospitals in the UK with thousands of patients.

In the U.S., by the way, its been used on a compassionate-use basis, an emergency-use basis, as early as three to four years ago, says Hemolung inventor William Federspiel, co-founder of ALung and professor of bioengineering at Pitts Swanson School of Engineering It was actually done here in Pittsburgh. At UPMC Presbyterian hospital.

It can be an alternative or supplement to ventilators, depending on the patients condition, he notes.

It definitely could be used to treat these COVID-19 patients, says Federspiel. But its important to point out that its not going to be an answer to the ventilator shortage. Its been a challenge to ramp up the production of ventilators. Ford and GM have gotten involved and its still a rough path.

Ventilators can cause damage to the lungs. Hemolung avoids this and doesnt require intubation or sedation, so patients can remain responsive and mobile during treatment.

The company is trying to get approval from the FDA to use the Hemolung under Emergency Use Authorization, says Federspiel. Theyre trying to get that, and then they could treat COVID patients. We hope it will keep them from having to go on mechanical ventilation.

They would be able to be awake, not sedated, could move around, talk and eat. Its a very different patient experience on the Hemolung.

ALung is based in the South Side and employs 33 people.

Scientists race against time to tame pandemic - The Standard

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread to almost all countries around the world, with the number of cases increasing by a bigger margin. Currently, the total number of cases in India has gone up to 753, with 20 deaths reported as per Worldometer. In these testing times, many IITs across India are working on different ways to tackle the virus from developing sanitisers to finding a cure.

A team of researchers at IIT Guwahati, led by Professor Sachin Kumar, Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, are working towards developing a vaccine, along with developing rapid detection and portable diagnostic kits for different types of viruses and microorganisms.

The team consists of PhD students, MTech students, Junior Research Fellows and Post Doctoral Fellows. Recently, the team had developed a vaccine against Japanese encephalitis and classical swine fever virus, and their research was published in the journals Vaccine and Archives of Virology, respectively. The researchers are trying to learn if they can use the same tool that they had developed for the encephalitis so that it could be used for COVID-19 as well.

And its not just the vaccine that they are working on, but they are also working to develop the first line of protection.

The institute, like many others, has already created hand sanitisers as prescribed by the WHO. These sanitisers are distributed to everyone on the campus, including visitors.

India still has long way to go when it comes to fighting the pandemic, but the consistent research efforts by the many institutions give hope to the cause.

Palouse Conservation District details restoration techniques, need for stream complexity

Palouse Conservation District coordinator, Randy Stevens talks about his plan to design a better structural element in streams on Wednesday at Paradise Creek Brewery.

Palouse Conservation District coordinator, Randy Stevens talks about his plan to design a better structural element in streams on Wednesday at Paradise Creek Brewery.

The Palouse Conservation District (PCD) held a presentation about stream structure on Wednesday in the Paradise Creek Brewery Trailside Taproom.

Randy Stevens, PCD conservation coordinator, said changing stream structure can produce diverse habitats, which can help address drought and flooding.

He said reshaping stream structure can restore riparian zones, which are areas near streams, to healthy conditions.

This can be done in various ways, one of which being streambank bioengineering, Stevens said. This process includes using live and dead plant materials with natural and synthetic support materials. Streambank bioengineering helps control the streams behavior.

Stevens said using post-assisted log structures (PALS) can also change stream structure. This is a type of restoration technique where wood debris is planted in the stream.

PALS creates more water flow and increases the flow of sediment deposits, he said. These structures also create areas for species like salmon to lay eggs and raise their young.

He said more logs in the stream means there is more chance for the streams structure to become more complex.

The more complexity a stream has, the healthier it is thought to be, Stevens said.

Complex structures help build more resilience in the streams environment, he said. Streams become more functional as well, meaning more species will be able to live in the streams.

Stevens said stream complexity can also create refuge for wildlife by developing restoration areas near the streams.

If a stream lacks structure, this means a stream has a smooth system and the water flows in a straight manner, he said. This can be problematic. For example, if a flood occurs, fish can be easily swept away.

Another method to alter stream structure is the use of beaver dam analogs (BDAs), which are human-made designs that imitate natural beaver dams, Stevens said. BDAs collect a lot of debris that travel downstream, expands riparian vegetation and can change ecosystems rapidly.

He said changing stream structures to a more complex system is important because it helps improve the overall function of a stream. This includes drought resistance and reducing the severity of fire.

This also helps keep the water in the stream, which is important for aquifer recharge for groundwater levels.

Complex stream structures also mitigate the effects of flooding, he said.

Streams give the water a place to go, slow it down, and reduce that kind of thing from happening, Stevens said.

Some of the issues streams face include lack of water storage, which increases the effects of droughts, Stevens said. Lack of vegetation in and around the streams, lack of habitat for wildlife, and increased water temperature negatively affect the overall health of the stream.

Alison Crowley, PCD education and outreach as well as a restoration technician and AmeriCorps intern, said the public should care about this issue because the local area is surrounded by agriculture. She said it is important for individuals to bridge the gap between environmental awareness and how people operate within the environment.

Theyre a part of the issue, and theyre a part of the solution, she said.

Crowley said the PCD holds conservation talk series every second Wednesday of each month where the PCD discusses conservation practices they support and implement. They also talk about conservation efforts PCD has conducted.

The next PCD conservation talk is on March 11 from 6-7 p.m. in the Paradise Creek Brewery Trailside Taproom. The PCD will talk about conservation and native plants.

Reshaping stream structure to improve habitats - The Daily Evergreen

A team of Stanford and Caltech scientists attached low-power microelectronics to the undersides of jellyfish to create biohybrid robots that swim three times as fast as normal ones.

The idea is to one day allow cyborg jellyfish, equipped with sensors, to explore the vast depths of our planets oceans rather than relying on unwieldy and inefficient submarines, Scientific American reports.

In a trial, the scientists were capable of using electrical jolts from microelectronic controllers to make jellyfish swim not only faster but also more efficiently,according to a paper published in Science Advances today.

Weve shown that theyre capable of moving much faster than they normally do, without an undue cost on their metabolism, said co-author and Stanford bioengineering PhD candidate Nicole Xu, in a statement.

This reveals that jellyfish possess an untapped ability for faster, more efficient swimming, Xu added. They just dont usually have a reason to do so.

Thanks to the simplicity of the design, the electronics use orders of magnitude less external power per mass than other aquatic robots, according to the paper.

The jellyfish cyborgs could revolutionize the way we explore the mysteries of the planets oceans. To do that, the researchers are already looking to take their project a step further by adding controls, using only a few modifications to the microelectronics.

If we can find a way to direct these jellyfish and also equip them with sensors to track things like ocean temperature, salinity, oxygen levels, and so on, we could create a truly global ocean network where each of the jellyfish robots costs a few dollars to instrument and feeds themselves energy from prey already in the ocean, said lead author and Caltech mechanical engineer John Dabiri.

Described by celebrities such as Stephen King and Don Winslow as "The Grapes of Wrath of Our Time," Jeanine Cummins' book about a mother and son fleeing from the persecution of a drug cartel in Mexico has caused a stir in the Latino community, not only because of the media attention it has received but because of what they claim is a clich-laden account of the immigrant experience that masks a "whitewashing" in the book industry as well.

With no intention of continuing feeding thecontroversythe editorial blurb, we've decided to highlightbooks written by Latino authors that together make up a wide and rich range of the sentiment and harsh stories about migrants arriving in the United States.

Between novels and hybrid essays that deserve our full attention, these are our top picks:

Signs That Precede the End of the World

The second novel by Mexican writer Yuri Herrera is a display of narrative virtuosity with a female protagonist, Makina, a Mexican telephone operator who must undertake a dangerous journey to the United States in search of her brother.

A novel that reflects very well the migrant experience and the harshness of the border police, as well as describesthe life and speech of the border people shown through nine mythological journeys. Without any doubt, a book to delve into a Mexico of legends and also great sorrows, full of emotion and a universe of its own.

The Devil's Highway

Written more than 16 years ago by renowned Chicano poet and writer Luis Alberto Urrea, "The Devil's Highway" has become a nonfiction classic. It tells the story of 26 Mexican men who, in 2001, crossed the border into the inhospitable Arizona desert area known as Devil's Highway, facing many dangers, including the border patrol (La Migra), armed guards, rattlesnakes and the harshness of a bipolar climate - intense cold at night and relentless sunshine during the day -Urrea goes beyond the clichs, and reflects the absurdity of walls and migration policies in a book thatis totally up-to-date.

Tears of the Truffle-pig

Born in Mexico but raised in Texas, Fernando Flores has turned out to be one of the strangest and most revealing new voices of the past year, as has his unusual new weird dystopia, "Tears of the truffle-pig." Imagine a parallel universe, a South Texas in a strange dimension where drug trafficking is completely legal, but there is new contraband: extinct animal species that are raised through bioengineering. A surreal and hypnotic story dotted with legends about tribes and the mysterious cult of a Truffle Pig that is said to possess strange powers. A delirious, twisted and bold vision of the border that shows how inhumane border policy has become.

Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza

A mixture of essay, autobiography, and poetry, this jewel of Chicano activist Gloria Anzalda is as mestizo as its title. An essential work to understand the complexity of Chicano identity and a twist to the discourses on gender. What makes us border subjects? How many borders besides the physical ones shape us? Indigenous woman, lesbian, border dweller, this book not only addresses cultural mestizaje from Anzalda's own experience but is an x-ray of this identity flow that often causes confusion and even isolation to Latinos born in the United States or those who have grown up in the country.

Four books about the immigrant experience which are not American Dirt - AL DIA News

No offense to the humble spoon (after all, this site is named after it), but its not as necessary for modern American diets than its pointier sibling, the fork.

And although theres been some innovation in terms of environmentally friendly disposable spoons in the form of Planeteers edible spoon, there are few options for plastic fork replacements that dont destroy the Earth. Startup TwentyFifty aims to change that with its fork, which founder Zack Kong, a bioengineering graduate from the University of California San Diego, said is the first compostable fork in the world thats similar in function to plastic and wooden forks.

The difference between TwentyFiftys technically edible products which currently include forks and spoons but will eventually encompass chopsticks, stirrers and straws is its patent-pending manufacturing process that compresses wheat flour, soy flour, corn flour and water into strong utensils that can withstand higher temperatures. Essentially, TwentyFiftys spoons wont melt soaking in a bowl of hot soup for 30 minutes. Due to the nature of the ingredients of the utensils, the company says they will break down in a backyard compost pile in as little as 10 to 30 days, while competing compostable products need to be broken down in industrial plants.

The other benefit of this product is not just the compostability, but its also an organic fertilizer, said Albert Liu, a TwentyFifty board member and business advisor. When these utensils compost, they add 2.7 cents worth of fertilizer to the soil. We use grains to make the utensils, then they go back into the earth to help grow more grains.

The big hurdle for the company now is cost, with retail price per utensil around 50 cents each, wholesale at 25 cents and bulk at 15 cents. Thats hugely expensive compared to plastic, which could be as cheap as pennies per utensil. TwentyFifty anticipates prices to drop to 5 to 10 cents as it scales up and automates its production line, which will allow it to produce 10,000 to 20,000 units a day.

TwentyFiftys target market isnt individual consumers, however, who could just use silverware. Rather, its aiming to partner with universities and municipalities. Liu said the company has a vendor agreement with UC San Diego, and has partnerships in place with Malibu, Santa Monica and San Francisco, which have all placed bans on single-use plastics. The utensils can also be found at a number of California cafes and yogurt shops.

Earlier this year, the New Food Economy found that so-called compostable bowls frequently used by Chipotle and Sweetgreen actually contained forever chemical PFAs, which as their name suggests, dont break down. Meanwhile, plastic pollution continues to be a global threat. So if TwentyFiftys utensils break down like the company claims, and more environmentally friendly alternatives become available, progress can be made toward preventing future waste.

POSTED WITH PERMISSION FROM GEORGIA TECH. ATLANTA (August 2, 2018) ... Implantation of a stent-like flow diverter can offer one option for less invasive treatment of brain aneurysms bulges in blood vessels but the procedure requires frequent monitoring while the vessels heal. Now, a multi-university research team has demonstrated proof-of-concept for a highly flexible and stretchable sensor that could be integrated with the flow diverter to monitor hemodynamics in a blood vessel without costly diagnostic procedures.The sensor, which uses capacitance changes to measure blood flow, could reduce the need for testing to monitor the flow through the diverter. Researchers, led by Georgia Tech, have shown that the sensor accurately measures fluid flow in animal blood vessels in vitro, and are working on the next challenge: wireless operation that could allow in vivo testing.The research was reported July 18 in the journal ACS Nano and was supported by multiple grants from Georgia Techs Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology, the University of Pittsburgh and the Korea Institute of Materials Science.The nanostructured sensor system could provide advantages for patients, including a less invasive aneurysm treatment and an active monitoring capability, said Woon-Hong Yeo, an assistant professor in Georgia Techs George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University. The integrated system could provide active monitoring of hemodynamics after surgery, allowing the doctor to follow up with quantitative measurement of how well the flow diverter is working in the treatment.Cerebral aneurysms occur in up to five percent of the population, with each aneurysm carrying a one percent risk per year of rupturing, noted Youngjae Chun, an associate professor in the Swanson School of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. Aneurysm rupture will cause death in up to half of affected patients.Endovascular therapy using platinum coils to fill the aneurysm sac has become the standard of care for most aneurysms, but recently a new endovascular approach a flow diverter has been developed to treat cerebral aneurysms. Flow diversion involves placing a porous stent across the neck of an aneurysm to redirect flow away from the sac, generating local blood clots within the sac.We have developed a highly stretchable, hyper-elastic flow diverter using a highly-porous thin film nitinol, Chun explained. None of the existing flow diverters, however, provide quantitative, real-time monitoring of hemodynamics within the sac of cerebral aneurysm. Through the collaboration with Dr. Yeo's group at Georgia Tech, we have developed a smart flow-diverter system that can actively monitor the flow alterations during and after surgery.Repairing the damaged artery takes months or even years, during which the flow diverter must be monitored using MRI and angiogram technology, which is costly and involves injection of a magnetic dye into the blood stream. Yeo and his colleagues hope their sensor could provide simpler monitoring in a doctors office using a wireless inductive coil to send electromagnetic energy through the sensor. By measuring how the energys resonant frequency changes as it passes through the sensor, the system could measure blood flow changes into the sac.We are trying to develop a batteryless, wireless device that is extremely stretchable and flexible that can be miniaturized enough to be routed through the tiny and complex blood vessels of the brain and then deployed without damage, said Yeo. Its a very challenging to insert such electronic system into the brains narrow and contoured blood vessels.The sensor uses a micro-membrane made of two metal layers surrounding a dielectric material, and wraps around the flow diverter. The device is just a few hundred nanometers thick, and is produced using nanofabrication and material transfer printing techniques, encapsulated in a soft elastomeric material.The membrane is deflected by the flow through the diverter, and depending on the strength of the flow, the velocity difference, the amount of deflection changes, Yeo explained. We measure the amount of deflection based on the capacitance change, because the capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance between two metal layers.Because the brains blood vessels are so small, the flow diverters can be no more than five to ten millimeters long and a few millimeters in diameter. That rules out the use of conventional sensors with rigid and bulky electronic circuits.Putting functional materials and circuits into something that size is pretty much impossible right now, Yeo said. What we are doing is very challenging based on conventional materials and design strategies.The researchers tested three materials for their sensors: gold, magnesium and the nickel-titanium alloy known as nitinol. All can be safely used in the body, but magnesium offers the potential to be dissolved into the bloodstream after it is no longer needed.The proof-of-principle sensor was connected to a guide wire in the in vitro testing, but Yeo and his colleagues are now working on a wireless version that could be implanted in a living animal model. While implantable sensors are being used clinically to monitor abdominal blood vessels, application in the brain creates significant challenges.The sensor has to be completely compressed for placement, so it must be capable of stretching 300 or 400 percent, said Yeo. The sensor structure has to be able to endure that kind of handling while being conformable and bending to fit inside the blood vessel.The research included multiple contributors from different institutions, including Connor Howe from Virginia Commonwealth University; Saswat Mishra and Yun-Soung Kim from Georgia Tech, Youngjae Chun, Yanfei Chen, Sang-Ho Ye and William Wagner from the University of Pittsburgh; Jae-Woong Jeong from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology; Hun-Soo Byun from Chonnam National University; and Jong-Hoon Kim from Washington State University.CITATION: Connor Howe, et. al., Stretchable, Implantable, Nanostructured Flow-Diverter System for Quantification of Intra-aneurysmal Hemodynamics (ACS Nano, 2018). http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.8b04689 ### A proof-of-concept flow sensor is shown here on a stent backbone.

Only a few weeks ago, Brandy Caldwell was finishing up her senior year at Bostons Brandeis University when she got the notice: The coronavirus was forcing a campus shutdown in two days.

For most students, that meant a hasty packing up and a quick car trip home to their parents. But for Caldwell, 22, it wasnt that easy.

I am a homeless college student. I went into foster care when I was 5 years old and aged out when I was 21, Caldwell said. Technically, I dont have a place to go. I have no permanent address. Where was I going to go?

From a public health perspective, the recent wave of short-notice college shutdowns may make sense. But for thousands of first-generation college-goers and there are far more of them than ever the closures of more than 200 schools across the U.S. present special emergencies. How do I pay for a plane ticket home? How will I replace the income from a campus work study program? If I cant afford to return to my four-year college, how will enrolling in a local community college affect my life plans?

The challenges appear serious enough to threaten the fragile progress the nation has made in recent years in getting more low-income students both enrolled in college and earning degrees progress I laid out in my recent book, The B.A. Breakthrough: How Ending Diploma Disparities Can Change the Face of America.

In that book I describe a college world foreign to most middle-class families, a world where students are one car repair away from dropping out. I tell the story of a student from a small high school in the South arriving at a chilly Pennsylvania campus without sufficient warm clothing. She became so isolated she didnt seek outside help and almost flunked out her first semester. Finally, the principal of her high school learned of her dilemma and bought her a warm coat and some long underwear.

How many fragile students are buffeted by sudden changes such as a campus shutdown? A 2018 report from Georgetown Universitys Center on Education and the Workforce concluded that 70% of full-time college students hold down jobs.

And the campus poverty level, which usually translates into worries about being able to afford meals, is far higher than most people imagine. A 2019 survey out of Temple University laid out the problem. An excerpt from that report:

During the 30 days preceding the survey, approximately 48% of students in two-year institutions who responded to the survey experienced food insecurity, with slightly more than 19% assessed at the low level and slightly more than 28% at the very low level of food security. Approximately 41% of students at four-year institutions who responded to the survey experienced food insecurity, with slightly less than 18% assessed at the low level and slightly less than 24% at the very low level of food security. More than half of survey respondents from two-year institutions and 44% of students from four-year institutions worried about running out of food. Nearly half of students could not afford to eat balanced meals.

For Caldwell, a graduate of a KIPP charter high school in Washington, D.C., the first worry was, Where do I go?

I called my KIPP Through College adviser, Caldwell said, and she told me to calm down, we can figure it out.

Like most top charter school organizations, KIPP maintains a staff that tracks their alumni in college. In KIPPs case, thats 15,000 students, almost all of them low-income and minority. Caldwells advisor, Kamilah Holder, advised her to ask Brandeis for the same accommodation afforded to international students: dorm space during the shutdown. Caldwell did, and that was granted.

With most of the Brandeis student cafeterias closed, the next worry was food. Caldwell also appealed to KIPP for grocery help.

As with other charter networks, KIPP does special fundraising for emergencies such as this. Within a few days, KIPP raised over $135,00 and started processing claims. So far, just under 200 grants have gone to network alums who have been dislocated due to college closings, with 40 percent of grants going to food, 25 percent to transportation, 25 percent to tech and course supplies and 6 percent to emergency housing. The average grant size: $245.42.

I got a response within 20 minutes, and 20 minutes after that I got money through PayPal, she said Kamilah is like my mom; I love her.

Gabriela Gabby Zorola graduated from an IDEA charter high school in Texass high-poverty Rio Grande Valley and improbably ended up at Bostons Northeastern University. They gave me the most financial aid money. The first time I ever saw the campus was at freshman orientation.

But she quickly adjusted to the campus, thanks mostly to the Latinx Student Culture Center she discovered. First came the announcement the university was shifting online; then came the shutdown notice: How to get home? It was horrible for me, Zorola said.

IDEA stepped in to pay the airfare, but her worries havent lessened. She chose a challenging major, bioengineering, and now she faces the prospect of taking physics online with uncertain outside help. What about labs? I know its going to be much harder.

In theory, she could transfer to nearby University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, but she was counting on the advantages offered by the prestigious Northeastern University. Aside from the schools reputation, the location is priceless. Boston is at the center of bioengineering. Boston has everything, right here.

Sancia Celestin, 21, whose family is Haitian, grew up in Virginias Hampton Roads area and ended up at George Mason University in northern Virginia. There, shes a senior and also serves as president of the campuss student group for first-generation college-goers. She is majoring in psychology and wants to work in education policy.

Celestins challenge is paying her share of an off-campus apartment. Her rent money came from a campus work study program in a testing center. When the campus shut down and shifted to online learning, her job evaporated. And while she has moved back home to Hampton Roads, she still owes rent and utilities. I dont have much choice other than paying it. She is asking the leasing agent for a grace period on rent.

Paulina Pereira Miranda, who graduated from an IDEA high school in Texas, never imagined shed attend school as far away as Kalamazoo College in Michigan, but thats where she ended up the result of a generous scholarship offer. Her biggest surprise about Kalamazoo: When she went to a Mexican restaurant there they served hard-shelled tacos that appeared to have come out of a box. No, those are like fake, she told her friends with a laugh.

Her mother is a house cleaner, her father a truck driver and she would be the first college graduate in her family. A freshman there, she was shocked by the sudden closure notice. I was scared. I didnt know what to do. Had IDEA not picked up her plane fare home, she guesses her father would have driven the roughly 1,273 miles and back again from Austin to Michigan to get her.

Not all universities are simply flushing out all their students. Many allow low-income students to stay. And the high schools that track their alumni, and arrange assistance, are proving to be lifelines.

But if those lifelines dont broaden, the B.A. Breakthrough will become a sad retreat.

Wave Of Higher Ed Shutdowns Threatens Americas Progress In Getting Low-Income, First-Generation Students To And Through College - Forbes

NewsTyrell Gittens5 Hrs AgoThis image, provided by the US Food and Drug Administration shows the coronavirus as seen under a high-powered microscope.

While the covid19 pandemic reached TT last month, some nationals in other parts of the world have gone through this phase already and have come out on the other side.

Latest figures from the World Health Organization estimate there are now over 780,000 confirmed cases of covid19 globally and the death toll has exceeded 37,000.

In China ground zero for the spread of the virus life has slowly returned to normal after months of intense lockdowns. In other Asian countries, like South Korea, there has been a reduced rate of infection.

Newsday spoke to two TT nationals on the Asian continent to get a feel of what life is like as the world grapples with the covid19 pandemic.

Marianne Chang, Seoul National University, South Korea

Marianne Chang, 25, a bioengineering student, said public spaces in South Korea have not closed, although the country, which has over 51 million people, has had close to 8,000 cases to date.

There is no official lockdown by South Korean authorities, but efforts against covid19 include real-time text updates giving the time and location of confirmed cases. These updates urge people to avoid areas where there are cases, get tested in cases of exposure and practise social distancing.

Two free masks a week are distributed to citizens, but non-citizens, like Chang, do not have access because they dont have national health insurance.

People are going about business as usual, but the government is sending notices to maintain transparency of the situation.

Theres definitely less people around. Seoul is usually a packed city, so I guess they succeeded in reducing the number of people that are going out.

Chang said shopping and access to products have not been affected, given the countrys large online retail market, even for groceries.Subscriptions to these virtual services have increased.

While there are now online classes, Changs campus is not closed and facilities like the campus library are open, but with precautions, like temperature readings to check for fever.

People are doing and adapting to online classes and assignments. Theres no lockdown (of the campus) and some people are still going to school, but taking precautions.

Chang commends TTs response to curb the spread of covid19, given the countrys testing and healthcare capabilities, which are limited compared to South Korea's.

Jayson Paul, education consultant in Beijing, China

Jayson Paul, 27, has worked in Beijings education sector for over two years. While a sense of normality is returning to China, Paul says daily life has slowed since the pandemic started in Wuhan.

Trains and buses are running again, but with fewer passengers. People have started physically returning to work, but practices like social distancing and health checks before entering spaces are still enforced.

Since mid-February, Pauls employers have rostered staff to let them physically return to work, though they worked from home during the outbreaks major stages, in late January.

Work is slowly getting back to something approaching normal in Beijing.

Describing the lockdowns to get China to this point he said, Its been challenging. I spent a lot of time in my apartment over the last two and a half months. But it allowed the country to move through this disaster.

Chinas situation is now vastly different from what it was in January.

Everything you see going on everywhere else, like social distancing, remote working and people using masking and gloves, we have been doing that since the middle of January.

To give a scale of how dire the situation became, Paul described trying to order masks and hand sanitisers by the third week of January. Before the outbreak such products would usually be delivered in two days. His order never arrived.

Paul said while TTs and Chinas response to covid19 cant be compared, as the two countries are greatly different, the efforts by TTs authorities show the situation is being taken seriously. He urged people to do the same.

It (the measures) comes at a cost. People have lost their jobs and ability to socialise for nearly three months here,but we accepted that.

"The cost of not doing that is really high.
