(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) Smartfin is a surfboard fin that allows scientists to collect data about the ocean with the help of surfers around the world. The project brings together engineers from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and students from the Computer Science and Engineering department at UC San Diego. Traditionally, it has been difficult to collect data near the shore because waves damage any instruments researchers place in the water. But, Smartfin turns that challenge into an advantage by enlisting the help of the surfing community. Series: "The Computer Science Channel" [Show ID: 34350]

Virtually everything we’ve been taught about solving hunger is wrong--all the food we need to end hunger is already in our communities every day. Vince debunks traditional approaches and their environmental impacts and introduces the concept of effective food rescue programs that will end hunger and help save the planet. Vince Hall is the CEO of Feeding San Diego, the county’s leading hunger relief agency and a member of Feeding America. Hunger is a daily struggle for an eighth of San Diegans, including 127,000 children. Under Vince’s leadership, Feeding San Diego is innovating creative new approaches to rescuing healthy food which would otherwise go to waste, and using it to provide over 25 million meals per year across the county. Vince has extensive nonprofit and public sector management experience, including serving as Staff Director for Governor Gray Davis. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication from San Diego State University and a law degree from Thomas Jefferson School of Law.
