From cutting-edge malaria research to new hope for cystinosis patients; from internet security to understanding the developing, adolescent brain, women in science are changing the world. More importantly, they are changing how research is conducted. In 2013, the FDA advised women to cut the dosage of the sleeping pill Ambien in half, as it was discovered that the active ingredient in the drug stayed in women’s bodies longer than in men’s—a fact that was overlooked in drug trials because of routine bias that does not include sex as a variable in scientific research.

SDCCU has partnered with the San Diego County Office of Education and Live Well San Diego to provide educators the SDCCU Biz Kid$ program, a financial literacy initiative that teaches kids about money and business. The program includes an Emmy Award-winning television series from the creators of Bill Nye the Science Guy, free classroom curriculum, outreach activities and a website for kids. All of the Biz Kid$ episodes adhere to national, state and local standards for financial literacy and entrepreneurship education.

The Reid Lecture Series presents Dr. William Dunham, Professor, Mathematical Historian, and distinguished author, discussing, "Your humble servant, Isaac Newton". In the 20th century, Cambridge University Press published the complete letters of Isaac Newton. Dr. Dunham will share some of his favorite examples from Newton as a correspondent. He will also discuss Newton's first great mathematical discovery: his generalized binomial theorem and its use in approximating square roots.

San Diego Miramar College will host a free science festival on Saturday March 3rd, 2018 from 9:00 a.m. to 12 p.m. for kids from 5 to 99 at its Mira Mesa Campus (10440 Black Mountain Road). The Miramar College science faculty, staff and students will present a morning filled with hands-on lab activities. All ages are welcome and this is a free event with free parking on campus!

Oxygen is required for survival, but just how necessary is it and what limits can be tolerated in extreme low oxygen environments? A panel of UC San Diego scientists will discuss beneficial responses to low oxygen and the unique physiology of species adapted to life ranging from the depths of the sea to the highest villages in the world. They will also explain less adaptive responses that may occur due to illness and potential solutions.
