The Great San Francisco Earthquake of April 18, 1906, was a watershed in the history of earthquake science, says Stanford geophysics Professor Gregory Beroza. In this video, Beroza presents new animation based, in part, on his recent study suggesting that the 1906 quake was much bigger than earlier estimates. That study was co-authored by Stanford Professor Paul Segall and graduate student Seok Goo Song.

In a conversation with Stanford Report writer Lisa Trei, psychologist Carol Dweck says people's self-theories about intelligence have a profound influence on their motivation to learn. Those who hold a "fixed" theory are mainly concerned with how smart they are—they prefer tasks they can already do well and avoid ones on which they may make mistakes and not look smart. In contrast, she says, people who believe in a "growth" theory of intelligence want to challenge themselves to increase their abilities, even if they fail at first.
