Traditional mediation analysis techniques often assume a homogeneous mechanism of effects\, overlooking both validity concerns and subgroup variation in causal pathways. In this talk\, I present a series of developments in causal mediation methods aimed at identifying and estimating natural direct and indirect effects\, addressing challenges such as unobserved confounding and heterogeneity across subpopulations. I illustrate these approaches using data from early childhood education programs and online course participation\, showing how causal mediation analysis can reveal diverse mechanisms of change. The talk concludes with current directions for integrating mixture modeling and clustered data analysis with causal inference to enhance both robustness and interpretability at the interface of statistics and applied research. \nBio: Hanna Kim is an Assistant Professor of Quantitative Psychology at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Her research centers on advancing causal inference and mediation methods to investigate how educational programs influence child development and how effects differ across subpopulations. She also integrates latent variable modeling with dyadic data analysis to study interpersonal dynamics. Her work bridges psychology and statistics to address methodological challenges in applied research\, with publications in Psychological Methods\, Cancer Epidemiology\, Biomarkers & Prevention\, Journal of Substance Use and Addiction Treatment\, and the Asian Journal of Education. \n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by: Professor Paul Parker URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/statistics-seminar-beyond-the-average-treatment-effect-causal-mediation-methods-for-understanding-intervention-mechanisms/ CATEGORIES:Lectures & Presentations ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/option-3-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251117T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251117T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T164601 CREATED:20251006T191530Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251022T182419Z UID:10003979-1763395200-1763398800@events.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:AM Seminar: Dynamo Action Inside the Giant Planets DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Dr. Paula Wulff\, UCLA \nDescription: Our solar system hosts six unique planetary magnetic fields. Intrinsic magnetic fields are generated deep inside planets by dynamo action. This process requires regions of electrically conducting material and energy sources to maintain the dynamo. Thus\, we can learn about the deep interiors of planets\, including their structures and dynamics\, by investigating their magnetic fields. In this talk\, I’ll explore some of the interesting questions and possible answers about planetary interiors that have come from studies of planetary magnetism\, in particular through 3-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations. \nBio: Paula Wulff completed her PhD with Uli Christensen at the Max-Planck-Institute for Solar System Science\, in Goettingen\, Germany\, after her undergrad at Cambridge (UK). While working with Uli\, she studied zonal flows on Gas Giants\, in particular on Jupiter. She used the gravity measurements made by Juno to infer their depth\, and numerical modelling to investigate their truncation mechanism at depth. After her PhD\, she moved to California to work with Hao Cao and Jon Aurnou at UCLA’s EPSS department. During the postdoc she has continued to work on 3-D MHD modelling to study the dynamo mechanisms in the interiors of various planets in our solar system. \nHosted by: Professor Julie Simons URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/am-seminar-dynamo-action-inside-the-giant-planets/ CATEGORIES:Lectures & Presentations ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/ph.d.-presentation-graphic-option2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251117T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251117T133000 DTSTAMP:20260403T164601 CREATED:20251106T184902Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251106T185358Z UID:10005104-1763382600-1763386200@events.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:CM Seminar: "Playful Design to Empower Climate Adaptation - What are we missing for real-life impact?" DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Linda Hirsch \n  \nDescription: “Games and playful interventions have been researched to increase awareness of climate change impacts and educate about mitigation and adaptation measures. However\, besides increased awareness\, what real-life impact and adapted behaviors can we actually observe from such interventions? In this talk\, I will reflect on the differences between short-term and long-term community empowerment through playful interventions and discuss three outstanding research directions for designing real-life climate adaptation.” \nBio: Linda Hirsch is a postdoctoral researcher at Computational Media\, UCSC\, under the supervision of Katherine Isbister. She holds a magna cum laude doctoral degree in Media Informatics from LMU Munich\, Germany. Her research focuses on exploring\, conceptualizing\, and creating meaningful human-environment interactions to strengthen communities toward increased climate resilience. Linda Hirsch has been an elected executive committee member of the German group “Be-greifbare Interaktion” since 2021\, an expert research group within the German Society of Information Technology regarding topics for tangible and embedded interfaces. \n  \nHosted by: Professor Katherine Isbister \nWhen: Monday\, November 17\, 2025 from 12:30PM to 1:30PM \nLocation:  \nIN-PERSON @ UCSC Main Campus\, E2-280. \nViewing room @ SVC 3212.  \nLUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED AT BOTH LOCATIONS!

Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary.

However\, current clinical methods rely on endoscopy or repeated ionizing imaging (CT/X-ray)\, and are poorly suited for continuous or out-of-hospital use. In this talk\, I will present a radiation-free platform for high-precision localization of wireless miniaturized devices in vivo\, using engineered magnetic field gradients. We design battery-less ingestible microdevices that measure and transmit their local magnetic field\, while planar coils generate monotonically varying fields in X\, Y\, and Z. This architecture uniquely encodes spatial position and achieves <100 μm 3D accuracy—to our knowledge\, the highest reported. We then translate this to in vivo large-animal studies to localize ingestible devices in the GI tract in real time with mm-scale resolution\, without radiation or hospital-grade imaging. This enables continuous monitoring relevant to constipation\, incontinence\, motility disorders\, medication adherence\, and quantitative GI transit-time. Next\, I will show how this platform generalizes to surgical navigation. By embedding the same localization architecture into catheters and guidewires\, we can track device position without fluoroscopy\, offering a pathway toward image-free vascular navigation and minimally invasive interventions. Finally\, to further shrink devices and power\, I developed a monolithic 3D magnetic sensor in 65 nm CMOS (4 mm²\, 14.8 μW\, <10 μT_rms noise). This fully CMOS-compatible architecture enables high-sensitivity magnetic sensing at μW power\, and can serve as the core for future miniaturized\, radiation-free localization systems. \nBio: Dr. Saransh Sharma received the B.Tech. degree in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)\, Kharagpur\, India\, in 2017\, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech)\, Pasadena\, CA\, USA\, in 2018 and 2023\, respectively. He is currently a postdoctoral research scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)\, Cambridge\, USA\, working on low-power analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits and system design for bio-medical applications. Dr. Sharma was a recipient of the Wilts Prize and the Demetriades-Tsafka-Kokkalis Award for outstanding Ph.D. thesis in Electrical Engineering\, Biotechnology and related fields at Caltech\, Lewis Winner Award for outstanding paper at ISSCC 2024\, Best Student Paper Award at CICC 2025\, Charles Lee Powell Fellowship at Caltech\, and Excellence in Mentorship Award at Caltech for mentoring undergraduate and graduate students. \nHosted by: Professor Soumya Bose\, ECE Department \nZoom Link: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/97975378707?pwd=ljcgaCfhMmhZ88Vt5dqQUBVQRjehOx.1 URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/ece-290-seminar-low-power-and-miniaturized-medical-electronics-for-in-vivo-localization-and-tracking/ CATEGORIES:Lectures & Presentations,Seminars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/BE-logomark_localist.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251117T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251117T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T164601 CREATED:20251114T201416Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251121T192211Z UID:10005605-1763366400-1763398800@events.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Second Harvest Food Bank Holiday Donation Drive DESCRIPTION:Take part in the campus-wide holiday drive by donating Slug Points\, Banana Bucks\, or Flexi Dollars to the Second Harvest Food Bank November 17 – December 11. 100% of your gift will provide food to Santa Cruz County residents. \nWAYS TO DONATE \nStudents can donate up to 50 Slug Points\, Banana Bucks\, or Flexi Dollars in increments of 5. \nABOUT SECOND HARVEST \nFor every $1 raised\, Second Harvest Food Bank provides 3 healthy meals thanks to their extensive relationships with farmers\, retailers\, food bank networks\, and dedicated volunteers and donors.

The exhibition pairs nine nationally recognized poets with nine distinguished visual artists\, presenting collaborative works that reveal the unexpected resonances between image and language. \nThe participating artists are celebrated for their ability to capture imagery with clarity and nuance\, each recognized nationally for their contributions to contemporary art. The poets featured in Broadsides No. 2 are equally accomplished literary voices\, with deep connections to the Santa Cruz community and beyond. Many are associated with the Morton Marcus Poetry Reading\, an annual event honoring the legacy of one of Santa Cruz’s most beloved poets. This year’s reading takes place on Thursday\, November 20 at UC Santa Cruz and features writer and poet Ellen Bass. \nThe exhibition is curated by Donna Mekis (poetry) and Rose Sellery (visual art)\, with broadside design by Gary Young\, Director of the Cowell Press at UC Santa Cruz. Broadsides No. 2 is presented with support from The Humanities Institute and Special Collections & Archives at UC Santa Cruz. \n\nExhibition Events\n\nOpening Reception with Poetry Reading & Artist Talk: Saturday\, November 15\, 4:00-6:00\nFirst Friday Receptions: November 7 & December 5\, 6:00-8:00\n\n\nVisual Artists\n\nRandy Beckelheimer\nGlenn Carter\nLinda Christensen\nDavid Fleming\nMelissa Kreisa\nQuinn Peck\nMargaret Rinkovsky\nRose Sellery\nBobby Williams\n\nPoets\n\nKillarney Clary\nNancy Miller Gomez\nLee Herrick\nStephen Kessler\nRobin Magowan\nTom Meschery\nMagdalena Montagne\nAyaz Pirani\nTodd Turnidge\n\nImage credit: Twirl by Quinn Peck URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/broadsides-no-2-pairing-artworks-with-poetry-poetry-reading-artist-talk/ LOCATION:m.k. contemporary art\, 703 Front Street\, Santa Cruz\, 95060\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibits ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Broadsides.png GEO:36.9742228;-122.0253478 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=m.k. contemporary art 703 Front Street Santa Cruz 95060 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=703 Front Street:geo:-122.0253478,36.9742228 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251115T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251115T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T164601 CREATED:20250905T070000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251117T233403Z UID:10003969-1763215200-1763226000@events.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:The SpongeBob Musical DESCRIPTION:The SpongeBob Musical is a Broadway production based on the popular animated series\, SpongeBob SquarePants.

Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary.

Guided by the luminous figure of Hummingbird\, SHIMMERING moves through place-based ways of knowing\, tracing the entanglement between biological studies of hummingbirds and the rise of military drone technology. The film also features storytelling and insights from Mutsun Ohlone and Tribal Chair of Indian Canyon\, Kanyon “Coyote Woman” Sayers-Roods. Through interwoven narratives of land\, militarization\, taxidermy\, Native regalia\, the filmmaker’s relationship with their trans identity—and with a hummingbird they name Anna–the filmmaker learns about Central California Native Land and culture. Blurring the lines between documentary\, personal letter\, and ecological study\, the film invites viewers to consider new forms of kinship across species\, systems\, and histories.Gentle yet provocative\, SHIMMERING offers a multispecies meditation on knowledge\, power\, and connection. \nFollowing the film screening will be a Q&A Discussion facilitated by Associate Professor Selmin Kara who will be joined by the filmmaker\, Matte Hewitt\, a film participant\, Gizelle Hurtado\, and a film interlocutor Angel Riotutar\, Director of the UCSC American Indian Resource Center. With respect to Native American Heritage Month\, Angel will speak with us about learning as a non-Native person. How do we do so respectfully and with reciprocity?

Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary.
