SUMMARY:San Diego UCLA Fund Chancellor's Society Salon
DESCRIPTION:ISIS and the Future of the Middle East\nThe rise of the jihadist group ISIS\, or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria\, has led many to question not only this group’s origins\, but the future influence it might have on an unstable region.

SUMMARY:San Gabriel Valley UCLA Fund Chancellor's Society Regional Event
DESCRIPTION:Reading Between the Tweets: Using Social Data to Predict and Change Real World Problems\n\nSocial big data from technologies like social media\, online search\, and mobile apps are being used to better understand and predict real-world events and outcomes. The University of California Institute for Prediction Technology (UCIPT) at UCLA was created to address issues like these. As Executive Director of UCLA Center for Digital Behavior and Executive Director of the UCIPT\, Dr. Young works to bring together researchers and community stakeholders to study whether and how social technology data can be used to predict events in areas like health\, politics\, and security. Dr. Young’s talk will provide an overview of the field of Prediction Technology as well as research being addressed by the Institute\, such as 1) how Twitter is being used to predict HIV risk behaviors and outbreaks\, 2) how social media and wearable devices can be used to predict sleep quality and stress among UCLA students\, and 3) ways in which these insights are being used to change people’s behaviors to address real-world problems. \nAbout Dr. Sean Young\n\nSean Young\, PhD\, MS is the Director of the University of California Institute for Prediction Technology (UCIPT)\, the UCLA Center for Digital Behavior\, and an Assistant Professor of Family Medicine. As the Director of UCIPT\, Dr. Young seeks to bridge researchers across University of California campuses to study how data from social technologies like social media and wearable devices can be used to predict real-world events in areas like health/medicine\, politics\, and security. His research at the UCLA Center for Digital Behavior is focused on use of social media and mobile health technologies to change and predict behavior. He has studied how social media can address issues related to HIV and drug use prevention and treatment behavior in the U.S.\, Peru\, and South Africa\, and Iran\, and among various at-risk populations around the world. He was the Primary Investigator of the Harnessing Online Peer Education (HOPE) UCLA\, HOPE Peru\, and HOPE Opioid studies\, showing how social media can be used to increase HIV testing and reduce prescription drug abuse/addiction. His team completed the first study to create methods of using observational big data (> 550 million tweets) from social media for drug and HIV-related surveillance. He teaches a course for UCLA undergraduates called Hacking Global Health on how to use social media and mobile technologies to quickly address global health needs.\n \nRSVP is required for this event.\nInvitees can RSVP at: https://eventsrsvp.ucla.edu/SGV/

SUMMARY:Downtown Los Angeles UCLA Fund Chancellor's Society Regional Event
DESCRIPTION:Think Grand: A Climate Change Legal Scholar’s Perspective on the Sustainable LA Grand Challenge \nOver the coming decades\, environmental challenges could significantly disrupt the economy\, human health\, and quality of life in Los Angeles County. Climate change is projected to have major impacts on Los Angeles County’s average temperatures\, extreme heat days\, snowfall in the local mountains\, and wildfire risk in the region. Hear from Professor Ann Carlson\, one of the country’s leading scholars of climate change law and policy\, about the possible legal and governance hurdles surrounding the renewable energy component of the exciting campus-wide Sustainable LA Grand Challenge. The Sustainable LA Grand Challenge is an ambitious research project through which UCLA has committed to develop a comprehensive plan to transition Los Angeles by 2050 to 100% renewable energy\, 100% locally sourced water\, and enhanced ecosystem health. \nAbout Ann Carlson \nAnn Carlson is the Shirley Shapiro Professor of Environmental Law\, and the inaugural Faculty Director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the UCLA School of Law. She is also on the faculty of the UCLA Institute of the Environment. \nProfessor Carlson is one of the country’s leading scholars of climate change law and policy. Two of her articles\, Iterative Federalism and Climate Change and Takings on the Ground\, have been selected by the Land Use and Environmental Law Review as among the top five environmental articles of the year\, and her work has been published in leading journals including the UCLA\, California\, Northwestern and Michigan law reviews. She is co-author (with Daniel Farber and Jody Freeman) of a leading casebook\, Environmental Law (8th ed.). She recently served on a National Academy of Sciences panel\, America’s Climate Choices: Limiting the Magnitude of Future Climate Change\, and she is currently serving on an American Academy of Arts and Sciences panel studying the future of America’s energy systems. Carlson is also a frequent commentator and speaker on environmental issues\, particularly on climate change\, and she blogs at Legal Planet (http://legalplanet.wordpress.com). \nProfessor Carlson teaches Property\, Environmental Law\, Climate Change Law and Policy\, and a Climate and Energy Law workshop. She is an outstanding teacher who was the 2011 recipient of the University’s Eby Award for the Art of Teaching and the UCLA Distinguished Teaching Award\, as well as the 2006 recipient of the Law School’s Rutter Award for Excellence in Teaching.
