SUMMARY:Raíces Y Futuros: Food Justice and Abolition
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the UCSC Farm for an all-day conference on Food Justice and Abolition. We envision this conference as a grounds for cultivating hope and action towards food justice praxis. This includes building connections between disciplines and across communities so that we can engage in dialogue\, build and strengthen coalitions\, and ultimately work towards abolition and alternative institutions.

SUMMARY:Arts & Ecology Festival: Creative Resistance
DESCRIPTION:On Earth Day\, UC Santa Cruz launches the inaugural Arts & Ecology Festival: Creative Resistance\, a campus-wide gathering that refuses to treat climate change as a problem of carbon alone. Instead\, it brings together artists\, scientists\, students\, and community partners to engage the deeper conditions of the crisis\, and to open space for cultural\, political\, and imaginative transformations grounded in repair\, reciprocity\, and collective futures. \nTaking place at the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC)\, the festival unfolds as a full day of exhibitions\, film screenings\, performances\, workshops\, talks\, and public engagement. Developed through an open call that drew an overwhelming response across disciplines\, the program reflects a growing field of practitioners working across environmental research\, land-based knowledge\, climate resistance\, and practices of repair that move beyond dominant institutional and economic frameworks. Tacos Los Reyes food truck will be on site during the festival. \nThe UC Santa Cruz Arts & Ecology Festival is sponsored by UCSC Art Department\, OpenLab Collaborative Research Center\, and UC Climate Action Arts Network\, with support from the University of California\, Office of the President’s Multicampus Research Programs and Initiatives grant program.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Free and open to the public\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\nEarth Day Festival\nWed.\, April 22\, 10:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m.\nvarious locations throughout the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC)\nEarth Week Film Screenings\nMon..

SUMMARY:Sequence to Survival: Using Genomics to Save Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:A Free Public Symposium \nFriday\, May 1\, 2026 Merrill Cultural Center\, UC Santa Cruz Main Campus Doors open at 12:30 PM | Program begins at 1:00 PM \nRegistration is free but required! \n\nIn the 25 years since the Human Genome Project\, scientists have sequenced the DNA of thousands of species. But what can genomics actually do for ecological conservation? The answers are both surprising and urgent. Join us for an afternoon at the cutting edge of conservation genomics as we explore everything from de-extinction to searching water samples for viral genomes\, with researchers from the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute who are turning DNA into a tool for protecting life on Earth. \nKeynote Speaker: Beth Shapiro Chief Science Officer\, Colossal Biosciences Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, UC Santa Cruz; Director of Conservation Genomics\, UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute \nBeth Shapiro leads the science behind Colossal Biosciences’ efforts to bring back the woolly mammoth and dire wolf. In her talk\, “How and Why to Clone a Mammoth\,” she’ll share what the science of de-extinction is revealing about how we can protect the species we still have — and why the tools being built for resurrection may be our best hope for preventing extinction in the first place. \nPanel Discussion: Conservation Genomics in Action \nFollowing the keynote\, Beth joins a panel of researchers working on the front lines of conservation: helping kelp forests survive warming oceans\, tracking the genetic health of California’s brown bears\, monitoring biodiversity through DNA collected from soil and water\, and partnering with Indigenous communities to protect species around the world. Panel participants include: \n\nBeth Shapiro- Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UC Santa Cruz\, CSO of Colossal Biosciences\nDavid Haussler- Scientific Director of the UCSC Genomics Institute\, Distinguished Professor of Biomolecular Engineering at UC Santa Cruz\nMeaghan Clark- Postdoctoral Scholar in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCSC\nKatie Jones- Director of Community Engagement at Wise Ancestors\nJoanna Kelly- Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UC Santa Cruz\nRachel Meyers – Assistant Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UC Santa Cruz\, CSO of eDNA Explorer\n\nScience Fair Showcase \nExplore live demos and talk directly with researchers from some of the top conservation genomics labs in the country. Come curious. \nFull list of table topics to come! \nSchedule \n12:30 PM — Doors open\n1:00 PM — Welcome remarks\n1:10 PM — Keynote: Beth Shapiro\n1:50 PM — Panel discussion and Q&A\n2:50 PM — Refreshments and science fair showcase\n4:30 PM — Event close
