Rest in Peace, Yale Braunstein

Yale Braunstein, a professor at UC Berkeley's School of Information, passed away last night.

Yale was a significant influence in reinforcing my interests in information and technology policy. In his Information Policy class, he always had very interesting stories and perspectives on important policy issues. Not only was he wise, but he knew important people like former Secretaries of State. He seemed to always have a smile on his face and was never afraid to jump into a difficult problem and do his best to make it better. I'll think of him, as I do with all my mentors, in the future when confronted by a particularly difficult policy problem.

Yale also taught me to take tedious and seemingly boring problems and try to find a way to make them fun... that's a clever trick I still use to this day. Thanks, Yale.

    Dear Joseph

    I am Yale's sister and was fortunate to be out here in CA with Yale's wife and son when he passed. Thank you so much for your kind words.

The retina receives light first , processes and transforms light energy into irritation - a signal that encodes all the information about what the eye sees . The retina is very complex and in their structure and function . Its structure resembles the structure of the cerebral cortex. The shell of the retina is very thin - about 0.14 mm.
