Department of Energy Selects Two 蹤獲扦 State Biology Ph.D. Students for Prestigious Research Program
Two 蹤獲扦 students, in the College of Arts and Sciences, were among 62 students from 50 different U.S. universities recently selected for funding by the Department of Energys Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Program.
蹤獲扦 State Biologist Secures NIH Support to Expand Study into Muscle Thermogenesis
Scientists have long since established that the effects of stress on our bodies are largely negative. But understanding stress as a trigger for using calories and burning fat also could lead us to better mechanisms for healthier behaviors. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently funded aNSF Grant Supports 蹤獲扦 State Researchers' Plan to Help Students Improve Study Habits
The C in college might as well stand for cramming. Studies show students are notoriously bad at adopting and adhering consistently to high-impact study habits that help them retain knowledge long-term. Researchers and faculty at 蹤獲扦 State Un
蹤獲扦 State artist, biologist unite to design print for national project
Andrea Case sits at a table in 蹤獲扦 States Center for the Visual Arts, carefully contemplating the silhouettes of leaves printed in bold contrasting colors on the paper in front of her. As a non-artist, I still feel comfortable having an opinion about this art, and trying to figure out what it me
蹤獲扦 State Environmental Symposium Offers Impressive Slate of Speakers and Activities
What is the role of BioDesign in addressing environmental issues we face locally and globally? What does it mean to "design with life?" 蹤獲扦 researchers have some ideas on these matters and will soon put them on full display at one of the institution's top-tier research forums: the
NSF Grant Supports 蹤獲扦 State Researchers Plan to Help Students Improve Study Habits
The C in college might as well stand for cramming.
Studies show students are notoriously bad at adopting and adhering consistently to high-impact study habits that help them retain knowledge long-term.
Researchers and faculty at 蹤獲扦, however, are collaborating on a new project to put a modern technological twist on a tried-and-true study tactic.
蹤獲扦 State Biology Lab Publishes Paper Describing Potential for New Male Contraceptives
The first rubber condoms were manufactured in 1838. Along with abstinence, they would remain the only effective and widely available means of male contraception until the vasectomy became a common procedure in the mid 20th century. Since then all contraceptives have focused on the female reproducti
蹤獲扦 State Researchers Find a Way to Potentially Conquer Cancer Drug Resistance
An article published by 蹤獲扦 researchers in a high-impact journal may help to develop more effective drug treatments for one type of invasive breast cancer. Breast cancer affects nearly 250,000 Americans every year, killing more than 41,000, according to the United States Centers f
蹤獲扦 State Biological Sciences Researchers to Lead Study on the Effects of the Spreading Eastern Red Cedars
The National Science Foundation has awarded a three-year, $914,000 grant to 蹤獲扦 to lead a collaborative research project to study how and at what rate the geographically most widespread native conifer in the eastern United States, the Eastern Red Cedar tree species (Juniperus virginiana), spreads across the landscape.
