🐳 Increasing cargo shipments have led to a number of whale deaths. @ucsc researcher Brandon Southall has observed whale behavior to discover why blue whales might be particularly vulnerable to being hit by large ships, and how we might protect them. latimes.com/environment/stor…

As cargo shipments boom, ship strikes imperil whales in California and worldwide

Ships are a major risk to whales worldwide. Researchers are only beginning to understand the extent of death caused by ocean-traveling vessels.

One of the most amazing things I have learned about Baskin Engineering while working here is what a huge role they played in the Human Genome Project. I made this video to celebrate the 20 year anniversary:

🧬 Happy Genome Anniversary! 🧬Twenty years ago today, engineers and scientists at @ucsc published the first draft of the #HumanGenome online, ensuring that it would remain free and accessible to researchers forever. Watch the incredible story:

This year's commencement might have looked different, but we still found ways to celebrate together while #SocialDistancing . Enjoy this video congratulating our @ucsc Baskin Engineering students who graduated from home. 🎓 🎉 #SlugGrad #GraduateInPlace
Started watching the @HandmaidsOnHulu series at the worst possible time. The episode I watched last night had police shooting at protesters in the street. Too close is right.

Too close.
Just ordered myself a "care package" from @OldCapitolBooks in Monterey :) St. Louis friends, @eyeseeme is also a great black-owned bookstore with an amazing mission to help kids of color see themselves in what they read.

I've been writing some spotlights on some of our alumni at Baskin Engineering. Here is the latest one on a truly amazing #NLP student who graduated last year:
