  • The UC Santa Cruz Kraw Lecture Series presents: Unmasking cancer’s complete genetic code

    The UC Santa Cruz Kraw Lecture Series
    Silicon Valley Campus 3175 Bowers Avenue, Santa Clara, CA, United States

    In this Kraw lecture, Angela Brooks will discuss her work on cancer research. Current cancer research focuses almost entirely on finding errors—mutations—in DNA. This has given us incredible tools like precision oncology, matching patients with targeted drugs. But cancer cells almost always develop drug resistance, causing treatments to fail and limiting patient survival. An often-overlooked […]

  • SCIENCE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD A PUBLIC LECTURE SERIES UC SANTA CRUZ Science Transforming Pacific salmon recovery, from genes to ecosystems Presentation by Eric Palkovacs Q&A with Bryan Gaensler

    Science in the Neighborhood: Transforming Pacific salmon recovery, from genes to ecosystems

    Science in the Neighborhood
    Coastal Biology Building 130 McAllister Way, Santa Cruz, CA

    For millennia, Pacific salmon have been integral to the health of coastal ecosystems and human communities from California to Alaska. Salmon are ecological and cultural keystone species, connecting marine and freshwater food webs and supporting thriving fisheries. Yet, wild salmon have declined precipitously due to a combination of factors including dams, harvest, hatcheries, water use—and now, climate change. This is part of the Science in the Neighborhood lecture series.
