Open Reader Position for ISF 10: Enduring Questions and Great Books in the Western Tradition

Please contact Rakesh Bhandari, Acting Director, Interdisciplinary Studies if you are interested in reading for this course in the Fall.

He can be reached at bhandari@berkeley.edu

The focus will be on two thinkers: Plato and Galileo. Two watersheds in the history of Western thought were the introduction of the logic of the concept and the practice of experimentation. In The Republic Plato introduced us to analysis of our everyday concepts to show how unstable, vague, poorly understood and arbitrarily applied they are. Thinking had to turn on the concepts through which we ordinarily think, and Plato gave us our still greatest dialectical example of this in his dialogues on the meaning of justice in The Republic. Galileo introduced into human thought the redefinition of knowledge grounded in observation and experiment and expressed in the abstraction of mathematical symbols. These are two of the greatest turning points in human thought, and we will focus on Plato’s and Galileo‘s writings, while also consulting Jonny Thakkar’s and Mario Livio’s recent commentary on them, respectively.

UCSF ADELANTE Study

nst_ugrad — 2023-10-18 16:53:43 UTC

We are looking for Spanish-speaking volunteers to assist with a study called ADELANTE, which is a randomized clinical trial with Latinx patients who have diabetes and food insecurity. Participants receive deliveries of vegetables and whole grains and participate in a behavioral intervention (and are randomized to either get this intervention immediately or after a waiting period). We are evaluating diet using 24-hour diet recalls with the ASA-24 tool, which is an online platform that includes a large database of foods and portions. Study volunteers complete diet recalls with patients a total of 9 times over the course of their 1-year participation in the study. This is an ideal opportunity for students who have an interest in nutrition, public health, and/or medicine, and who can commit at least 6 months of volunteering. The hours that you would conduct these calls are very flexible, but we ask for approximately 4 hours a week. The study is a collaboration between Stanford and UCSF and involves patients at La Clinica de la Raza. If you have any questions, and are interested in volunteering, please contact Dr. June Tester at june.tester@ucsf.edu
