"UC Santa Barbara has the highest participation rate in S.N.A.P. out of all UC campuses, according to fall 2019 data. Almost 3,000 students applied for benefits in the last year, out of 56,000 recipients in the entire Santa Barbara County (SBC), according to county data.

Skimming, when someone attaches illegitimate technology to card readers to copy Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) information, resulted in 700 cards being canceled in the month of January, SBC Public Information Officer Kelsey Buttitta told the Nexus. While the county could not specify how many, some of these accounts included UCSB students who received letters from the county stating that their information was at risk of being compromised."

Herbert Kroemer, Nobel winner who developed laser tech, dies at 95

#Herbert #Kroemer, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who spearheaded the development of a new kind of semiconductor, leading to Information Age advances at the heart of everything from bar-code scanners, CD players and cellphones to satellite communications and fiber-optic networks, died March 8 at 95.


His death was announced by the University of California at Santa Barbara ( #UCSB ), where he had been on the faculty for nearly 50 years.

A statement from the school’s chancellor, Henry T. Yang, did not say where or how he died but credited Dr. Kroemer with “transforming UC Santa Barbara into a leader in engineering and #materials #science.”

A German-born researcher with a thick white beard and heavy skepticism of scientific authority, Dr. Kroemer was awarded a share of the #Nobel #Prize in #physics in 2000 for developing #semiconductor #heterostructures, layered devices that proved foundational to advanced lasers and high-speed transistors.

He shared his half of the prize with the Russian physicist Zhores Alferov, who worked independently but in parallel to develop the devices; the other half went to Jack Kilby, a researcher at Texas Instruments who played a central role in the invention of the integrated circuit, or microchip
