1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,250
It's and start when you're ready, and I
will give you five minutes of that before

2
00:00:05,250 --> 00:00:06,090
the end of your talk.

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,970
Okay. Thanks a lot. I hope you hear me
well.

4
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:14,880
Yes, we hear you. Well, we are waiting to
see your slides.

5
00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:17,940
Yeah, share my screen.

6
00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:23,670
We see them here.

7
00:00:25,170 --> 00:00:27,390
Okay, let's put the video to gaining
method.

8
00:00:29,130 --> 00:00:34,950
So I'm here today, I'm very glad, for me
been invited for this talk by the

9
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:41,460
organizer. And it's specific, especially
Bruno, that is a friend since many years.

10
00:00:42,810 --> 00:00:48,690
Your decision of leaving this conference
online was quite bold, and I see that the

11
00:00:48,690 --> 00:00:55,320
pace very well. So it's very good. Very
happy to be here. So in fact, CERN has

12
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:02,040
decided the Toronto in sixth of March to
establish us So this was established to

13
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,900
collect and coordinate ideas that we
weren't already starting to receive from

14
00:01:06,930 --> 00:01:10,530
our community from the scientific
community, of course, so the 17,000 people

15
00:01:10,530 --> 00:01:17,280
would write, but also from individuals,
people from society that was asking if

16
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,220
ascend could help and giving ideas for
possible. So we decided to put together

17
00:01:23,220 --> 00:01:30,240
this taskforce to collect these ideas to
see what we could do, of course, in a

18
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:36,480
humble way, drawing on our expertise and
the facilities that we have at CERN, and

19
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,010
in the member state count wrists, and
we'll see how we could we could contribute

20
00:01:41,010 --> 00:01:46,260
to society. So essentially, main messages
certainly here certainly is present to the

21
00:01:46,260 --> 00:01:51,450
society and research in other fields in
this very difficult time. So therefore,

22
00:01:51,450 --> 00:01:58,290
the task force was here, just a few
members of the task force is about just

23
00:01:58,290 --> 00:02:04,650
beyond the 2020 Members, they come from
all over the senate speciality. So, if you

24
00:02:04,650 --> 00:02:11,070
want so to have a multi culture I moved
in, but I had expertise and also from of

25
00:02:11,070 --> 00:02:15,990
course, from the experiments each from
from each of the four major religious

26
00:02:16,110 --> 00:02:22,800
spending. So as I said, the passport is as
a multidisciplinary composition, this is a

27
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,290
very good element is a key element, in
fact that has been enabled, that enabled

28
00:02:28,290 --> 00:02:33,360
us to receive the ideas to be receptive to
this idea and see how we could contribute

29
00:02:34,020 --> 00:02:40,170
for for this for this idea that we saved.
So several colleagues that are not

30
00:02:40,170 --> 00:02:44,550
officially in tax force have been
extremely active. I mean, we count that

31
00:02:44,550 --> 00:02:50,700
beyond the composition of passports around
250 to 200 people have been active in

32
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:56,160
working with us and this has allowed an
enormous acceleration of initiatives.

33
00:02:56,670 --> 00:03:03,630
Finally, short routes to result making
Emergency decisions for immediate help to

34
00:03:03,630 --> 00:03:10,170
the neighbors. That was really the society
around us but also then larger view

35
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:16,560
initiatives that are in support of our
researchers, and also in unexplored

36
00:03:16,650 --> 00:03:22,320
territories like community leaders. I will
tell you today a bit about all this, this

37
00:03:22,350 --> 00:03:30,660
work that we have. So in fact, we received
about 300 of the mail exchanges we got

38
00:03:30,660 --> 00:03:36,930
about 100 initiatives proposed somewhat
duplication of others but in essence, we

39
00:03:36,930 --> 00:03:41,730
do something divided this into three
categories. So medical applications and

40
00:03:41,730 --> 00:03:47,850
you will see something about ventilators
according to society, so mainly for PPS

41
00:03:47,850 --> 00:03:54,900
and for sanitizing, either off chronic
solution, but also to logistic support and

42
00:03:54,900 --> 00:04:03,990
also to, you will see is a big chapter or
now to stabilize So, masks for example, to

43
00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:11,670
avoid increasing the amount of crashes and
then last but larger variety of

44
00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:16,770
initiatives in the field of computing and
data analysis. So, this water as you can

45
00:04:16,770 --> 00:04:23,070
imagine, based on the folding at home
around on on the seven platforms but also

46
00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:31,740
on the general adoption of the mobile as a
platform for open data for science. So let

47
00:04:31,740 --> 00:04:37,920
me go through the ventilators. So, HTTP so
is the high energy physics immunity

48
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,690
ventilator is a versatile a low cost high
quality ventilator that has been developed

49
00:04:42,690 --> 00:04:51,120
at sur starting from a core group in DHCP
experiments but then joined immediately by

50
00:04:52,830 --> 00:04:59,160
CERN but joined by the other universities.
Liverpool, FL, Rio de Janeiro some

51
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:06,810
terrible state leak if Manchester crack of
Riga Tech University often back so there

52
00:05:06,810 --> 00:05:11,100
was really a big group of people working
on this. The idea, of course was

53
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:15,990
stimulated by the emergency by the fact
that ventilators is something that was in

54
00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:23,130
short supply in the seventh countries, and
also looking at the future for countries

55
00:05:23,130 --> 00:05:28,830
that are in the low income settings for
helping them to get some inexpensive

56
00:05:28,830 --> 00:05:35,280
ventilator, with that is easy to
manufacture. So three prototypes were

57
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:39,780
built, as you can see here in the picture,
this is one of the prototypes. It has a

58
00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:45,930
touch screen you see, in the in the middle
of this buffer that is one of the main

59
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:51,180
feature of this ventilator, I don't have
time to go through any things but this

60
00:05:51,180 --> 00:05:57,150
buffer allows us to precisely monitor and
define the pressure in output. So that

61
00:05:57,180 --> 00:06:03,870
this can be regulated in a very precise
Wait for the patient, it supports various

62
00:06:03,870 --> 00:06:10,260
types of ventilation that are similar to
the ones that are available in commercial

63
00:06:10,260 --> 00:06:16,050
insulators. But it is much much simpler
and as you can see, the number of

64
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:22,380
components is not very large and then
there is this printer secret board that

65
00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:28,110
essentially hosts a microcontroller in the
microcomputer that allowed to have the

66
00:06:28,140 --> 00:06:34,470
human interface with the machine and also
to have all the controls that are needed

67
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:42,870
Of course for disability I availability
kind of applications. As you can see, the

68
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:47,490
timeline has been impressive. So the first
idea started the village the first work

69
00:06:47,490 --> 00:06:54,150
started on March 27. By the end of April
this was finished and now we are in a in a

70
00:06:54,150 --> 00:06:57,600
situation in which essentially we are
looking at the market we are looking at

71
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:04,050
the possible industrial after set bring
this to the to the next steps. So, the

72
00:07:04,050 --> 00:07:09,990
prototyping has been completed. We also
gain support for software organization and

73
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:15,120
also to put in lists are we who with which
we have been discussing extensively in

74
00:07:15,150 --> 00:07:20,280
several fields to the mechanical
ventilator Milano that is also from the

75
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,890
energy physics this came from, from an
initiative of from The Global African

76
00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:31,770
backmarker collaboration that essentially
in this difficult time started with under

77
00:07:31,770 --> 00:07:36,810
60 collaborators, 60 students and nine
companies. So, the third partners

78
00:07:36,810 --> 00:07:43,470
immediately in the game to develop these
ventilators and they obtain the emergency

79
00:07:43,470 --> 00:07:48,570
use authorization from the Food and Drug
Administration on May 1. Also, in this

80
00:07:48,570 --> 00:07:55,080
case, impressive timeline for the project
was conceived on March 19. It was

81
00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:01,290
essentially already tested 10 days after
in ospital was hosting a call with

82
00:08:01,290 --> 00:08:07,200
patients and then on May 1, we got to the
accreditation from the FDA we have been

83
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:14,400
also supporting especially for mechanical
components, a very simple project that

84
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,950
that is very easy to operate is
essentially a bag like the ones that they

85
00:08:19,950 --> 00:08:26,010
use on ambulance so that they are
typically manipulated manually to to

86
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:31,830
ventilate patients, but this in this case
with the two stepper motors and this is

87
00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:38,910
extremely low cost object that nonetheless
supports a lot of multiple ventilation and

88
00:08:38,940 --> 00:08:45,030
and this is very promising for places
where the resources are very low because

89
00:08:45,030 --> 00:08:51,390
this is very easy to assemble and very
cheap. But then you have to come so now,

90
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,670
this was emergency now we are also looking
a bit at the at this moment. In this

91
00:08:56,670 --> 00:09:02,280
moment. We have a lot of usage of masks
everywhere. And we haven't got the request

92
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:08,310
from several institutions and from from
people to see how we could reuse masks.

93
00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:13,500
And so one big chapter of this is the
provider with light disinfection. So this

94
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:18,780
is far we've got a violet in the one to
280 nanometers, so it's quite energetic.

95
00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:26,190
You be like, this is not something new, we
know that you'd be like and essentially

96
00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:32,850
necrotizing cells and this, this is
essentially what we are looking for.

97
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:38,670
As I said, you'd be like this not
something new. You see here a Bhasin shung

98
00:09:38,670 --> 00:09:46,320
guide that is completely sanitized by by
UV lamps. So for this reason, ATMs have

99
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:52,500
been developmental of these boxes in which
there are several mercury vapor paste

100
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:59,970
lamps, and that these boxes are meant to
be used for studying digital tools. Me

101
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,270
Whatever you whatever you want and masks,
but then, so, we developed together with

102
00:10:06,270 --> 00:10:11,100
the company a small box in which
essentially you can recognize one of these

103
00:10:11,430 --> 00:10:17,340
such masks that are so frequently seen
nowadays around and this is something that

104
00:10:17,340 --> 00:10:22,980
we have developed and we just received it
sir and we will exploit for having some

105
00:10:22,980 --> 00:10:28,440
tests to see if this can become a tool
that is cheap and readily available, but

106
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:35,730
can make masks reusable. Of course,
serving we looked also given the issue

107
00:10:35,730 --> 00:10:42,030
with cobalt 60 cobalt 60 and semi tissue
electro beams, the idea is the same is out

108
00:10:42,030 --> 00:10:43,140
to reuse

109
00:10:44,460 --> 00:10:49,770
essentially peepees adding them suddenly
in in this way.

110
00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:57,240
We also looked at the 3d printed masks
these are muscular build with a 3d

111
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:05,520
printer. They have a center on the plugin
objects that allow essentially to to put

112
00:11:06,090 --> 00:11:13,320
several type of filters it can arrive at
even to the FFP to kind of filtration

113
00:11:14,310 --> 00:11:21,420
standard and is completely washable. There
has been in fact also some development by

114
00:11:21,420 --> 00:11:27,870
the sandbox group to have a washable
Empire playground that build filters that

115
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:33,090
they essentially make this mask to be
completely reusable. So, of course, 3d

116
00:11:33,090 --> 00:11:39,810
printing is very slow. We have now moved
with the two building with a 3d printer

117
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,100
Oles where we can inject silicone and
essentially now we are looking for

118
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:48,630
possible partners because there is quite
some interest for also for this approach.

119
00:11:49,830 --> 00:11:54,720
Okay, now, the other point on the
rehabilitation of mask is coating so you

120
00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:02,370
can pass the guy who's used coating for UV
light treatment. This subject is component

121
00:12:02,370 --> 00:12:10,110
is called the liquid glass essentially,
silicone dioxide solution in water. This

122
00:12:10,110 --> 00:12:16,230
makes a very thin coating on glass that is
supplied by aerosol spray or deeping. The

123
00:12:16,260 --> 00:12:23,400
mask into this solution is hydrophobic and
the octopus you understand that it

124
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:29,130
protects you from droplets of water salts.
But there is also possibility to add an

125
00:12:29,130 --> 00:12:36,000
antiviral agent in the matrix to allow
even further protection. So, this is a

126
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:42,270
very interesting object. This material
does not make the mask to be stiffer, it's

127
00:12:42,270 --> 00:12:46,980
very flexible, it's breathable. So we are
looking into these kind of things to see

128
00:12:47,070 --> 00:12:53,250
again in the field over reusing the
protection that we would have to wear

129
00:12:53,280 --> 00:13:01,440
every day. Okay, another chapter as being
the production of sanitized So sanitizer

130
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,120
according to the who of ICP that has been
the producer selling the chemical lab of

131
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:12,270
the vacuum group, we have produced 10,000
liters to date and the 6000 they'll be

132
00:13:12,270 --> 00:13:18,810
donated to the local community you can see
a very rare picture of a military track on

133
00:13:18,810 --> 00:13:28,260
the same site loading 10,000 meters this
solution and then we have at the also a

134
00:13:28,260 --> 00:13:34,410
very interesting phase in which we started
to produce this phase shifts phase shift

135
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:41,130
that we have in three different types. The
type one is completely manually built a

136
00:13:41,130 --> 00:13:46,560
second guy but like two is by injection
molding, and then type three that is also

137
00:13:47,310 --> 00:13:53,070
completely manual that is adapted to the
to the elements. It has been developed in

138
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:59,970
CMS. This became a really a factory for
the fish eat up one we produced 15,000

139
00:14:00,030 --> 00:14:06,960
shoots in in quite a little time. With any
impressive increase of the rate of

140
00:14:06,990 --> 00:14:13,440
production per day we base past the from
50 per day to thousand per day. And the

141
00:14:13,470 --> 00:14:19,170
more than 10,000 sheets have been donated
that some are reserved for some usage for

142
00:14:19,170 --> 00:14:25,260
TV stuff. I finish up the areas to
computing computing has been very

143
00:14:25,260 --> 00:14:30,690
important for fighting COVID and we have
received requests from researchers outside

144
00:14:30,690 --> 00:14:34,800
of AI energy physics for this. So of
course as you can imagine, have been

145
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:40,380
contributed for the motto but with the
great results when we started we bought

146
00:14:42,420 --> 00:14:51,570
position 160 out of this 160 thousand
teams worldwide. We are now 31st but for

147
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:57,690
sure in this moment while I speak. We have
increased this we were fifth in May out of

148
00:14:57,690 --> 00:15:03,810
more than this to under 50,000 tips. So
this has been a great contribution. For

149
00:15:03,810 --> 00:15:09,570
this, we deployed the 15,000 cores
together with the other cores from the

150
00:15:09,570 --> 00:15:14,250
experiments. But then we started to eat.
But we have seen the sense that the

151
00:15:14,250 --> 00:15:21,060
centers were not able to feed the queue
for processing fast enough. So that's why

152
00:15:21,060 --> 00:15:28,560
CERN has teamed up with other IoT physics
labs to deploy Rocio and FDS that use for

153
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:33,480
data management and in this way, given the
possibility for being a tool to be more

154
00:15:33,540 --> 00:15:39,690
effective in feeding the computing course
put available. So

155
00:15:41,010 --> 00:15:41,550
yes,

156
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:51,600
Senado is been very, very popular two plus
nodes and all the resources at CERN is

157
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:58,950
part of the CERN open data portal. We have
we have a really an increase in requests

158
00:15:58,980 --> 00:16:03,330
for Australia. Thanks and although from
folding a dog but from a variety of

159
00:16:03,330 --> 00:16:10,560
researchers we'll see in a moment some
some examples and looking for example on

160
00:16:10,710 --> 00:16:16,680
on buying there a popular notebook
execution framework. Nowadays it shows at

161
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:22,830
15 difference in auto base flows, that is
mean big success and they are all

162
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:30,930
connected to the core. So, example data
set when we go from medical type of

163
00:16:30,930 --> 00:16:36,060
application biological, but also about the
standardization and the transport

164
00:16:36,060 --> 00:16:41,610
logistics This is something that they've
been quite, quite interesting we are in

165
00:16:41,610 --> 00:16:47,220
discussion now with who because they have
the problem of studying the supply chain

166
00:16:47,250 --> 00:16:53,040
disruption because of the cobit and they
also will be Austin with data in a lot.

167
00:16:54,510 --> 00:16:59,580
So, they're being open access data
initiatives. So initiative certainly

168
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:07,410
Concerning biological aspects and also
concerning social economical aspects with

169
00:17:07,410 --> 00:17:16,140
governments lab to see how to the COVID
has impacted in several fields of our

170
00:17:16,140 --> 00:17:23,880
life. So, here are just two examples. So,
we who, with the emergency and disaster

171
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:30,690
risk management, we are looking at the
support on data architecture limitation

172
00:17:30,690 --> 00:17:34,680
for risk analysis and supply chain
management. I was I was mentioning before

173
00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:40,440
and we need diversity Bocconi on the right
you see, first example of data aggregation

174
00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:45,990
coming from data coming from several
sources to build a map for the problems in

175
00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:53,370
this case equally, but this will be the
worldwide and to see how the, the effect

176
00:17:53,370 --> 00:17:57,360
of the problem is on the session. So,
socio economical aspect.

177
00:17:58,650 --> 00:17:59,970
So, here you see

178
00:18:01,260 --> 00:18:06,060
Examples also video logical simulation
that is by a dynamo. That is a

179
00:18:06,060 --> 00:18:11,700
collaboration that is based also at CERN,
the University of Geneva. And on the

180
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:16,980
right, you see, some simulation have been
done by CERN, the pH department

181
00:18:16,980 --> 00:18:24,480
colleagues. These are petition there are
many. And it's one of the aspects of the

182
00:18:24,540 --> 00:18:30,000
of this of this work. So what is the long
term impact on this? Well, we have a base

183
00:18:30,030 --> 00:18:35,280
a lot of relations with organizations,
both in high energy physics and outside

184
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:42,870
energy physics, with who with the
biological labs, so this has strengthened

185
00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:50,940
even more our our collaborations and our
community seamless and we seen as a

186
00:18:50,940 --> 00:18:58,440
reference for, especially for open data
open science. So we have learned a lot and

187
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:03,300
this lessons are being shared With the
other organizations, as I said, especially

188
00:19:03,330 --> 00:19:09,840
who given also our our closeness in
Geneva, but also with the World Economic

189
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:16,680
Forum now beyond the emergency so that's
for us allowed sim to provide emergency

190
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:22,080
now this is a model of working that for
sure we remain part of the surf culture we

191
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:28,920
can learn from as happened are we reacted
and also to be prepared to respond even

192
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,690
better in future. So, you know, landscape
is really changing that is worldwide

193
00:19:33,780 --> 00:19:38,700
response to this to this emergency that
has been outstanding and they've been

194
00:19:38,940 --> 00:19:44,430
inputs from all parts of research, not
only high energy physics, of course, so

195
00:19:44,430 --> 00:19:51,060
concluded. So we responded at CERN with
this task force joining a worldwide effort

196
00:19:51,060 --> 00:19:55,530
to the scientific community as I was
mentioning a second ago, we assured that

197
00:19:55,530 --> 00:20:03,840
we will look at this not for Bolton we had
the barrage Your ideas that is so high,

198
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:09,960
and also soy quality that we prevented
many, but we have still some in our

199
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:16,410
pipeline to be connected. Certainly this
emergency has increased our contact with

200
00:20:16,410 --> 00:20:21,660
social media society and also research in
other fields. And of course, I have a deep

201
00:20:21,660 --> 00:20:26,760
cut for all the members of the Black Swan
second colleague has said, we are about

202
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:33,750
150 200 person I've been working on this,
because this really was important to make

203
00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:39,900
this a success. So we take our best up, we
will continue diligence is not over. And

204
00:20:39,930 --> 00:20:41,880
we are still in operation.

205
00:20:46,050 --> 00:20:50,460
Thank you very much for this really
excellent summary and also for all of the

206
00:20:50,460 --> 00:20:53,910
you know, important work that everybody is
doing in this area. It's really impressive

207
00:20:53,910 --> 00:20:54,540
to see that.

208
00:20:55,409 --> 00:21:02,129
So I open the floor now for questions.
He's raising See your hands and zoom or

209
00:21:02,609 --> 00:21:04,649
put a message in the chat window?

210
00:21:06,810 --> 00:21:13,350
Yes. While we are waiting, I can ask. I
mean, you talked off several important

211
00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:19,140
projects. I was wondering if there was one
in particular that you thought was really

212
00:21:19,140 --> 00:21:24,090
most challenging to undertake? And if and
then what people are doing to overcome

213
00:21:24,090 --> 00:21:25,230
those challenges?

214
00:21:26,820 --> 00:21:32,520
Yes, well, the ventilator certainly has
been a challenge because clearly I mean,

215
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:40,080
we have expertise attorney controlling the
speculator several legal, really good good

216
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:46,170
level of controls and very precise. We are
also mean expert in the gas manipulation.

217
00:21:46,170 --> 00:21:51,870
So this was certainly certainly a good
aspect. But now, going from a prototype

218
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:58,140
something to the patient is extremely
challenging because it has to go standards

219
00:21:58,170 --> 00:22:03,450
that are not easy to meet them. That
circle we are not what we we do every day.

220
00:22:03,450 --> 00:22:10,440
So, it is for these reasons that we have
been lifting with who and seeking their

221
00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:16,770
data expertise. And we are looking for,
for investment partner in medical field so

222
00:22:16,770 --> 00:22:22,110
that this could that could bring this to a
solution. So this has been probably the

223
00:22:22,110 --> 00:22:26,880
most challenging of the projects that we
have been been doing.

224
00:22:28,650 --> 00:22:29,190
Thank you.

225
00:22:30,750 --> 00:22:36,150
Questions from the audience or from the
panelists. If you're a panelist and you

226
00:22:36,150 --> 00:22:39,840
have a question, you can just speak up or
you cannot probably Raise your hands.

227
00:22:43,020 --> 00:22:48,960
Looks like not. So again, I would like to
thank you again for everything you're

228
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,040
doing and for your one
