SUMMARY:March is Hummingbird Month at the UCSC Arboretum & Botanic Garden
DESCRIPTION:March is Hummingbird Month at the UCSC Arboretum & Botanic Garden \nThis time of year\, the Arboretum hosts both Anna’s and Allen’s hummingbirds\, the two most common species in Northern California. “The density of hummingbirds—the number per area in the Arboretum—is ridiculously high\,” says Bruce Lyon\, Professor Emeriti of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCSC. “You can watch them feeding on flowers\, you can watch their courtship\, you can watch them chasing different species. It’s a great opportunity to see some pretty amazing hummingbird biology.” \nIn celebration of this special time of year\, we invite you to visit the garden as much as possible! We will have presentations\, workshops\, and tours throughout the month. See our webpage for a schedule of activities and more information about hummingbirds and the abundance of plants at the Arboretum that attract them. \nWe will also feature hummingbird merchandise and hummingbird-attracting plants at our gift shop and nursery. Visit Norrie’s Gift & Garden Shop\, Tuesdays thru Sundays from 10 – 4. For more information visit: https://arboretum.ucsc.edu/garden-shop/ \nAll events are free with paid admission: Adults: $10\, Seniors $8 and Youth 4-17 $5. Current UCSC students are free. Rain cancels outdoor activities. \nCurrent Arboretum members are always free and enjoy other great benefits year-round!  Join Today at https://arboretum.ucsc.edu/get-involved/join-us/    \n  \n

SUMMARY:BME 280B Seminar: Modulating Insulin Receptor Through New Ligands
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Danny Chou\, Associate Professor of Pediatrics\, Stanford University \nDescription: Since its discovery in 1921\, insulin has been at the forefront of scientific breakthroughs. From its amino acid sequencing to the revelation of its three‐dimensional structure\, the progress in insulin research has spurred significant therapeutic breakthroughs. In recent years\, protein engineering has introduced innovative chemical and enzymatic methods for insulin modification\, fostering the development of therapeutics with tailored pharmacological profiles. In this seminar\, I will highlight the use of new ligands to modulate insulin receptors and discuss how they continue to shape the future trajectory of insulin research. \nBio: Danny Chou is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and by courtesy\, of Chemical & Systems Biology at Stanford University. He is an affinity group leader at Stanford Diabetes Research Center. His research interests lie in the intersection of peptide therapeutics and metabolic diseases. He started his independent career as an assistant professor of biochemistry at University of Utah in 2014. He moved his lab to Stanford University in 2020 and continued their pursuit of using peptide and protein chemistry to develop therapeutics to address unmet needs.  \nHosted by: Professor Andy Yeh\, BME Department

SUMMARY:[HSI Equity Talk] Beyond Invisibility: Reimagining Servingness to Support Undocumented Transfer Students
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Valeria Alonso Blanco\, Dr. Saskias Casanova\, and Jesus Morales \nThis interactive talk draws on a qualitative study conducted with undocumented Latinx transfer students at a California four-year HSI. Using focus groups and reflexive thematic analysis\, we examined how these students perceive and experience institutional support\, belonging\, and barriers related to their intersectional identities. This session is designed around three goals: (1) assessing what staff and administrators currently know about undocumented students on campus\, particularly undocumented transfer students; (2) building shared knowledge through our research findings and student voices; and (3) connecting participants to existing campus resources and identifying concrete opportunities for cross-departmental collaboration. We will share key resources and actionable strategies for holistically serving undocumented transfer students. \nPlease register online. The Zoom information and a calendar invitation will be sent to those who RSVP. \nYou Belong Here: The programs and services described here are open to all\, consistent with state and federal law\, as well as the University of California’s nondiscrimination policies. Every initiative—whether a student service\, faculty program\, or community event—is designed to be accessible\, inclusive\, and respectful of all identities. \nTo learn more\, please visit UC Nondiscrimination Statement or Nondiscrimination Policy for UC Publications.
