  1. #UCDavis - Students Lead #HabitatRestoration at #RussellRanch

    Fri, March 20, 2026

    "At Russell Ranch, just west of campus along Russell Boulevard, a transformation is underway. What was once grazed #pasture and alfalfa field is becoming a thriving #NativeHabitat led by UC Davis students and funded by #TheGreenInitiativeFund, or #TGIF.

    "The Russell Ranch Slough Restoration Project, designed and implemented by the Arboretum and Public Garden’s Learning by Leading™ Ecological Land Management, or #ELM, team, is now at its midpoint. Site preparation is complete, invasive species have been cleared, and nearly 200 native trees and shrubs have been planted along the seasonal slough.

    " 'Projects like this show students that restoration isn’t theoretical. It’s something they can design and implement themselves,' said Miles DaPrato, environmental steward for the Arboretum and Public Garden and staff mentor for the ELM team.

    "Turning Working Land into #WildlifeHabitat

    "The 2.5-acre site sits within the #PutahCreek Riparian Reserve, surrounded by agriculture and rural residences. Rather than separating nature from working landscapes, the project shows how the two can work together — creating habitat while improving the ecological function of the land.

    "This past fall, students removed old livestock fencing that blocked #wildlife movement, prepared the soil, and seeded the site with locally adapted #NativeGrasses and #wildflowers timed to the first seasonal rains.

    "Over the winter, the team planted nearly 200 native trees and shrubs, including #ValleyOak, #Cottonwood, #Willow, #Elderberry and #Toyon. Temporary drip irrigation has been installed to help the young plants establish during their first critical summers. 'You can study restoration in class, but being out here actually doing the work is completely different,' said Keira Folkers, Environmental Engineering, 2026, and Kayden Delvo, Environmental Science and Management, 2026. 'You start to understand the land, the timing of the seasons and the decisions that go into every step.' "

    One of the most publicly visible things UC Access Now did in the beginning was to make apparent to sighted people how often University of California was flouting federal and state laws regarding accessibility. Because we dragged them in public, on Twitter, they started changing (without ever acknowledging our work, of course), but they still do show that ableism dies hard.

    "Lunn Lecture 2025 - 2026 Poster" is not alt text nor an image description. It's a caption. It's something an abled person puts in the alt text field to say that they've put something in there. But that's what is in the alt text field on the UC Davis Dept. of History site. #Ableism #UCDavis #UCAccessNow

  11. ⚙️🌌 UC Davis researchers developed a Stirling engine that generates #electricity by using the temperature difference between #Earth's radiant warmth and the cold void of #space.

    The 200-year-old engine design, invented by Robert Stirling in 1816, produces 400 milliwatts per square meter and can operate day and night.

'We don’t have the ability to predict who’s going to get worse b/c we won’t be able to see them,' said DeCarli, who’s also co-director of the #Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at #UCDavis. His project also had the goal of placing these participants in treatment & prevention trials.
