Your day, your vibe, your ocean. San Diego’s social scene is getting its first floating day club — a lifestyle-driven experience that blends the energy of a beach club, the curated vibe of a waterfront rooftop, and the aesthetic of a music festival, all on the water. For Drop 001, launching Saturday, October 18, we’re teaming up with SoundCheck OC for a music-forward debut that sets the tone for the series ahead. Every detail is curated for the moments that matter most: music, views, bars and spaces made for connection, movement, and pure enjoyment before the sun goes down. Plan to arrive between 3:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. to score the best parking and be in place at the gate by 4 p.m. When our yacht is dockside and ready for boarding at 4:30 p.m., our DJ will already be setting the soundtrack — bass lines pulsing through the decks, tropical rhythms spilling out over the pier, and the first beats of the afternoon drawing you in. At 5 p.m., we’ll cruise off for 90 minutes of sunlit, open-air music with four DJs. From deep house to nu disco grooves and coastal tropical blends, the yacht becomes a moving coastal waterfront-themed beach club — and anyone who knows, knows the best experiences happen before the sun goes down.

Lecture title: Sensing danger: How the nervous and immune systems coordinate inflammation - Front Row lecture with Alejandra Mendoza, PhD Description: Just as we can distinguish between the sting of heat and the chill of cold, our immune system is finely tuned to recognize and respond to a wide range of threats, from viruses and bacteria to allergens and injury. This complex sensing relies on communication between diverse cell types, including sensory neurons and immune cells, to ensure responses are tailored to the specific challenge. In this free Front Row lecture, assistant professor Alejandra Mendoza will explore how neuro-immune cellular circuits regulate inflammation, pain, and immunity. By bridging neuroscience and immunology, her research is revealing how our bodies interpret signals from the environment to guide immune decisions, from fighting infections to controlling tumor growth and chronic inflammatory diseases. About Scripps Research: Scripps Research is an independent, nonprofit biomedical institute based in La Jolla, California, and ranked one of the most influential in the world for its impact on innovation.
