Prof. Kathryn Edgerton-Tarpley (History Department, San Diego State University) invites educators at the 2014 ORIAS summer teachers’ institute on Foodways in World History to consider a cross-cultural comparison of individual, familial, and state responses to famine in Qing China and nineteenth-century Ireland, with particular focus on how cultural and political contexts shape how societies deal with the lack of food.

UC Berkeley's Randy Schekman illuminated a fundamental process in cell physiology: how cells transport and secrete proteins. Disturbances in this process contribute to diabetes, immunological disorders and neurological disease. This discovery led biotech companies to coax yeasts into releasing useful protein drugs, such as insulin and human growth hormone.
UC Berkeley's 2010 Commencement speech calls for Moxie. Honored by Newsweek as one of the "Women Shaping the 21st Century," Tiffany Shlain is an acclaimed filmmaker, artist, founder of The Webby Awards, co-founder of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences and a Henry Crown Fellow of The Aspen Institute.
Few people could appreciate the use of tweets and text messages more than keynote speaker Tiffany Shlain who addressed a sold-out audience of 11,500 people. Shlain noted that the World Wide Web was in its infancy when she graduated from UC Berkeley in 1992. Director Shlain urged graduates to take risks and tackle challenges in life with "moxie -- a mixture of being bold, fearless and a little outrageous," and recounted times in her career when she was able to get doors to open for her with such an approach. Sunday marked the first time that Commencement Convocation was held at the 11,500-seat Haas Pavilion. The event, traditionally held at the Greek Theatre, which seats 7,200, was relocated to accommodate a greater demand for tickets.
