To the UC Davis community:
As we reach the end of this very challenging quarter, we want to commend students, faculty and staff for their resilience in the face of the many disruptions brought on by the COVID-19 public health emergency. Our continued monitoring of the situation leads us to even more difficult decisions for spring quarter 2020.
As we continue to monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, we want to ensure our most vulnerable students receive necessary support during this time of crisis. For many, the UC Davis campus is a haven. Community spaces like Aggie Compass and The Pantry provide essential services for students facing housing issues and food insecurity. In a time of crisis, ensuring that these services continue is of utmost importance.
Chemistry magic dazzled students from Woodland’s Lee Middle School during a campus visit to UC Davis. The event was not only an opportunity for Lee Middle School students to see science in action, it was an opportunity for them to meet their UC Davis pen pals.
The popular painkiller ibuprofen may have more significant effects on the liver than previously thought, according to new research from the University of California, Davis. The study in laboratory mice also shows marked differences between males and females.

We asked UC Davis College of Biological Sciences virologists Priya Shah and Samuel Díaz-Muñoz for their thoughts on the coronavirus and its effect on the public.
Some species of fish, notably parrotfish and wrasses living on coral reefs, change their biological sex as they age, beginning life as females and later becoming functionally male. New work from the University of California, Davis, shows that this sequential hermaphroditism evolves when bigger males gain an advantage in reproductive success.
