SUMMARY:Wiki-a-thon Supporting BIPOC Scientists
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of creating and editing pages for BIPOC scientists\, engineers\, and technologists! Wikipedia overwhelmingly recognizes the achievements of white people. This wiki-a-thon works to reverse this trend\, highlighting the often overlooked accomplishments of BIPOC leaders in science and technology\, and ensuring that the next generation can see role models who look like them. \nNO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY – RSVPs appreciated \nWe will provide a list of scientists who don’t yet have pages\, or you can come up with your own! The event will begin with a short training on how to edit Wikipedia\, followed by time to write your own article on a scientist\, engineer\, or technologist of your choice. \nWhen: Thursday\, October 23 from 2-5pm. Come for the whole time or just an hour or two! \nWhere: E2-506 and Zoom (RSVP for link) \nWho: All students\, faculty\, and staff are welcome to attend! \nSnacks and drinks will be provided! \nRead more about our inspiration.

SUMMARY:Screening: Cracking the Code
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a public screening of “Cracking the Code: Phil Sharp and the Biotech Revolution” at the Landmark Theater on Monday\, October 20. The screening will start at 7pm\, with a panel discussion hosted by the UCSC RNA Center to follow. \nThis powerful new documentary chronicles Nobel Laureate Phil Sharp’s discovery of RNA splicing\, a breakthrough that ignited the biotechnology revolution and continues to shape the future of medicine and innovation worldwide. Our city was chosen for a special screening of this film in recognition of UC Santa Cruz’s long-standing leadership in RNA research and its pivotal contributions to understanding RNA metabolism. \nRegister to attend \nMore than a film\, this evening is an opportunity to reflect on Santa Cruz’s place in the future of biotechnology and life sciences innovation. After the screening\, we will host a panel discussion themed “Why Not Santa Cruz?”—exploring how our region\, with its scientific excellence in RNA and Genomics\, entrepreneurial spirit\, and vibrant community\, might cultivate the next generation of discoveries\, companies\, and partnerships. \nWe expect a lively exchange among scientists\, community leaders\, philanthropists\, and innovation builders about how Santa Cruz can play a greater role in shaping the next wave of biotech breakthroughs. \nView trailer here \n
