BERKELEY Science Review Spring 2006 Issue 10 BERKELEY science review Spring 2006 Issue 10 Berkeley vs. Intelligent Design The Dawn of Multicellularity Ethical Technology Licensing BERKELEY SCIENCE REVIEW SPRING 2006 1 Plus: BSR turns 10 & Origins of Chocolate & A Star is Born & Congress 101 & Pennies from Hell BERKELEY DEAR READERS, science It is my pleasure to introduce you to this, the 10th issue of the Berkeley Science Review. Beginning with our first issue published five years ago this spring, the BSR has time and again brought you the best of Berkeley’s research in areas as diverse as astronomy, ethnobotany and immunology. For review me, this is the 4th issue I have taken part in–and it really does keep getting better and better! Editor in Chief In this issue we take a look back at some of the BSR’s memorable stories and give you updates on the latest progress (p. 6). Jessica Porter New this spring, Michelangelo D’Agostino takes a hard look at UC Berkeley’s role in the Managing Editor controversy surrounding teaching evolution in public schools (p.31). Former BSR editors Temina Madon and Heidi Ledford tell us about how scientists can talk to policy makers (p.43), Wes Marner and what to expect from the world of intellectual property licensing (p.36) respectively. Jesse Dill Art Director and Harish Agarwal report on a possible resolution to a long-standing debate over star formation (p.12). Returning “Who Knew” columnist Louis Desroches debunks another science myth–the Jack Lin legend of the lethal penny (back cover). Copy Editor Also new to the BSR, starting this fall we will be offering paid subscriptions to the magazine. Tai Po Ping So if you want to guarantee delivery of each BSR right to your door, or if you want to read our Editors submission guidelines, peruse past issues, or check our upcoming events page, visit our website at Meredith Carpenter sciencereview.berkeley.edu. Michelangelo D’Agostino In the spirit of reflection brought on by this anniversary issue, I want to thank all of the editors, Charlie Emrich writers, layout staff, illustrators, donors and, of course, readers who have contributed to the success of the Berkeley Science Review these past five years. Many of our ranks have gone on to Wendy Hansen exciting careers in science journalism, public policy, and academia–and we continue to rely on Jacqueline Chretien incoming Berkeley students of all types to keep the magazine running. Charlie Koven In looking back on our first Editor in Chief’s opening letter, I realized that his comments were just as true, and possibly more chilling today than ever. To quote Eran: “If my advisor knew how Chief Layout Editor much time I’ve spent on this…he’d boot me out the door. I’d be working at Andersen Consulting as fast as you can say ‘creative business solutions’.” Andrew DeMond Layout Editors Enjoy the issue, Charlie Emrich Wendy Hansen Jessica Porter Kathryn Quanstrom Printer Jessica Porter Sundance Press © 2006 Berkeley Science Review.

    N E W S L E T T E R The Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities October 2001 Grounding the Humanities Environment-related Activities at the Townsend Center “Rediscover Earth Now!” During the 1970s and 1980s, burgeoning popular interest in the environment and environmental issues helped fuel the creation of a plethora of new courses and new programs in the natural and the social sciences, as well as in professional schools including Medicine and Law. And yet, while individual humanists joined this movement and have continued to produce valuable work related to the environment (on the Berkeley campus, one thinks of faculty as varied and accomplished as Robert Hass, Kerwin Klein, and Hertha Sweet Wong), the humanities as a whole could and should play a more central role in reexaminations of what we mean by “nature” and how these definitions affect and are affected by crucial environmental initiatives and policies. Because of my own work in the Amazon, the more active presence of the humanities in larger debates about environmental issues is a matter of personal concern. But the role of the humanities in these debates is a much broader intellectual and logistical question, one in which the Townsend Center, at both the institutional and programmatic levels, has begun to play an important part. While study of the environment is only one of the Center’s multiple interests, we have recently taken several important steps to increase our participation in promoting multi-disciplinary approaches that take up the connections between nature and culture. On the Berkeley campus, the Townsend Center has initiated its first formal collaboration with the College of Natural Resources by appointing to our Advisory Board Nancy Peluso, a faculty member in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management.

Board of Trustees 2018–19 .................................... 40 These victories evoke a sense of freedom, an emotion very much reflected on the cover of this Annual Report of Philanthropy: a hardy peregrine falcon, once on the brink of extinction, in flight above its 307-foot home, the Campanile. One of a pair whose second set of chicks fledged last spring, the noble falcon and its family stole the hearts of the campus community and people around the world on social media. With renewed confidence we now look to the future. Our comprehensive strategic plan guides us toward fulfilling three aspirational pillars: empowering our students and faculty to change the world; discovering innovative solutions to society’s grand challenges; and embracing the California spirit that is fueled by inclusion, entrepreneurial activity, and diversity of every sort. The strategic plan is already driving changes in the undergraduate experience that will improve the support and academic counseling we provide and put discovery and creative expression at the very center of our students’ academic lives.

Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listing of Contents is published by the Office of the U(liversity of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasing public awareness of feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with a wide spectrum offeminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to ajournal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the limitations of the new copyright law with regard to photocopying of copyrighted materials.) Table ofcontents pages from currentissues ofmajor feministjournals are reproduced in each issue of Feminist Periodicals, preceded by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As publication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP. The annotated listing provides the following information on each journal: 1. Year of first pUblication. 2. Frequency of publication. 3. U.S. subscription price(s). 4. Subscription address. 5. Current editor. 6. Editorial address (if different from SUbscription address).

  • Department of History
    Department of History SUMMER 2021 Newsletter 2 LETTER FROM THE CHAIR | JOHN OTT Warm congratulations to the Class of 2021! I can think of no better way to begin this column than by acknowledging the perseverance and hard work of our unsinkable graduates. At its virtual commencement celebration in early June, the department celebrated the achievements of eleven Master’s students and sixty-five undergraduates who earned their degrees during the past academic year. No class in living memory has faced similar challenges, and few could have anticipated, back in March 2020, that they would spend the next fifteen months taking classes remotely. We applaud their resilience, and wish them well — the world needs them! Despite the challenges of the remote environment and the absence of our students and colleagues on campus, the past year was in many ways a great success. The newsletter on your screen is packed with pages of stories about student and alumni experiences, faculty achievements, and recaps of department events. I’d like to highlight a few of our initiatives here. In April, Portland State launched its annual Day of Giving Campaign, and the History Department was an avid participant. Given the many financial challenges our students faced in the past year, we sought to support the formation of a dedicated Student Hardship Fund, to which any enrolled History major or Master’s student in need John Ott channeling his inner Tim Garrison of financial assistance, from money for books to help with tuition and rent, could apply. We set a goal of $5,000 — and utterly smashed it! Our amazing donors and community supporters rallied to help us raise over $14,500, which qualified us for two matching grants totaling $3,000.

  • Annie Montague Alexander: Explorer, Naturalist, Philanthropist
    RIANNA M. WILLIAMS Annie Montague Alexander: Explorer, Naturalist, Philanthropist KAMA'AINA ANNIE MONTAGUE ALEXANDER was a well-known and respected naturalist and explorer in several western states and a phil- anthropic leader in the development of two natural history museums at the University of California, Berkeley campus. She traveled the world for pleasure, knowledge, and the opportunity to collect natural history specimens that interested her. Over a period of forty-six years, she contributed approximately a million and a half dollars toward the support and endowment of the university's Museum of Vertebrate Zoology and the Museum of Paleontology, contributing immeasur- ably to the teaching and research facilities of the University.1 CHILDHOOD Annie was the oldest daughter of Samuel Thomas Alexander and Martha Cooke Alexander of Maui. Samuel was the son of the Rever- end William Patterson Alexander and Mary Ann McKinney Alex- ander, who arrived in Hawai'i in 1832 in the Fifth Company of American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Samuel was born October 29, 1836, in a grass hut at Wai'oli in Hanalei, Kaua'i. When Samuel was seven his father was transferred to Maui, where he became the headmaster of Lahainaluna School and later manager of Previously published, Rianna M. Williams has returned to research and writing after nine years working in the historical area. A longtime student of Hawaiian history, she now vol- unteers at Bishop Museum.
