The Norris Center for Natural History at UCSC: What is it? Why is it there? With Professor Ingrid Parker and Center Director Chris Lay
Episode 171
Monday, 8 December, 2025
The Kenneth S. Norris Center at UC Santa Cruz is one of the little-known jewels of the campus as well as the Monterey Bay Region. Ken Norris was an American marine mammal biologist, conservationist, naturalist, and co-founder of SeaWorld, as well as a professor of natural history at UCSC. He was the creator of the UC Natural Reserve System, too. The Norris Center holds a vast collection of insects, plants and seeds from the Santa Cruz Mountains and supports classes, internships and research by UCSC students, faculty and staff. Join me in two weeks for a conversation about the Norris Center with Professor Ingrid Parker, the Center’s Faculty Director and Chris Lay, the Center’s Director. Find out about the Center’s treasures and how you can see them!
