2 million cars, mostly sold in Southern California since 2017, with anti-theft systems installed by dealers are at higher risk of theft. There is a fix but most car owners are not aware they're vulnerable.

Our engineers are doing critical work to keep buildings and infrastructure safe during earthquakes at the world's only outdoor earthquake simulator, one the three biggest such facilities in the world!
#earthquake #seismicsafety
🚨 Earthquakes rocked San Diego County this week!
Good news: @UCSanDiego's world-famous shake table is helping make buildings, bridges & other structures safer when the ground shakes. 💪🌍
Thanks to support from @NSF!

By assessing how “sticky” tumor cells are, researchers have found a potential way to predict whether a patient’s early-stage breast cancer is likely to spread. The discovery could help doctors identify high-risk patients and tailor their treatments. bit.ly/41xoAwW

For decades, @NIH funding has fueled breakthroughs in cancer, heart disease and more. But a new policy puts progress at risk. We’re asking Congress to oppose this abrupt change. Email your lawmakers!
