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

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.

The Science of Low Carb Diets: Reversing Diabetes and Enhancing Sports Perfor...Tahoe Silicon Mountain
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.

Haunted by the photo of the body of a 3-year-old refugee washed up on a beach in Greece, Truckee’s Maria Tran decided to do something about it.
First as a volunteer, and next as co-founder of Sea of Solidarity, a nonprofit that supports grassroots humanitarian and educational projects in Greece and Turkey, Tran has taken advantage of technology to save lives, organize relief efforts, raise awareness, and to galvanize people from around the world (including Truckee) to volunteer.
Come hear Tran’s story of running a highly responsive global nonprofit from Truckee, including how she began as a product manager in Silicon Valley and transitioned to Truckee, how she’s been able to involve local students who will be traveling to Greece and how forming partnerships with local entrepreneurs can strengthen Sea of Solidarity’s efforts.

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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
