Ovshinsky developed a new class of disordered or amorphous materials in an area of physics now called "Ovonics." He translated these scientific advances into non-polluting approaches to producing and storing energy from thin film solar technology that is mass produced to hydrogen fuel cells and storage devices. The nickel metal hydride batteries he developed currently power most hybrid cars.

Stan Ovshinsky holds about 350 U.S. patents and has authored more than 275 scientific papers in fields as diverse as neurophysiology and amorphous semiconductors. He has won innumerable honors including the 2005 Innovation Award for Energy and the Environment from the Economist magazine.

He and his late wife, Iris, were named Heroes of Chemistry 2000 by the American Chemical Society for "advances in electrochemical, energy storage and energy generation, including the development of Ovonic nickel metal hydride (NIMH) rechargeable batteries, regenerative fuel cells, solid hydrogen storage system and amorphous silicon photovoltaics" and for having "made significant and lasting contributions to global human welfare."

Stan Ovshinsky is a fellow of both the American Physical Society and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

"Explaining the Inexplicable: Suicide Bombers' Motivation as the Quest for Personal Significance"

Arie W. Kruglanski is a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is recipient of the National Institute of Mental Health Research Scientist Award (Career Award), the Senior Humboldt Award, the Donald Campbell Award for Outstanding Contributions to Social Psychology from the Society for Personality and social Psychology (SPSP), the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the Society of Experimental Social Psychology (SESP), The Award for Scholarship and Creativity from the Regents of the University of Maryland, and the Revesz Award from the University of Amsterdam.

Professor Kruglanski was also Fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences, and is Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the American Psychological Society. He has served as editor of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology: Attitudes and Social Cognition, editor of the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, and associate editor of the American Psychologist.

He has recently served as member of the National Academy of Science panels on counterterrorism, and educational paradigms in homeland security, and is serving on the NAS Board for Cognitive, Social and Sensory Processes. Kruglanski also serves as a co- PI at START (National Center for the Study of Terrorism and the Response to Terrorism), at the University of Maryland.

Professor Kruglanski's lecture will examine recent analyses of the motivations for suicidal terrorism. This lecture will suggest that heterogeneous factors identified as personal causes of suicidal terrorism (e.g. trauma, humiliation, social exclusion), the various ideological reasons assumed to justify it (e.g. liberation from foreign occupation, defense of one?s nation or religion), and the social pressures brought upon candidates for suicidal terrorism may be profitably subsumed within an integrative framework that explains diverse instances of suicidal terrorism as attempts at significance restoration, significance gain, and prevention of significance loss.

International Medical Corps (IMC) has been on the front lines of most major humanitarian emergencies of the last two decades, including the famine in Somalia, ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, the Rwandan genocide, and atrocities against children in northern Uganda. More recently, International Medical Corps was a first responder after the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia and the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan, and responded domestically following Hurricane Katrina. Today, in challenging environments such as Darfur and Chad, International Medical Corps saves lives, provides critical health care and trains local health workers, enabling communities to become self-reliant.

International Medical Corps' President and CEO, Nancy A. Aossey, will address the ever-shifting challenges of delivering relief in some of the most dangerous places in the world, including issues of security, lack of necessary resources and the need for innovative solutions to decades-old problems. These solutions likely will be achieved through the research and innovative thinking provided by graduates of our schools of public health, including Berkeley, who are actively engaged in addressing the realities of today?s world and working toward overcoming the obstacles to health and development in the future.

Mead argues that the key to the predominance of the United States and England has been the individualistic ideology of the prevailing Anglo-American religion. The synergy of this ideology and capitalism propelled Britain and the U.S. to global dominance, and as a result, the two nations were able to create the liberal, democratic system whose economic and social influence continues to grow around the world. Mead goes on to discuss the purpose of Anglo-American power in the post-9/11 world.

National Security, the War on Terror, and the Constitution: A Forum

A campus wide forum held in honor of Constitution Day and the 5th anniversary of the Terrorist Attack on the World Trade Center.

In the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001, the United States quickly responded with a wide range of statutes, executive orders and public policy statements reflecting the perceived need for more effective information gathering, as well as new understandings of traditional constitutional concerns.

This forum will look at a wide range of statutes, and public policy positions taken by Congress, and the President during the past five years. These range from privacy concerns and the use of electronic surveillance; the status of combatants and non-combatant collaborators; the treatment of military prisoners in the United States and in Guantanamo; interrogation techniques; and the applicability of international treaties. The Forum will bring together a wide range of constitutional scholars, historians and political scientists, to consider, evaluate and debate the impact 9/11 has had, and continues to have on the American Constitution.
