Environmental Politics and Law (EVST 255) The lecture critiques the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) certification system, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). The criteria for being highly rated under LEED emphasize energy efficiency and minimizing waste, but do not prioritize environmental health and limiting use of dangerous plastics and chemicals. USGBC is a non-profit organization, not a government agency, and...more

Larry Bawden addresses the challenges in producing Solar Energy on a commercial scale. He highlights the capital intensive requirements in this field. He also notes the importance of precise nano-engineering in the manufacturing process.

After discussing the four key elements of any entrepreneurial venture (people, opportunity, context and deal), William Sahlman, professor at Harvard Business School, argues that the greatest value can be achieved by "changing the game," that is changing the relationship of the core elements to one another. Sahlman illustrates this strategy with the example of John Osher and the spin toothbrush. To change the game, Osher brought in the most...more

Larry Bawden discusses the immense potential in Solar Energy by illustrating the high demand for this alternative source. He notes that there is huge demand from a variety of sources - residential houses to large industries. He also highlights the fact that substantial demand for this energy source is international.

Professor Sylvia Ceyer discusses the nature of chemical equilibrium as it relates to free energy, the reaction quotient, and the relationship between K and Q. The meaning of K is further clarified and the external effects on K are identified, from adding and removing reagents to changes associated with the Principle of Le Chatelier.

Professor McBride begins by using previous examples of "pathological" bonding and the BH3 molecule to illustrate how a chemist's use of localized bonds, vacant atomic orbitals, and unshared pairs to understand molecules compares with views based on the molecule's own total electron density or on computational molecular orbitals. This lecture then focuses on understanding reactivity in terms of the overlap of singly-occupied molecular orbit...more

Environmental Politics and Law (EVST 255) The change from smaller, more diverse farms to larger single-crop farms in the US has led to greater reliance on pesticides for pest management. Other changes as the US food system becomes more commercialized include: increased use of additives, higher food prices, more water and energy consumption for agriculture, and more pesticide residues entering food through processing. Pesticides have als...more

Find what you have a passion for and find a company that represents that, says Raikes. Life is too short to focus on money. Interviewers look for three things: high energy, high horse power, and the ability to get things done. It is nice to have relevant experience, but it is more important to be really passionate and willing to learn quickly, he adds.
