	Making More with Less: Increasing Wealth while Decreasing Resource Consumption Global warming presents one of the greatest challenges ever faced by American society. In the next few decades, it has the potential to impact every aspect of our lives, from the energy we use to the coastal cities we inhabit. Join a panel of experts a to learn about how we can make more with less. Presented by the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management at UC Santa Barbara.
	Lands, Lakes and Oceans: The Ecology of Climate Change Because water is key in many economic and societal functions, understanding the impact of climate change on water resources is key to understanding overall impacts. From fisheries to quality and quantity of resource, join a panel of experts to learn more about the ecology of climate change. Presented by the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management at UC Santa Barbara.
	On Beyond: Commercializing Advanced Technology, Dynamic Displays for Autos On the edition of OnBeyond, take a look at CCAT, a San Diego-based consortium that supports translational research and development and some of the new technologies it assists, and dynamic displays to improve driver awareness.
	On Beyond: Homeland Security, Studying the Brain, The Themis Mission Go OnBeyond and discover technology for robotic monitoring of the nation's borders, explore a new NASA mission to understand Earth-Sun interactions, learn how to extract DNA from everyone's favorite vegetable, and see how science understands the brain, all on this edition of OnBeyond.
	Atoms to X-rays: How Do Proteins Fold? Theory Meets Experiments The machinery of life depends on proteins--large organic molecules composed of tens, hundreds or even thousands of amino acids bound together and folded into specifically shaped structures. How they fold into these three-dimensional structures is known as the second genetic code and is one of great challenges in science today. Join UCSD biophysicist Jose Onuchic, as he explores how physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics are all being applied to crack the protein folding mystery.
	When Things Get Small What could a stadium-sized bowl of peanuts, a shrinking elephant, and a crazed hockey player have to do with nanoscience? Those are just a few of the goofy excursions that await you when witty host Adam Smith and wacky physicist Ivan Schuller take you on an irreverent, madcap, comically corny romp into the real-life quest to create the smallest magnet ever known.
	Physics Meets Biology If scientists could take advantage of the awesomely complex and beautiful functioning of biology's natural molecular machines, their potential for application in many disciplines would be incalculable. Nobel Laureate and Director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Steven Chu explores Possible solutions to global warming and its consequences.
	The Origin of the Human Mind: Insights from Brain Imaging and Evolution UCSD cognitive scientist Martin Sereno takes you on a captivating exploration of the brain's structure and function as revealed through investigations with new advanced imaging techniques and understandings of evolution.
	Music and the Mind In this edition of "Grey Matters," Aniruddh Patel, of the Neurosciences Institute, discusses what music can teach us about the brain, and what brain science, in turn, can reveal about music.
	Avian Influenza: From Wildlife to Poultry to Humans This program addresses the pathogenicity of Avian Influenza, examining the relationship of disease spread from wildlife to domestic fowl to humans. Panelists discuss prevention strategies for persons in contact with potentially infected wild and domestic animals and other humans.
	Climate Change: What We Know and What We Need to Learn How is human activity changing the climate and what are the consequences? Is global warming the cause of more frequent droughts, stronger storms and less snow in the mountains? Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Scientist Dave Bader explores what scientists know about climate change and the research tools used to study the climate.
	Gordon Moore: Behind the Ubiquitous Microchip Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel Corporation, to whom the term "Moore's Law" is attributed, speaks about the ubiquitous microchip.
	The Use of Technology in the Education and Treatment of Children with Autism An overview of research on technology with people with autism, why technology is effective and how to incorporate it into any treatment program. Presented by the UC Davis M.I.N.D. Institute.
	Changing Clouds in a Changing Climate Clouds have a major impact on how Earth absorbs and retains heat. How cloudiness will change in response to global warming is the largest uncertainty in scientists' understanding of climate change. Join Dr. Joel Norris as he reviews what scientists know about connections between cloudiness and global warming based on observed changes in clouds over the last several decades.
	The Future Stewards of Our Planet Learn about the challenging research work of many of the fellowship students at Scripps. Hear three short presentations that represent a sampling of the broad spectrum of research work Scripps graduate students are conducting to understand climate change and its impact on Earth.
	Developing with Sustainability Sunita Narain is one of the most important voices from India concerning global warming, water harvesting, air quality, and toxic contamination of consumer products. She addresses issues relating both to water and forest resource management.
	Energy Trends for the Coming Decades Steve Koonin, Chief Scientist of BP, addresses ways to meet the growing demand for energy in an economical and environmentally acceptable manner. Koonin focuses on the major forces shaping the world's energy future and the technologies required to respond to them.
	How Much Can DNA Really Tell Us About Race? From Identity (In the Mirror) to Identification at the Crime Scene One of the leading authorities on race and science, Troy Duster discusses how the understanding of race is being reshaped by the genomics revolution. Sometimes unintentionally and sometimes not so innocently, genomics may be generating a new and more sophisticated racism, not so different from the eugenics-based and criminological racism that flourished in decades gone by.
	Beyond 'Understanding the Problem': Citizen Action for Global Warming Solutions Environmentalist Bill McKibben offers a vision of what a response to the challenges of global warming might be. He argues that America needs a powerful political effort to move beyond growth as the paramount economic ideal.
	Biofuels: The Science of Creating Greener Energy Higher gasoline prices, dependence on foreign oil and concerns about global warming have placed biofuels in the spotlight. However, no one thinks that turning food crops into fuel is going to quench our thirst for fossil fuels. Not enough land is available. Explore innovative, interdisciplinary research efforts focused on discovering new sources of biofuels and efficient ways make them a feasible, long-term solution to our energy needs.
	Energy and Water Sustainability: Policy Approaches Part 1 What are the linkages between energy and water, and what are the best approaches for ensuring sustainability, even in the face of increasing population, climatic variability, land use change and other stresses on water and energy supplies? The Western Forum on Energy and Water Sustainability explores these issues.
