I'm getting flashbacks to 1998 when I did a short tour of #CALphysics for undergrad. (I went with computer science at #UCSC instead.) The article briefly mentions the importance of keeping up with programming languages, for #physicists, and I was thinking CS would help either way.

To be clear for history, the faculty of the University of California have spoken. The question now is, will the leadership of the #UC system choose to be a #harvard or a #columbia ?

A current #UCSC student is being targeted to harassment and unlawful seizure due to their participation in protests and suits against the university:

Whether or not you agree with their stance on the issues, now is the time to speak out against this kind of behavior from a public institution.

You can let the UCSC Chancellor know how you feel here, and please share this! https://chancellor.ucsc.edu/contact-the-chancellor/

Editorial by Bomi Choe in UCSC student newspaper.

"Pawns in the Game: How the Model Minority Myth Makes Asian Americans Enable White Supremacy"

"A lot of people I know have internalized the “model minority myth,” which characterizes Asians as high-achieving, hardworking and more intelligent in comparison to other racial groups such as Black and Latine Americans. These uninformed beliefs bury the long history of interracial solidarity throughout American history."

"Sullivan, a PhD candidate in the environmental science department, received a “Notice of Intent to Dismiss” signed by Campus Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor (CP/EVC) Lori Kletzer on Aug. 5, 2024. This notice came after her participation in last spring’s academic student workers strike.

Jess Fournier, a UC Santa Cruz graduate worker in the feminist studies department and one of the organizers of the Jan. 23 “Hands off Summer” rally spoke about the protesters’ goal.

“The university is trying to make an example of her so that other people will be afraid to organize, afraid to talk to their coworkers, afraid to strike,” said Fournier in an interview with City on a Hill Press at the rally. “We’re trying to make sure that doesn’t happen. If you’re a worker, and you stand up for yourself, everybody will have your back.”"

Alter Mond mit junger Kruste

Der Mond ist älter als gedacht. Seine Kruste ist nach der Entstehung nochmal zum Teil aufgeschmolzen – und hat Forschende so bei der Altersbestimmung in die Irre geführt.
"
"Nach Einschätzung .. entstand der Mond vor 4,43 bis 4,51 Milliarden Jahren. .. Kruste scheint .. mindestens 80 Millionen Jahre jünger zu sein."

@futurebird @blikkie At #UCSC in the late 1960s, we did not have separate dining rooms for faculty in general, although I’m sure that the Chancellor and his minions had a nice place of their own. Each residential college of 500-odd students had a dining commons that sat 300 or more, which we shared with our on-campus faculty couples and many of the commuters. However, the Junior Commons next to the dining halls had televisions, while the faculty-only #CrownCollege Senior Commons had much more comfortable leather couches, a walk-in marble fireplace (borrowed from Hearst’s San Simeon Castle), and sherry. We use it for small reunions now, but the couches haven’t held up so well.

After #pota at Lighthouse Field State Beach (US-3461). The #UCSC #EPS Reunion crew did a walking #geology tour along Santa Cruz's Westcliff Drive. Connecting terraces with sea level fluctuations and uplift.

Congratulations to California's new state slug and mascot of my graduate alma mater UC Santa Cruz, the glorious banana slug (Ariolimax columbianus) - seen here in hermaphroditic embrace. That's right, they are nonbinary and therefore a perfect mascot for California!

@aaronpriven Fiat Slug! My daughter is a #ucsc grad.

So proud of #ucsc at their great achievement https://sfba.social/@jeridansky/113217295802701219

A nice ACM Queue article on Deterministic Record-and-Replay from Andrew Quinn at UCSC! Definitely touches on a lot of relevant areas for SimKube!

@sundogplanets I am certain that #ElephantSeals are worse. Especially the #AlphaMales from the #DeltaQuadrant. They are much larger, much louder, eat more of the crab and calamari that I like the best, and exhibit wildly excessive #SexualDimorphism. The beach masters’ #harem acquisition also condemns many perfectly fine male elephant seals to lives as #incels. I took a #CrownCollege Core class at #UCSC in 1968 from #BurneyLeBoeuf, who was just beginning his studies at #AñoNuevoStatePark while also fathering the field of #Psychobiology. Admittedly, the class was on an unrelated subject—#ScienceCultureAndMan, but, still, #ProveMeWrong.
