US Sen. Alex Padilla's staff visited campus to learn about UC Merced’s applied research in agriculture, partnerships in F3 Innovate, and future experimental smart farm. Couldn’t pass up the chance to take a pic with the Big M!
Thank you for your continued support of UC Merced!
Our Super Soaker Water Academy (SSWA) for middle school students is running with @ucm_calteach at @ucmerced this week. Today, the students are kayaking on Lake Yosemite and taking water samples, which they will later test. https://t.co/9a8TbbqjbA
The AgAID Institute will be there and are super excited to see everyone (and the robots, too!)! We’re working on the Education Day but also can’t wait to share about our ongoing research efforts.
Did you know that @USDA_NIFA funded Secure Water Future has an ad hoc group called Women of Water (SWF WOW) that’s all about facilitating mentorship of women in STEM (and specifically within SWF) at different career stages? @ucmerced@USUAggies@nmsu
Forward Together!
Thank you to the wonderful and talented group that made this work happen -- @VICELab, Leigh Bernacchi, Max Eriksson, @anna__schiller , and Ann Hayden! What a pleasure to work with you all!

Working on water-ag challenges common between 🇲🇽 and the Southwest 🇺🇸 to develop partnerships between UC Merced and Universities in Mexico led by @JosueMedellin
Our super team members, Jordan Jobe (PM) and Josh Viers (Co-PI), will be on the panel of #FIRAUSA22 joining experts from @ai_nextgenfood,
@ucdavis, AIFARMS, and others. They will talk about how critical federal investments are in agriculture technology.
@ucmit ^note also the circular logic of requiring a ServiceNow ticket to report a problem that in turn requires a UCMNETID for authentication. If the "username cannot be identified", one cannot register a problem.
Graduate student Vicky Espinoza, who works with Professor Joshua Viers, is looking at community-informed land use solutions that help address groundwater overdraft in the San Joaquin Valley in a timely, feasible and equitable manner. https://t.co/j9ADx4nDVM
Director of @citris_ucmerced Professor Josh Viers and I attended the @almondboard's Almond Conference in Sacramento today and met with President and CEO Richard Waycott. We discussed the future of #agfoodtech research and education, an emerging strength of UC Merced's faculty.
Happy to engage in COP26 without using air miles. Also need to mention there is no silver bullet but there may be silver buckshot: Nature + Tech x Scale = Future Planet for All https://t.co/ORcZqV7LaB
UC Merced’s largest research grant aims to improve agricultural and environmental water resilience. The new $10 million collaborative focuses on water banking, trading, and improvements in data-driven management practices. https://t.co/0GuQjFPT7H
@safeeqkhan So glad to be working together on this important effort. We have a great team, and a great idea (in my humble opinion). Thanks for your hard work @safeeqkhan and to others for making this happen.
