Launched in fall 2006, the Physical Sciences and Engineering Program (PS&E) provides a novel and critical forum for the exchange of new ideas and data in emerging interdisciplinary areas. Within the PS&E program, green science and sustainability is a major focus with the mission to advance the scientific discussion and understanding of environmental issues facing our society. Join this new community of scientists, engineers, and other key stakeholders at the Academy. Jan 21, 2009 • 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM Speakers: Mark Duvall, Electric Power Research Institute; Arthur Kressner, Con Edison; Richard Drake, NYSERDA. Moderator: Bernard Tuchman Sponsored by: Green Science and Environmental Systems, a PS&E program An enormous investment is now being made to develop and produce plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) to help shift on-road transportation away from petroleum. This meeting will explore what New York City must do to smooth the transition to PHEV. Jan 29, 2009 • 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM Speakers: Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz, National Institutes of Health; Maribel Vazquez, The City College of the City University of New York; Charles D.
