Extending Life Span
Topic of Campus Talk
UC Berkeley’s Department of Bioengineering is hosting a lecture by Aubrey de Grey today at 4 p.m. in Sibley Auditorium. In his talk, de Grey will discuss how therapies that can add 30 years to the remaining lifespan of healthy 55-year-olds may arrive within the next few decades, and how progressively improving therapies will decrease deaths from age-related causes.

For the foreign officials gathered at President Bush's two-day climate summit meeting last week, there's a cruel reality - no matter whether they opt for the voluntary, go-slow American path to emissions cutbacks or the more muscular United Nations approach, there's no way to stop catastrophic global warming if China doesn't also go green. Jiang Lin, with Berkeley Lab’s Environmental Energy Technologies Division, has worked for years alongside Chinese officials on Energy Foundation programs. Lin says China needs help copying and enacting California's utility regulations, which are widely considered among the most advanced in the world, because of their many built-in incentives for efficiency and renewable energy.

ESnet4 Rolls Out
10 Gbps Network
The first national ring of ESnet4 went live over the summer, marking a key accomplishment for a long-term plan to build the next-generation science network for researchers working in Department of Energy national labs, universities and industry. The network ring, the first of several to be built, runs across the country with northern and southern routes before meeting up at various locations along the east and west coast. "The ESnet staff has once again demonstrated that they have the knowledge, experience and dedication to accomplish major paradigm shifts in the service that ESnet provides to DOE's Office of Science community," said William Johnston, head of ESnet at Berkeley Lab.
