“Our work has potential applications in single-cell studies, in tumor heterogeneity studies and, perhaps, in point-of-care cancer diagnostics—especially in developing nations where cost, constrained infrastructure and limited access to medical technologies are of the utmost importance,” says co-author Rahim Esfandyarpour, UCI assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science as well as biomedical engineering.

Guest: Alon Gorodetsky, PhD, Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California, Irvine. Why is this engineering professoris fascinated with cephalopods? Because he thinks he can learn from their superpowers. Can we create camouflage that adapts in real time? Can we build materials that mimic the flexibility of a squid? [Starts 77:00]

Data dating back to El Nino events in 1997 and 2015 show water levels hitting 6 inches to nearly a foot higher than predicted tide levels. And with extremely warm water in recent weeks, it seems the latest El Nino’s coastal impacts of higher water levels are following that trend, said Brett Sanders, a coastal engineering expert [and professor of civil and environmental engineering] at UC Irvine. And it could be a glimpse into the future, he said.
