Two KIPAC Tea TalksBerti: Testing Galaxy Assembly Bias with PRIMUSThe "halo model" of galaxy evolution assumes all properties of a galaxy are determined statistically by the mass of its dark matter halo. While this assumption yields predictions that largely agree with observations, the full picture of the connection between galaxies and halos is ...
From dark matter to observed skies, creating a universe with state-of-the-art simulations Preparations for upcoming cosmological surveys such as LSST can benefit greatly from the use of simulated observations, however creating realistic galaxy catalogs is an incredibly complex and challenging task. In this talk I will first discuss how such simulations can aid in the interpretation of modern cosmological datasets. I will ...
Ever wonder how plants live? Or what DNA really looks like? Get hands-on with (maybe even spooky!) science to find out! Join Cal Scientists for some cool, food-related investigations at the South Berkeley Farmers’ Market. Subject to reduced hours or cancellation in event of inclement weather.
The event would be an opportunity for teachers, parents, students and all community members to tour the different parts of the Resource Area for Teaching (RAFT). The materials donation department, the teacher collaboration space, and the research and develop labs. The tour of the facility would culminate in several design ...
Go behind the scenes at the only academic marine laboratory on San Francisco Bay, San Francisco State University’s Estuary & Ocean Science Center, located on the Tiburon peninsula in Marin County. Meet our scientists and take a deeper dive into the environmental research they are doing in San Francisco Bay ...
Come and discover the inner workings of a cell! See how electron microscopes are used to peer deep into the world around us and even into our very own cells. We’ll take a hands-on look at how samples are prepared for imaging with electrons. Then, we’ll delve into the rugged ...
The Downtown Oakland Dojo is for youth age 7-17 to explore coding & technology in a fun and social environment. Try out different coding languages and get hands on with making digital creations using the Raspberry Pi. Bring a laptop if you can. Children must be accompanied by a parent ...
The Science and Technology Center on Real-Time Functional Imaging, STROBE, is addressing major imaging science challenges through the integration of several areas of imaging science and technology. This multi-million dollar NSF funded research project, involving 5 institutions across the country, includes researchers at UC Berkeley whose labs focus on electron ...
In this lecture, Harvard-trained physician Akil Palanisamy will describe the outlines of a comprehensive road map to heart health, sharing research on the optimal heart-healthy diet, cutting-edge nutritional science, key vitamins and supplements, and the evidence-based practices and techniques of integrative medicine. He will share practical tips on what to ...

Come explore CRISPR, a revolutionary gene-manipulating technology, with UCSF scientists. During this 90-minute experience, you will engage in hands-on activities, interact with UCSF graduate students who use CRISPR, and tour a research laboratory. Tour is suitable for ages 13 years and up.RSVP required at weblink.Room N114
Our environment is the result of billions of years of interaction between geological and biological forces. Early naturalists worked to observe and document this environment, resulting in the science we know today. What would our current environment look like to a naive naturalist? What will the sediments of our time ...
