When Water Dreams - Art Reception & Astist TalkCanadian artist/photographer Bill Peters presents large-scale color images of the salt ponds, sloughs and wetlands of San Francisco Bay shot from a helicopter from 2009 through July of this year. The shoreline of San Francisco Bay is a crucible where the human forces that work on land and water intersect ...
Explore some of the many ways to make color - from neon signs to oil slicks to rainbows and more. Learn all about light, how it is made and interacts, and take home materials to build your own spectroscope. You’ll see color in a whole new light!
Strain Modulated Superlattices in GrapheneThe quest to create novel material systems with designer electronic properties has often led to the investigation of interfaces and superlattices. The potential of customizing properties by merging different 2D materials via vertical or horizontal stacking to create van der Waals or lateral heterostructures seems limitless. In this presentation I ...
Constraints on Quantum GravityAlthough predictions of quantum gravity are typically at extremely high energy, over the last decades several non-trivial constraints on its low energy effective theory have been found. I will start by explaining why the unification of general relativity and quantum mechanics has been difficult. After introducing the holographic principle as ...

Intrinsically disordered peptides are a special class of proteins that do not fold to a unique three-dimensional shape. These proteins play important roles in the cell, from signaling to serving as structural scaffolds. Under pathological conditions, these proteins are capable of self-assembling into structures that are toxic to the cell, ...

Stress and Symbiosis: How a Crop Plant Prioritizes Communication with Friendly FungiUnderstanding how plants respond to drought is critical to improving agricultural yields under increasingly frequent droughts as a result of climate change. The UC lab grew the naturally drought-tolerant food crop sorghum in the field under drought stress to look at how this changes its gene expression. Their work revealed ...
