have to look very carefully at public attitudes towards violence in south africa at the human sciences research council we've been looking at public attitudes towards vigilanteism people's willingness to take the law into their own hands and we find significant public support for the idea that private citizens should take it into their own hands to punish people they perceive as wrong to is if you have a strong prejudice and believe that you as a private individual have the rights to gauging public violence this is a recipe for disaster ok not what could be the right approach for the government to tackle xenophobia. the selector being government currently has adopted the national action plan to combat racism racial discrimination xenophobia and related and intolerance they made this pledge in march 2019 this yet they haven't acted as series of stated. actions ranging from civic education media engagements vessel war foresman to improved immigration management and international migrant integration programs much of this is still at the early stages and it is still unclear how committed the state

of science research how the brain reacts to what happens exactly when i move in. direction for instance. from the. 20 physics. reality we see space. and a large part of our brain is dedicated to image processing. it is enough to rely on visuals alone to create a surround. there's more to genuine experience. different inputs from our senses to create the whole reality. when it comes to brain studies with when the. activity. experience the more it generates neural firing patterns. brain activity. the rats were placed on the spherical trap which meant they had to move and balance as a result of the rats brains showed similar neural representational space in the virtual world we use a lot of sensory clues to navigate have a look. studies show that beyond needs to include. not just. his sound taste and touch missing from the v.a.r. experience the illusion is weakened. even so the brain treats real life and nation similar. patterns of how the brain responds are similar our brain will process fear in a similar way whether i'm in a real life or of. a similar psychological

ready or bad what dr o'grady a great action this 7 researcher chief science officer and co-founder said this research foundation talking about human ingenuity and rejuvenation technology is welcome to the show so some are saying. silver tsunami of aging people is set to hit the global economy by 20 safety do you see any major rejuvenation solutions available by that time. i will go further i would say that absolutely this rejuvenation by technology is the only way that we are going to keep the ageing of the population from completely crippling the global economy already we're in a hugely problematic situation of course the difficulty is that the reason why we have so many people who are. elderly now is because number one we are preventing them from dying young because we're really good now at curing infectious diseases and so on but also because they thought the types of thing that people get sick from later in life are slowly progressive chronic problem so people don't die out once the way they do from typical infections will continue to go gradually sicker and sicker and sicker and mo

saving going with us now senior research specialist at human sciences research council he's on skype from durban you know stephen this is clearly getting worse yesterday i was speaking to another guest about things like a football match being cancelled and some leaders not going to a conference but when you get to the stage of starting to shut down embassies it's getting a little more serious. absolutely i think what we've seen in the last few days is growing concern in the african continent that this latest round of anti immigrant riots will not be taken seriously by the present administration as and immigrant rights in the haast have been by previous administrations however i am going to try our arms president present around a cause that well deal with the issue of anti immigrant crime hate crime in a progressive and dynamic fashion in march of 2019 these so that current government of top tips and national action plan on racism racial discrimination xenophobia and relates and i'm tolerant this prior sets out clear measures to combat xenophobia and reduce. anti immigrant hate crime

the first is, make the big investment in science and research and development, the things we do best here in america. part two is we say to the world, you can produce whatever we come up with in our science, whatever devices, you can have it, apply it, but whatever is manufactured from it, you have to manufacture right here in the united states of america. that will produce an estimated 1.2 million new manufacturing jobs, good jobs, union jobs, not just jobs that pay less, not jobs that are an afterthought, but real jobs. that's part i of it. we want to sell this stuff around the world. that's how you generate a change in how we see both our economy, building unions, building good jobs, and at the same time saving our own nation and the rest of the world on the climate front. these are the kind of changes that we can make together. and let me say one more thing about workers. i don't want to miss this chance. understand we need our smart workers. we need the guys and the gals who have been sitting around for a long time who know how to read plans and move big equipment and they know h

she was the first social science researcher who applied research of inclusive bias to law enforcement. her book, research heavily relates to 96a, which katie will discuss in the next slide. as part of the ongoing conversation on police reform, including accountability and transparency, accurate data collection and reporting from police stops. by identifying characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, and age that play a role in the outcomes and interactions between law enforcement officers and members of the public. it is significant because it reveals specific bias heavily influences officers when making stops. this information is invaluable, because it allows for improvement in policy that helps mediate the influence of bias. now we are going to have marcus talk about better practices. >> throughout our internship we engaged in weekly discussions of the afro mentioned. i've come up with four techniques that we have deemed to be best practices. we would like to preface this by saying we recognize that implicit bias is not a simple issue to fix we do not believe that these best p

currently the department of energy is our nation's largest sponsor of physical science research. all, yes. science -- scientists voice their opinion and discover the house un-american activity committee. 4000 civilian and 18,000 contractor staff. the conner intelligence efforts during the manhattan project was chiefly harming counterintelligence as hoover and general gross agreed that the manhattan project was an army concern and that the fbi need not worry about it. requiredc energy act that the fbi reinvestigate everyone who transferred to the atomic energy commission. so congratulations, you have 40,000 people. by the way your clearances are spec to last week. expectedlearances are last week. allegations were rampant. imagine what would happen if somebody interviewed folks saying, these are some examples. one reported that in 1943, after you moved, here it is five years later, certain magazines and pamphlets may have been left on premises. after you had gone. that included the socialist pamphlet, new masses. a neighbor stated she believed you are, well a close relative of yours

and then of course the science research development, all the investment that we have to do. so once you do something with the carbon tax, once you repeal parts of that republican tax bill that were so recongressive with hundreds of billions going to corporations and going overseas. using that money for infrastructure which i propose right off the top, you get the funding you need to for me a $2 trillion to $3 trillion range, part of it is with matching funds. i want to be honest what i think we can bring in. >> and you have been very direct. one of the things people like you are specific. >> and blunt. >> lets $2 trillion. which you are. senator sanders says 16 trillion. that sounds like that's way above. >> you have ask him about this. i only now i get the funding. i think you have to be honest with people about how you get the money and what you're going to spend it on or it's going to be really hard to bring along those people that we need to win in the middle of the country. we have to went the senate. if you really want to move this we need a different majority leader t

research!america for convening this important forum to highlight key issues we face in medical science today, but also for its longstanding leadership in recognizing the need for quality research to improve medicine and health. i have been familiar with you for a while now and i find you to be the advocate for science that the governor described. i started my career as an academic biomedical researcher as well as a doctor who treated patients with blood cancers for many years. given my background, i cant think of anything more critical -- any topic more important than producing the best research to provide the best data that is needed to develop new treatments or our patients. my formative experience in this regard occurred when i took a year between my second and third years of medical school to participate in the hhmi research scholars program at nih, where i studied aids dementia. that experience helped me appreciate the art of generating and analyzing research data, -- my own data, and it really fostered my love of science. within a few weeks of starting the job, people would ask how i enj

>> well, gmo, i'm guest genetically modified organisms, i do appreciate research and science to try new things, my take on gmo's unlike many of my organic farming friends who want to outlaw them categorically, i say let the research proceed, but if one of your patented beings invades my farm and gives me foreign beings that i don't want, that should be considered trespass, just as if your bull came over and stomped my rose bushes, we are convoluted in justice in america today that not only if you're gmo comes over and has a -- you know, these are inherently -- this being -- [laughter] >> if they come over and giving me beings that i don't want, not only can i not go down and get the magistrate for trespass but courts have ruled i have to pay you a loyalty for the privilege of your beings coming over and affecting my beings, so it's an extremely convoluted type of justice that we have today. and so if -- if your property were truly protected that way, like bulls and cars and burglars, if it were protected, that would put a brake, if you will, a historical and maybe -- an organic break, i

we know from political science research this representation is linked to substantive representation. not only that, racial minorities, people of color, women who are represented by members of congress who share characteristics within are more likely to be engaged in the process. i can come the 116 congress is a high water mark in terms of representation but still falls well short of the population with the house comprised of 24% women,, with 36 new women of republican women are dramatically underrepresented. there are 44 latina members of congress and 55 african-americans. sort of underrepresentation of really every group except for highly educated older white men. when it comes to staff capacity, it's more difficult to retain quality staff and staff are not the first. along with others on this panel and others in industry i part n american silicide association task force on congressional reform. one of the things the task force has been charged with looking at his staff retention and diversity. we know there's more turnover than that used to be and staff members are leaving capitol
