Testing our recently installed @thermofisher Falcon4i... not bad!

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: https://t.co/Ac8hzCaOqM

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: https://t.co/lYOby6aEwF @JohnWDurban @Miroungalife @sfregosi26 @UCSCscience @CascadiaRes @SR3Sealife

@UCSCscience pumpkin party! #massspectacular #sanchezlab

[University of Texas Institute for Geophysics @UTGeophysics]

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.

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

[Peter Aldhous @paldhous]

Introducing the current class of @UCSC_SciCom students. Delighted to have started working with them on news features to be pitched to @mercnews!

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! https://t.co/zb9rohRV6a

[Frankie Gerraty @Symbioecologist]

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:

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!

[Baskin Engineering at UCSC @BaskinEng]

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: https://t.co/AdmPYW9aJG

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!
