It takes up more room than the actual article itself. Want to introduce the subject of this next session which is this booklet here. Its called transform which is very beautiful and its about an initiative that we were privileged to fund called exploring innovation frontier. I want to give a shout out to promote the head of our engineering director at the time a few years ago when we made the decision to fund this. He has gone on to uc irvine where he is a vice chancellor for research. During this time there have been several workshops around the country and ill say a few words about that and then you will hear from two of the people that were greatly involved in those workshops more about this. Let me make now that ive kind of introduced the subject of basic research, leading to innovation and leading to engineering applications, let me make some formal remarks. I will just begin with the quote from our inspiration of the National Science foundation who believed that there must be a s
More now from the National Competitiveness forum with the focus on Public Private partnerships and manufacturing. This is an hour and a half. Good morning, everyone. Its great to be back with the council again. So i only have half a voice, im afraid. I left the other half in stockholm a couple days ago. I was very privileged to get to attend the nobel prize ceremonies because the National Science association supported the 3 physicists that won the prize for Gravitational Waves for 40 years. I think thats a good place to start. [ applause ] its good for all of us to appreciate just what a high risk high reward investment is all about. So that was a progress of technology and super duper engineering challenges that had to be overcome. A lot of people, as you might guess, came and went. It involved multidisciplinary teams of people who did the numerical relativity using Super Computers so we actually knew when the first gravitational wave was detected, what the source was, that it was two

Really to do any kind of history of classroom films you need to understand the scholarship in a lot of fields. So i will be quoting and referencing and putting together a list that ive done, work thats been done by historians of science, film studies people, Communication Studies scholars. So this will be particularly interesting. For reasons that should by now be obvious, the topic is interdisciplinarian. We are going to return to this question, what are the relationships between art, science, entertainment and clul occur. In cinema how did they reinforce one another in these particular contexts. Were going to see the movement of people, the same people across institutions, right, across media forums and across science. So it is all going to be kind of blending together. Also, Science Education. Obviously in Science Education what students are taught depends on what the state of the knowledge is for that period. We have to consider what is the scientific and technical knowledge. Reall
Cold war era Science Education films, in particular ones that were made for tv and the classroom. Now, weve been talking about classroom films before.
