Giving Back: Finding the Best Way to Make a Difference
April 21, 2010
Bill Gates details major initiatives of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation--eliminating childhood
deaths, improving the nation?s education system, tackling sustainable energy or sanitation systems
worldwide, and calls upon the nation's best minds to work on solving these critical global problems.

Speaker:
William H. Gates III
Trustee and Co-Chair, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
Chairman, Microsoft Corporation
Event Host:
The Office of the President of MIT
"Are the brightest minds working on the most important problems? To the degree they are not, how do we increase that?"

Where the Rubber Meets the Road: Why Chemomechanical Design of Materials is Critical to Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure
March 30, 2010
Krystyn Van Vliet discusses how the materials we build our bridges from, the infrastructure of the
road, and of course, the tires we drive on affect energy use. They are all parts of the sustainable
equation. For the U.S. to achieve the reductions in C02 consistent with the 2050 Kyoto protocols,
a substantial portion of that must be made by reducing the CO2 from the construction of highways and bridges.

Speaker:
Krystyn J. Van Vliet PhD '02
Thomas Lord Associate Professor of Materials Science
and Engineering, MIT
Event Host:
Transportation at MIT
"Since the materials are used in such large volumes why has there been relatively so little
innovation in them? The main reason is that the materials are inexpensive. Because of their
low cost, cost is not a strong driving factor."

While this relationship affords benefits to those in developed nations, it is not scalable. Global population is projected to increase by nearly 2 billion people by 2030. If this newly added population drove just 3,000 kilometers a year, they would emit more tonnes of C02 annually, more than all the countries of Latin America emit today. http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/786 Speaker: Chris Zegras '01 SM, MCP, PhD '05 Ford Career Development Assistant Professor of Transportation and Urban Planning, MIT Event Host: Transportation at MIT "Sometime around the end of last year we became a net urban world. More than fifty percent of the world's population now lives in urban areas. All of the forecast net growth in population on the planet will happen in the urbanizing developing world." -Chris Zegras -------------------------------------------------------------- Civics in Difficult Places April 15, 2010 In a live demonstration of globe-straddling communication technologies like Skype, this forum connects to citizen journalists and activists around the world, some of whom frequently test the limits of governmental authority. Moderator Ethan Zuckerman wonders if these new digital forms are fundamentally liberating, providing users access to public spaces they might otherwise be denied. http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/780 Moderator: Ethan Zuckerman Fellow, the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard University Law School Co-founder, Global Voices and Geekcorps Event Host: MIT Communications Forum "A lot of being in Zimbabwe and being an activist means basically putting your head above the parapet and not being afraid to disseminate information when many factors are working against you... Our take is you need to create hope, continue to be optimistic, and at the same time be defiant about your power and rights." -Bev Clark -------------------------------------------------------------- In The Pipeline: Lunch with a Laureate: Robert Horvitz Presented By: MIT Museum Cambridge Science Festival Speaker: Robert Horvitz David H.

While working at DuPont Central Research in the early 70s, he began working with metal compounds from Group 6 in the Period Table that ultimately led to the catalytic reaction that won him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (2005). Learn how it all started with a gift of a chemistry set when he was eight years old. http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/785 Speaker: Richard R. Schrock Frederick G. Keyes Professor of Chemistry 2005 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Event Host: MIT Museum "Science is the future. All major advances come down to science and scientific research. If you think about what you enjoy today, it?s all based on science." -Richard Schrock -------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Porter in Conversation with Howard Anderson April 28, 2010 Bill Porter shares his own "light bulb moment" when he discovered that a simple Apple computer could give him stock quotes, hours before the morning newspaper arrived. This moment in the early 1980's led to the creation of E-Trade. Howard Anderson hosts this lively conversation on leadership. http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/784 Speakers: William Porter SF '67 Co-Founder and Chairman Emeritus, E*Trade Financial Corporation Howard Anderson William Porter Distinguished Senior Lecturer of Entrepreneurship, MIT Sloan Event Host: MIT Sloan School of Management "It?s a case where the entrepreneur wants to build a business, and is madly in love with a great concept, and the VC wants to make a quick buck. It?s a partnership, but the guy with control is the guy with bucks. That?s not a good recipe. ... You have a dichotomy of interests." -Bill Porter -------------------------------------------------------------- In The Pipeline: Humanistic Approaches to the Graphical Expression of Interpretation Presented By: HyperStudio Speaker: Johanna Drucker Professor, Department of Information Studies UCLA -------------------------------------------------------------- MIT Professional Education ?
