Introduction-Andrew Davidson


    My name is Andrew Davidson and I am a 4th year history major at UCR. I am interested in pursuing a career in teaching after I graduate this spring. I would like to teach high school history classes. 
    One of my interests is fitness where I enjoy going to gym and weightlifting. I am currently powerlifting where I am trying to become as strong as possible. I also have a part-time job at UPS where I work nights so I am often a night owl. 
    I have always enjoyed riding dirt bikes in the desert where my family and I go camping. Even as a kid I noticed how many other campers went to areas such as Joshua Tree and Lucerne Valley and left their trash behind. When we would have a fire at night we grabbed the flashlights and in the distance we could see the eyes of coyotes. They dug through the trash and ate whatever they could find. Over time the area we often went to became worse and was destroyed by the thousands of campers that went there every year. The trails that used to be used by animals in the desert looked as if convoys of trucks had rolled through the area. Even the hills and mountains were destroyed by the many trucks and dirt bikes who tried to climb the slopes. 

    Fun fact about me is I actually crashed my dirt bike in the desert in 2014 where I was lost for two hours with a broken arm. It took a few years to heal but I am perfectly fine now.

    Is there any organization of dirt bike riders that takes an ACTIVE interest in desert conservation? I used to hunt ducks when I was young and always subscribed to Ducks Intl, a conservation org that protects habitat etc. Save the habitat, get more ducks! :)

Stringfellow Acid Pits For those who live in the Inland Empire, the sight of a giant metal woolly mammoth looming over highway 60 is familiar. Dinosaurs and other extinct creatures adorn the hillside, serving as a teaching tool for school children. Many probably have memories from spent time at the Jurupa Cultural Center as kids, learning about Earth Science from founder, Ruth Kirkby. What is seemingly absent from cultural memory is the toxic waste that sits less than a mile away in the Stringfellow Acid Pits. The Acid Pits were once home to over 32 million gallons of toxic chemicals, dumped by numerous corporations and the United States military. The chemicals penetrated through the ground and into the water supply of thousands of residents. During multiple heavy rain events, the pits overflowed sending the waste into neighborhoods and the local elementary school. Residents recalled their children playing in the foaming waste, making beards and throwing snowballs.  Though now a...

Antonios Theodosis - Radium Craze in Los Angeles During the Early Twentieth Century

  Radium Craze in Los Angeles during the Early Twentieth Century  In the early twentieth century, a new buzz was quickly growing around Los Angeles with the discovery of an element that would glow in the dark and could be found naturally in the environment. The element in question was none other than radium, the eighty-eighth element in the periodic table was something fresh, hot, and exciting in all aspects of the early 1900s. As a result of this fresh excitement, the element could be found in numerous consumer products, medicinal practices, and in areas of congregation around the city of Los Angeles. Its exciting glow and mystery that surrounded it intrigued scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs, and the general public in what can only be deemed as an era of the “radium craze.” This infatuation and mystery surrounding this radioactive element was not a good thing, however, because as noted, it was infused in everyday consumer products, in medicinal products, and procedures wh...
