NoneTwo UC Santa Cruz faculty members, Richard (Ed) Green and Chris Benner, have been selected as awardees for the eighth annual Santa Cruz Works Titans Awards , which recognize outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions to the local tech and entrepreneurial community. Santa Cruz Works, a non-profit organization focused on connecting industry professionals and expanding local startups, will honor the awardees at a ceremony on January 15, 2024 at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center. Pioneering paleogenomics and forensic genomics Ed Green is a professor of biomolecular engineering at the Baskin School of Engineering, director of UCSC QB3 , and co-principal investigator of the UC Santa Cruz Paleogenomics Lab . Santa Cruz Works named Green a "visionary scientist and entrepreneur," recognizing his advancements in DNA technologies and his role in founding local startups and mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs. Green’s research has uncovered groundbreaking insights into human evolution, including the genetic exchange between early modern humans and Neanderthals. He was a key contributor in the Nobel-Prize winning Neanderthal Genome Project , collaborating with Nobel laureate Svate Pääblo to sequence and compare the genomes of Neanderthals, Denisovans, and modern humans. As the faculty director of UCSC QB3 , a nonprofit research and technology institute, Green supports researchers, graduate students, and postdocs to transform research into impactful startups and collaborate with industry partners. Green has also developed several successful startups of his own, contributing to the rich ecosystem of bioengineering entrepreneurship in Santa Cruz. Originally founded at UCSC, Dovetail Genomics, now part of Cantata Bio, enables researchers and clinicians to solve complex scientific problems through advanced genomic approaches. Another local company founded by Green, called Claret Biosciences, focuses on next-generation sequencing technologies to analyze degraded DNA for applications such as cancer research. Green developed a breakthrough method for sequencing DNA from rootless hair to identify human remains, a task once deemed impossible, leading to the resolution of numerous cold cases. He achieved this as co-founder and scientific advisor of Astrea Forensics, which uses new technologies to advance forensic DNA analysis and solve complex cases.. Advancing equity and economic opportunity Environmental Studies and Sociology Professor Chris Benner is the Dorothy E. Everett Chair in Global Information and Social Entrepreneurship, director of the Institute for Social Transformation, and director of the Everett Program for Technology and Social Change. The Santa Cruz Works Titans Awards recognized Benner for his “groundbreaking work champion[ing] equity and economic opportunity by reshaping narratives and policies to highlight collaboration and mutuality.” Specifically, the award recognizes the Solidarity Economics framework that Benner co-developed to challenge neoliberal norms and the application of Solidarity Economics to “transformative initiatives” like the Salinas Inclusive Economic Development Initiative , the state-wide Community Economic Mobilization Initiative , and California’s $600 million Jobs First program. Santa Cruz Works credits Benner’s contributions to these programs with “fostering justice, innovation, and impact.” Benner has taught at UC Santa Cruz since 2015. He originally received his Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning from UC Berkeley and went on to become a leading scholar of the relationships between technological change, regional development, and the transformation of work and employment. He approaches these issues with a special focus on equity and environmental justice, informed by his background in community-based advocacy and research. Benner has conducted extensive applied policy work related to workforce development, inclusive economic development, and strategies for promoting regional equity. He has also authored or co-authored eight books and more than 100 academic journal articles, chapters, and research reports. Journalists often seek his commentary on how to improve economic well-being, health, and sustainability in communities and how emergent technologies may impact “the future of work.”'Open your doors': Notre Dame re-opens after five-year refitph365 register 。

Iowa moves on without injured quarterback Brendan Sullivan when the Hawkeyes visit Maryland for a Big Ten Conference contest on Saturday afternoon. Former starter Cade McNamara is not ready to return from a concussion, so Iowa (6-4, 4-3) turns to former walk-on and fourth-stringer Jackson Stratton to lead the offense in College Park, Md. "Confident that he'll do a great job," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said of Stratton on his weekly radio show. "He stepped in, did a really nice job in our last ballgame. And he's got a good ability to throw the football, and he's learning every day. ... We'll go with him and see what we can do." Iowa had been on an upswing with Sullivan, who had sparked the Hawkeyes to convincing wins over Northwestern and Wisconsin before suffering an ankle injury in a 20-17 loss at UCLA on Nov. 8. Stratton came on in relief against the Bruins and completed 3 of 6 passes for 28 yards. Another storyline for Saturday is that Ferentz will be opposing his son, Brian Ferentz, an assistant at Maryland. Brian Ferentz was Iowa's offensive coordinator from 2017-23. "We've all got business to take care of on Saturday," Kirk Ferentz said. "I think his experience has been good and everything I know about it. As a parent, I'm glad he's with good people." Maryland (4-6, 1-6) needs a win to keep its hopes alive for a fourth straight bowl appearance under Mike Locksley. The Terrapins have dropped five of their last six games, all by at least 14 points, including a 31-17 loss at home to Rutgers last weekend. "It's been a challenging last few weeks to say the least," Locksley said. The challenge this week will be to stop Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson, who leads the Big Ten in rushing yards (1,328) and touchdowns (20), averaging 7.1 yards per carry. "With running backs, it's not always about speed. It's about power, vision and the ability to make something out of nothing," Locksley said. "This guy is a load and runs behind his pads." Maryland answers with quarterback Billy Edwards Jr., who leads the Big Ten in passing yards per game (285.5) and completions (268). His top target is Tai Felton, who leads the conference in catches (86) and receiving yards (1,040). --Field Level Media
