<p class="MsoPlainText">Earlier this year Herbert J. Bernstein,
Professor of Physics at Hampshire College was selected as the
2013 Five College Jackie Pritzen Lecturer. On Tuesday April 2,
at 5 p.m. at Hampshire College, East Lecture Hall, Dr.
Bernstein will give his lecture entitled “SuperDense Quantum
Teleportation: Sciences for the 21st century, service to
society and the roles of the ISIS Institute at Hampshire
College.”
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Herb Bernstein is an engaging
speaker, a Quantum Teleportation expert & excellent
teacher who wonders out loud about the uses and effects of new
knowledge. What should we do when we discover – nay, prove –
that the objects of investigation in science are actually
created by our inquiry? How does one effectively go beyond
value-free notions without destroying the validity of our
knowledge, while avoiding the replacement of truth by
truthiness and preventing displacement of science with
self-interested bias?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>For over twenty years, the ISIS
institute has undertaken inquiry to grapple with finding a
moral epistemology in the real world environment of projects
ranging from studies of genomics to cleaning military nuclear
and toxic wastes, using Westover Field as a test case. With
efforts in the biological, social and physical sciences --
projects based at home and in the third world, community
collaborators and science-studiers as well as scientists, ISIS
has served as a modern house of experiments in developing
reconstructive knowledge. The goal is a way of knowing that
incorporates lessons from the 20th-century proven limits to
knowledge, the lived fact of social and human interactions in
all knowledge workers' lives and the problems of economic
systems.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Bernstein is professor of
Physics and president of the ISIS institute for Science and
Interdisciplinary Studies at Hampshire College. He is a Fellow
of the American Physical Society; was science policy
consultant to the World Bank, to AAAS (on international
science) and to the President's Science Adviser, as well as a
Kellogg Foundation National Leadership Fellow. A post-doctoral
Member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Herb
is now Emeritus Trustee of the IAS Alumni Board. Herb's work
in science has helped launch two fields, neutron
interferometry and quantum information science -- especially
by proposing completely DO-able experiments with
anti-intuitive outcomes that strikingly illuminate key points
of qauntum theory. The fourth such experiment is now underway
with NASA funding: SuperDense Teleportation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Herb's efforts in "Pursuit of Simplicity"
won the Sigma Xi Procter Prize (for explaining science to
public audiences) with Victor Weisskopf in 1984. Much more
recently, as a co-founder of Anacapa Society for theoretical
and computational physicists, he helps promote, support and
encourage their research conducted at four-year colleges and
universities.<o:p></o:p></p>
