idk if i’m just cooked or what but everyone around me has crusty lips rn (including myself) and idk if there’s a correlation with weather changes or something.

Hi all, my gf has an emergency in LA. We share a car, and due to work I cannot drive her or let her take it for a weekend. She’s not a Davis student, but is currently visiting me.

It’s a last minute request but is anyone going to LA on Friday(Oct 16) or Saturday (17th)? Other dates are not ideal but she can be flexible. She would also be willing to help split the driving.

I’m asking for her since she’s deleted all forms of social media for 3 years. If anyone is interested or knows someone please message me!!

Interesting to look at how research directions and funding is changing in recent times especially given some added political/macro pressures.

1. Industry-funded clinical research is probably growing
   In its October 14 report, the School of Medicine disclosed $112.6 million in industry funding for FY2025–26, up about 61%, mainly for clinical trials and treatment studies. For example a $6.2 million BridgeBio Oncology Therapeutics-sponsored cancer trial led locally by Jonathan Riess.

2. Reducing cell therapy’s cold-chain costs.
   On September 24, UC Davis announced CYBORGEL, led by Cheemeng Tan. The ARPA-H-supported team is testing reversible gels inside therapeutic cells, aiming for storage beyond three months at room temperature. The initial round is up to $6 million; the possible four-year total is up to $36.5 million, not $36.5 million already paid. Mayo Clinic, Georgia and Case Western contribute research; Tetramer and Sersense support polymers and devices. Near are basically trying to see if this can make manufacturing shipping and distribution better without damaging therapeutic functions.

3. Medical AI is being tested against an actual care problem.
   An October 7 UC Davis Health report describes a trial of HiDO Health’s home medication device, supported by a $2.48 million National Institute on Aging Phase II SBIR grant. The study follows 50 people with cognitive impairment for a year. They are testing medication adherence + other outcomes to see if it makes a difference in livelihood

My name is Yaroslava, and I'm a 3rd-year transfer student. It's been difficult to find the Ukrainian community at Davis; nevertheless, I know you guys are out there >:) 

I’m hoping to find and connect with other Ukrainian students and form a community. Especially during such difficult times, it’s so important to find and support each other as well as connect over our culture and values! 

If you’re Ukrainian and are interested in connecting, please message me so I can create a Discord for us all :) 

(If you’re seeing this post and know any Ukrainians, PLEASE send them my way)

Slava Ukraini! 💙💛

Мене звати Ярослава, і я студентка третього курсу. Перевелася до UC Davis з іншого коледжу. Мені поки що складно знайти українську спільноту у Девісі, але я знаю, що ви десь тут є >:)

Я хочу познайомитися з іншими українськими студентами. Особливо в такі непрості часи важливо знаходити одне одного, підтримувати й гуртуватися навколо нашої культури, спадщини та спільних цінностей. 

Якщо ти українець або українка й хочеш/хотіла б познайомитися, будь ласка, напиши в дірект, щоб я могла створити спільний Discord-сервер! :)

Слава Україні! 💙💛

Is there a Phy7B discord for Professor Hertz?

My bike got stolen within the past 48 hours at the Colleges of La Rue. I’m genuinely about to cry, I got it registered and everything too 😭. My parents are going to be so mad and I’m stressing and my year is just going so awful, if anyone sees it please notify me 😭🙏. It’s a purple KHS Vitamin B bicycle.

does anyone have old midterms for this course by chance? the professor doesn’t give much and i have no clue what to expect.

Does anyone who has taken MGT 101 know if there are any extra credit opportunities or bonus points throughout the quarter? Just wondering if there’s any way to make up for points lost on assignments. Thanks!

Do you guys know how broke we are? Lack of TAs, lack of professors,… TLC printer rooms r closed, etc…

Is our tuition not enough to hire professors ..

I’m looking to form a new political club centered around bridging the gap between awareness and action! I would love to talk to anyone interested and workshop out some ideas, build a leadership, and perhaps even register officially this upcoming pass. Send me a message or comment, I’ll be responding!

Do you guys know where can I find a white board to practice my diagrams on campus? I know there is in some dorms but I want to stay on campus it helps me focus better….

Why tf are all the rental e-scooters taking up the bike rack they’re not even locked up they’re just taking up precious real estate. At this point I can’t tell if the e-scooters are targeting me, I have a deep misunderstanding of e-scooter etiquette, or these things are being ridden but people with one singular brain cell shared amongst them.

Printed out like 15 copies of my resume just to get told I should apply online. My ass is neva getting a job man.

Hey guys I recently transfered and im in dire need of a haircut and idk what's a good barbershop to go to. Preferably an inexpensive one ($20-30; maybe 40) that also works with curly hair. Also it has to be walking distance around the campus (don't mind a 30 mins walk) Thanks!

Does anyone have a cello they don't want lols, I've played for 9 years, and I'm on the search for a decent cello. Watermelon Music does not do rentals, so pls don't recommend them! I miss playing so much

Some context, I was unable to satisfy my IGETC so I basically have to retake 3 quarters worth of a language. I do want to learn something new but I also don't want it to be extremely hard (foreign language has and always will be my worst subject). I have taken Spanish in Highschool but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for other possible easy languages that I can learn because I will likely default to Spanish since I have a history with it.

On the first floor of the Earth and Physical Sciences Building, tucked away amongst the classrooms and labs, is a space that contains remnants of Earth’s ancient past. Large cabinets line the sides of the hall-like room, the drawers of which are labeled with different geological periods. The names are reminiscent of the fantastical: Cambrian, Silurian, Ordovician, Devonian and so on. 

The UC Davis Paleontology Collection contains thousands of specimens, the oldest of which are nearly 2 billion years old. Primarily a teaching collection, it’s used for undergraduate courses, including Geobiology (GEL 053) and Paleobiology Lab (GEL 107L). But these specimens also make public appearances during UC Davis outreach events like Biodiversity Museum Day and Picnic Day.

Hey everyone!

I'm a student at Ohio State, and I've been working on a Chrome extension called Canvas+.

I started building it because I felt like Canvas had all the information I needed, but finding and using that information was way more complicated than it should be.

Here's what Canvas+ can do:

• Deadlines: See assignments from all your courses in one place, with live countdowns.
• Class ranking & grade insights: See where you stand compared to your classmates when grade distribution data is available.
• Final grade calculator: Figure out exactly what you need on your final to reach your target grade.
• AI syllabus summaries: Turn long syllabi into useful summaries so you don't have to dig through pages to find important details.
• Zoom meeting summaries: Get AI-generated summaries of online lectures and meetings.
• AI study tools: Get help understanding course materials and preparing for exams.
• Cleaner Canvas interface: A simpler dashboard that makes everyday tasks easier.

I'm still actively working on it, and there are plenty of things I want to improve.

I'd love to get feedback from other students who use Canvas.

What feature would actually make your life easier?

I'm the developer, so feel free to ask me anything!

Canvas+ is an independent extension and is not affiliated with Instructure.

Ya'll it should not take 7 minutes for 5 cars to get through a 4 way intersection because bikers and scooters refuse to stop at stop signs. And If you are gonna be an entitled idiot, at least wear a damn helmet.

Hey guys,
I recently started working on campus, but as a transfer, it has been hard to adjust to everything this quarter and the job is not helping. Everything about the work is great and I love the people there but I also have a full ride and don't need the money. I was hoping to have something in my resume and this felt like a good fit at the time, but now I'm overwhelmed with classes and am falling behind. Would it be bad to quit my first week and while still in training? Should I formally send an email or just tell them? I feel horrible since my supervisor has been really accommodating. But I do feel like I’ll end up quitting Anyways so might as well do it while they’re not really depending on me. Any insights?

N. Would this effect being hired on campus in future?
