| Lithium-ion battery supply chain technology development and investment opportunities; Vivas Kumar
Global demand for lithium-ion based applications such as electric vehicles and grid-scale energy storage is expected to grow tremendously over the upcoming decade. This surge in demand has resulted in the announcement of 100+ lithium-ion battery “megafactories” with >2TWh of planned capacity. However, the lack of investment and technology development in the upstream supply chain for lithium, nickel, and cobalt battery-grade chemicals could threaten the industry’s progress. This talk will explore key steps that industry, academia, and governments could undertake to unlock the opportunities in this rapidly growing industrial supply chain. Read More.

| SCCS Speaker Series: Getting to Neutral - Options for Negative Emissions in California, Sarah Baker
California has set the aggressive and vital goal to become carbon neutral by 2045. This means that California must continue on its path to decarbonizing its economy by transitioning to renewable sources of energy and fuel. However, current models predict that these measures alone will not be sufficient to completely decarbonize California’s economy; residual emissions from transportation, in particular, will be difficult to eliminate completely in 25 years. California can counteract these residual emissions with negative emissions: utilizing practices and technologies that directly remove carbon dioxide from the air.
Come hear Sarah Baker, Deputy Group Leader, Lawrence Livermore National Labs and lead author of the study "Getting to Neutral", present the results of this import study for California. Read More.

| Barbara Van Schewick – The Battle to Keep the Internet Open and Free
It’s easy to take for granted that we get to use the websites and apps of our choice – or that anyone, with just a few bucks, can start a website that’s accessible to everyone on the internet. That’s thanks to net neutrality, the longstanding principle that we get to decide how we use the Internet, not the companies we pay to get online. But in 2017, the FCC made a radical decision to eliminate all net neutrality protections. In this talk, we will explore what net neutrality is, why it matters for democracy, innovation and free speech, and where we are in the fight to restore strong protections in the U.S.
Barbara van Schewick is one of the world’s leading experts on net neutrality. Her book Internet Architecture and Innovation is considered the seminal work on the science, economics, and policy of network neutrality. Her work has shaped net neutrality protections in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia, and Europe, and she was the lead expert on California’s landmark 2018 net neutrality law.

| From Occupational Health to Nuclear Safety: A study of the Ongoing Controversy Surrounding Subcontracting
and Precarity at Work in the French Nuclear Industry
This talk examines processes of normalization around radioactivity hazards from the perspective of labor organizations in nuclear facilities. Initially, risks of occupational exposure to radioactivity gave rise to a series of alerts and mobilizations in the first half of the 20th century – particularly in France and the United States. Yet, how can we explain that those issues remained outside public spaces after WWII, even though the number of nuclear workers increased considerably? In that regard, I focus on how the organization of work in nuclear facilities has contributed to the normalization of nuclear risks through a two-fold process. First, by dividing work collectives and secondly, by delegating the most dangerous activities to workers with a precarious employment status. While outsourcing for companies is generally a management tool that increases labor productivity, it is also a technopolitical tool that attempts to manage occupational risks and making them socially invisible. Lastly, I will explore how workers and some of their representatives have considered this issue in two of the main French nuclear facilities.
