Global Encryption Day ConferenceGlobal Encryption Day (GED) is an annual event organized by the Global Encryption Coalition (GEC), designed to raise awareness about the importance of encryption in protecting privacy and securing digital communications. It brings together various stakeholders, including civil society organizations, technology companies, and individuals, to advocate for strong encryption policies ...
What can we learn about the structure of individual minds, human or artificial, using large-scale social data, such as the textual or visual data flowing through search engines and social media platforms? In this talk, I present a range of studies showing that large-scale social data can reveal striking insights ...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gained increasing global attention for its transformative potential across industries. Alongside robotics, it has become central to efforts aimed at accelerating clean technology and mitigating climate change. At the intersection of AI, automation, and energy storage, several critical questions emerge: What can data-driven approaches achieve that ...

Butterfly Walk in the GardenJoin our butterfly docent specialist Sally Levinson and Andy Liu for a guided walk through the Garden in search of butterflies, as you learn about their plant relationships and amazing life cycle. Bring binoculars if you have them.Registered children welcome. Pre-registration is required, space is limited. Groups larger than 6 ...
Topology plays a key role in describing quantum matter, which has been greatly explored in recent decades [for an introduction: Hasan & Kane, Rev. of Mod. Phys. 82, 3045 (2010)]. I present how tuning a topological insulator featuring a Dirac fermion can be used as a platform to realize emergent ...
Neutrinos, the only neutral elementary fermions, have provided many surprises. Flavor oscillations reveal the non-conservation of the lepton flavor number and demonstrate that neutrino masses are finite; yet they are surprisingly much smaller than those of other fermions (by at least six orders of magnitude!) It is then natural to ...

Dark Matter Searches Using Gravitational Wave DetectorsDr. Nancy Aggarwall of UC Davis conducts precision measurements of fundamental physics. She uses techniques from Quantum Optics, atomic physics, and condensed matter physics to look for new physics in the form of dark matter candidates or gravitational waves from astrophysical, cosmological, and exotic sources.

Mechanisms and importance of lysosome repairDamaged lysosomes are harmful to cells and participate in propagation of neurotoxic protein aggregates. Recent studies have shown that damaged lysosomes can be repaired by several alternative mechanisms. In our group we have been characterizing lysosome repair mediated by ESCRT proteins and lipids transferred from the endoplasmic reticulum. In my ...
The spins of black holes in binaries observed with gravitational waves are an essential probe of physics on multiple scales, from the astrophysical formation environments of compact binaries to fundamental physics. At the same time, the imprint of spin on the observed signals is weak, making constraints more challenging compared ...
