Even mild physical activity immediately improves memory function, UCI-led study finds

Few incorporate evidence-based features that align with best practices for teaching

UCI shares the public’s concern for the welfare of laboratory animals and we do everything possible to ensure the responsible and humane treatment of animals within our care.  Board-certified veterinarians are on call continuously and play an active role in reviewing research and care. We are committed to reducing the number of animals used, consistently […]

Grants and gifts will support lifesaving research, world-class arts and academic excellence

Sandra Simpkins, UCI professor of education, has been awarded a John Templeton Foundation grant to study how organized after-school activities support character virtue development from childhood through young adulthood. “Little research exists on the issue of the kinds of experiences needed to help keep youth on a virtuous path,” Simpkins said. “Our findings will describe […]

Investigators from UCI’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering, Donald Bren School of Information & Computer Science, and School of Physical Sciences will work together in a new initiative, funded by the National Science Foundation, to perfect the use of data science in climate studies. The Transdisciplinary Research in Principles of Data Science plus Climate project […]

Widely used ‘whole-child’ curricula do not yield superior benefits, UCI-led study finds

UCI, other researchers use machine learning to improve accuracy of climate prediction models

Wound healing is a complex process that involves intricate interplay among multiple skin and immune cell types. When optimal conditions are achieved, wounds can heal by true regeneration, when new hairs and new adipose tissue re-form. However, more commonly, optimal conditions cannot be achieved, and wounds heal by making scars. To help foster true regeneration, […]
