Birds and Blooms tours are back for the summer! Bird language coach Jeff Caplan is just back from travels and will lead Arboretum tours about South Africa and Australia. These […]
Join us for a one-hour webinar, Online Surveys in Research: Best Practices for Ethics, Security, and Success, featuring experst from ITS, the IRB, and the research community. Learn how to […]
This workshop is full. Join Katie Wolf, creative director of Eothen event and design floral studio, for a morning of creativity and connection. Take what you learn in this workshop […]
Narrative sandbox games rely heavily on simulation to produce emergent narrative experiences. Instead of featuring pre-authored central narratives, these games provide a play space, a sandbox, of various systems and […]
Online communities tell stories with the games they play. As continual updates, recurring monetization, and platforms for community discussions have flourished, we have seen a rise in video games using […]
Choosing a major can feel overwhelming, but many science students share a common academic path in their first year. This session breaks down the similarities in core coursework, introduces the […]
T cell receptors (TCRs) mediate antigen-specific immune responses through recognition of peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) molecules. Accurately predicting TCR–pMHC interactions remains a major barrier to TCR-based immunotherapy, […]

The explosive growth of genomic data, driven by advances in sequencing and inference technologies, presents both an opportunity and a challenge for evolutionary biology and public health. Existing visualization and […]
Neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders (NPDs), such as autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia, are among the most heritable yet mechanistically complex conditions. While large-scale genomic studies have identified hundreds of high-confidence […]
Machine learning endows autonomous systems to uncover underlying structures and physical laws from measured data and to leverage these models for prediction and decision-making. As the costs of data acquisition, […]
Breathing in the Anthropocene: Reflections on Breath, Air, and Vitality This presentation examines breathing in the present moment when humans vastly transform Earth ecosystems that impact health and well-being. Atmospheric transformations via worsened air highlight connections of breath with health. How might breath be shaped by cultural and individual experiences? Ethnographic research at the intersections […]
Collaborative virtual reality environments have the potential to greatly impact scientific progress, especially those relating to existential human problems. Within these virtual environments, scientists could view and interact with spatial data in applications as part of their sensemaking process, however, there are design challenges and barriers to development. This advancement document presents research questions related […]
Program verification has been applied in many contexts (including videogames), but the scale and complexity of the examples that have been analyzed fall short of the ability to analyze many existing games without massive computational costs. My research focuses on automatic analysis and design of one particular game: Super Metroid, with the goal of creating […]
What the Mouth Remembers is a research-creation project that explores how spoken language, especially when fragmented, mistranslated, and passed down across migration, family histories, and colonial ruptures, becomes a site of embodied memory, survival, and imaginative reconstruction. At the heart of the project is the Jeju language, not as a fixed object of preservation but […]
Presenter: Richard J Maraia, MD, Senior Investigator and Head of the Section on Molecular and Cell Biology in the Intramural Research Program, NICHD Description: The La protein is a eukaryote-ubiquitous RNA-binding protein that (in the organisms examined) stabilizes newly synthesized RNA polymerase (Pol) III transcripts by transiently protecting their 3’-ends prior to maturation as abundant […]
Join the Silicon Valley NHRA and learning partner Steps for an interactive session using drama-based learning to improve communication across generations in the workplace. Through scenario-based activities, you'll explore real-world challenges and uncover how different generations approach work, communication, and leadership. Learn how this approach supports HR and talent strategies by equipping teams with the […]
You are invited to join a free, online informational session to learn more about the Center for Legal Studies Paralegal Certificate Course©, a professional education program taught through the UCSC Silicon Valley Extension Paralegal Studies program. Topics Career growth and earning potential An overview of how CLS works with accredited college and university partners Course […]
Reconstructing ocean dynamics from observational data is fundamentally limited by the sparse, irregular, and Lagrangian nature of spatial sampling, particularly in subsurface and remote regions. This sparsity poses significant challenges for forecasting key phenomena such as eddy shedding and rogue waves. Traditional data assimilation methods and deep learning models often struggle to recover mesoscale turbulence […]
