Girls Garage – Construction + Community
Construction + Community was created as a school-year program for 9th-12th grade girls and a complement to our Young Women’s Design and Building Institute. The course, taking place in three 8-week sessions over the school year, invites high school girls and gender-expansive youth with an interest in architecture, construction trades, design, and engineering, to learn technical construction skills in the context of community service. The program is free for participants, and we also build our projects pro-bono for community clients, focusing on the power of applying our construction skills towards the mutual aid and benefit of our entire community. For students interested in pursuing college pathways or careers in STEM, the trades, design, or architecture, this course is a hands-on exploration of what it means to physically construct the environments in which our community thrives. Using personal power and power tools, we are also building our community, one project at a time.
Dolphins Metagenomics
Marine mammal physiology and overall health can be significantly affected by water quality and environmental exposures among animals that spend long time in enclosed areas. Exposome encompasses diet, pathogens, and persistent organic industrial pollution, which cause mutations, cancers and endocrine disruption. To better understand the effects of environmental exposures and health risk to dolphins, we use environmental chemistry data and correlate it with metagenomics: chemical analysis of animal pens, surrounding areas, and potential sources of pollution within the San Diego Bay will be assessed along with metagenomic sequencing data from intestines and waste to quantify microorganism composition, including bacterial, viral, and parasite profiles of twelve adult female and male dolphins. During the 10-weeks hybrid research course that meets twice per week – once virtually, and once in-person (lab), students will process tissues and biological samples, extract DNA, perform library prep, and obtain metagenomics data via long-sequence reads methodology. Metagenomic profiling will be corelated to concentrations of >200 primary contaminants measured in and around dolphin facility in San Diego Bay. This data will also be compared to metagenomics sequencing of resident bivalves (mussels and oysters) from the area. This work will help better understand the environmental pollution – metagenome associations within at-risk dolphin population form San Diego Bay.
UC San Diego Life Sciences Research Scholars
In collaboration with the Boz Institute, this program offers a distinctive research-based learning experience in the life sciences. Participants will engage in fieldwork and explore core topics in molecular biology, complemented by training in modern laboratory techniques, bioinformatics, and statistical analysis. Students will integrate foundational scientific knowledge with critical research skills, including literature review, hypothesis development, experimental design, sample collection and processing, data analysis, and scientific communication. The program culminates in a formal poster presentation, where students will showcase their research to local scientists and industry professionals.
