President Milliken was in Sacramento this week meeting with @BenAllenCA, @MoniqueLimonCA, @senatorsrp, @AlvarezSD, @AsmDarshana, @AsmJesseGabriel and others to discuss UC’s positive impact across California, supporting students, and advancing research and patient care.

A @UCSanDiego-led program joins forces with research programs across the world to improve forecasts of extreme weather events. today.ucsd.edu/story/atmosphe…

Meet UCAN’s Student Ambassadors! This dynamic cohort represents the voices of @UofCalifornia students while advocating for UC in Sacramento and D.C. Lawmakers listen when students share their stories, and we are excited to have them on the UCAN team!

Amazing turn out for @bummp_atucsd Welcome Lunch♥️♥️♥️

Fifth overall. First for curriculum. Sixth in research. UC San Diego is among the top universities recognized globally by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. ➡️ bit.ly/4otoDE0

A patient at UC San Diego battling stage 4 cancer put it best: “We’re not a line item.” Research saves lives, but Trump’s cuts to NIH funding threaten trials, discoveries, and hope. We will fight against these cuts—because patients deserve breakthroughs, not abandonment.

.@uofcalifornia researchers are making discoveries that save lives, from new cancer treatments to advances in heart disease. These breakthroughs rely on federal support for medical research. Join us today to #SpeakUp4Science during the #RallyMedRes: ucal.us/speakupforscie…

School of Medicine leaders met with Representatives @RepScottPeters and @RepSaraJacobs to discuss changes to federal student loans and repayment plans and the potential impacts on students, patients and the community. Read ➡️ tinyurl.com/2vsuvxzh

So yeah, I'm completely done. I'm never seeing another Disney live-action reboot again, no matter how interesting it looks in trailers. Even if they somehow do one for Treasure Planet, I'm not seeing it.

So. This weekend, I went to see the Lilo & Stitch remake with my wife, niece, and nephew. I thought it was bad. But the more I sit on it and think about what I saw, I didn't just not like it, I'm actually angry how badly Disney mutilated the original message of this movie.

Congratulations to @ucsandiego and @sdsu’s men’s and women’s basketball teams on your historic wins this weekend!

Trump and Musk’s reckless cuts could devastate San Diego’s economy, slashing NIH funds to UCSD by $100M+ a year, crippling research, biotech, and jobs. Scientists will lose funding, labs could close, and the region’s life sciences leadership will suffer. sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/02/17/san…

Avoid FAFSA mistakes, Tritons! 🔱🚨 Here are five common errors that could delay your financial aid.

For decades, @NIH funding has fueled breakthroughs in cancer, heart disease and more. But a new policy puts progress at risk. We’re asking Congress to oppose this abrupt change. Email your lawmakers! 🔗 Learn more: bit.ly/3EC0mtT #SaveNIHresearch

Tritons, get your FAFSA in! There’s nothing like the feeling of crossing it off your list. ✅💸
