SUMMARY:Korean Experimental Music Festival—Featuring the National Gugak Center and Del Sol Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The National Gugak Center—Korea’s foremost institution for traditional music—joins forces with the Bay Area’s acclaimed Del Sol String Quartet to offer California audiences a rare and resonant experience.

In two additional performances on Sat.\, Nov. 15\, traditional Korean wind instruments—the piri\, saenghwang\, and daegeum—are transformed through real-time computer sound processing into a striking electroacoustic experience. \nThe festival culminates a two-year collaboration among the National Gugak Center\, the UC Santa Cruz Music Department\, UC Berkeley’s Center for New Music and Audio Technologies (CNMAT)\, and Stanford’s Department of Music and Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA).

Discoveries have been trickling in at an accelerating pace ever since\, with the roster of new worlds surpassing 6000 just this year. Due to a confluence of lucky events\, I’ve been afforded a front row seat to exoplanet discovery over those last three decades. The science has taken me from humble mountaintops like Lick Observatory to the most powerful space telescopes like Kepler\, TESS\, and Webb. As the story unfolds\, so to does my human perspective. I will share the view from this front row seat — how the story started and where it’s going\, what we know and don’t know\, and what the next generation can look forward to as we search for evidence of living worlds beyond the Solar System. \nNatalie Batalha is a Professor of Astronomy & Astrophysics and Director of Astrobiology at UC Santa Cruz. She uses ground and space-based telescopes to find and characterize planets orbiting other stars in the galaxy\, with the ultimate goal of searching for evidence of life beyond the Solar System.  Prior to UCSC\, Dr. Batalha was a research scientist at NASA Ames where she served as Science Team Lead and Project Scientist for NASA’s Kepler mission. She led the team that discovered the first confirmed rocky exoplanet (Kepler-10b). Over the next decade\, she played a central role in expanding the Kepler catalog of discoveries and guiding the team through the statistical analyses that demonstrated the prevalence of potentially habitable planets in our Galaxy. For her work on Kepler\, Batalha was awarded a NASA Public Service Medal (2011) and the Smithsonian Ingenuity Award (2017).  Most recently\, Batalha led the team that achieved the first definitive detection of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of an exoplanet (WASP-39b)\, a breakthrough that showcased the James Webb Space Telescope’s extraordinary power to probe alien skies and ushered in a new era of atmospheric exploration. At UCSC\, she is working to grow an Astrobiology program that will place UCSC at the center of the search for life beyond Earth.

SUMMARY:Emeriti Faculty Lecture\, Fall 2025
DESCRIPTION:Kicking the Prow: Reflections on a Life in Conversation with Past and Present People and Other Creatures\nIn this lecture\, Distinguished Research Professor Diane Gifford-Gonzalez reflects on fifty-five years of zooarchaeology work\, studying animal remains from archaeological sites to explore how past people and their kin interacted. While varying in geographical and theoretical foci\, a common thread runs through what she believes are her most influential contributions to archaeology. Starting with a true story\, Professor Gifford-Gonzalez will outline how these have “kicked the prow” of wider conversations in archaeology and share a few of her creative works. \nRegister to attend in-person or virtual\nDoors open at 6:30 p.m. for guests attending in-person \nLecture: 7 p.m. \nFollowed by a reception for in-person guests \nFree and open to the public \n  \nPresented by the UC Santa Cruz Emeriti Association
