![]() ![]() The tree, however, was already occupied by a squirrel, who was not happy to see these two on its property. Below, two of the three hawk siblings met up in a tree on the center lawn on a recent morning. This raptor-rodent interaction has been on display recently as the fledgling hawks are learning to hunt prey. In fact, the squirrels are more likely to come away victorious in a hawk-squirrel showdown. The two species interact frequently, and one might think the hawk would always win an argument, but that's not necessarily the case. McRae's research shows there is a lot we still don't know about the behavior of an animal many of us see every day.I've been observing red-tailed hawks in Tompkins Square Park for well over a decade now and one thing that continues to fascinate me is their relationship with the resident squirrels. "But if they don't respond differently to the different alarm signals, that suggests the differences in these alarm calls isn't about being an alarm call but might be directed at the predator." "If they do use different responses, then the signals are functionally referential and these squirrels are basically using these alarms to get predator-specific information and respond accordingly," he says. McRae is currently working on playback experiments to see how squirrels react to alarm signals. McRae thinks it might not be an either/or situation, and the line between functionally referential and urgency-based alarm signals might be fuzzier than it's made out to be. Squirrel alarms could also be urgency-based, dependent on factors like how close the predator is and how rapidly it is approaching. ![]() (The classic examples of functionally referential alarm signals are those of vervet monkeys, who have specific calls for three different types of predator that each elicit a different and appropriate anti-predator behavior in other monkeys). For example, if a squirrel consistently gives a particular call when a cat is present and that call elicits anti-cat behavior in other squirrels, then the call functions as if it refers to the cat. The call is elicited by this object, and when other animals hear that call, they respond appropriately - as they would to that specific object. Functionally referential signals act as if the call refers to a specific object. If squirrels did respond differently to alarms that signaled terrestrial versus aerial predators, it might indicate that their alarm system is functionally referential. However, he doesn't yet know if squirrels respond in unique ways to the different types of alarm signals. McRae has shown that squirrels respond to other squirrels' alarm calls by becoming more vigilant and retreating up trees. Looking at whether or not tail flags were used reduces that error rate by about 17%, while looking at whether moans are involved in the signal reduces the error rate by about 20%. If terrestrial and aerial attacks are equally common, and a squirrel randomly guesses which type of threat is causing the alarm, it would be wrong about half the time. When McRae and Green looked at the two tail signals by themselves, the twitches were used in lots of different circumstances, sometimes even when there was no predator present.Ĭonsidering the vocal and tail alarms together drastically increased one's ability to predict what was eliciting the calls. Squirrels made quaas more often in response to terrestrial threats, but sometimes used them when an aerial threat approached, as well. "Whether or not they use kuks doesn't really tell you much about what's going on other than something is upsetting the squirrel," says McRae. Tail flags showed a moderate association with the terrestrially approaching model cat.Ĭonsidered by themselves, kuks served as a generic alarm signal. Moans by themselves were specific to the aerially approaching model hawk. Of the three vocalizations and two tail movements, only tail flags and moans were associated strongly with specific predators. Some, but not all, of the alarm signals were associated with predator type, and combinations of tail signals and vocalizations were more strongly associated with threats than either type of signal alone. Overall, McRae and Green found the squirrels have an alarm system with different degrees of specificity. ![]()

![]() So I went to community college, where, because I was finally ready, I thrived. How was I ever going to get into UCLA? I hadn’t excelled in high school. ![]() The expected route from there would have been to use my new technical skills to get a government job. In 2014, I joined the Navy, finishing active service in 2020 before going into the reserves. SOME PEOPLE HAVE A CLEAR VISION of what they want to do with their lives. Soon, I will be a citizen of UCLA, which is a new and different and amazing way of being a citizen of the world. and the Netherlands, and it’s a huge part of who I am. In all of my travels thus far, I have learned so much - about other ways of life, about the people of the world, about myself.Īs a global studies major, I know UCLA will help me continue on this path. So you might say I am the definition of multicultural: I love helping people connect with my cultures and each other’s. I once traveled to Borneo as a volunteer for a conservation organization that’s helping the Bornean sun bear. In high school, I was active with the Black Student Union and also served as a docent for a traveling Anne Frank exhibit. It’s something I’ve discovered through many trips to the Netherlands, where I have explored my Dutch roots, and also at home, diving into my African American heritage. I have always cherished the chance to learn about different cultures and share that knowledge to create greater understanding. My manager at work thought something was wrong. (Now I have an official reason.) When I found out I’d been accepted at UCLA, I started sobbing. GROWING UP IN PASADENA, UCLA and the Rose Bowl were part of my upbringing, and I’ve cheered on the Bruins at endless football games. We were a family now we are a family that goes to college. I scooped up my 10-year-old niece into my arms and ran through the house, alternately whooping for joy and stunned speechless. I saw “Congratulations,” and dropped to my knees. Finally, I took a deep breath and clicked. I was playing softball at home when the phone pinged: “Your admissions decision is ready.” It took me an hour to summon the courage to open it. And about my niece and the role model I wanted to be for her. On the application, I talked about how I’d fallen in love with UCLA while caring for its grounds. ![]() Still, it felt like a half-court shot, applying here. They asked me, “Where would you want to eventually transfer?” and I blurted out, “UCLA.” The audacity - who did I think I was? But I studied my butt off, got good grades, became the student I’d never been in high school. But I was inspired, and decided to go to junior college. Maybe it was the beauty of the campus, or the encouragement of a buddy. I needed a steady job, and I got one: I joined the landscaping staff at UCLA. To go from single man to single parent overnight was overwhelming. In 2012, when I was 29, I became the guardian of my niece. I never took academics seriously.īut the idea of college was always there, just below the surface.

![]() World leaders underestimate how rapid, serious and permanent ecological breakdown will be if humanity fails to mobilizeĪfter 15 years of working to raise climate urgency, I’ve concluded that the public in general, and world leaders in particular, underestimate how rapid, serious and permanent climate and ecological breakdown will be if humanity fails to mobilize. We live in a society in which, despite extraordinarily clear, present, and worsening climate danger, more than half of Republican members of Congress still say climate change is a hoax and many more wish to block action, and in which the official Democratic party platform still enshrines massive subsidies to the fossil fuel industry in which the current president ran on a promise that “nothing will fundamentally change”, and the speaker of the House dismissed even a modest climate plan as “the green dream or whatever” in which the largest delegation to Cop26 was the fossil fuel industry, and the White House sold drilling rights to a huge tract of the Gulf of Mexico after the summit in which world leaders say that climate is an “existential threat to humanity” while simultaneously expanding fossil fuel production in which major newspapers still run fossil fuel ads, and climate news is routinely overshadowed by sports in which entrepreneurs push incredibly risky tech solutions and billionaires sell the absurdist fantasy that humanity can just move to Mars. Will there be a Super Bowl?”īut this isn’t a film about how humanity would respond to a planet-killing comet it’s a film about how humanity is responding to planet-killing climate breakdown. A sports magazine’s cover asks, “The end is near. After political winds shift, the president initiates a mission to divert the comet, but changes her mind at the last moment when urged to do so by a billionaire donor (Mark Rylance) with his own plan to guide it to a safe landing, using unproven technology, in order to claim its precious metals. Desperate, the scientists then go on a national morning show, but the TV hosts make light of their warning (which is also overshadowed by a celebrity breakup story).īy now, the imminent collision with comet Dibiasky is confirmed by scientists around the world. Weighing election strategy above the fate of the planet, she decides to “sit tight and assess”. ![]() The two astronomers are given a 20-minute audience with the president (Meryl Streep), who is glad to hear that impact isn’t technically 100% certain. ![]() This is what it feels like to be a climate scientist today. In one scene, Mindy hyperventilates in a bathroom in another, Dibiasky, on national TV, screams “Are we not being clear? We’re all 100% for sure gonna fucking die!” I can relate. ![]() The panic and desperation they feel mirror the panic and desperation that many climate scientists feel.

Compared to entry-substrates, SignalFire ECL Reagent boasts a more robust signal and extended duration of signal output. When I develop the blot with ECL select and image the. We offer six types of ECL substrates for western blot detection with horseradish peroxidase enzyme (HRP). SignalFire ECL Reagent from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) is an enhanced chemiluminescent substrate capable of detecting picogram amounts of protein by western blot analysis. I develop the membrane with a typical Western blot protocol with a HRP conjugated secondary antibody. Light emission occurs only during the enzyme-substrate reaction therefore, once the substrate in proximity to the enzyme is exhausted, signal output ceases. Total brain tissue was homogenized in RIPA lysis buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors. It uses an enhanced chemiluminescent substrate for western blotting that was developed for film imaging and is also compatible with CCD imaging. When incubated with a blot on which HRP-conjugated antibodies (or other probes) are bound, a chemical reaction emits light at 425 nm which can be captured with x-ray film, CCD camera imaging devices and phosphorimagers that detect chemiluminescence.
