The Día de los Muertos celebration at the Sherman Heights Community Center is a weeks-long community festivity that preserves the Day of the Dead tradition, itself a millennial practice. This celebration began in 1994, when Sr. Domingo Sandoval, a local resident approached the Center requesting a space to create an altar in honor of his loved ones during Día de los Muertos. Over the years the festivity has grown to include onsite community altars, front-yard altars throughout the neighborhood, craft workshops, online tutorials and videos, an activity guide, student tours and food tastings, a procession and fundraising event. The tradition is a joyous occasion when the memory of our ancestors and the continuity of life is celebrated. Festivities run from mid Oct- Nov. 2nd and are open to the public.

Science and seafood: understanding and protecting a precious natural resource If you love seafood, you’re not alone — but every bite comes from a complex and fragile marine ecosystem. To keep our ocean ecosystems thriving and our seafood resources abundant, we need a deeper scientific understanding of how they function. Join Scripps Oceanography Assistant Professor Dr. Colleen Petrik for a fascinating talk on how cutting-edge ecosystem modeling is helping us understand and protect the marine life we depend on. By blending biology, physics, and mathematics, Dr. Petrik creates “mini ecosystems” on a computer that show how ocean life responds to environmental changes — many of which are driven by human activity. Discover how this innovative approach guides smarter fisheries management and ocean conservation decisions, supporting sustainable seafood for the future. Seating is limited and lectures often sell out, so advanced registration is strongly recommended. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the lecture begins at 7 p.m. Visit: https://aquarium.ucsd.edu/events/perspectives-lecture-series-november Scripps Instn. of Oceanography on Instagram and Facebook
