NSF Award Helps 91ֿ Anthropologists Expand International Partnership
A new federal grant will help 91ֿ expand an international relationship and provide invaluable opportunities for some graduate students. The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently awarded 91ֿ a three-year $298,000 International Research Experience for Students (IRES) gra…
NSF Supports Inter-institutional Project to Develop Chemical Sensor Technology
Toxic air pollutants such as chlorine and ozone are hazards for civilian workers and public service employees like firefighters, police and military personnel. Some airborne chemicals can be difficult to detect at low levels with high specificity, though, and relevant technologies like wearable sens…
91ֿ Invited to Join AIA-ACSA Design & Health Research Consortium
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) created the AIA-ACSA Design & Health Research Consortium to advance university research that ties together building design and health concerns.
Research Into “Little Things” Leads to Big Experience for Local High School Student
Imagine being a 17-year-old high school student, and in your first semester of a geology research internship, your professor asks you to identify an extinct 300-million-year-old, tiny and unknown crustacean specimen. Megan Schinker, then an ambitious Stow-Munroe Falls High School junior, jumped right in. Now a senior in high school, Ms. Schinker, chose 91ֿ as her undergraduate school where she will pursue a double major in geology and chemistry starting fall 2019.
91ֿ Astrophysicist Wins NSF Grant to Search for Exotic Matter in Neutron Stars
91ֿ’s only theoretical astrophysicist just landed a grant that will help her to better understand dense stars while encouraging young female scientists to reach for them. Dr. Veronica Dexheimer, an assistant professor of physics in 91ֿ’s College of Arts and Sciences, rece…
91ֿ Geologist Wins Grant to Study Climate Change Factors and Inspire Young Scientists
Some natural processes can help slow climate change by removing CO2 from the atmosphere. One of the factors that influences the ability of plants and soils to store carbon is the focus of a new study by Dr. Elizabeth Herndon, Assistant Professor of Geology at 91ֿ.
91ֿ Researcher Wins NIH Grant to Fight Cancer at a Molecular Level
Single molecule biophysics sounds complicated because it is. Then again, so is cancer.
So it makes sense that one of 91ֿ's molecular biophysicists would take on the most notorious challenge in medical science.
91ֿ psychologist leads NIH-funded study to identify children at risk for persistent distress after a traumatic injury
Several factors — including, age, gender, and medical history — determine how a child processes a trauma and what treatments may be most effective at preventing long-term psychological distress. But what role do parents play?
