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  URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/march-is-hummingbird-month-at-the-ucsc-arboretum-botanic-garden/ LOCATION:Arboretum\, 122 Arboretum Road\, Santa Cruz\, CA\, 95064 CATEGORIES:Lectures & Presentations ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Lohman_Kevin_Spotlight-WATERMARK.jpeg GEO:36.9838652;-122.0609079 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Arboretum 122 Arboretum Road Santa Cruz CA 95064;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=122 Arboretum Road:geo:-122.0609079,36.9838652 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260316T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260316T100000 DTSTAMP:20260405T151339 CREATED:20260303T180231Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260303T180253Z UID:10009388-1773648000-1773655200@events.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Teng\, Z. (CM) - Visualizing Player Processes: Towards Design Guidelines for Interactive Process Visualization Tools in Game Analytics DESCRIPTION:Game analysts face a significant challenge in understanding problem-solving and decision-making processes from the vast and complex sequential data generated by modern video games. Existing visualization tools often fail to adequately support the exploration\, suffering from issues of visual clutter\, inflexible cohort construction\, and a lack of interactive depth. To address this gap\, this dissertation adopts a Research through Design (RtD) methodology to investigate how an interactive process visualization system can be designed and developed to better support the needs of game analysts. \nThe research was conducted in three phases. First\, an initial set of five design guidelines was identified through a breakdown analysis of existing tools and semi-structured interviews with professional game analysts. Second\, these guidelines were iteratively refined through long-term\, collaborative case studies with analysts working on diverse commercial games. This process not only validated the initial guidelines and surfaced one additional guideline concerning interactive inspection\, but also resulted in INSPECT\, an interactive process visualization prototyping system that embodies the refined guidelines. Third\, the guidelines were empirically validated through two complementary user studies of the INSPECT system. A controlled experiment demonstrated that features designed according to the guidelines enabled participants to identify player strategies more efficiently than with a baseline system\, while a qualitative study with professional Dota 2 coaches and players demonstrated the system’s practical value for strategic analysis and strong usability. \nThe primary contributions of this dissertation to the fields of game analytics and information visualization is a set of validated design guidelines for process visualization tools. This contribution provides a durable and transferable framework for the design and development of more effective\, analyst-centered tools for understanding player problem-solving and decision-making processes. \nEvent Host: Zhaoqing Teng\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Computational Media  \nAdvsior: Magy Seif El-Nasr \nZoom- https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/97624383966?pwd=NGolaaTbhdytPcDK6aRIBDIv63b8lm.1 \nPasscode-595285 URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/teng-z-cm-visualizing-player-processes-towards-design-guidelines-for-interactive-process-visualization-tools-in-game-analytics/ CATEGORIES:Ph.D. Presentations ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ph.d.-presentation-graphic-option-1.jpg LOCATION: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260316T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260316T200000 DTSTAMP:20260405T151339 CREATED:20260114T205147Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260114T205147Z UID:10008400-1773687600-1773691200@events.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Karen Russell - The Antidote DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes bestselling author Karen Russell (Swamplandia!) for a discussion about her latest novel The Antidote\, which will be available in paperback on the night of the event. “The Antidote blends speculative and fantasy elements with rich language and vivid characters in an effort not to escape reality but to comment even more thoughtfully on it. . . . Russell’s lyrical writing dazzles on every page.” —The New York Times \n \nYour RSVP helps us plan for your arrival and keep in touch with any changes. Thank you for registering! \nThe Antidote opens on Black Sunday\, as a historic dust storm ravages the fictional town of Uz\, Nebraska. But Uz is already collapsing—not just under the weight of the Great Depression and the dust bowl drought but beneath its own violent histories. The Antidote follows a “Prairie Witch\,” whose body serves as a bank vault for peoples’ memories and secrets; a Polish wheat farmer who learns how quickly a hoarded blessing can become a curse; his orphan niece\, a basketball star and witch’s apprentice in furious flight from her grief; a voluble scarecrow; and a New Deal photographer whose time-traveling camera threatens to reveal both the town’s secrets and its fate. \nKaren Russell is the author of six books of fiction\, including the New York Times bestsellers Swamplandia! and Vampires in the Lemon Grove. She has received MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellowships and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Born and raised in Miami\, Florida\, she now lives in the Bay Area with her husband\, son\, and daughter. The Antidote\, a national bestseller and a finalist for the National Book Award\, is her second novel. \nThis event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute.

This time\, however\, the story of Theseus and Hippolyta\, the disorienting experience of adolescent sexual desire\, and the conflict of duties to sovereigns\, parents\, friends\, and spouses are no laughing matter. It’s over-shadowed by the play’s source text — Chaucer’s Knight’s Tale\, in which chance foils Theseus’s best efforts to create order out of chaos and meaning out of loss — and by Shakespeare’s own experience writing tragedy and tragicomedy. \n \nThomas Luxon is Professor of English\, Emeritus at Dartmouth College\, where he was also the inaugural Cheheyl Professor and Director of the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning. His teaching and scholarship focus on literature of the English Renaissance and Reformation\, with a particular interest in John Milton\, John Bunyan\, John Dryden\, and 17th-century English religion and politics. In his revelatory book\, Single Imperfection: Milton\, Marriage\, and Friendship (Duquesne UP\, 2005)\, Professor Luxon explores the impact of ancient theories of friendship on Milton’s conception of Reformation marriage\, and during the pandemic\, he contributed a lecture about the rivalry of friendship and marriage in Two Noble Kinsmen to Ian Doescher’s Shakespeare 2020 Project. \nUndiscovered Shakespeare is a public arts and humanities series co-produced by Santa Cruz Shakespeare\, UCSC Shakespeare Workshop\, and The Humanities Institute. It brings professional actors and scholars together with the public for a staged reading and discussion of works by Shakespeare that are rarely produced.
