🐋 The UCSC Seymour Center is working to restore the iconic Ms. Blue whale skeleton—with the help of Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Marco Rolandi and his students, who created a sustainable bone-repair putty made from shrimp shells! bit.ly/43wzRjr

“If they say they’re going to create a fire-resistant LIDAR unit, then they’re going to have to rewrite all the software that’s interpreting that type of data,” said #BaskinEngineering Prof Leilani Gilpin—in response to challenges Waymo may face. bit.ly/4n8A6ZK

Undergraduate Project Showcase! 🛠️✨ #BaskinEngineering students brought bold ideas to life—from wildfire risk systems and muscle-activated prosthetics, to ROVs for kelp restoration, SARS-CoV-2 mutation validation, smart power monitors, and drones for VTOL search and rescue.

"It changed medicine, it changed science — it changed the world." 🧬🌎 Listen to WHYY 's exciting retelling of the race to complete the human genome before it was patented, and how UC Santa Cruz "computer geeks" saved the day! whyy.org/segments/25-ye…

🔥The labs of #BaskinEngineering Professors of Computational Media Katherine Isbister, Magy Seif El-Nasr, and Sri Kurniawan, along with Visiting Professor Edward Melcer, are using game design to help communities build resilience to wildfire.🤯 bit.ly/44ugpTN

A new study led by #BaskinEngineering researchers shows that people's social media habits can lead to more offline activity—exploring how often tiktok users make healthy recipes they see on the app. Via KION News Channel 46: bit.ly/44vsMyP

🌊 How can technology enhance climate resilience? #BaskinEngineering postdoc Linda Hirsch developed an engaging flood resilience game which aims to equip community members with techniques for preparing for climate change events.💡Read the story: bit.ly/3TrCkG8
