One of the slowest creatures on Earth might be heading toward a scientific breakthrough at warp speed. Cal State San Marcos researchers and colleagues recently discovered a population of banana slugs at Palomar Mountain.

Colin Dobbins is used to fighting for wins as a star lacrosse player for Cal State San Marcos. But a few months ago, the 22-year-old offensive midfielder was fighting to recover after a serious injury to his collarbone. Dobbins was participating in a game near the end of the season when tragedy struck, in this case literally.
Despite the physicality and even after two injuries, Dobbins said he wasn’t ready to give up. After all, he has been playing the sport since he was about 4 or 5 years old. But the path back to the field wasn’t easy.

For many students, quantum physics education centers on theory, with few opportunities for hands-on experience. Cal State San Marcos physics professor Justin Perron aims to change that. Perron is leading a three-year, $1,085,815 project supported by the Laboratory for Physical Sciences, targeting one of the most demanding areas in modern science: quantum information science and technology (QIST).
The effort builds on a previous Department of Energy RENEW award that equipped CSU undergraduate faculty to integrate quantum concepts into their courses. Now Perron is tackling the next barrier: getting students hands-on experience with the technology itself.

(short for Recruiting Inclusive, Supportive Educators), a CSUSM initiative aimed at strengthening Southern California’s educator pipeline. Project R.I.S.E. also has shaped Jared Leeds’ experience through program events, where he explored teaching high school students and connected with educators.
The initiative is generously funded by SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, which provided an initial $40,000 grant to launch Project R.I.S.E. last year and has since committed an additional $120,000 to expand the program.
