I have a BA in #ComputerScience from the early 90s (yikes), and I also have 19-year-old kid in their second year of a #cs degree program at #UCSantaCruz who's returning for winter quarter tomorrow.

I dug out some old textbooks I kept, because Charlie is now taking some of the classes I used these books for, and I wanted them to have the extra resources. When I gave them over, Charlie said something to the effect of, "I'm not really sure how to use a textbook" and I had to stifle a groan while I explained it.

Just shows that you never know what part of your lived experience will be unrelatable to your kids.

Widespread Seismic Tremor in Greenland’s Fjords
S32B-08 17Dec, 356 CC 11:40-11:50
(with Yajing Liu & @natalyagomez)

Water (and heat) transport through Greenland's glacial fjords to tidewater glaciers is sparsely measured. They find seismic tremor from coastal, land-based seismometers corresponds to modelled periods of turbulent water flow and standing eddies in these fjords.

Singing from memory unlocks a surprisingly common musical superpower

Psychologists from UC Santa Cruz wanted to study "earworms," the types of songs that get stuck in your head and play automatically on a loop. So they asked people to sing out any earworms they were experiencing and record them on their phones when prompted at random times throughout the day.

Anti-ableist? Want to blunt the edge of the tools they oppress us with?

UC Santa Cruz is looking for a disability cop. Anti-ableists might as well see if they can make change from within.

Absolutely shameful!
The Provost and vice chancellor of UC Santa Cruz smiling and enjoying her day while the cops beat and arrest the student protesters!
She should be removed from her position.
Absolutely disgusting!

University of California academic workers force expansion of Gaza strike after brutal police attack on UC Santa Cruz protest

The decision to send riot cops to UCSC is meant to send a deliberate message to academic workers that neither the campus administration nor the White House and the two pro-war parties will yield in the slightest to popular pressure.
