It isn\u2019t often that scientists discover a new form of the most common material on the planet \u2013 that can revolutionize fundamentally how very basic aspects of human life \u2013 like our healthcare \u2013 will be understood in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But our TransitionTalks speaker for June, Dr. Gerald Pollack, has done just that.\u00a0 Dr. Pollack is the leader of a team that has discovered a fourth state of water \u2013 not liquid, solid or gas, but a kind of gel . . . that it turns out is everywhere!\u00a0 It makes up all of our cells, clouds, saps in plants . . . and no one ever knew that it had fundamentally different characteristics from ice, water or water vapor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This new water (Dr. Pollack and his team call it Exclusion Zone water \u2013 or EZ water) has extraordinary characteristics.\u00a0 For instance, it can act like a little generator and can produce enough electricity to light LEDs! \u00a0Just connect wires to the EZ water and the substrate that is next to it. \u00a0Think self-powered biotechnology (like a heart monitor), that you wear and never have to change the battery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

EZ water can also be used to produce highly purified, filtered water \u2013 like removing the salt and other materials from sea water \u2013 by only using the energy from the sun.\u00a0 No batteries or external energy source required!<\/p>\n

And you probably didn\u2019t know that you\u2019ve been looking at EZ water all of your life . . . because every cloud is made up of this newly discovered material. \u00a0Better understanding the characteristics could easily translate into a far better understanding of our atmosphere, weather and even, perhaps climate.<\/p>\n

Although it certainly is Nobel Prize-worthy science, the story and applications of EZ water are very interesting and easy to understand.\u00a0 And Dr. Pollack is a delightful speaker who tells the story of how they discovered it and what the extraordinary implications are, in a very delightful way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The discovery of EZ water is a really big deal that will dramatically shape our understanding of the emergent new world. \u00a0You\u2019ll go away from this presentation with a really new perspective on how we and the life around us actually works.\u00a0 And you\u2019ll get an early peek at what\u2019s on the horizon headed this way.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Additionally, a book dealing with this subject is now available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Gerald Pollack received his PhD in biomedical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. He then joined the University of Washington faculty and is now professor of Bioengineering. He is also Founding Editor-in-Chief of the journal, WATER, convener of the Annual Conference on the Physics, Chemistry and Biology of Water, and Executive Director of the Institute for Venture Science.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

His interests have ranged broadly, from biological motion and cell biology to the interaction of biological surfaces with aqueous solutions. His 1990 book, Muscles and Molecules: Uncovering the Principles of Biological Motion, won an \u201cExcellence Award\u201d from the Society for Technical Communication. His 2001 book, Cells, Gels and the Engines of Life, and his newest book, The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor won that Society\u2019s \u201cDistinguished Award,\u201d their highest distinction. The latter book went on to receive the World Summit Excellence Award.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Pollack received an honorary doctorate in 2002 from Ural State University in Ekaterinburg, Russia, and was more recently named an Honorary Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and foreign member and Academician of the Srpska Academy. He received the Biomedical Engineering Society\u2019s Distinguished Lecturer Award in 2002. In 2008, his colleagues chose him as the recipient of his university\u2019s highest annual distinction: the UW Faculty Lecturer Award.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Pollack is a Founding Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering and a Fellow of both the American Heart Association and the Biomedical Engineering Society. He received an NIH Director\u2019s Transformative R01 Award. He was the 2012 recipient of the Prigogine Medal for thermodynamics of dissipative systems, and in 2014 he received the Scientific Excellence Award from the World Academy of Neural Therapy, as well as the Dinsdale Prize from the Society for Scientific Exploration. He has presented two TEDx talks on water.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

In 2015, he won the BrandLaureate Award, previously bestowed on notables such as Nelson Mandela, Hillary Clinton and Steve Jobs. In 2016 he was awarded the Emoto Inaugural Peace Prize, and more recently the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Chappell Natural Philosophy Society. He appears briefly in the 2016 Travis Rice sports-action film, The Fourth Phase, named after his recent book. And, he is included in the 2019 listing, OOOM Magazine, as one of the \u201cWorld\u2019s 100 Most Inspiring People.\u201d In 2020, he presented his work at the \u201cMajlis\u201d by invitation from the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, at his Royal Palace.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
