Congress is considering drastic cuts to scientific research, and America’s health, security and prosperity hang in the balance. Join @UofCalifornia in speaking up for science and asking lawmakers to reinvest in federal research agencies. #SpeakUp4Science bit.ly/45GCrVB

A secure nation starts with strong federal investment in science. @Scripps_Ocean, @WHOI and @AdmJohnMRichar1 make the case in @washingtonpost for why ocean research is vital to U.S. national security. #SpeakUp4Science wapo.st/44IYJ8e

"Our way of life depends on secure, reliable access to the maritime domain — above and below the surface," @PdeMenocal of @whoi, @Leinen4ocean of @Scripps_Ocean and @AdmJohnMRichar1 write. "But to lead at sea, we must understand the sea." wapo.st/3TSG8Aq

Behind every breakthrough or cure, @UofCalifornia ingenuity is driving the economy and helping people live longer, healthier lives. bit.ly/46LvcMo #BoldlyCalifornia

California's budget defers $130M in core funds and $271M in Compact funding. What does that mean? We avoided cuts to @UofCalifornia this year—but funding we need was deferred. Since deferred funding isn't guaranteed, we have to keep UC a priority. politi.co/4eOgu9n

#ICYMI: CA’s 2025–26 budget defers $130M in core funds and $271M in Compact funding to future years for #UC. We’re grateful cuts were avoided—but deferrals aren’t guarantees. Let’s keep pushing for full funding for @UofCalifornia. politi.co/4eOgu9n

You don’t need new UC research to know it's getting hotter—but you might need new @NSF-funded UC research to know there’s a way it can feel up to 10 degrees cooler outside. @UCLA researchers are using new techniques to bring more shade to outdoor spaces. bit.ly/3GU9jjv

Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks to the spirit of collaborative and open science that @ucsc scientists helped promote. bit.ly/40kV126

.@UCSF researchers created the world’s first shape-shifting synthetic protein by leveraging AI. The new proteins could block existing ones from causing disease, and eventually, they could be used as medicine—just like GLP1s or insulin. #SpeakUp4Science bit.ly/44wtmfR

The University of California Board of Regents announced the appointment of Dr. Dennis Assanis as @ucsantabarbara's sixth chancellor. He will assume his role on September 1, 2025. Welcome to UC Chancellor Assanis! bit.ly/4m0syXA

Today I’m with the UC Board of Regents, @UofCalifornia’s governing body, to discuss some of the most pressing issues facing our community and how we’re working to strengthen the impact of our university on communities across California. I’m breaking down what we’re focused on. ⬇️

The UC Board of Regents announced the appointment of the next UC Student Regent, Miguel Craven. Miguel earned his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from @ucmerced and is currently pursuing his master’s degree in Energy Systems at @ucdavis. He is passionate about…

Pain is mostly understood as a symptom of a deeper problem, and yet sometimes it persists after an injury heals or a disease ends. Scientists at @ucsf are working to rewire the brain’s pain pathways and unlock lasting relief. bit.ly/3U4lddP

Have you seen @UofCalifornia’s new career pathways dashboard? We launched an interactive site to show how UC degrees lead to high-growth careers, spotlight the contributions of UC alumni in the California workforce, and show the economic growth of alums. bit.ly/46JxMCD

Over 90% of the lowest income students at UC and 50-70% of middle- income students go on to earn more than their parents. A @UofCalifornia education puts our grads on a path of economic mobility—propelling families, communities, and the state forward.

📢 Let's #SpeakUpForScience! Cuts to federal science spending will cost every American—endangering jobs, health, and even national security. Join @UofCalifornia in telling Congress to oppose cuts to federal research funding. universityofcalifornia.quorum.us/campaign/scien…

That’s a wrap on the 2024–25 UCAN Student Ambassador program! To close out the year, our ambassadors spoke with @UCPrezDrake about the power of student advocacy and how their voices can drive real change. #UCAdvocate

Join us and #SpeakUp4Science to protect federally-funded research across @UofCalifornia that benefits Americans by creating jobs, treating and curing diseases, strengthening national security, and growing the economy. bit.ly/45GCrVB

The Trump administration’s proposed budget cuts will affect every single American who benefits from UC’s groundbreaking research, lifesaving discoveries, and national security innovations. bit.ly/3IchOXo
