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.

"Make a Joyful Noize (MAJN)" is a multimedia experience that blends music, film, and movement to capture the visceral and contagious energy of Black joy. Joy gives us a reason to live, even when it seems life has forsaken us. Black joy is entertainment, therapy, self-love, and salvation. It is the thing that allows us to still laugh and love. Soul Science Lab (SSL) is a music and multimedia duo powered by Chen Lo and Asante Amin. The two are storytellers who inspire the future with hip hop, jazz, soul and stunning visuals installations. The duo’s current projects include "Soundtrack ’63," "Make a Joyful Noize" (commissioned by Carnegie Hall), and "The Renaissance Mixtape" (commissioned by the Apollo Theater). SSL has released three studio albums: "Footprints," "The Visitor: Alter Destiny," and "Plan for Paradise." SSL has also developed a culturally responsive education platform for music creatives and educators at Soul Science University—just call them innovative Afro-futuristic griots.

A chance discovery by a NASA rover on Mars shows that the red planet has a form of lightning, which researchers had suspected for decades but never seen.

Many Black San Diegans left or were forced out of their neighborhoods due to redlining, freeway construction, other policy decisions and the high cost of living. We dive into some of that history and ongoing efforts to revitalize that sense of community and cultural identity. But first, a breakdown of Proposition 50.

More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

There are plenty of ways to volunteer at the Birch Aquarium. But did you know scuba divers can also lend a hand, or a fin? They clean the tanks, feed the fish and teach visitors about our oceans.

Join us for a lecture by Olivia Zen Joseph, curator of "Layered Narratives," developed during their time at Mingei as the Quilt Fellow. This talk explores how quilts from the era and firsthand accounts of Black American experiences reframe the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition — the United States’ first World’s Fair. While the Centennial aimed to celebrate national identity and innovation, the lecture sheds light on the overlooked contributions and voices of Black women and the Black community, expanding understanding of this historic event through stories too often left untold. Olivia Zen Joseph is a Program Coordinator at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino and the curator of "Layered Narratives: Quilted Stories of Gender & Race at the 1876 Centennial." Drawn to interpretation, history, and storytelling, they are passionate about uncovering the complex meanings and histories embedded in art and objects. Olivia entered the museum field through an internship in Collections Management and Conservation at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Looking ahead, they plan to pursue a degree in Library and Information Science with the goal of becoming an archivist. Mingei International Museum on Facebook / Instagram
