Summer School on Gravitational-Wave Astronomy (2015, ICTS)

PROGRAM LINK : http://www.icts.res.in/program/gws2015
TALK LINK : https://www.icts.res.in/program/all/t...
ORGANIZERS : Parameswaran Ajith, K. G. Arun and Bala Iyer
DATES : Monday 29 Jun, 2015 - Friday 10 Jul, 2015
VENUE : ICTS Seminar Room , IISc Campus, Bangalore

DESCRIPTION :
Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, which is celebrating its centenary this year, predicts the existence of gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are freely propagating oscillations in the spacetime. The first direct detection of gravitational waves is expected to happen in the next few years by large laser interferometric detectors. Apart from the upcoming detectors in USA, Europe and Japan, there is an ongoing proposal to build a gravitational-wave observatory in India.
This summer school on Gravitational Wave Astronomy aims to train students and young researchers in the emerging area of gravitational-wave astronomy. The school will involve four graduate-level courses on different topics of gravitational-wave astronomy. The lectures will be given by five leading experts on these topics. The school is mainly intended for graduate students working (or starting to work) on gravitational-wave astronomy, high-energy astrophysics, cosmology and related areas. The school can also accommodate a few postdoctoral researchers working on (or planning to work on) these areas and a few highly motivated senior undergraduates.

Axonal Transport and Neurodgenerative Disorders (ICTS Program, 2013)

# click the upper-left icon to select videos from the playlist

PROGRAM LINK: http://www.icts.res.in/program/ATND2013
DESCRIPTION:
Neurodegeneration, a broad symptom which arises out of several different dysfunctions, is prevalent in aging populations, and it mostly affects people after 50 years of age. There are both hereditary and sporadic cases. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, Charcot Marie Tooth Type 2A (CMT2A), and a variety of different dementia are some examples. Recent research suggests that aberrant intracellular transport and mutations in the motor protein genes can induce such disorders in model organisms and humans. Recent reports also indicate that loss of mitochondrial transport, as well as the slow axonal transport, can induce dementia and neurofibrillary plaques in the brain. In view of these and other related developments, a large body of research has been launched world-wide to elucidate the connection between defective axonal transport and neurodegeneration. This ICTS program, jointly organized by faculties from TIFR, IIT Bombay and UC San Diego, will highlight this new area of research. The program will be organized in two parts:
(i) Advanced School January 13-19, 2013; Venue: IIT Bombay
(ii) Workshop January 20-26, 2013; Venue: The Club Mahabaleshwar
It will be focused on exploring the emergent link between Axonal Transport and Neurodegeneration by well-known and highly acclaimed experts in the field from India and abroad to train and motivate the PhD and postdoctoral students, as well as young faculty. The workshop is organized as a part of the "Mahabaleshwar Seminars on Modern Biology" series and will be concluded with the annual meeting of the Molecular Motors, Transport and Trafficking (M2T2) group

How small are we in the scale of the universe? - Alex Hofeldt

In 1995, scientists pointed the Hubble Telescope at an area of the sky near the Big Dipper. The location was apparently empty, and the whole endeavor was risky – what, if anything, was going to show up? But what came back was nothing short of spectacular: an image of over 1,500 galaxies glimmering in a tiny sliver of the universe. Alex Hofeldt helps us understand the scale of this image.

URL: https://www.icts.res.in/universe-in-n...
Date: 13 Feb 2016, 10:00 to 15:00 HRS IST
Venue: Chandrasekhar Auditorium, ICTS, Bengaluru
The discovery of gravitational waves is a special moment for science. In celebration of this occasion and also to highlight the important contributions made by the Indian scientific community, ICTS-TIFR is organising a day event (10am-3pm) on Saturday, 13 Feb 2016 at its new campus in Hesaraghatta. This event titled "The Universe in a New Light" will consist of talks aimed at a general scientific audience, which will explain the origin of gravitational waves, how they were detected and what we are learning from their detection as well as the new directions that now open up. The speakers include Bala Iyer (Simons Visiting Professor at ICTS-TIFR and Chairperson, IndIGO consortium), C. V. Vishveshwara, P. Ajith (group leader in Astrophysical relativity, ICTS-TIFR), K.G. Arun (CMI), Tarun Souradeep (IUCAA, Pune; Spokesperson, Indigo consortium). They will convey how this discovery opens a completely new window into the universe entirely different from how we have seen the universe hitherto - which has been only through electromagnetic waves (visible light, radio, X-ray etc.). There will also be an interaction with the press and an opportunity for them to talk with the various members of the scientific community present.

" I present my own point of view on the main goal of mathematical physics. It is not the proof of theorems of results known to theoretical physicists. Rather it is the use of the mathematical intuition to deal with problems which arise in physics. This statement is illustrated by several examples from recent developments".

Phil Wickham: Behavioral and Emotional Fitness As Keys to Success in Venture Capital

source: Stanford 2017年1月11日
Phil Wickham is Managing Director of Sozo Ventures, an investment firm that supports IT ventures with their global expansion. Prior to Sozo, Phil was the Chairman and CEO of the Kauffman Fellows program, which works to develop the next generation of venture capital leaders.
In this talk, Phil examines the underlying skills and traits that distinguish great venture capitalists, from radical self-belief to the development of a novel investment thesis and the optimization of talent. Incorporating aspects of neuroscience, narrative theory and the dynamics of empowerment, Phil outlines a path for behavioral and emotional fitness for the investor.
MS&E 476 Course Description: We often discuss how technology is reinvented and disrupted, but there is also a good amount of change occurring within the venture capital industry. Within the past several decades there have been new entrants, from incubators to angels to different models of venture capital.
The course explores changes in the venture capital industry: from the rise of Sand Hill Road and investing in the dot-com bubble, to incubators and accelerators, equity crowdfunding platform, and different models of venture capital today. Through lectures, guest speakers and interviews, the course explores how companies are funded, grown, and scaled, hearing from individuals who have been at the forefront of the industry as investors, technologists and entrepreneurs.

Out-of-Body Exploration with Luis Minero

source: New Thinking Allowed 2017年1月15日
Luis Minero is president of the International Academy of Consciousness. He is also author of Demystifying the Out-of-Body Experience.
Here he discusses the various applications of out-of-body experience (OBE). For example, one tends to lose the fear of death after repeated OBEs. He also describes a number of scientific experiments involving out-of-body experience. These studies are important in establishing that OBEs are more than mere fantasy. An interesting feature of the out-of-body experience is the contact that is often reported with spiritual guides and helpers. Minero maintains that the out-of-body state is the most conducive for entering into conscious communication with such entities – and, as a result, establishing a stronger sense of one’s life purpose.
New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is a past vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology; and is the recipient of the Pathfinder Award from that Association for his contributions to the field of human consciousness. He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.
