The Suraj Israni Center for Cinematic Arts at the School of Arts and Humanities recently co-hosted a panel with the SoCal Cineforum featuring industry experts and filmmakers that celebrated the history of filmed entertainment and looked forward into the future of filmmaking.
It was a chance to travel back in time. Hundreds of rare and original materials—as well as 3D reconstructed buildings—were on display during a special event held on Oct. 27 at the Suraj Israni Center for Cinematic Arts. The exhibit and presentation were part of all part of the Turn 1911 Project, a special ongoing collaboration between UC San Diego's School of Arts and Humanities and the Cultural Heritage Engineering Initiative and Italy's Polytechnic University of Turin.
From a cutting-edge brain imaging center to an art gallery with thought-provoking exhibits, the Qualcomm Institute (QI) at UC San Diego encompasses an array of fascinating spaces.
A multidisciplinary cohort of UC San Diego scientists and students are attending the 2023 Conference of the Parties, or COP28, in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates .

Jason Magabo Perez recites "We Draft Work Songs for this City," filmed at UC San Diego's Park and Market. The poem was originally performed in January 2023 at San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria's State of the City Address.
A new mathematical model predicts that mammalian sperm cells have two distinct swimming modes. This prediction opens new questions about potential connections between sperm cells’ motor activity and their transitions to hyperactivation phases that may play an important role in fertilization. The finding is part of a larger effort to use math and fluid dynamics to describe how mammalian sperm move. The research is led by a team of engineers at the University of California San Diego. The new work was published in the journal Physical Review Fluids on 15 November, 2023.
