Tahoe Silicon Mountain, a network of entrepreneurs and professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee area, is pleased to welcome Stephen Phinney, MD, PhD to present at Mountain Minds Monday: The science of low carb diets: reversing diabetes and enhancing sports performance While low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets have recently gained popularity, problems with proper formulation and adherence have overshadowed the scientifically-supported improvements shown for both health and sports performance. Dr. Stephen Phinney, MD, PhD, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer at Virta Health, will explain how when well-formulated ketogenic diets are combined with virtual continuous care, compliance is high and the risks and expense associated with type 2 diabetes can be reduced. He’ll also discuss how the research supports the use of the ketogenic diet for ultra-endurance competitive athletes who do not thrive on the traditional carbohydrate-loading approach to the sport. Dr. Phinney has spent 40 years studying diet and exercise, has published over 80 papers and 4 books. He received his MD from Stanford University, PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry from MIT, and did post-doctoral training at the University of Vermont and at Harvard. Mountain Minds Monday will be held on Monday, July 9th from 6-8 pm at Pizza on the Hill, in Tahoe Donner located at 11509 Northwoods Blvd., Truckee. Pizza and salad is available and we use a pay-what-you-can model ($5 minimum). Before and after the presentation, there will be time for networking. The event will also be livestreamed and available online as it happens on YouTube: bit.ly/YouTubeTSM This month’s event is sponsored by New Leaders, Holland & Hart LLP, Molsby & Bordner, LLP, and Mountain Workspace.

Self-Flying Drones: On a Mission to Navigate Dark, Dangerous and Unknown WorldsTahoe Silicon Mountain
http://tahoesiliconmountain.com/
Tahoe Silicon Mountain, a network of entrepreneurs and professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee area, is pleased to welcome Dr. Christos Papachristos to present at Mountain Minds Monday: “Self-Flying Drones: On a Mission to Navigate Dark, Dangerous and Unknown Worlds”
Even with all our current technical advances, dangerous and unpleasant jobs are still a part of modern life. Imagine a world where flying robots could be used to navigate in any environment, under any possible conditions, and complete risky tasks that humans currently perform.
Dr. Christos Papachristos, Post-Doc Researcher at the Autonomous Robots Lab at University of Nevada, Reno, will be speaking about how, without the benefit of GPS or previously mapped environments, drones can be used in beyond line-of-sight operation to autonomously navigate, map and explore dark and dusty, partially sealed or underground, and generally visually-degraded environments like mines or nuclear waste sites.
Dr. Papachristos will discuss the use of regular cameras with flashers, inertial sensors, 3D-structure time-of-flight cameras combined with infrared cameras, ionizing radiation detectors, and the logic behind the algorithms that guide the drones on their missions.

Improving Artificial Intelligence by Studying the Brain
Tahoe Silicon Mountain, a network of technology professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee area, is pleased to welcome Gunnar Newquist to present: “Improving Artificial Intelligence by Studying the Brain”
Current artificial intelligence (AI) only works with big data and lots of processing power, and it only delivers a solution for the particular problem for which it was designed. The next revolution in AI, called artificial general intelligence, is for a machine to learn, plan, and acquire new skills in complex environments.
Gunnar Newquist, CEO of Brain2Bot, received his Ph.D. in Molecular Neuroscience at the University of Nevada, Reno and went on to found Brain2Bot, which is using principles of intelligence derived from neuroscience to build artificial general intelligence.
Newquist will discuss how neuroscience can help us deliver AI that is both safe and effective and how some of the biggest advances in AI have been inspired by advances in neuroscience.

Tahoe Silicon Mountain, a network of technology professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee area, is pleased to welcome Scott Summit to present: “3D Printing for Humans: Medical, Food and Space Applications.”
Newly available 3D printing tools mean that many of the methods we’ve used to improve human lives through development of prosthetics, casts, exoskeletons and more can be completely reconsidered.
These new technologies lend themselves not only to new approaches to problem solving, but also to new business models that allow the integration of design, medicine and technology. As a result of this, more meaningful and individualized solutions are being created.
Summit will explore applications where combinations of 3D printing and 3D scanning are applied, such as limb loss, scoliosis and exo-skeletal robotics. Next-generation applications, such as 3D printing in space, and the printing of food will also be discussed.
Scott Summit, Senior Director of Design at 3D Systems, which acquired the company he founded, Bespoke Innovations, in 2012, is a 3-time TEDx speaker. Summit’s designs have won international recognition and his clients have included Apple and Nike. Summit’s designs can be seen at the Cooper Hewitt Museum in NYC, where 10 products will be shown until May 2015.

Tahoe Silicon Mountain, a network of entrepreneurs and professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee area, is pleased to welcome Dr. Christos Papachristos to present at Mountain Minds Monday: “Self-Flying Drones: On a Mission to Navigate Dark, Dangerous and Unknown Worlds”
Even with all our current technical advances, dangerous and unpleasant jobs are still a part of modern life. Imagine a world where flying robots could be used to navigate in any environment, under any possible conditions, and complete risky tasks that humans currently perform.
Dr. Christos Papachristos, Post-Doc Researcher at the Autonomous Robots Lab at University of Nevada, Reno, will be speaking about how, without the benefit of GPS or previously mapped environments, drones can be used in beyond line-of-sight operation to autonomously navigate, map and explore dark and dusty, partially sealed or underground, and generally visually-degraded environments like mines or nuclear waste sites.
Dr. Papachristos will discuss the use of regular cameras with flashers, inertial sensors, 3D-structure time-of-flight cameras combined with infrared cameras, ionizing radiation detectors, and the logic behind the algorithms that guide the drones on their missions.

Current artificial intelligence (AI) only works with big data and lots of processing power, and it only delivers a solution for the particular problem for which it was designed. The next revolution in AI, called artificial general intelligence, is for a machine to learn, plan, and acquire new skills in complex environments.
Gunnar Newquist, CEO of Brain2Bot, received his Ph.D. in Molecular Neuroscience at the University of Nevada, Reno and went on to found Brain2Bot, which is using principles of intelligence derived from neuroscience to build artificial general intelligence.
Newquist will discuss how neuroscience can help us deliver AI that is both safe and effective and how some of the biggest advances in AI have been inspired by advances in neuroscience.
You can learn more about Newquist and his business here: www.brain2bot.com
The meeting will be on Monday, October 10th, 6-8 pm at Pizza on the Hill, in Tahoe Donner at 11509 Northwoods Blvd., Truckee. A $5 fee includes pizza and salad. Before and after the presentation, there will be time for networking with other technology professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee region.

Tahoe Silicon Mountain, a network of technology professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee area, is pleased to welcome Morgan Goodwin and Stephen Hoyt to present: ”How You Can Be a Change Agent: Learn from the Creators of Truckee’s New Makerspace.”
A throw-away culture, our degrading environment, a competitive global economy, a lack of vocational educational opportunities, and a need for skills and tools to create the things that can bring vibrancy and prosperity to our area - these are just some of the reasons behind the creation of the Truckee Roundhouse, Truckee’s makerspace opening this summer.
Learn how the team identified a community need, brought people together to solve it, and why sometimes it just takes grit to make your idea a reality.
Morgan Goodwin, chair of the Truckee Roundhouse and vice mayor of the Town of Truckee, and Stephen Hoyt, a board member of the Roundhouse and owner of Imagitech will talk about their exciting experience of organizing a group of people around a goal by telling their story of starting the Truckee Roundhouse makerspace.

Not Just for Programmers: How Hackathons Change Communities (or Even the World)Tahoe Silicon Mountain
Tahoe Silicon Mountain, a network of technology professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee area, is pleased to welcome Joe Chavez to present: “Not Just for Programmers: How Hackathons Change Communities (or Even the World).”
If you’ve heard of a hackathon, you might imagine teams of programmers writing code. However, more recently, hackathons have drawn participants from multiple disciplines, including design, project management, business and engineering, who share an interest in a common theme, such as technology, civics or the environment. Teams engage in creative thinking to lay the foundation for solutions to the challenges presented at the hackathon.
Joe Chavez is the president of STEAM Initiative, a non-profit focused on science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics education initiatives and an organizer of the Reno Space Apps Hackathon, which is put on in association with NASA. Chavez will speak about why hackathons are good for growing a sense of community and how you can participate no matter your skillset.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnataka
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
