James Randi lecture excerpt from a 2 hour lecture at Caltech in 1992. James Randi explains why you can not prove a negative. The burden of proof is on the person presenting the claim. He then goes into an example of how you can't prove that Reindeer can fly.

Caltech engineers have built an ePetri dish - a compact, small, lens-free microscopy imaging platform. It can directly track the cell culture or bacteria culture within the incubator. The data from the ePetri dish automatically transfers to a computer outside the incubator by a cable connection. This technology can significantly streamline and improve cell culture experiments by cutting down on human labor and contamination risks.

TWiST #135: Jason Speaks at Cal Tech www.facebook.com Jason recently spoke at California Institute of Technology's Entrepreneurship Club to a group of students and entrepreneurs, offering advice, inspiration and some anecdotes to learn from. Support This Week in Startups by joining our new producer program at twistlist.co! 1:00-2:00 How many people in the crowd want to be entrepreneurs when you grow up? 2:00-3:30 Jason gives a brief history of his career as an entrepreneur. 3:30-5:30 The importance of ideas, action and iteration. 5:30-6:30 Why pivoting is underrated and hard work is paramount. 6:30-8:30 How many entrepreneurs here agree that it's hard, lonely work? 8:30-10:30 Why Twitter is a great example of successful product iteration. 10:30-12:30 It's not about the idea, it's about the space. 12:30-15:00 How Jason learned the hard way that you can't fundamentally change people and what to look for in startup employees. 15:00-15:45 Why consensus can hurt a business. 15:45-19:30 The trend of investors looking for people who actually build the product (developers and designers). 19:30-22:15 Money is free--if you have a good idea. 22:15-25:00 Don't underestimate the importance of a good domain name. 25:00-28:00 Jason's past companies, Silicon Alley Reporter and Weblogs, Inc., and his current company, Mahalo. 28:00-30:30 Discovering that video was the differentiator in how well pages on Mahalo did. 30:30-35:30 Question from the audience: How do you make a company ok with <b>...</b>

They did it! With a 46-45 victory over Occidental, Caltech's men's basketball team won its first Southern California Intercollegiate Athletics Conference (SCIAC) game since the 1984-1985 season, breaking its 310-game losing streak. Congrats to the team for a hard-fought season with a victorious end!

This video was taken at California Institute of Technology (CALTECH), Pasadena, California in Nov 2009. I graduated from CALTECH in 1973. My friend, Ali Shariat and his wife accompanied me on this visit. I was paying a visit to the Campus after an absence of more than 20 years. The campus has changed a lot but my dorm has remained the same. I had found CALTECH a very difficult school to attend and struggled most of the time but ended up with a 3.0 GPA. It was good to go back there and Pasadena was as good as I had remembered back then

James Randi lecture excerpt from a 2 hour lecture at Caltech in 1992. Randi talks about an experience he had which was very similar to many of the Out of Body Experiences that people claim to be supernational/paranormal.

www.ibioseminars.org In this set of lectures, I describe the threat facing the world from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and a bold proposal on how we might meet the challenge of eliminating this disease by engineering the immune system. In part 1, I provide a broad introduction to viruses, describing their basic properties and my own history of studying the replication RNA viruses which led to the discovery of reverse transcriptase. I also illustrate the distinguishing features of equilibrium viruses (eg the common cold) that have adapted to co-exist with their host and non-equilibrium viruses (eg HIV) that have recently jumped from another species, are not adapted to the new host, and which can lead to disastrous outcomes (eg loss of immune function with potential lethality in the case of HIV).

In part 2, I describe the growing health problem that is facing the world with the spread of HIV and the limitations of current drug therapies and vaccine strategies. We need new ideas for tackling this problem. Here and in the next segment, I describe bold strategies of using gene therapy to conquer HIV, The approach that I describe in this segment involves gene therapy to produce short hairpin RNAs (siRNA) that target the destruction of a critical co-receptor of HIV, which the viruses that needs to infect cells. I discuss initial proof-of-principle experiments that suggest this approach might be feasible and the next steps needed to develop this idea into a real therapy. See more at www.ibioseminars.org

In this last segment, I describe another gene therapy strategy for HIV in which we propose to develop antibody-like proteins that can be expressed by a patient's B cells and will target the HIV virus for destruction. To achieve this objective, hematopoietic (blood) stem cells must to be targeted with the gene, which will ultimately develop into B cells that express the therapeutic molecule. The ultimate goal is to produce a life-long supply of anti-HIV neutralizing antibodies. In this lecture, I describe the molecular methods underlying this strategy and a development path from proof-of-principle studies in mouse to safe trials in humans. This project receives funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. See more at www.ibioseminars.org

Hear straight from the collegiate students from The Southern California Institute of Architecture and California Institute of Technology about their design and strategy behind their entry in the US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011. The US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon challenges collegiate teams to design, build, and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and attractive. The winner of the competition is the team that best blends affordability, consumer appeal, and design excellence with optimal energy production and maximum efficiency.

In this lecture, I discuss the challenges of designing new proteins that fold into a particular structure or perform a particular function. One method is to computationally design a protein based solely upon our knowledge of amino acids and protein folding, a hard task but one which has had recent successes. Another approach is to screen combinatorial libraries of proteins for a desired function. In particular, I will discuss how structure-based computational methods can allow for high mutation rate (to explore a diversity of function) while maintaining stably folded structures (a necessity to preserve stability and function).

This video series is a lecture on cults and cultic practice at Caltech University. The lecture title is "The Bizarre World of Scientology." The primary focus is on L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology, obviously, with speficic concentration upon its origination, its practice, and its reported abuses. Priscilla Coates is one of the founding directors of the Cult Awareness Network (CAN) and is the current president of the Leo J. Ryan Educational Foundation. She does not claim to be an "expert" on Scientology, believing that it is impossible for anyone to be an expert on anything. She has, however, dedicated her life to freeing people from the tyranny of thought reform and cultic practice. A special note about the Cult Awareness Network (CAN): Please note that CAN - the Cult Awareness Network, is no longer dedicated to its original purpose, and was in fact taken over by members of the Church of Scientology in 1997, reincorporated as the "Foundation for Religious Freedom DBA Cult Awareness Network." People seeking assistance from a cult education group are advised to steer clear of this organization, as it has been reportedly repurposed into a mechanism for funnelling people into Scientology. This video is being offered for educational purposes only. No infringement is intended.

They did it! With a 46-45 victory over Occidental, Caltech's men's basketball team has won its first Southern California Intercollegiate Athletics Conference (SCIAC) game since the 1984-1985 season, breaking its 310-game losing streak. On the last game of the season, Caltech senior Ryan Elmquist sank a free throw with 3.3 seconds left to give the Beavers a one-point victory. With four non-conference wins early this season, and several nail-biters in conference play, hopes were high that this would be the year that Caltech snapped the SCIAC streak. And with last night's victory, the Beavers can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The last Caltech victory in a SCIAC game was a one-point win against La Verne in the 1984-1985 season, when they finished 5-18. The Beavers finished this season at 5-20.
