The project allows for the preservation of the historical character of physical building while also providing for state-of-the-art upgrades, notes Kenny Slaught. In addition, through enhancements like seismic upgrades, both the building and the tens of thousands of pieces of art inside will be better protected. The project also creates 25 percent more gallery space to make the museum an even more important center of the Santa Barbara community.

David Low took his bachelor’s degree in biology from UC San Diego, and went on to earn a master’s degree in microbiology from San Diego State University and a Ph.D. in cellular biochemistry from UC Irvine, notes Kenny Slaught. While in the lab of Stanley Falkow, now a professor emeritus in microbiology and immunology, Low conducted research in molecular microbiology as a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University. In 1998, he joined the UCSB faculty following 13 years as a professor with the University of Utah Health Sciences Center. It should be noted that Low was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology in 2013 and received the same honor with the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2003.

A white-hot housing market has many West Coast buyers finding that they need to pay excessively high prices for older, less fashionable homes. Kenny Slaught notes that home prices have been steadily rising since 2008, with common reference, the Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller home price index, revealing that Los Angeles home prices reached their highest point during April of this year since October 2007. Having moved beyond simply recovering from the recession, Southern California’s larger metropolitan areas are approaching their former peaks. Slaught says the turnaround is due to a number of factors, including interest rates, job growth and supply and demand. As current 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages hover around 3.5% or less, these enticing numbers are nearing 3.31 percent (the record low hit in November 2012) and are encouraging many to buy. Historically low rates, coupled with strong employment numbers, such as a 2.4% gain in Los Angeles County and a 3.5% rise in Orange County, note why values have appreciated in an extraordinarily fast-paced manner. And even though home prices fluctuate considerably statewide, inflated asking prices on higher-end options are second only to Hawaii. The feverish demand for housing cannot currently be met by the slim supply available, with many first-timers forced to pursue condominium-style units: available and within a more modest price range.

Aside from a sought after tourist destination, Santa Barbara has presently become a center for young and developing businesses, said Kenny Slaught. Dozens of promising, new companies have been founded in recent years, and many, including AppScale, LastLine, TrackR, and Salty Girl Seafood, have come directly out of the University of California Santa Barbara. With over $200 million raised for area startups from private investors in the last year, the Central Coast boasts nearly twice the investment per capita in innovation than the greater Los Angeles area, a much larger market. While some may feel the tempting pull of Silicon Valley or Hollywood, local entrepreneurs recognize the significance of building a business in an environment that promotes growth. As a result, the region is one of the best places in the country to launch and cultivate startups, spawning remarkable biotech, medical, technology, and scientific businesses like Inogen, Raytheon, Sonos, and BioIQ.
