It is a great opportunity to fulfill Anthropology requirements and/or units towards graduation! \nQuick Facts: \n\nLocation: London\, United Kingdom\nCourses: ANTH 161 Anthropology of Food – 6 units (satisfies PE-H); and ANTH 151 Workshop in Ethnography – 6 units\nLed by: Professor Melissa L. Caldwell and Instructor Rikki Brown\nEligibility: Open to students from any major who have completed 45 units by time of departure and have a minimum of a 2.3 GPA\nDates: July 27-August 29\, 2026\nFinances: Financial aid applies\, and scholarships are available! Budget will be posted on the website when it is available.\nHow to apply: Visit here for instructions. Applications open on December 1 and close on March 2.\nGet in touch: Email your questions to globallearning@ucsc.edu.\n\nProgram Description: How do anthropologists learn about a place? Using contemporary ethnographic methods\, they cultivate their senses to see\, hear\, touch\, smell\, and taste the stories and worlds around them. In this dual course summer program taught by a UCSC Anthropology Professor\, London will become a living laboratory to learn how anthropologists study and practice ethnographic methods\, with a focus on how and why food is an especially important gateway to understanding culture\, power\, exchange\, memory\, identity\, histories of colonialism\, and postcolonial futures.

SUMMARY:Johnstone\, J. (AM) - The Effects of Asymmetry on Overshooting and Magnetic Pumping from Compressible Convection Zones
DESCRIPTION:We present a comprehensive numerical investigation examining how vertical asymmetry in compressible convection affects overshooting and the transport of large-scale magnetic fields from convective to stably stratified regions. Using three-dimensional direct numerical simulations\, we systematically vary the superadiabaticity and stratification of a convective layer to control the vertical asymmetry of the flow and analyze its influence on overshooting depth and magnetic pumping efficiency. We extend previous work by Tobias et al. (2001) and draw guidance from the asymmetry regimes identified by John & Schumacher (2023)\, investigating whether similar asymmetric convecting regimes emerge in our overshooting model that incorporates a stably stratified region below. We find that vertical asymmetry increases significantly with stratification at a moderate\, fixed Rayleigh number\, while superadiabaticity contributes primarily through enhanced downflow velocities\, with both combined leading to increasing overshooting depths reaching approximately 0.46 − 0.7 pressure scale heights. Magnetic pumping efficiency initially increases with stratification but unexpectedly decreases at higher stratification\, despite increasing overshooting depths. We find that this behavior arises from the increasing thermal and magnetic diffusivities that result from increasing stratification at fixed Ra. When instead either holding these diffusivities constant or increasing Ra sufficiently\, we find that then both overshooting and magnetic pumping depths both decrease with increasing stratification. This behavior is explained by a change of dynamical state from one of laminar downflows to one of turbulent downflowing plumes leading to a high degree of turbulent mixing and entrainment. We thus find two distinct regimes that might be described as a microscopically diffusive regime and a turbulently diffusive one. These results suggest that\, in the highly turbulent regime expected in the Sun\, magnetic pumping efficiency may decrease with increasing stratification due to enhanced turbulent entrainment\, with important implications for solar dynamo theory and the transport of large-scale magnetic fields in the solar interior. \n  \nEvent Host: Jason Johnstone\, Ph.D. Student\, Applied Mathematics \nAdvisor: Nic Brummell \nZoom- https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/5428987373?pwd=JSmNz3ZZby5ZnVBYbSoakjjQb2qQj6.1&omn=98571815542 \nPasscode- 778899

SUMMARY:Ecology of Presence: Pathways to the Natural World
DESCRIPTION:Norris Center Art + Science Graduate Fellowship Exhibition \nEcology of Presence: Pathways to the Natural World brings together the work of ten graduate students supported by the Kenneth S. Norris Center for Natural History Art + Science Fellowship\, a program dedicated to creative research connecting art with the natural world. Across media – including sound\, moving image\, music\, performance\, installation\, comics\, social practice\, photography\, and storytelling – the artists in Ecology of Presence emphasize relationality and careful attention to place as essential to building relationships with environs. As accelerating environmental change and technological dependency threaten ways of belonging\, the works in this exhibition maintain a steadfast commitment to interdisciplinary approaches that propose kinship with the natural world. By coming together\, Art + Science Fellows artworks and social practices suggest ways of imagining human life in relation to the more-than-human world.

SUMMARY:Yang\, J. (CSE) - Towards Controllable and Compositional Generative Vision
DESCRIPTION:Diffusion-based text-to-image models can generate impressive images\, but they largely treat an image as a single\, flat output\, which makes precise editing of individual elements difficult. This proposal studies layered generative representations that align with professional editing workflows\, enabling users to manipulate foreground objects while preserving the rest of the scene. A central focus is visual effects such as shadows and reflections\, which are essential for realistic composition yet are often missing or inconsistent in current generative pipelines. This proposal outlines a research program toward controllable\, compositional image generation that supports practical\, edit-ready content creation. \nEvent Host: Jinrui Yang\, Ph.D. Student\, Computer Science and Engineering \nAdvisor: Yuyin Zhou \nZoom- https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/91510964517?pwd=NG5Urv2li9HxlcUKrybg6Z5ZtYj9e6.1 \nPasscode- 544143
