Naomi Shauna Ginsberg (born 1979 in Halifax, Nova Scotia), is a scientist at University of California, Berkeley. She is known for her work in both physics and chemistry.
Ginsberg earned her B.A.Sc. in engineering at the University of Toronto in 2000, and completed her PhD in Physics at Harvard. She is currently an Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. Her initial interest was biomedicine, but she graduated with an electrical engineering focus, and an emphasis on physics and optics. Accepted into Harvard, and whilst in the research group of physics professor Lene Hau, Ginsberg studied Bose–Einstein condensates, ultracold clouds of atoms that exist at temperatures just a few billionths of a degree above absolute zero.
After being awarded her Ph D for her thesis entitled "Manipulations with spatially compressed slow light pulses in Bose–Einstein condensates" with Lene Hau as her thesis advisor, Ginsberg chose to change direction and include other interests, moving to Berkeley to begin her postdoctoral research in 2007 with Graham Fleming as her advisor. She held a Glenn T. Seaborg Postdoctoral Fellowship at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, until her appointment as Assistant Professor in the Chemistry department at UC Berkeley in 2010.
Naomi or Noemi may refer to:
Naomi Russell (born September 25, 1983) is an American pornographic actress.
Naomi was born in Los Angeles, California. She has stated that she is Jewish and her father was a rabbi. Before entering the porn industry, Naomi had never had sex with a woman. Over the course of her career, Naomi has performed in more than 250 films, many featuring these practices. In 2007, she won the Adult Video News (AVN) Best New Starlet of the Year award. She was not present to accept the award.
Later, in an interview with AVN, she indicated that she had other things to do on the day the award was presented and professed not to see what the big deal was. It was in this same interview that she announced that, prior to her career in pornography, she had never engaged in anal sex. Her first anal scene was in Naomi: There's Only One. She credited the industry with helping her discover that it was a sexual activity she enjoyed. She offered a similar account about how becoming a pornographic actress introduced her to girl/girl scenes and the pleasure they brought her. She also expressed resentment about critics who focused on her weight fluctuations after entering porn and explained that, pre-porn, she was an athletic and lean person by nature.
Naomi is The Cave Singers' fourth album, released March 5, 2013 on Jagjaguwar.
There's no tomorrow / Set a place at the table If every story is a story about love, what of suffering, surrender, and redemption? Life says they're in there too. Along with traffic jams and dishes, jobs and sunsets and spilling all the red wine on the floor. All of it.
Naomi, the fourth record from Northwestern mystics The Cave Singers, is a totem to these things: the every-, any-, all- ways of life. Written over the span of ten months and recorded in one, it bears a new and more expansive production style that captures the live performance energy the band has developed over the past five years. The disc was engineered and produced at Avast Studios in Seattle by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Built To Spill, Shins, Modest Mouse). Each song on the album functions like a chapter in a bigger story, addressing themes of the past, exhuming the memories under moonlight. There are songs of addiction, car ownership, fireworks, tree houses, moving to New Mexico, and God, each shifting in all the ways that make life difficult and miraculous, astounding and beautiful. Get quiet for a while / Happy for each single breath
