Towards a Decarbonized Future (Session 3 of 9)
No full textThis video, provided by the Building Efficiency for a Sustainable Tomorrow (BEST) Center, is from the BEST Center's 2022 Annual Institute and features two presentations. The first presentation, from Jennifer Holm, research scientist at Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory, is titled COP26 and the Role of Nature in Global Decarbonization Pathways. Jennifer provides a brief introduction on the effects of methane and carbon dioxide emissions followed by a detailed discussion of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) and its outcomes. Topics discussed include forests as nature-based climate solutions, getting to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, green infrastructure, and more.The second presentation, by Andrew McAllister, from the California Energy Commission, is titled Decarbonization: Buildings & Flexibility. McAllister gives an overview of the state of California's decarbonization goals along with policies on decarbonization and energy efficiency, focusing on the buildings sector. The discussion includes topics such as codes for newly constructed buildings, equity in decarbonization participation, reducing emissions in existing buildings with electrification, and more.This video runs 1:18:30 minutes in length. Additional videos from the BEST 2022 Institute are available to view separately
Motor Nameplate Examples (Part 2 of 2)
No full textThis video from Columbia Gorge Community College is part two of two videos where viewers "interpret manufacturer, mechanical, and electrical data from a pair of sample motor nameplates." In this video, a Toshiba nameplate is highlighted. The video recording runs 6:54 minutes in length
MNT-CURN Seminar Series: MNTfolio Walkthrough
No full textThis video is part of a series from the Micro Nano Technology Education Center's (MNT-EC) Micro Nano Technology Collaborative Undergraduate Research Network (MNT-CURN) Research Program. In this program, students gain hands-on research experience and build nanotechnology technical education skills. Throughout this video series, viewers "... will hear and see nanotechnology and microtechnology professors presenting about their own research and work -- from biosensors to underwater drones to nanomaterials." Each video covers a different specialty that students may want to learn about and pursue as an undergraduate research project.MNT-EC worked with CAST, a nonprofit education research and development organization, to create the MNTfolio. During this video, Alison Driscoll and Cara Wojcik guide viewers through how the MNTfolio works in undergraduate research. Presenters walkthrough the MNTfolio, describe what it is and how it works, show a prototype, and give a demo of the app.This video runs 19:21 minutes in length. Additional videos in the series are available to view separately

Evaluating the Potential for Immune Escape: How Likely is an Antibody to Protect Against a Specific SARS-CoV-2 Variant
No full textIn this activity, provided by Digital World Biology, students use free, online biotechnology resources to investigate how well different commercial antibodies might work against SARS-CoV-2 variants. Students will first use NextStrain.org to locate and detect the spike proteins of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. Next, they will "use iCn3D and BLAST to align the sequence of the variant spike protein to a sequence of a spike protein that is bound to a commercial antibody." After identifying mutations in the antibody binding site, students will then compare "chemical bonds that would be formed between the original amino acid and the antibody with the predicted bonds that could be formed by the variant amino acid and predict whether their antibody will be effective against their variant."Included is a 3-page instructor guide detailing each step of the activity, a 2-page student instructional sheet, activity materials, such as data spreadsheets, and an informational video on using NextStrain.org, BLAST, and iCn3D
