Today is National Cow Appreciation Day, a 鈥渉oliday鈥� invented by a fast-food chain that sells a lot of "chikn." But it鈥檚 still a good opportunity to celebrate our neighbors to the northeast 鈥� even if being surrounded by cows wasn鈥檛 necessarily how you imagined your college experience.

The cows might be an unusual sight to some, but they play an integral part in the healthy management of the approximately 6,500-acre .

When graduate student William Delmas made samples of solar energy harvesting perovskite films two years ago, he had no idea that this summer, he鈥檇 be analyzing those same samples after they made a round trip to the International Space Station (ISS).

鈥淚t鈥檚 really cool to see this come full circle,鈥� Delmas said.

A group of researchers harnessing the power of light to control gene expression has dramatically improved its method, optimizing speed and precision, and opening new research avenues for scientists who employ optogenetics 鈥� the use of light and genetic engineering to control cells.

A details the advancements made in Professor Stephanie Woo鈥檚 lab and quantifies the results of experiments on zebrafish embryos.

Scientists often study the relationship of global warming and topsoil because soil is an important mediator of climate change. A newly released study indicates it鈥檚 critical to consider subsoil in climate-change research, too.

Immunology and bioengineering Professor Joel Spencer are using a new grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to expand a project they鈥檝e been working on for the past two years 鈥� delving into the immune systems of living mice to see how B-cells develop under different circumstances.

From graduate student Jose Zamora鈥檚 perspective, the (CCBM) has been a spectacular success.

黑料百科 occupies just one small corner of the world. But through the research, teaching, experience, and connections of two new faculty members, students can access and begin to understand the universe.

Civil and Environmental Engineering Professor Marie-Odile Fortier鈥檚 plan to make more accurate assessments of renewable energy systems鈥� carbon footprints has made her the fifth 黑料百科 recipient of the prestigious CAREER award this year.

The award comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF), which gives the grants to encourage early-career researchers.

A computer science lab focused on making human-computer interaction easier for people of all abilities has developed a digital lip-reader complete with its own repair system so the software can continue learning from its user.

Physics Professor Dustin Kleckner has received a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER award for his research 鈥� the third in his department this year. He studies how optical and acoustic binding controls interactions between/among particles and how it manipulates them into self-organizing structures.

In the long term, this research aims to enable fundamentally new types of materials for industrial, defense and consumer applications.
