SUMMARY:2026 Right Livelihood International Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Right Livelihood International Conference is a five-week global conference exploring how education can strengthen democracy\, collective intelligence\, and just futures. Bringing together Right Livelihood Laureates\, students\, faculty\, and community partners across continents\, the conference combines asynchronous learning with participatory dialogue and collaborative action. Rather than advocating specific outcomes\, the conference positions education as a democratic practice and the Right Livelihood College as a steward of dialogue\, student voice\, and long-term institutional learning. \nRegistration is free and open to the public. Sign up to receive conference updates\, session links\, and participation opportunities.

SUMMARY:Slug48—Student Film Competition\, Screening\, and Awards Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The third annual Slug48 returns with a 48-hour film competition—open to all UC Santa Cruz students. A 48-hour film is one that is written\, shot\, edited\, and all music composed within a 48-hour time period. Teams and strategies for filming may be formed ahead of time\, but nothing can be written\, and no footage can be shot\, until the clock is ticking. Slug48 was founded in 2024 thanks to the support and enthusiasm of UC Santa Cruz alumnus Kevin Nolting\, former editor at Pixar Animation Studios\, where he edited the Academy Award-winning films Up!; Inside Out; and Soul. \nABOUT THE EVENT \nCompetition Opens\nFri.\, April 24\, 5:00 p.m. | UCSC Communications 139\n– parameters assigned (a theme\, a prop\, a line of dialogue that must be in the film to ensure nothing was shot ahead of time)\n– filming begins\n– open to all UCSC students\n– advanced registration recommended here; however students can sign up at the Competition Opens event \nCompetition Closes\nSun. April 26\, 5:00 p.m.\n– filming concludes\n– submit the finished film \nFilm Screening & Awards Ceremony\nWed.\, April 29\, event time to be announced | Kresge 3105\n– films judged by a panel of celebrity judges\, chaired by Kevin Nolting\n– open admission for friends/family of the filmmakers and UCSC affiliates \nDownload and share the event flyer here.

SUMMARY:Zheng\, Z. (STATS) - Semi-Supervised Statistical Learning for Oceanographic Data
DESCRIPTION:Oceanographic data\, generated by modern technologies that measure biological systems across time\, space\, and cell populations\, are often rich\, high-dimensional\, and highly heterogeneous. Such data provide valuable opportunities to study subcellular organization\, cellular heterogeneity\, and dynamic biological processes in marine environments. However\, because marine plankton systems remain relatively understudied and less well characterized than many model biological systems\, both data generation and labeling are particularly challenging. Limited domain knowledge and less mature laboratory protocols often produce noisy observations\, while reliable annotation requires substantial expert effort and is therefore difficult to obtain at scale.\nThis proposal develops statistical methodology for oceanographic data settings in which a small amount of expert-labeled data must be combined with a much larger collection of unlabeled or imperfectly processed data. A central goal is to incorporate limited scientific knowledge into statistical learning procedures to improve interpretability\, component identifiability\, and inferential reliability. In particular\, I develop semi-supervised statistical methods that explicitly quantify the information contributed by expert annotation.\nTo address this goal\, I study three related problems: semi-supervised functional clustering for subcellular spatial proteomics\, anchored semi-supervised mixture-of-experts models for flow cytometry\, and temporally structured latent-variable models that separate smooth trend and seasonal variation from scientific signals of interest. Together\, these projects aim to develop principled and interpretable methodology for partially labeled\, structured\, and high-dimensional oceanographic data\, with an emphasis on valid uncertainty quantification. \nEvent Host: Ziyue Zheng\, Ph.D. Student\, Statistical Science \nAdvisor: Sangwon Hyun \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93229540289?pwd=8bsBOSBFmISlexmS4OWTmTZKp420u2.1

SUMMARY:BME80G Seminar: Ed Green\, "DNA Forensics in The Genomics Age"
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Richard “Ed” Green\, Professor of Bimolecular Engineering @ UCSC \nBio: Richard E. Green (Ed) was born in Atlanta\, Georgia\, USA in 1972. He graduated from the University of Georgia (B.Sc. Genetics) in 1997. Before graduate school\, Ed was in Peace Corps (Barentu\, Eritrea) and was a lab tech at Emory University. Ed studied with Steven Brenner at the University of California\, Berkeley where he got his PhD in 2005 on computational algorithms for sequence analysis and alternative splicing. As an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow in the lab of Svante Paabo at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology\, Ed pioneered the use of high throughput sequencing in ancient DNA. He was first author of the paper in Science describing the Neanderthal genome which won the Newcombe-Cleveland prize. As Professor at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, Ed co-directs the UCSC Paleogenomics lab. His research focuses on comparative genomics\, population genetics\, DNA technology development\, and DNA-based forensics. Ed is co-founder of Dovetail Genomics\, Claret Biosciences\, and Astrea Forensics. He is a Kavli Scholar\, a Searle Scholar and a Sloan Scholar\, author of over 100 research manuscripts and 21 US Patents. He is a senior member of the National Academy of Inventors\, was a 2024 Santa Cruz Titan of Tech\, and was awarded the 2025 International Homicide Investigators Association technology award. \n\nHosted by: Professor Karen Miga\, BME Department
