"MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU" EDITION!

MIT CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PRESENTS:
MITCSC Monthly Technical Book Club

We will continue discussion on D&P Chapter IX (Geodesics) and prior topics, including Anand's solution to exercise VIII.2.1.

The Technical Book Club is reading "Tensor Geometry" by Dodson and Poston, a differential geometry-centric introduction to general relativity.  We will continue to make use of Needham's "Visual Differential Geometry & Forms" and Tu's "Differential Geometry" to elucidate D&P's Chapter IX (Geodesics).  As we get deeper into D&P, we find that the quality of exposition is slipping, so we rely more heavily on other texts to elucidate the details.  Discussion on topics covered in prior meetings is always welcomed.  One of our aims with this meeting will be to agree upon a translation table among the various texts with their respective terminology and symbolic conventions for differentiation in all of its contexts.  Expertise on the subject is not required, as we are all learning from each other.

Registration is not required, but is greatly appreciated to help our MITCSC event planning!

MITCSC PRESENTS:
Afternoon at the Ballpark, 2025 - Detroit Tigers at Anaheim Angels

Another baseball season, another MITCSC trip to Anaheim to see the Angels play on a Sunday afternoon.  Since going early in the season was well-received last year, we are going to making another spring trip this year, hopefully before the afternoon weather gets too warm.  We invite Caltech alums and families to join us this year!

As always, this is a fun family event.  In the past, kids have been invited onto the field to run the bases once the game has been completed, but we have not confirmed if the Angels still offer that opportunity.  Nevertheless, it promises to be a pleasant afternoon of Major League Baseball.

We will probably again suggest a pre-game gathering at the Golden Road Brewpub across the street from the stadium starting at 11:00 am. This will give everyone the chance to get lunch and not have to pay ballpark concession stand prices!  Parking is generally available at the brewery if you arrive early enough, though the brewery now charges a fee if you leave your car there for the game.  Otherwise, paid parking is available in the ballpark lots.

MBA COLLECTIVE SOCAL PRESENTS:
Berkeley Haas Real Estate & Economics Symposium

MBA Collective SoCal and Berkeley Haas Alumni Network of Los Angeles invite MIT and all partner school alumni to the Berkeley Haas Real Estate & Economics Symposium including industry leaders who will share their insights on investing in multifamily real estate! This event is in-person at the transformative West Edge Hines development at Bundy/Olympic in West Los Angeles.  Click HERE for more information and to register on the Berkeley Haas Luma event page.  MIT alums can use promo/coupon code MBACOLLECTIVE2025 to receive the discounted Cal alumni ticket price.

Multifamily real estate is more than an asset class—it’s a leading indicator of where commercial real estate is headed. In an uncertain market shaped by rising interest rates, evolving policies, and shifting capital flows, understanding this sector is key to navigating what’s next.

​This year’s symposium, hosted in partnership with the Berkeley Real Estate Alumni Association, brings together leading voices in real estate investment, development, and finance to explore how multifamily trends reflect broader CRE risks and opportunities.

​Attendees will gain actionable insights on market dynamics, investment strategies, and structural shifts shaping the industry’s future, while enjoying the opportunity to network with Berkeley Haas alumni, industry leaders, and peers in a cutting-edge venue designed by Hines, a global leader in real estate innovation. Heavy appetizers and an open bar (beer and wine) are included in ticket price.

LA HIGH TABLE PRESENTS:
DR. JOHN VIDALE - SEISMIC SECRETS

We invite all Yale, MIT, and Princeton alums to join us for a Los Angeles High Table Mixer aimed at showcasing dynamic speakers in an intimate setting that facilitates connection with your fellow alumni.  This in-person event features Yale alumnus and current USC Professor John Vidale ‘81 who will speak about his work using seismic waves to probe earthquakes and Earth’s structure.  Come hear our speaker share sundry seismic secrets, and stay to network with fellow alums!

Date:  Sunday, May 18th

Time:  1:00 – 3:30pm PDT

Location:  We are lucky to have this event at the Hancock Park home of Sonia Molina (a Yale alum).  The exact address will be sent to all registrants a few days before the event.

Price:  $5. We also request you contribute to our potluck. Suggestions below.

Event format:  30 min mingling, 60 min High Table Program featuring Dr. John Vidale, 60 min networking and discussion post-talk with potluck refreshments.

About the speaker:

John Vidale is the Dean's Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Southern California.  A noted seismologist, he has worked with seismic waves in many different contexts, from the study of earthquakes to the use of seismic signals to probe the Earth’s inner core.

Dr. Vidale was born in Philadelphia and grew up in several east coast states as well as New Mexico.  He entered Yale intending to go into physics, but soon realized he found geology more fun; he graduated in 1981 with a double BS in Physics and Geology.  He went on to earn a PhD from Caltech in 1986, followed by researcher appointments at UC Santa Cruz and USGS in Menlo Park.  Dr. Vidale joined UCLA as a professor in 1995 where he served as the head of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics from 2002 to 2006.  In 2006, he moved to the University of Washington to direct the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network and serve as the Washington State Seismologist.  Dr. Vidale has been a professor at the University of Southern California since 2017.  He is a former director of the Southern California Earthquake Center, which he led from 2017-2018.

Dr. Vidale has worked on a variety of projects related to earthquakes, Earth structure, volcanoes, and the hazards of strong shaking.  His early work focused on applying numerical methods to study earthquakes, including a widely cited formula for tracking the arrival of seismic wavefronts on a grid.  As the director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, Dr. Vidale monitored the Cascade volcanoes, explored how the area responded to strong shaking, and quantified the impacts on bridges and tall buildings.  He played a key role in the development of the earthquake early warning system used throughout the US west coast.  Dr. Vidale also uses seismic waves to probe the mysteries of the Earth's core; for example, he recently found that the shape of the core is changing over time.

Dr. Vidale has received numerous awards including election to the National Academy of Sciences in 2017, American Geophysical Union's James B. Macelwane Medal in 1994, and USC Dornsife's natural science communicator of the year for 2022-2023.

Book Club:  The Exceptions: Nancy Hopkins, MIT, and the Fight for Women in Science      

by Kate Zernike  

A New York Times Notable Book

“Gripping…one puts down the book inspired by the women’s grit, tenacity, and brilliance.” —Science
“Riveting.” —Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Gene

 

 

In 1963, a female student was attending a lecture given by Nobel Prize winner James Watson, then tenured at Harvard. At nineteen, she was struggling to define her future. She had given herself just ten years to fulfill her professional ambitions before starting the family she was expected to have. For women at that time, a future on the usual path of academic science was unimaginable—but during that lecture, young Nancy Hopkins fell in love with the promise of genetics. Confidently believing science to be a pure meritocracy, she embarked on a career.

 

In 1999, Hopkins, now a noted molecular geneticist and cancer researcher at MIT, divorced and childless, found herself underpaid and denied the credit and resources given to men of lesser rank. Galvanized by the flagrant favoritism, Hopkins led a group of sixteen women on the faculty in a campaign that prompted MIT to make the historic admission that it had long discriminated against its female scientists. The sixteen women were a formidable group: their work has advanced our understanding of everything from cancer to geology, from fossil fuels to the inner workings of the human brain. And their work to highlight what they called “21st-century discrimination”—a subtle, stubborn, often unconscious bias—set off a national reckoning with the pervasive sexism in science.

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist who broke the story, The Exceptions chronicles groundbreaking science and a history-making fight for equal opportunity. It is the “excellent and infuriating” (The New York Times) story of how this group of determined, brilliant women used the power of the collective and the tools of science to inspire ongoing radical change. And it offers an intimate look at the passion that drives discovery, and a rare glimpse into the competitive, hierarchical world of elite science—and the women who dared to challenge it.
