This Winter break, the team behind our social accounts will be stepping away to rest and spend time with loved ones. From 12/20/24-1/5/25, we will not be posting new content or answering questions until we return, so the team can focus on their friends, family and health. We hope you get some rest as well. See you on January 6th, Aggies! Image description: A watertower graphic on a blue background with snowflakes above it. "Winter Break" in yellow font is centered with the UC Davis logo below it.

New research from UC Davis reveals that the social cost of carbon – the price tag on climate damages from CO2 – is underestimated. When key risks are included, the cost jumps to over $280 per ton. https://lnkd.in/gWb3bSgM

Nigeria has adopted a new policy to fortify bouillon cubes with essential micronutrients, including iron and zinc, based on a model developed by UC Davis researchers. This change aims to combat malnutrition and reduce child mortality, with the potential to save over 57,000 lives by 2030. Learn more about how the research is making an impact.

🚨 Research alert! 🚨 A new paper from UCDavis is shedding light on when and where to plant tree seedlings to help restore forests after high-severity wildfires, and it has a lot to do with shrubs. In hotter, drier areas where natural regeneration is weaker, well-timed tree planting can boost recovery by up to 200%, but the outcome also depends on competition with shrubs.
