A mixed-use project almost 20 years in the making is now a real place that both people and some powerful ideas can call home. Among these is a UC San Diego “community station,” one of several field hubs in the San Diego-Tijuana region where the university and a local nonprofit collaborate closely on pressing social needs to make change on the ground.

When it comes to testing drinking water for dangerous contaminants, such as heavy metals like lead or cadmium, continuous testing directly from faucets people drink from is important. Yet, very little of this kind of water testing is done. A team from UC San Diego and the campus spinout Quantitative BioSciences is working to improve the situation.
