Join us for Ancient DNA: New Revelations, a free CARTA public symposium! Dramatic advances in ancient DNA technologies have revolutionized our understanding of the human past. Since the publication of the first ancient human genomes in 2010, the field of archaeogenomics has grown at an astonishing pace, and today the genomes of more than 10,000 ancient humans have been sequenced. From discovering surprising new members of the human lineage to revealing the unexpected histories of infectious diseases to tracking the great migrations that laid the foundations of present-day societies, ancient DNA is rewriting the human story. This symposium explores the diverse applications of archaeogenomics in shaping not only a new vision of the human past, but also in creating a greater understanding of the present and our shared human future. This symposium is an update to our April 2016 event, Ancient DNA and Human Evolution. Event Details Date: Friday, November 7, 2025 Time: 1 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. (Pacific) Location: Salk Institute & Live Webcast More Information & Registration: https://carta.anthropogeny.org/ This is a public symposium presented by the Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny.

What happens in Washington doesn’t stay there — it reaches all the way into San Diego’s labs, hospitals, and classrooms.

Trinity Theatre Company is thrilled to announce their Grown Up Stage’s production of "Witch" by Jen Silverman running from October 17 - November 2. The production is directed by Sean Boyd, Executive Artistic Director of Trinity Theatre Company. 'Witch" runs at Trinity’s Mission Valley location in the Mission Valley Mall. Synopsis: What if the devil offered to grant your deepest desire? In "Witch" by Jen Silverman, ambition, power, and temptation take center stage in a bold and blisteringly funny modern adaptation of a 17th-century Jacobean drama. Set in the rural village of Edmonton, the story follows Elizabeth Sawyer—a woman branded a witch not for casting spells, but for daring to speak her mind. When a charming devil arrives offering deals in exchange for souls, the villagers are tempted to trade morality for personal gain. But Elizabeth has her own plans. Sharp, satirical, and wickedly relevant, Witch skewers the patriarchy, exposes the cost of compromise, and questions what it truly means to claim your power. Sean Boyd, Executive Artistic Director of Trinity Theatre Company and Director of "Witch" shared: “There is something extra special about this one. Jen Silverman is known for her masterful ability to use satire to make us look at, laugh at and critique some of society's biggest social issues. "Witch" is no exception. This outstanding cast is sparring beautifully with her language - and I can’t wait to bounce it off of a live audience.” Tickets Trinity Theater Co. on Instagram and Facebook
