55. Kickoff with Scott Marsh

Sports broadcaster Scott Marsh tells us about his journey to being the play-by-play voice for UC Davis football and basketball and his advice to aspiring broadcasters. Hear how Scott got his start at UC Davis’ student-run radio station KDVS, how he uses his business degrees from UC Davis in his job at SacTownSports 1140 AM KHTK, and the secret of his broadcasting versatility as GameNight host at Sacramento Kings basketball games and the co-host of Golf to Go Hour. Then we talk about Aggie football's upcoming 2022 season, starting with their kickoff game against Cal in Berkeley this weekend.

Davisville, Aug. 29, 2022: At UC Davis, researchers work on restoring the ability to speak

Imagine that you want to speak, but you can’t, because a stroke or disease has robbed you of the ability. Two researchers at UC Davis are helping to create a “brain-machine interface” that would use a brain implant and technology to recreate an individual's ability to talk. That advance would be profoundly important to the individual, of course, and for all of us, it’s a promising use of technology.

Today on Davisville we talk with Drs. David Brandman and Sergey Stavisky about their research, how the interface would work, who it can help, recent advances in neuroprosthetics, the novel leadership set-up of their lab, and what brought them to UC Davis.
