ANR Adventures

Calling all UC ANR photographers! Be sure to consider entering some of your best ANR in action' photos into this year's contest. Time to enter is limited so consider what might already be in your gallery, or get out there and take some new pictures.

Christopher Chen started his career at UC ANR this week as the Integrated Vineyards Systems Area Advisor, based at the Hopland Research and Extension Center in Hopland, with programmatic responsibilities in Mendocino, Lake and Sonoma Counties.

Happy New Year everyone! I have become accustomed to and accepting of the winter curtailment, but I continue to find it difficult to get my head back into work after a complete shut down for a week or so. I must not be alone because this week is quite light on meetings.

Despite a new COVID variant and the health system on the verge of being overwhelmed in many areas across the U.S., we have many things to celebrate this year, not the least of which are vaccines, home COVID test kits, and perhaps an at-home treatment in the near future.

I left the garage and had a chance to get out to see our programs! I have been in Davis regularly for the last 5 months and even traveled for work a limited amount.
