BME 280B Seminar: Speaker Dr. Aaron Newman – Molecular and spatial determinants of single-cell developmental states in cancer
Biomedical Sciences Building 575 McLaughlin DrivePresenter: Dr. Newman, Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Data Science, Stanford University Description: Determining the factors that shape cell potency—the ability of a cell to differentiate into other cell types—is essential for understanding tissue biology in health and disease, including cancer. In previous work, we found that single-cell transcriptional diversity decreases across […]

ECE 290 Seminar: Speaker Luat T. Vuong – Biospeculative approaches to the “needle in a haystack”: vortex encoders and hybrid optical neural-networks
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAPresenter: Luat Vuong, Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering, UC Riverside Description: Given the growing computational demands of machine learning, how can we scale approaches for sifting through large volumes of data—including patterned or delayed information embedded as “noise”? Many computer vision applications have a strict power budget and demand robust, rapid-response, and even real-time image […]

CM Seminar: Edward Wang, “Inventing a New Blood Pressure Monitor”
Silicon Valley Campus 3175 Bowers Avenue, Santa Clara, CA, United StatesPresented by: Edward Wang Description: “What does it actually look like to invent something? In this talk, I trace the decade-long journey of turning a smartphone into a blood pressure monitor, from Seismo, which used smartphone accelerometers to measure pulse transit time, to BPClip, a dollar clip that brought calibration-free oscillometry to the fingertip, to VibroBP, which […]

Taming Two Scorpions: Climate Science Tipping Points Meet Finance Tail Risks
Center for Adaptive Optics 7487 Red Hill Road, Santa Cruz, CAWhen two quite different disciplines make eerily similar predictions about the future of the planet and human societies, they deserve notice. Climate scientists warn that we may be heading toward a Hothouse Earth “inhospitable to … human societies,” with “increasingly catastrophic impacts” possibly “worldwide societal breakdown.” Finance and actuarial science emphasize the importance of tail […]

Landesman Lecture
Music Center Recital Hall 400 McHenry Road, Santa Cruz, CAHybrid EventThis evening blends science, poetry, and storytelling to explore our deepest origins and shared humanity. Tracing the cosmic formation of the elements that make our bodies, we reflect on an ancestry older than nations, borders, and labels. Through verse and story, we connect stellar history with lived experience, inviting us to see how our many identities arise from the same ancestral matter. Together, we explore how storytelling can soften divisions, cross boundaries, and remind us that we are forged from one common origin.
