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:Community Conversation with author Randy Ribay
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Monday\, March 23\, 2026 for a community conversation with Randy Ribay\, young adult fiction writer and National Book Award Finalist. During the event\, Randy will discuss his recent novel\, Everything We Never Had (2024)\, about four-generations of Filipino American men grappling with identity\, masculinity\, and father-son relationships. The characters’ stories traverse histories of Filipino America\, including those of Watsonville and the Pajaro Valley. Randy conducted archival research using the Watsonville is in the Heart Community Digital Archive and other repositories to create intergenerational narratives of Filipino American migration\, labor\, and family. \nOur conversation will take place in the Community Room located on the Fourth Floor of the Watsonville Civic Plaza. This event is free and open to the public. It is co-sponsored by Watsonville Public Library\, UCSC’s Center for Labor and Community\, Watsonville is in the Heart\, The Tobera Project\, and Pajaro Valley for Ethnic Studies and Justice. \n \n

SUMMARY:The Future of Work in the Age of AI: March Slugs and Steins with Dean PK Agarwal
DESCRIPTION:The Future of Work in the Age of AI: Chaos\, Adaptation\, or Growth? \nArtificial intelligence has reignited an old debate: are we approaching mass technological unemployment\, or simply the next phase of economic evolution? Public discourse swings between dystopian predictions of human obsolescence and confident assurances that “new jobs will replace old ones.” This lecture steps back from speculation and examines evidence. Drawing on economic history and disruptive change\, going back to the wheel and the printing press to electrification\, computers\, and the internet—we explore how societies have repeatedly confronted disruptive change: moments when existing skills\, institutions\, and expectations no longer matched the pace of innovation. The goal is not to predict the future\, but to provide a framework for thinking about it—what AI may automate\, what it may amplify\, and why the real disruption may be the speed of adaptation rather than the disappearance of work itself. The talk concludes with implications for higher education\, workforce development\, and how individuals can remain resilient in an age where intelligence is no longer exclusively human. \nREGISTER \n
