Transforming IDEaS into Nobel Breakthroughs

In February, UC San Diego hosted the Innovation Day Expo and Symposia (IDEaS) in honor of the campus’ 50th anniversary.

“Citizens United” and the Supreme Court

As University of Chicago Law School Professor Geoffrey Stone sees it, the Supreme Court issued its most aggressively activist decision in decades with the Citizens United case, which held unconstitutional the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act.

What does this tell us about the judicial philosophy of the current conservative majority on the Court and the future of American democracy? Find out in this 2011 DeWitt Higgs Memorial Lecture presented by Earl Warren College, the UCSD’s Law and Society Program, and the California Western School of Law.

Hunting the Higgs with Vivek Sharma

More than two dozen UCSD physicists are working with hundreds of other scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, searching for a subatomic particle called the “Higgs boson”. How are they doing it? What have they found thus far? And why is this search considered one of civilization’s greatest quests?

In this fascinating talk, UCSD Professor of Physics Vivek Sharma, who directs the Higgs search for the CMS collaboration, explains what physicists hope to achieve at the world’s largest scientific experiment, involving an estimated 10,000 individuals from 60 countries.
