Hi, my name is Peter Avalro and I'm from
UC Berkeley and this is my first keynote

2
00:00:09,962 --> 00:00:16,842
talk. So, thank you for coming and thank
you for honoring me by asking me.

to a keynote, I thought, "Ah, geez, I
should go for it, right? I've got the

00:00:34,856 --> 00:00:38,157
bully pulpit, so I should do some of the
things that you see in keynotes, like, I

9
00:00:38,157 --> 00:00:43,400
should deliver a little bit of a polemic 
(that's number one). I'm an academic,

10
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,030
right, so I should deliver some kind of
lesson (that's number two). I should

00:00:48,030 --> 00:00:50,940
present a survey of the state of the arts
