[H4] Science that helps L.A. communities breathe easier after fires

Air-quality researcher Yifang Zhu, who is a professor in environmental health sciences at UCLA, leads up a research team that is helping the public better understand the air they breathe during and after fires. The projects include examining air quality during and after the January 2025 wildfires, looking at whether and how smoke-damaged belongings can be cleaned, and creating a real-time air quality network in the Palisades.

[IMG: A prefab house gets lowered to the ground]

[H4] Rebuilding faster after fire

After wildfires destroyed thousands of homes, cityLAB-UCLA turned community-engaged research into action. The research center’s recently published “Altadena Prefab Housing Handbook” — developed with community partners and informed by residents affected by the Eaton fire — offers wildfire survivors a clear, practical guide to rebuilding faster and more affordably using prefabricated homes.

[IMG: Fire blazes through street lined with palm trees]

[H4] Using climate change science to help post-fire rebuilds solve the real problems

UCLA professor Alex Hall and a team of climate scientists have conducted research that conclusively shows how climate change made fire fuels 25% drier in the lead up to the January 2025 wildfires. The study has provided evidence-based information that has influenced the national conversation about rebuilding to prevent future disasters.

[IMG: Mockup of city design]

[H4] Rethinking cities in an age of fire

Wildfires are reshaping how Californians live, build and plan for the future. Led by UCLA faculty Hitoshi Abe and Jeffrey Inaba, the publication “FireCity FireLand: Towards a Regenerative Urbanism” distills three years of UCLA-led research examining how cities can adapt to growing wildfire risk, reimagining urban design at the wildland-urban interface that supports resilience, coexistence and long-term public safety.

[H4] How Andrea Ghez unveiled the secrets of the stars

When world-renowned UCLA astrophysicist Andrea Ghez set out to map the heart of our galaxy, skeptics told her it couldn’t be done. Today she stands among science’s elite: a 2020 Nobel laureate — just the fourth woman ever awarded the prize in physics — for her pioneering discovery of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

[IMG: Grid of six children]

[H4] Giving children with immunodeficiency a chance to lead a normal life

For children with the rare condition ADA-SCID, day-to-day activities like going to school or playing with friends can lead to dangerous, life-threatening infections. If untreated, ADA-SCID can be fatal within the first two years of life. A blood stem cell gene therapy co-developed by UCLA’s Dr. Donald Kohn restored immune function in 59 of 62 children with ADA-SCID, with no serious complications reported.

[IMG: An elder man paints oil color on canvas]

[H4] What’s the trick to aging well?

Castel and an international team of psychology researchers have shown that curiosity doesn’t have to fade with age — certain types of curiosity can persist into later life and actually increase. And better yet, they say, older adults who maintain their curiosity and are eager to learn new things relevant to their interests may be able to offset or even prevent cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s
