Exploring the magic and mystery of mushrooms with the LA Mycological Society
"There's an otherworldliness to them," said David Bermudes, a microbiologist at Cal State Northridge who leads a monthly mushroom class for mycological society members at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. "Plants and animals seem so familiar - we see them all the time. But we don't spend 365 days a year with mushrooms. There's an unfamiliarity there that's intriguing." -- phys.org

"Each time I saw Professor O'Neil after leaving Pierce [College] in 1996, he would say the same thing: 'When are you going to go back to school and get your graduate degree and teach a journalism course?' I would always return with: 'Rob, you know that I'm not a teacher. I'm a journalist,'" said Michelle Hofmann, a lecturer at California State University, Northridge (CSUN). "Coming out of the dark time after my mother's death, I thought I'd trust the professor who changed my life and give teaching a go. I'm glad I did.

More teachers wanted across California
“If there’s not a whole lot of support and they’re working long hours for low money, they leave the field,” said Wendy Murawski, the executive director and Eisner Endowed Chair of Cal State Northridge’s Center for Teaching and Learning. “Everybody comes in and wants to give 110 percent, but you can’t do that long term.” The bills introduced this year include ones that give teachers tax credits, exempt them from state income taxes, prevent districts from charging new teachers fees, give financial incentives for teaching in under-served communities and provide grants for them to teach certain hard-tofill subjects. -- Daily Democrat

It’s a sunny winter Friday morning, and Sky Daniels is relaxing in his office in the studios at KCSN 88.5 FM/Los Angeles. Perched on a third floor corner of California State University, Northridge’s architectural jewel, the Valley Performing Arts Center, the station’s headquarters boasts large windows and expansive studio rooms decorated with souvenirs from grateful musicians, like an album autographed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and a guitar signed by Rachael Yamagata. The place has room for plenty of people — which is a good thing, because musicians and music fans flock to Daniels’ side. -- Military Technologies News

Duma, with Berman, Lander and Elam as co-authors, tried to begin a study of brain/stem cell injections. But their first attempt at Institutional Review Board approval was denied because they hadn’t done animal testing. So they got Dr. Oleg Kopyov at Cal State Northridge to conduct tests on rats. -- West Hawaii Today
