📰 News we're reading
• SB 1164 Could Give Davis a Path Back to At-Large Council Elections (davisvanguard.org) — Davis residents may soon have a new option for how they elect City Council members, as SB 1164 could let the city move away from district elections toward a citywide proportional ranked-choice system while still complying with voting-rights laws. The piece explains how Davis ended up with districts, why many races are now uncontested, and what this state bill might change for future local elections. 
• Yolo County educator Melissa Moreno receives the 2026 Capital Region Individual Artist Fellowship (dailydemocrat.com) — Yolo County educator and historian Melissa Moreno has earned a 2026 Capital Region Individual Artist Fellowship for her community-driven exhibits on land, labor, and social justice, many created with Davis-based partners. Her projects have involved UC Davis Archives, the Davis Art Alliance, and local youth to highlight overlooked farmworker and community histories. Residents can look for her exhibits in county spaces and future collaborations.
• Gen Z Was Told We Would Save the World. Is It Delusional to Think We Still Can? (myvetcandy.com) — A UC Davis veterinary student, Morgan Lunn, helped launch Vet Scientia, a virtual anesthesia‑training platform that won a major prize in UC Davis' 2025 Big Bang! competition, showcasing local innovation in vet education. Her work is highlighted alongside other Gen Z veterinary students nationwide who are tackling access to care, mentorship, diversity, and burnout before they even graduate.
