Librarians are accustomed to the fact that Google has challenged us to work within a changed information habitat for ourselves and our uses. But if you’re a user of GMail, Google Docs, Calendar or other services, you might be wondering why we still have Eudora, Meeting Maker, Microsoft Word, and the U:\ drive. Join CIO Kevin Morooney and Senior Director of DLT Mairéad Martin for a discussion of why and how Google challenges university IT services and how we might think about them.

Glass Ceiling or Sticky Floor?: How self-limiting behaviors, assumptions and beliefs can hold women back in their careers*
Presenter(s): Rebecca Shambaugh
Status: Available
Air Date: 10/10/2007
Air Time: 4:30 PM EST
Length: 1 Hour 4 Minutes 26 Seconds
Ms. Shambaugh’s presentation will focus on seven “sticky floors,” or self-limiting behaviors, assumptions and beliefs that hold women back in their careers. The talk is for faculty, staff and students interested in avoiding or breaking free of these sticky floors. Her key points will focus on building strategic relationships, leveraging political savvy, making words count, negotiating for what people want and need, achieving work/life balance, asking for help and taking prudent risks, and balancing perfectionism with excellence.

"Fuel Cells: Are We There Yet?"
Presenter(s): Matthew M. Mench
Status: Available
Air Date: 3/1/2008
Air Time: 11:00 AM EST
Length: 1 Hour 36 Minutes 13 Seconds
The promise of hydrogen fuel cells is highly touted, and there are increasing numbers of working prototypes for automotive, stationary, and portable applications, but mass commercialization still has not arrived. Learn about the real limitations to fuel-cell technology, and what must happen before we all will be able to drive a fuel-cell-powered car to work.

Magnetoencephalography and the Hunt for HFO'S
Presenter(s): Dr. WILLIAM EDDY
Status: Available
Air Date: 4/17/2008
Air Time: 4:00 PM EST
Length: 1 Hour 10 Minutes 5 Seconds
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is the measurement of the magnetic field generated by the neural activity of the human brain. It is a completely non-invasive technique, simply performing passive measurement of the field. MEG has very high temporal resolution (a millisecond or less) and high spatial resolution (about a centimeter). It is used clinically for presurgical planning for untreatable epileptics. It is used as a research tool for studying brain function, much like fMRI and PET. This talk will describe MEG, from the various points of view of neuroscience, physics, and statistics. We will describe the hardware, typical experiments, the data, and current methods of analysis.

High frequency oscillations (HFO's) have been suggested as a precursor to epileptic seizures. This preictal activity, if it exists, will be extremely difficulty to detect because of computational problems and because of noise. We will report on our attempts to find HFO's.

Length: 1 Hour 46 Minutes 24 Seconds
The discussion will focus broadly on system-wide questions about global energy issues and environmental impacts, and on integrated solutions involving multiple energy sources. The panelists are researchers whose work focuses on global warming, solar energy, biofuels, nuclear power, coal, and fuel cells.
The event is an encore performance by the speakers in the 2008 Penn State Lectures on the Frontiers of Science, which took place earlier this year. The panelists include Richard Alley, Evan Pugh professor of geosciences; Jack Brenizer, chair of nuclear engineering and professor of mechanical and nuclear engineering; Matthew Mench, associate professor of mechanical engineering; Tom Richard, associate professor of agricultural and biological engineering and director of the Penn State Institutes of Energy and the Environment; Harold Schobert, professor of fuel science; and John Golbeck, professor of biochemistry and biophysics and professor of chemistry.
