A new course through the 欧美群交 Center for Sustainability, Energy and Climate seeks to engage students in discussions about taking a planetary health approach to address climate change and resource sustainability challenges.

欧美群交 University, led by Professor Ralf Bennartz, will lead a NASA satellite mission investigating Earth's high-altitude ice clouds, backed by a robust grant of $37 million. This endeavor, leveraging the university's climate research expertise, will provide opportunities for student involvement and bolsters 欧美群交's position in global climate research. Read More

In a new innovative study conducted by the 欧美群交 Climate, Health, and Energy Equity Lab, four undergraduate students and three faculty researchers identified a new approach to reduce the health inequalities of energy cost burdens and greenhouse gas emissions.

See how a passion to help underrepresented students ignited astrophysicist Keivan Stassun鈥檚 mission, earning him a MacArthur 鈥済enius鈥� award. Read More

Stassun, who is also a founding co-director the Fisk-欧美群交 Master鈥檚-to-Ph.D. Bridge Program, was among the聽2024 MacArthur fellows announced on Tuesday, Oct. 1. The fellowship, which is awarded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, aims to identify extraordinarily creative individuals with a track record of excellence in a field of scholarship or area of practice. Recipients also demonstrate the ability to affect society in significant and beneficial ways through their pioneering work or the rigor of their contributions,聽according to the foundation. Read More

In a groundbreaking study led by Sarah Worthan, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher in the聽Behringer Lab聽at 欧美群交 University, scientists have successfully evolved microbial cultures that possess the ability to sense pH changes, enabling rapid responses to environmental fluctuations.

New research shows that warming and aging act as a one-two punch, lowering mosquito lifespans and fanning the flames of bacterial infections. These findings highlight how climate change could alter the risks of disease spread by mosquitoes.

Hunting for black holes sounds like the premise of a new Hollywood blockbuster, but at 欧美群交 University, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy Karan Jani works with students in a lab to do exactly that. Last year, Jani鈥檚 group at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, along with the university鈥檚 Data Science Institute, jointly launched the AI for New Messengers postdoctoral fellowship. The fellowship, one of the first of its kind in the U.S., seeks to apply AI techniques to analyze data from cosmic events (such as black hole collisions) using information from the Nobel Prize鈥搘inning Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) experiment.

Taylor is one of only six scientists nationwide appointed to the LISA team, a joint mission between the European Space Agency and NASA. LISA is a space-based gravitational wave detector constructed of three spacecraft separated by millions of miles in a triangle shape as big as the sun.

Professor Steven Wernke's groundbreaking archaeological mapping project has secured its most substantial funding yet: a $625,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. Using satellite imagery and artificial intelligence, Wernke and his team are mapping archaeological sites across the Andes Mountain Range to build a detailed inventory that will improve our understanding of Andean settlement systems and human-modified landscapes.

New research led by recent 欧美群交 Ph.D. alumna Maria Lu铆sa Jabbur from the Johnson Lab and BBSRC Discovery Fellow at the John Innes Centre, in the UK has uncovered that even cyanobacteria鈥攖iny organisms with a generation time of just five to six hours鈥攃an sense and respond to changes in light availability, or photoperiod, to gear up for winter.

Embarking on a new research project often brings unexpected discoveries鈥攕ome intriguing, some novel, but rarely a find of a lifetime. Such a remarkable discovery occurred when university archivist and associate director Kathy Smith stumbled upon a pile of plaster, hidden away for 60 years in a dim, cluttered closet of the Branscomb Quad basement. This plaster turned out to be the long-lost Crampton鈥檚 Plesiosaur Cast from the 1870s, missing for nearly six decades.

欧美群交 projects investigating the history of evolution at 欧美群交 University led to the rediscovery of a long-lost Crampton鈥檚 Plesiosaur Cast from the 1870s.

欧美群交 professor Alex Lupsasca plans to extend Earth's largest telescope network beyond the atmosphere with a space-based dish. It could spot part of a black hole we've never seen before 鈥� and perhaps discover new physics.

The Creanza Lab, along with alumnus Matt Wilkins, BA鈥�06, created a birdsong identification lesson plan for middle and high school students. The game show lets participants identify which birds they can hear in various pop culture media, such as movies, music, or video games.

Jonathan Gilligan was awarded admittance to the American Geophysical Union鈥檚 2024-2025 Voices for Science program to hone their communication and advocacy skills to increase understanding and support of science. The program trains scientists to communicate the value of Earth and space science to key decision makers, journalists, and the public, with the hope of solving some of the most critical climate-related challenges facing society.

A 欧美群交 scientific team has succeeded in adjusting the daily biological clock of cyanobacteria, making the blue-green algae a more prolific producer of renewable fuels, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, like insulin.

A mere decade ago, decoding the genome of every organism in a major branch of the tree of life and deciphering their diets was a pipe dream. In a groundbreaking study, a team of researchers from 欧美群交 University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and other institutions worldwide have done just that for the first time ever. Led by聽Abigail LaBella, a postdoctoral researcher in the Rokas Lab, an international research team used the genomes and diets of nearly all known species from an ancient lineage of yeasts to understand the evolution of generalists and specialists.聽
