Mon, 04/17/2023 - 9:51pm | Rohan

If you pass by UC Davis’ Toomey Field on spring weekends you’ll see a team of athletes engrossed in practicing their sprints, jumps, and throws. They are the track and field members of Team Davis, the Special Olympics team for Yolo County. Hear how Special Olympics started as a backyard summer camp and grew into a global movement that changed attitudes about ability and inclusion. Robin Dewey tells us how Team Davis enriches the lives of children and adults with developmental, cognitive, and physical disabilities. Then visit Chicago, home to the first Special Olympics. With its towering skyscrapers, deep dish pizzas, and loaded hotdogs, find out why the Windy City is not actually the windiest city in the U.S.

Davisville, April 17, 2023: You might not know this, but spiders are not out to get you

Mon, 04/17/2023 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Emma Jochim, a PhD candidate in entomology at UC Davis, has a particular interest in trapdoor spiders, plus a knack for explaining arachnids in ways that make them seem less creepy to the public. She used those skills at a recent Bohart Museum of Entomology open house, and uses them again on today’s Davisville when we talk about spider myths. For example: Many people think poisonous brown recluse spiders exist in California, and they don’t. Nor do you ingest several spiders in your sleep each year.

Communicating accurate information to the public isn’t easy, and our conversation about that includes a post by a UC Riverside arachnologist frustrated by beliefs "solidly based on erroneous general consensus.”
