Testing our recently installed @thermofisher Falcon4i... not bad! (40,000 particles, 585 movies, 1 hour, 2.6 Å) @UCSCscience

Thanks to everyone who came out and asked dumb questions last night at @abbottsquaremkt! Dumb Questions Night was hosted by the UCSC Santa Cruz Organization for Outreach in Physics (SCOOP) and featured a panel of four @ucsc faculty. We had a blast and hope you did too! 🤯🧲🤖🚀

New research from UC Santa Cruz and @UTGeophysics provides a way to map landslide hotspots using techniques developed for earthquake science. The study is out now in @ScienceAdvances. @UCSCscience took a deep dive into the science behind the research: news.ucsc.edu/2024/10/landsl…

How military sonar impacts dolphins – new research in #RSOS provides data from a first-ever direct study on dolphin behaviour. The authors tell us more about their work: ow.ly/Wgra50TUkbf @JohnWDurban @Miroungalife @sfregosi26 @UCSCscience @CascadiaRes @SR3Sealife

@UCSCscience pumpkin party! #massspectacular #sanchezlab

Landslides are an ever present threat in California but scientists may have discovered the key to predicting them. Researchers at @UTGeophysics and @UCSCscience came up with a way to map a region's landslide potential from its underlying rock physics. ig.utexas.edu/news/2024/gian…

@paldhous @UCSC_SciCom @mercnews Welcome to the new cohort! 😀

Introducing the current class of @UCSC_SciCom students. Delighted to have started working with them on news features to be pitched to @mercnews! scicom.ucsc.edu/students-alumn…

Today, we are catching up with one of our incredible former TUBI students, Marcella Ceballos 🎉🎉🎉 Click this link to learn about her experience in TUBI! treehousegenomics.ucsc.edu/2024/09/04/you…

Thrilled to share the first chapter from my PhD, with 2 awesome @ucsc undergrad co-authors, is out now in @ESAEcosphere. We found that urbanization alters sandy beach scavenging assemblages and that dogs suppress scavenging ecosystem function: doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.7…

Meet the “extended” Conservation Ecology Lab @UCSC_ENVS @ucsc. These are all amazing folks who do work under the supervision of, or in collaboration with, lab members. I feel so lucky to be mentoring and collaborating with all of them 🙌🏽 #profeorgullosa #NewPI

@BaskinEng This project sounds incredible... Way to go!

Two new apps will enable blind people to navigate indoor buildings with spoken directions from a smartphone app, providing a safe method of wayfinding where GPS doesn’t work — a project led by #BaskinEngineering prof Roberto Manduchi. Read more: bit.ly/3U3DGHs

Applications are open for Fall 2025 #Masters in Coastal Science and Policy! This program is for rising leaders to develop interdisciplinary solutions to challenges facing coastal communities and ecosystems around the world. loom.ly/R4vFzV4 #marinescience #sustainability

So proud of how far our @OUTinSTEM chapter at @UCSCscience has come. We are hosting an allyship workshop and lunch today at 11am. Swing by Biomed 300 in a few!

Congrats to @ucsc chemistry professor @DrLauraSanchez on winning The Teal Foundation's Healthcare Hero Award last weekend for her work in support of early cancer detection.💙 “The award is a meaningful recognition of our work aimed at benefiting patients and survivors," she said.

This 1981 photo shows us a Chemistry Board colloquium, filled with unidentified students. Have you attended one of these before? Maybe this very one? Let us know in the replies! #ThrowbackThursday #UCSCLibrary

Huge congratulations to 2 CSP Graduates who are now #SeaGrant #Knauss Marine Policy Fellows! Angelo San Pablo & Cindy Matuch are bringing diverse perspectives to solving marine and coastal policy challenges at the federal level. loom.ly/WKIsE1g #scipol #KnaussFellowship
