SUMMARY:Policy Translation Seminar on Nanotechnology Research: Soybeans\, Soil\, and Nodulating Bacteria
DESCRIPTION:Article of discussion: “Soybean susceptibility to manufactured nanomaterials with evidence for food quality and soil fertility interruption.”Presented by co-author: Patricia Holden of the University of California Center for the Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology\, University of California\, Santa BarbaraAbstract:Based on previously published hydroponic plant\, planktonic bacterial\, and soil microbial community research\, manufactured nanomaterial (MNM) environmental buildup could profoundly alter soil-based food crop quality and yield. However\, thus far\, no single study has at once examined the full implications\, as no studies have involved growing plants to full maturity in MNM-contaminated field soil. We have done so for soybean\, a major global commodity crop\, using farm soil amended with two high-production metal oxide MNMs (nano-CeO2 and -ZnO). The results provide a clear\, but unfortunate\, view of what could arise over the long term: (i) for nano-ZnO\, component metal was taken up and distributed throughout edible plant tissues; (ii) for nano-CeO2\, plant growth and yield diminished\, but also (iii) nitrogen fixation—a major ecosystem service of leguminous crops—was shut down at high nano-CeO2 concentration. Juxtaposed against widespread land application of wastewater treatment biosolids to food crops\, these findings forewarn of agriculturally associated human and environmental risks from the accelerating use of MNMs.

SUMMARY:Pro Walk/Pro Bike® 2012
DESCRIPTION:Madeline Brozen\, Program Manager\, of the UCLA Complete Streets Initiative will present at two workshops:Parklets\nMobile Workshop\nWednesday\, September 12\, 2012\n10:15 – 11:45 a.m.\nPower of the Performance Metric Session\nThursday\, September 13\, 10:15 – 11:45 a.m.\nMore information may be found here: http://www.pps.org/pwpb2012/program/\nPro Walk/Pro Bike 2012: Pro Place will feature over 100 presentations on six major conference themes and Placemaking. Click to download the full program\, or follow the links above if you are interested in a particular day. \nInvest + Govern. Bicycling and walking investments are ready to compete in the new cost-conscious reality and political climate in which we live. We encourage presentations that: quantify the benefits and cost savings to the individual and community; present the business case for supporting bicycling and walking; detail financing models for making investments; and other topics.\nAdvocate + Include. When our transportation system is balanced\, everyone can prosper; when transportation decision-making is inclusive\, it builds community. We encourage presentations about: environmental justice achieved; outsiders’ perspective on our work; programs that engage low income and underserved communities; and other topics.\nDesign + Engineer. New approaches to planning\, designing\, and building infrastructure are luring new people into cycling\, and improving safety for all road users. We encourage presentations that: continue the professional development of planners and engineers; discuss the latest transportation engineering publications/manuals; and present best practices for finding flexibility within existing design standards.\nHealthy + Safe. Our neighborhoods can enhance our health and quality-of-life by facilitating social connections and by making walking and biking trips easy and convenient. We encourage presentations from public health professionals and others who have developed successful and low cost models/programs for physical activity/built environment focused interventions. Also included in this category: innovative injury prevention programs\, food access programs\, programs that address childhood obesity\, and programs that prioritize populations experiencing health disparities.\nPlan + Connect. Changing demographics\, emerging technology\, and better collaboration across disciplines\, agencies\, and travel modes is moving us closer to seamless travel in many major cities. We encourage transportation planning related presentations on the following subjects: successful intergovernmental partnerships; exemplary public involvement practices; innovative and cost-effective applications of technology to improve service; and model bike/ped planning.\nSRTS + Beyond. For work that focuses on improving the safety\, desirability\, and ease of movement for young people walking or biking to/from school. We encourage proposals on the following subjects: best practices for including youth in planning; exemplary SRTS programs (K-12); developing schools as neighborhood assets/destinations; and developing community wide youth mobility plans.\nMobile Workshops.\nPeer Problem Solving Sessions.
