The earth's biosphere is incredibly information-rich, with estimated information transmission rates exceeding those of the technosphere by 9 orders of magnitude (Lingam et al, Life 13, 1850, 20

The international workshop “Women in Photonics“ offers an unique chance to excellent female scientists at the beginning of their ­career to connect, present their research and learn from experts in photonics holding leading positions at research institutions and companies.

The International Day of Light commemorates the first successful demonstration of a laser by Theodore Maiman on May 16, 1960. This celebration highlights the importance of light-based technologies in biomedical technology and cancer research. 

We will be hosting a seminar on “Multiphoton Microscopy Breakthroughs: Enhancing Non-Invasive Clinical Skin Imaging” with Professor Mihaela Balu, Ph.D. from the Department of Dermatology at University of California, Irvine. Please see flyer below for bios & abstract.

Join UC Davis, Wexford Science & Technology, and the City of Sacramento as we celebrate the opening of Aggie Square: a new innovation district where researchers, businesses, startups, and the broader community come together to create opportunities and drive progress in Sacramento.
