Are you struggling to find ways to feel lighter and have more joy in the moment? Think about the last time you had a big belly laugh and how you felt afterwards. Laughter has a powerful and immediate effect on our mind, body, emotions, and spirit! The key is that laughter is always in the moment, like the breath, and we can learn to use it as a skill.

Laughter Yoga was founded in 1995 by Indian physician, Dr. Madan Kataria. He had an interesting insight while doing research about humor and laughter. Our bodies get similar benefits whether it’s a spontaneous laugh or simulated laughter. He realized that jokes or comedy are not necessary to laugh and that we all have the innate ability to “laugh for no reason!"

In this class, we don’t tell jokes or rely on humor or comedy, just classical exercises that encourage laughter, deep breathing, stretching, and clapping. The laughter exercises help facilitate a gentle deepening of mindful awareness and an easy connection with other class members. Plus laughter is very contagious!

What are the benefits? Our exercises use laughter as an “in the moment skill” and can:

Increase blood flow and oxygen to all the major organsEnhance endorphin levels which make us feel uplifted and reduce painStimulate the immune, digestive, and cardiac systemsReduce stress levels and boost our emotional well-beingHelp build resilienceRelax, strengthen, and lengthen the muscles with stretchingHelp create a laughing community and strong social connectionEvery Thursday, 6:00-6:45 p.m. PT on Zoom

Orientation: June 23Class Dates: June 30–August 18Retreat: Saturday, August 1Instructor: Nichole ProffittRegister here

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an eight-week program that introduces mindfulness practices in the form of sitting meditation, body awareness, and mindful movement, modeled by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD.

This program can help if stress is having a negative impact on your life, if you are experiencing chronic physical or mental distress, or if you are simply interested in learning ways to maintain health and well-being. Over 6,000 research papers have published findings on the benefits of practicing MBSR including decreased anxiety, depression, pain, and distress, and increased attention, concentration, performance, and quality of life. Recent studies have found that an 8-week MBSR course had comparable effectiveness to a first-line medication for patients with anxiety disorders (JAMA, 2022)

Each MBSR course includes:

An orientation A 30-minute private interview with the instructor before the first class, 8 weekly sessions One daylong retreat on a Saturday or Sunday A unique and essential aspect of the UCSF Osher Center MBSR program is a thirty-minute private interview with the instructor before the first class. This is an opportunity to ask questions about the program’s suitability for any personal circumstances. One may also provide information about their health, challenges, and aspirations that one would like the instructor to know so that they can best support one’s well-being.

The orientation session consists of meeting the instructor and participants, an introduction to what participation in the class entails, history and research on the MBSR model, and instruction and practice of mindfulness techniques.

Justine Miner Professor of Addiction Medicine • Dept. of Family and Community Medicine • UCSF School of Medicine

Are you curious as to what is leading to the dramatic and welcome decline in overdose deaths in the U.S.? Please join us for a robust discussion on the 4th Wednesday in June (to accommodate CPDD conference travelers), where Dr. Dan Ciccarone will explore the seemingly contentious and disparate etiological theories and argue for a synergistic one: a perfect calming. If people want to read ahead, the paper is in preprint and due out formally this month.

Dan Ciccarone, MD, MPH, is the Justine Miner Professor in Addiction Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. He has over 25 years of experience in multi-disciplinary research in the drugs field. "Dr. Dan" is a keen advocate of harm reduction, actively involved in reforming US drug policy and expanding the use of clinical harm reduction technologies and services, e.g., naloxone, buprenorphine, and drug checking.

The UCSF Drug Use Research Group (DURG) is a city-wide seminar attended by faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and other Bay Area investigators centering on persons who use drugs. Started in 2005 after a friendly debate between an epidemiologist and anthropologist on the merits of quantitative versus qualitative research methods, the DURG monthly seminars provide a community platform for new and established investigators to present their work, explore research questions and methods, and to prepare for grant applications and the dissemination of findings in a supportive environment. The seminar has been successful in cultivating new collaborations and mentorship and in sustaining an interdisciplinary and interprofessional dialogue between those engaged in basic sciences, epidemiology, clinical, and public health research.

Our meetings are not recorded or live-streamed. Please contact us if you’d like to present your work or research ideas for friendly consultation and peer review.

Orientation: June 24Class Dates: July 8–August 26Retreat: Sunday, August 16Instructor: James MitchellRegister here

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an eight-week program that introduces mindfulness practices in the form of sitting meditation, body awareness, and mindful movement, modeled by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD.

This program can help if stress is having a negative impact on your life, if you are experiencing chronic physical or mental distress, or if you are simply interested in learning ways to maintain health and well-being. Over 6,000 research papers have published findings on the benefits of practicing MBSR including decreased anxiety, depression, pain, and distress, and increased attention, concentration, performance, and quality of life. Recent studies have found that an 8-week MBSR course had comparable effectiveness to a first-line medication for patients with anxiety disorders (JAMA, 2022)

Each MBSR course includes:

An orientation A 30-minute private interview with the instructor before the first class, 8 weekly sessions One daylong retreat on a Saturday or Sunday A unique and essential aspect of the UCSF Osher Center MBSR program is a thirty-minute private interview with the instructor before the first class. This is an opportunity to ask questions about the program’s suitability for any personal circumstances. One may also provide information about their health, challenges, and aspirations that one would like the instructor to know so that they can best support one’s well-being.

The orientation session consists of meeting the instructor and participants, an introduction to what participation in the class entails, history and research on the MBSR model, and instruction and practice of mindfulness techniques.

This is a safe and welcoming place for us to authentically express ourselves, build resilience, and encourage one another to live our best lives. We don’t shy away from the hard stuff, but we also make a lot of room for joy. We laugh, cry, get real, have fun, and share our lives—most importantly, we’re building community! Our group is facilitated by peers who know what it’s like to live with a brain cancer diagnosis as a young adult.

This group is also open to non-UCSF patients. We meet on the last Thursday of each month, from 6:30 - 8:00 pm (PT).

About the Facilitators:
Dace has worked in a variety of industries as a young adult (hospitality, technology sales, event photography, etc). The one thing that has tied them all together is people. As a lifelong learner, he is committed to developing resilience by leaning in with curiosity and learning to embody a growth mindset no matter the circumstance. He enjoys surfing, music of every conceivable kind, and the quiet comfort of extended time with Mother Nature.

Phoebe (they/them) is a former Californian living in Seattle, Washington. Diagnosed with a grade II oligodendroglioma in 2015, they find solace, inspiration, and joy in connecting deeply with other young adults living with brain tumors.

This is a safe and welcoming place for us to authentically express ourselves, build resilience, and encourage one another to live our best lives. We don’t shy away from the hard stuff, but we also make a lot of room for joy. We laugh, cry, get real, have fun, and share our lives—most importantly, we’re building community! Our group is facilitated by peers who know what it’s like to live with a brain cancer diagnosis as a young adult.

This group is also open to non-UCSF patients. We meet on the last Thursday of each month, from 6:30 - 8:00 pm (PT).

Registration link.

Please Note: As part of the registration process, your enrollment and continued participation is subject to review by our clinical and administrative team. This helps us ensure that the group is appropriate for you and supports a positive and supportive experience for all members. You will be notified via email once the review is complete and your enrollment is confirmed.

About the Facilitators:
Dace has worked in a variety of industries as a young adult (hospitality, technology sales, event photography, etc). The one thing that has tied them all together is people. As a lifelong learner, he is committed to developing resilience by leaning in with curiosity and learning to embody a growth mindset no matter the circumstance. He enjoys surfing, music of every conceivable kind, and the quiet comfort of extended time with Mother Nature.

Phoebe (they/them) is a former Californian living in Seattle, Washington. Diagnosed with a grade II oligodendroglioma in 2015, they find solace, inspiration, and joy in connecting deeply with other young adults living with brain tumors. They aspire to spend most of their time whipping up something involved and delicious in the kitchen or outside, hiking and camping with their pup, Snack.

What becomes possible when gentle movement, breathwork, and play are explored through an integrative health lens?

Movement and breath can be powerful pathways to presence, regulation, and connection. This 5-week online course offers an experiential introduction to two joyful and contemplative practices—qigong and laughter yoga—that support mind–body well-being. Through gentle movement, breathwork, and playful exploration, participants are invited to reconnect with their body and cultivate presence in a supportive, health-informed setting.

Qigong, often translated as “energy cultivation,” is a movement meditation rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Laughter yoga combines intentional laughter with yogic breathing to support emotional balance, stress relief, and resilience. While these practices have distinct qualities, they also complement one another in meaningful ways.

In this course, we explore qigong and laughter yoga both separately and in combination, highlighting how movement, breath, and play can work together to support balance and joy. Participants are invited to meet themselves with curiosity, kindness, and a sense of play.

No prior experience is required.

Our group is facilitated by peers who know what it’s like to live with a brain cancer diagnosis as a young adult.

This group is also open to non-UCSF patients. We meet on the last Thursday of each month, from 6:30 - 8:00 pm (PT).

Session Summary

Coming soon...

Tracy Fulton, PhD, has spent more than 20 years at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where she earned a PhD in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and is now a professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics. As a grad student, while studying telomerase in yeast, she explored her love for teaching as an adult literacy tutor, an animal museum docent, a K-5 classroom helper, and a TA for dental school biochemistry. She settled on professional school education as her target path and since joining the faculty in 2000 has directed and taught in courses in the Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Dentistry. Tracy is now co-directing the Teaching Scholars Program and is a learner in the UCSF-University Medical Center Utrecht doctoral program in Health Professions Education, exploring how students and faculty integrate and use their knowledge in the clinical workplace, with the goal of better informing preclerkship curriculum design.

In the Bridges School of Medicine curriculum, Tracy co-directs the REGulatioN (Renal, Endocrine, GI, Nutrition) block. One of Tracy's main goals has been to transform medical biochemistry from a siloed collection of enzymes and pathways to an applied discipline focused on understanding. She worked with a team to nationally implement and study the Pathways of Human Metabolism Map, a visual tool for health professions students demonstrated to promote deep learning and application of classroom concepts to clinical problems. In her role as a course director she is passionate about helping students see connections between biochemistry and other disciplines and collaborates with faculty locally and nationally in this effort.

Tracy is a member of the Academy of Medical Educators, and held the Academy Chair for Excellence in Foundational Teaching for 2 terms from 2013-2023. Tracy mentors UCSF students in the PILLAR program, and students in UCSF School of Medicine’s postbaccalaureate program. Tracy is active in the International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE), past secretary and current member of the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) committee for the Association of Biochemistry Educators (ABE), and has served on two US Medical Licensing Exam committees. For ~10 years Tracy was a leader in the Aquifer Sciences initiative, a partnership between Aquifer and the International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) to design instructional tools that facilitate integration of basic sciences with clinical reasoning. Finally, Tracy was a member of the group that produced the AAMC Core Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) for Entering Residency in 2014.

About Health Professions Education Grand Rounds (HPEGR):

At these hour-long sessions, participants hear about recent research in health professions education. Presenters may include advanced learners studying in CFE’s master’s and doctoral programs, UCSF faculty who conduct education research, and invited speakers who contribute outside perspectives to advance the scholarly study of health professions education.

The Master's Program in Education is a collaboration between UCSF and the University of California, Berkeley School of Education. The program prepares individuals in the research methodologies needed to undertake research studies in health professions education. Students receive mentoring from faculty in the UC Berkeley, Berkeley School of Education and faculty in the UCSF Center for Faculty Educators.

UCSF collaborates with University Medical Center Utrecht (UMC Utrecht) to offer the Doctoral Program in Health Professions Education. This collaboration makes possible a rigorous program for scholarly advancement for medical education researchers.

This is a safe and welcoming place for us to authentically express ourselves, build resilience, and encourage one another to live our best lives. We don’t shy away from the hard stuff, but we also make a lot of room for joy. We laugh, cry, get real, have fun, and share our lives—most importantly, we’re building community! Our group is facilitated by peers who know what it’s like to live with a brain cancer diagnosis as a young adult.

This group is also open to non-UCSF patients. We meet on the last Thursday of each month, from 6:30 - 8:00 pm (PT).

Registration link.

Please Note: As part of the registration process, your enrollment and continued participation is subject to review by our clinical and administrative team. This helps us ensure that the group is appropriate for you and supports a positive and supportive experience for all members. You will be notified via email once the review is complete and your enrollment is confirmed.

About the Facilitators:
Dace has worked in a variety of industries as a young adult (hospitality, technology sales, event photography, etc). The one thing that has tied them all together is people. As a lifelong learner, he is committed to developing resilience by leaning in with curiosity and learning to embody a growth mindset no matter the circumstance. He enjoys surfing, music of every conceivable kind, and the quiet comfort of extended time with Mother Nature.

Phoebe (they/them) is a former Californian living in Seattle, Washington. Diagnosed with a grade II oligodendroglioma in 2015, they find solace, inspiration, and joy in connecting deeply with other young adults living with brain tumors. They aspire to spend most of their time whipping up something involved and delicious in the kitchen or outside, hiking and camping with their pup, Snack.

Abstract:

For decades, molecular biologists have interpreted gene regulation through measurements of mean gene expression, because they could not resolve regulatory variation among individual cells. The advent of single-cell genomics has now made that variation measurable, revealing pervasive differences in gene expression among apparently similar cells. Whether this variation mainly reflects stochastic noise or an informative regulatory property remains unclear. Here we show that mean-corrected gene expression dispersion is a reproducible and biologically structured feature of gene regulation that reflects regulatory fidelity. In heterogeneous differentiated cardiac cultures, genes with low dispersion are shared across cell types, enriched for housekeeping functions, depleted for expression quantitative trait loci, and more highly connected in transcriptional and protein interaction networks. In a comparative single-cell system spanning human, chimpanzee, and allotetraploid cells, a substantial subset of interspecies differences in regulatory dispersion persists in a shared trans environment, indicating that gene expression fidelity is often regulated in cis. Our findings establish gene expression dispersion as a genetically encoded dimension of gene regulation that is distinct from mean expression, and places dispersion along a fidelity-plasticity axis with implications for development, disease, and threshold-dependent cellular phenotypes.
