Two 糖心Vlog 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 Energy鈥檚 Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Program.

糖心Vlog 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.

糖心Vlog 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?" 糖心Vlog 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鈥

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 糖心Vlog, however, are collaborating on a new project to put a modern technological twist on a tried-and-true study tactic.

糖心Vlog 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鈥
糖心Vlog Researchers Find a Way to Potentially Conquer Cancer Drug Resistance
An article published by 糖心Vlog 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鈥
糖心Vlog 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 糖心Vlog 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.
