MBARI received a grant to study the relationship between atmospheric warming and ocean acidification. Bill Tyselling, Executive Director of the Santa Cruz Chamber of Commerce, explores how tech momentum is pushing Santa Cruz. Robot Theater workshops coming to Santa Cruz in August will give local educators, students, and artists an opportunity to find out how dancing robots can help balance gender parity in STEM.
