Dear Colleagues,
As we begin a new year, I wanted to send you a reminder about the IT Project Management Policy for UC Berkeley which took effect on Jan. 1, 2017. If you have not recently reviewed the policy, please take some time to read it so you understand the project conditions that invoke the policy and what requirements you need to meet in order to adhere to the policy.

How might one measure the social cost of carbon? This is the question that brought more than 20 climate scientists, economists, data analysts, engineers, and researchers together at the Climate Impact Lab. With members from UC Berkeley, the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago, the Rhodium Group, and Rutgers University, the Lab formed out of an assessment that it is critically necessary to understand how climate change affects the United States in social and economic terms.
Reminder: We hope to see you at the Open Seminar tomorrow, Thursday, Feb. 1, in Sibley Auditorium at 10:30 a.m. with pizza to follow!

The Internal Revenue Service has reported a big spike in phishing and malware incidents during the 2016 and 2017 tax seasons. Taxpayers should continue to watch out for fake emails or websites looking to steal personal information during the upcoming 2018 filing season.

To our campus community,
As has been reported widely in the news, there are key security vulnerabilities for computers, phones, and tablets using major brand CPU processors, including Intel and AMD. Microsoft and Apple computer platforms are affected, as well as Android and iOS phone platforms. These vulnerabilities open the door to the possibility that passwords and other data could be stolen from your devices. The vulnerabilities affect the operating systems, web browsers, and firmware (software that the computer hardware has built into it).
