At the reception before Ken Carpenter’s talk (”When Nutritionists Go Wrong” — meaning make mistakes) at the UC Berkeley Nutrition Department, I met Lowell Moorcraft, who maintains a calendar of events called Lowell’s Listings. It is a listing of events at or near the UC Berkeley campus that are free or almost free. He compiles it from about 300 sources, he told me. Scanning recent weeks, I was very sorry to see I missed a talk by Reed Hundt. There should be an emoticon for kicks oneself in the head. He spoke at Google last year. To make up for missing the Berkeley talk, I’ll watch it again.
