SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Winds of Change: Technical Progress and Learning by Doing in the Wind Industry
DESCRIPTION:We measure technical progress and cost declines in the wind turbine industry\, accounting for large quality improvements that have occurred over time. As in many industrial settings\, we do not observe costs. Instead\, we infer them by modeling the turbine procurement process\, and estimate the model on the near-universe of global commercial wind farms built from 2000 to 2019. We find that while commonly reported measures of price per unit of capacity fell by 30 percent during this time\, latent quality-adjusted costs fell by over 75 percent. Underpinning these cost declines\, we estimate substantial learning-by-doing. A doubling of manufacturing experience reduces manufacturing costs by 26 to 29 percent. Though inter-firm spillovers per unit are relatively small\, in aggregate\, they rationalize a significant portion of the cost reductions over time.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:OGPS Science Writing & Communication - Fall 2026
DESCRIPTION:This workshop series will equip you with practical strategies for communicating science with clarity and confidence as a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher. You will explore approaches to developing productive writing habits\, outlining a clear and compelling research manuscript\, and adapting scientific messages for different disciplines and audiences. The series will also offer guidance and hands-on practice in designing and delivering effective poster presentations and oral talks. Through interactive activities\, practical frameworks\, and opportunities to apply what you learn to your own research\, you will strengthen your written\, visual\, and verbal science communication skills.\nAims & Objectives\nBy the end of this series\, you will be able to:\n\nStructure and design engaging scientific posters that clearly convey your research and enhance audience understanding and message retention.Organize the motivation\, problem statement\, and results of your research into a logical manuscript outline that supports a clear and compelling scientific argument.Build confidence and productivity as a writer by reflecting on your writing habits\, considering your audience\, and applying strategies to overcome procrastination and maintain momentum.\nAdapt technical detail\, terminology\, context\, and emphasis to communicate your research accurately and effectively across disciplines\, audiences\, and professional settings.\n\nDevelop and deliver effective oral presentations using principles of audience engagement\, scientific storytelling\, clear organization\, and confident public speaking.
