Another amazing Laser Maze event this year at Picnic Day hosted by UC Davis Optics Club - we had more than 1,200 participants come through and it was tons of fun! Thanks to all who helped put this on!

Happy Earth Day....ice clouds over Iceland. We live in a gorgeous world...let's take better care of it!!!!

Exam Tip 2: Invest in #CleanAir

Unique circumstances led to school classrooms in a 5 mile radius receiving air cleaners.

Maths & English standard deviation increases are the equivalent of reducing a class-size by one third!

Got to visit my buddy today on campus UC Davis. He was given a nice shave and cleaned up recently. I suspect that he had a lot of visitors at Picnic Day. Such a nice donkey.

A big annual draw UC Davis #PicnicDay is the Laser Maze UC Davis College of Engineering. The line always wraps around Kemper Hall as it did yesterday. Heard one participant say to someone afterward - 'That was totally worth the experience.' See y'all in a year!

Very good and underrated quarterback. Another important athlete from my sports-crazed childhood is gone. More here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Gab…

Today is the last day of service for the original BART trains.

BART threw a great party. My kids got some cool swag.

And I got this awesome pic of the last two legacy BART trains with my CEE Berkeley office window in the background.

Go BART. Go Bears! 🐻

The term 'floating droplets' is an oxymoron....science writers, please do not ever use this term. It adds to the confusion....aerosols float like smoke and droplets DROP. It's not rocket science!! Richard Corsi, PhD, PE (Texas)

In a randomized controlled trial, machine vision #AI during endoscopy doubled the detection rate of esophageal cancer and precursor lesions

Interesting analysis relevant to COVID-19 transmission while shopping in stores.

1/ Converging on opening of awesome new #CoffeeCenter . The outdoor events patio will be amazing (shown by UC Davis College of Engineering own Dave Griffiths) & the coffee roasters are settling into their new home! I love the scrubbers on roasters & hope for a contest to repurpose fines and oils!

Please count me in with you and Trisha Greenhalgh, Kimberly Prather, Ph.D.. A takeaway from the past four years is that clear, correct, and simple messaging is hugely important. World Health Organization (WHO) continues to struggle on all three fronts.

None of this is rocket science.

Fantastic news. Congratulations to Chen-Nee for this well-deserved recognition.
