Power and Progress: 1000-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity

MIT South Asian Alumni Association (MITSAAA)

Tuesday, May 6, 12:00pm - 1:00pm (America/New_York)

More Info & RSVP

Event Details

In this presentation, the 2024 Economics Nobel Prize Winner and MIT Distinguished Professor Simon Johnson will discuss how technology has been the mover of progress and prosperity for the last 1000 years.  And how we must manage, navigate and share technology for mass productivity and prosperity.  Professor Johnson has very interesting insights into the various rules/governance and their impact on the prosperity of the societies. For instance, how the British rule has adversely impacted the prosperity of South Asia.
 
In its review, Guardian says that the work of Nobelists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson shows us "how technology — ultimately the source of 85 percent of new wealth — can be used for human betterment."  Times (London) says that the work discusses whether technology "will threaten social stability by increasing inequality and undermining democracy."
 
This event is a collaboration with the MIT Sloan Club of New York.

MITCOC Presents: Faculty Speaker Reception with Nobel Laureate Professor Moungi Bawendi - Quantum Dots & Unexpected Applications

Have you ever wondered how technologies like LEDs, solar cells, and biomedical imaging became so advanced? The answer lies in a groundbreaking discovery in quantum dot research by Professor Moungi Bawendi, one of the most influential chemists of our era.

Quantum dots—tiny semiconducting crystals with remarkable optical and electronic properties—have transformed numerous industries. Central to this revolution was Professor Bawendi's pioneering hot-injection synthesis method, which enabled the production of high-quality, uniform quantum dots on a large scale. This innovation gave scientists an unprecedented ability to fine-tune these materials, tailoring their properties with precision for specific applications.

Today, Professor Bawendi's work drives advancements in a wide array of technologies, from vibrant LED displays to life-saving biomedical imaging tools. His research exemplifies how visionary science can open up limitless possibilities across industries.

Professor Moungi Bawendi, the Lester Wolfe Professor of Chemistry at MIT, has dedicated his career to exploring the science and applications of nanocrystals, particularly semiconductor nanocrystals—better known as quantum dots. Born in Paris, he moved to the United States as a child and went on to earn his bachelor's and master's degrees from Harvard University, followed by a PhD in chemistry from the University of Chicago. After completing postdoctoral research at Bell Labs, he joined MIT's chemistry faculty in 1990. In 2023, Professor Bawendi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry as a co-recipient for his "discovery and synthesis of quantum dots."

Professor Bawendi’s groundbreaking contributions continue to inspire and shape the future of science and technology.

join us for an evening with Professor and Nobel Prize winner Moungi Bawendi on May 13th from 6-8pm at McAndrews Held and Malloy, 500 West Madison, 35th Floor, Chicago, IL.  A wine and cheese reception to follow. Registrants that want to participate virtually will receive details on May 10th.

Prescription For Bankruptcy:
America's Failing Health Care "non-system"

Why do Americans pay more than citizens of any other country for health care and yet have, at best, mediocre health outcomes? Dr. Edward Hoffer will discuss this topic, and suggest both global solutions and practical things you can do to pay less and get better care.

 

Our speaker, Edward Hoffer MD

Edward Hoffer MD is a graduate of MIT and Harvard Medical School and did his residency and fellowship at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

Dr. Hoffer has held faculty academic appointments at Harvard, the University of Massachusetts, and Boston University. He has also held appointments at several Boston hospitals (Peter Bent Brigham, Beth Israel, Boston Hospital for Women), at many Boston metro-west hospitals (in Worcestor, Natick, and Framingham), and at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington. He has either authored or co-authored over 80 publications, including 8 books and dozens of refereed journal articles, many of which deal with the application of computers to various aspects of medicine and with issues within the American healthcare system (insurance, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, etc.).

For 45 years he combined clinical practice of Internal Medicine and Cardiology with research on the applications of computers and AI to medical care, and continues to work half-time at the MGH Lab of Computer Science.

He has written and lectured extensively on the problems of the American healthcare "non-system."

 

Lunch at Alberto's Ristorante

We will be returning to Alberto's Ristorante in Hyannis because of the many rave reviews we received for the food and service in the past.

There will be a cash bar and we will be offering the same entrees as before (gluten-free is available upon request). All meals include a house salad and Tartuffo dessert.

  • Chicken Parmagian - Breaded chicken cutlet topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese. Served with penne pasta.

  • Pork Osso Bucco - Pork shank cooked with celery, carrots, and onions in a Barolo wine sauce. Served with mashed potatoes broccoli.

  • Baked Scrod - Fresh baked scrod with seasoned breadcrumbs, white wine, and lemon touch of butter. Served with pasta and vegetables.

  • Farcite Napoletana (vegetarian) - Eggplant rolled & stuffed with ricotta cheese, baked with San Marzano plum tomato sauce & three cheeses. Served with penne pasta.

The Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project

  • In-Person

Club of Cape Cod

Wednesday, June 11, 5:00pm - 8:30pm (America/New_York)

More Info & RSVP

Event Details

The Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project

Wôpanâak was the language spoken by the indiginous people living in this region when the Pilgrims arrived in 1620.

After a couple hundred years of colonial laws, wars, and diseases, hundreds of Wôpanâak tribes were reduced to four small fragmented communities, and the last people for whom Wôpanâak was their first language passed away in the mid 1850's. It took only a few more generations for all traces of spoken Wôpanâak to completely fade away, with the decendants speaking only English after that.

OUR SPEAKERS:


Jessie (Little Doe) Baird

Jessie (Little Doe) Baird is the Director of Linguistics, Lead Linguist, and a co-founder of the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project.

In the early 1990's she had dreams in which people were speaking in an unfamiliar language, and soon after that she thought that the language might be Wôpanâak, the language spoken by her ancestors.

This inspired her to start researching everything she could find out about the original Wôpanâak language, and in 1993 she co-founded the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project with the long-term goal of revitalizing the language, which had not be spoken for seven generations, for the people now living within the remaining anoag tribes.

Because something like that had never been done before, there were many who thought that it was not even possible. But Jessie was undeterred. In her quest, she gained admission to MIT where she learned how to apply modern linguistic techniques coupled with historical records in order to understand original Wôpanâak grammar and to create a dictionary of 10,000 Wôpanâak words. (And she did all this while commuting between her home on Cape Cod and Cambridge while also raising four children).

For this seminal work, Jessie was granted a Masters in Linguistic Science from MIT in 2000.

In recognition of this and other brilliant achievements ...

  • In 2010, Jessie was honored with a MacArthur Fellowship (a.k.a MacArthur Genius Award).
  • In 2017, Jessie received and Honorary Doctorate in Social Sciences from Yale University.
  • In 2020, Jessie was named one of USA Today's "Woman of the Century."
  • Jessie and her work on Wôpanâak language reconstruction are the subject of a PBS documentary: We Still Live Here: Âs Nutayuneân, directed by Anne Makepeace.

Jessie also serves as the vice-chairwoman of the Mashpee Wôpanâak Indian Tribal Council. 

 


Tracy Kelley

Tracy Kelly is the Director of Programming for the  Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project. She was granted a Master in LInguistic Science from MIT in 2020.
