This event celebrates and highlights the work of UCSC graduate students in all academic divisions. Enrolled graduate students will present either a poster, talk, or mixed media presentation. Judges will […]
Centromeres ensure proper chromosome segregation during cell division, yet the organization and regulation of centromeric chromatin within satellite DNA arrays remain incompletely understood. Here, we leverage the complete diploid human […]
Please join us on June 3rd for the final Anthropology Colloquium of 25-26, “Precarious Accumulation: Fast Fashion Bosses in Transnational Guangzhou,” featuring Nellie Chu of Duke Kunshan University (UCSC PhD ’14).
Cooperative two-player play produces distinctive social experiences between players: intimacy, trust, cooperation, communitas. Since Huizinga, the frame within which these experiences arise has been called the Magic Circle: a temporarily-set-apart […]
As quantum computing transitions from theory to practice, understanding which algorithms suit near-term devices becomes critical. Current quantum computers are severely constrained by limited qubit counts, short coherence times, and […]
Many genetics pipelines start by aligning sequencing reads to a reference genome. Aligners attempt to find the position in the reference sequence which best matches the read sequence, but this […]
Presenter: Stephen Montgomery, Endowed Professor of Pathology, Genetics, Biomedical Data Science, Computer Science, Stanford University Description: N/A Bio: Stephen Montgomery is an Endowed Professor of Pathology, Genetics, Biomedical […]
Self-reflection holds significant potential for learning, behavior change, and emotional processing, yet designing technologies that effectively support it remains challenging, particularly when reflection involves difficult experiences such as failure. Most […]
The growing complexity of high-performance computing (HPC) systems poses a fundamental challenge for domain scientists, whose primary objective is to obtain scientifically valid results rather than to optimize resource utilization. […]
This event has been postponed. Join us for a conversation with Author Bruce H. Jennings and Santa Cruz Mayor Fred Keeley about Jennings’ new book, Revolutionary Science: The Struggle for Agroecology […]
Learn how to build practical leadership, finance, marketing, and management skills for today’s dynamic business environment. Reynold Lewke, M.S., M.B.A, LLB, a corporate attorney, litigator, author, and business advisor, will […]
Modern high-performance GPU kernels increasingly rely on subgroup-level execution, including subgroup-level communication, subgroup operations, and matrix operations. These features are essential for workloads such as matrix multiplication and FlashAttention, but […]
Please note: Following this lecture, the Genomics Institute’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee will host a reception on the Baskin Engineering Lanai with Dr. Kirshenbaum where we can continue the discussion on […]
Earthquake prediction has simultaneously remained both the central, unsolved problem in seismology and the issue that communities care about most—especially here in Northern California. Earth & Planetary Sciences Professor Emily Brodsky will discuss what we do and do not know about when earthquakes will happen.
First Saturday Tours are a wonderful way to introduce yourself to the Arboretum or to deepen your knowledge of the Arboretum’s plant collections. Each tour is a little different depending […]
Build the skills organizations need most Skilled project and program managers remain in demand across many industries as organizations seek professionals who can plan strategically, manage risks, and deliver results […]
Opportunities to enhance groundwater recharge with net metering and levee setbacks As climate change, population growth, and changing land use put increasing pressure on groundwater supplies, communities are searching for […]
Modern software increasingly relies on distributed systems to provide accessible, scalable, and reliable services. Choreographic programming brings a global perspective to distributed system development: programmers write a single program that […]
Edge computing and distributed AI systems increasingly operate under heterogeneous resources, dynamic workloads, and frequent failures, requiring both adaptivity and fault tolerance for efficient execution. In heterogeneous edge clusters, nodes […]
Data Analysts Are Still in Demand As organizations across industries rely more on data-driven decision-making, skilled data analysts continue to be highly sought after. While the job market is more […]
