Dr. Michelle LaRue, an associate professor at the University of Canterbury, is revolutionizing wildlife ecology by using high-resolution satellite imagery to study emperor penguins from space.
Rio Tinto has committed $16 million to the Makira Natural Park REDD+[1] Project in northern Madagascar, through a new partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Everland. This commitment complements Rio Tinto’s investment in nature-based solutions in the south-east of the country.
This study introduces a fibrous amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide material (IGZO) integrated into sensory face masks, providing real-time respiratory monitoring via a wireless flexible circuit. Enhanced surface area promotes gas diffusion, enabling precise detection of respiratory states. This innovation in wearable health monitoring highlights a promising direction for continuous physiological assessment.
RUSH's Caring for Caregivers model program was honored at the 23rd Annual Chicago Innovation Awards for its benefit to older adults and the family members who care for them
Hackensack Meridian Pascack Valley Medical Center earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety. Leapfrog assigns an “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F” grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as the systems hospitals have in place to prevent them.
Keck Hospital of USC earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit watchdog focused on patient safety.
Alyssa Stolarik, RN, BSN, clinical coordinator of Cardiology at Hackensack Meridian Health Mountainside Medical Center, received the Second Best Research Poster Award at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Quality Summit held in San Antonio, Texas. Her work, titled “Improving Compliance with Post-PCI Creatinine,” highlights significant advancements in the management of post-procedural care and patient outcomes. The research addresses the critical issue of acute kidney injury (AKI) post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), demonstrating a marked reduction in risk-standardized AKI rates, which significantly surpasses national benchmarks.
The research team led by Dr. Hyung-Suk Oh and Dr. Woong Hee Lee at the Clean Energy Research Center at Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a silver-silica composite catalyst capable of reversible local pH control through a silica-hydroxide cycle, inspired by Earth’s natural cycles.
The launch of the Treatment and Wildfire Interagency Geodatabase, known as TWIG, now provides an open-access platform where all federal fuel treatment and wildfire data can be viewed, downloaded and analyzed. This comprehensive data compilation enables users to assess, plan and monitor fuel treatment interactions with wildfires across boundaries.

The trace anomaly is one of the quantities that encodes the energy and momentum of particles built from quarks. Scientists believe the trace anomaly is crucial for keeping quarks bonded in subatomic particles. In this study, scientists calculated the trace anomaly for nucleons and pions. The calculations show that in the pion, the mass distribution is similar to the charge distribution of the neutron and in the nucleon, the mass distribution is similar to the charge distribution of the proton.
Jordan Cash is an assistant professor of political theory and constitutional democracy at Michigan State University’s James Madison College. Here, he answers questions about the history of lame-duck presidents in the U.S. and what it suggests about how President Biden could spend his final days.
Cadet Wright is a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program member and a senior studying Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Northern Colorado (UNC). She’s combining her two passions of serving her country and nutrition by learning how to properly meet soldiers’ dietary needs.
In an effort to continue reducing barriers to higher education, the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) Graduate School will now waive application fees for all current UNC students and alumni. As opposed to having periodic application days every few months, application fees will be automatically waived for current and former UNC students. The application fee waiver applies only to the UNC Graduate School application. Any students applying to programs with a Centralized Application Service (CAS) application will still need to pay for the CAS application.
In 2023, the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Economic Research Service reported that 13.5% of U.S. households were food insecure at some point during the year. The USDA defines this as households that were uncertain of having, or unable to acquire, enough food to meet the needs of all their members due to insufficient money or other resources for food.
MSU researchers receive $4M NIH grant to study dementia risks
MSU researchers now can identify more proteins, or biomarkers, in blood plasma, including those linked to specific diseases like cancer. By identifying these biomarkers earlier, medical researchers can create better diagnostic tests and drugs that target diseases sooner, improving patient outcomes.
New Jersey native Caterina Belle Azzarello-Nichols earned an M.A. from the University of Northern Colorado’s Educational Psychology program. Continuing in the program as a doctoral student, she’s conducting research in mathematics readability and student educational dispositions.
Results from a new animal study published in the American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology found that maternal exposure to e-cigarette residues, with or without nicotine, affected offspring’s immune response later in life.
An international team of researchers has uncovered evidence of partial resistance to artemisinin derivatives — the primary treatment for malaria — in young children with severe malaria.
