    Ep. #183 - Solar Power, Solar Justice (feat. Dustin Mulvaney)

    This recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic cover the stress (and joy!) of center directorships and sandwich-making on this week’s podcast. Then (13:53) Dustin Mulvaney (http://www.dustinmulvaney.com) visits the pod to tell us all the things we need to know about solar energy but were afraid to ask. He’s the author of the excellent new book, Solar Power: Innovation, Sustainability and Environmental Justice(U California Press, 2019). We start by talking about whether it’s possible to make a solar power revolution both rapid and just. That gets us to the toxic externalities of solar cell manufacture and his work with the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition (http://svtc.org) to create a Solar Scorecard system that helps pressure manufacturers to clean up their production processes.  Dustin breaks down for us the environmental advantages and disadvantages of both photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar (CSP) systems and then we turn to what he calls the “Green Civil War” brewing between animal rights activists and renewable energy activists over land use changes especially in the American Southwest. In closing we discuss whether a radically decentralized energy ecology could help advance environmental justice goals and what lessons should be learned from Obama era ARRA solar investments in terms of improving energy justice in the future

    Close up of Dustin Michael Daniels gravemarker and its decorations in the Logan Cemetery (1000 North 1200 East) Logan, Utah. The closeup focuses on a pumpkin placed next to the headstone, a solar light, and a small American flag stuck into the ground. There is also a 94 high school tassle looped around the base of the fixed vase

    The immune synapse: Past, present, and future

    Immunological synapses are specialized cell-cell junctions characterized by (1) close apposition of the immune cell membrane with the membrane of another cell driven by adaptive or innate immune recognition, (2) adhesion, (3) stability, and (4) directed secretion. This phenomenon was first recognized in the 1970s and the early 1980s through electron microscopy of ex vivo functioning immune cells. Progressive advances in fluorescence microscopy and molecular immunology in the past 20 years have led to rapid progress on understanding the modes of cell-cell interaction and underlying molecular events. This volume contains a diverse range of protocols that can be applied to the study of the immunological synapses and related immune cell junctions both in vitro and in vivo; and in disease settings in animal models and humans. We have also included chapters on critical molecular tools such as protein expression and mRNA electroporation that underpin or expand imaging approaches, although they are not specific to the study of immune synapses. We hope that these chapters will be of use to people entering the field as well as seasoned practitioners looking to expand their repertoire of methods

    Dustin Michael Daniels gravemarker and decorations in the Logan, Utah, Cemetery (1000 North 1200 East). The image shows the back of the headstone and the associated decorations placed around the stone. The back of the stone is engraved with the epitaph: 'DUSTIN The heartache and loneliness linger, but so do the memories of your warm laughter, mischievous grin, enthusiastic support, compassionate spirit, and tender love. A vibrant young man tragically plucked from the earth in full bloom, you will never be replaced or forgotten, only loved and remembered forever.' Various autumn decorations, including a decorative fence of Thanksgiving shapes, a wreath made of ripe wheat, a set of wind chimes, and autumn flower arrangements have been placed around the stone. Also visible are two solar lights on either side of the grave
