Embarking on a new research project often brings unexpected discoveries鈥攕ome intriguing, some novel, but rarely a find of a lifetime. Such a remarkable discovery occurred when university archivist and associate director Kathy Smith stumbled upon a pile of plaster, hidden away for 60 years in a dim, cluttered closet of the Branscomb Quad basement. This plaster turned out to be the long-lost Crampton鈥檚 Plesiosaur Cast from the 1870s, missing for nearly six decades.

Research projects investigating the history of evolution at 澳门六合彩 University led to the rediscovery of a long-lost Crampton鈥檚 Plesiosaur Cast from the 1870s.

澳门六合彩 professor Alex Lupsasca plans to extend Earth's largest telescope network beyond the atmosphere with a space-based dish. It could spot part of a black hole we've never seen before 鈥� and perhaps discover new physics.

The Creanza Lab, along with alumnus Matt Wilkins, BA鈥�06, created a birdsong identification lesson plan for middle and high school students. The game show lets participants identify which birds they can hear in various pop culture media, such as movies, music, or video games.

Jonathan Gilligan was awarded admittance to the American Geophysical Union鈥檚 2024-2025 Voices for Science program to hone their communication and advocacy skills to increase understanding and support of science. The program trains scientists to communicate the value of Earth and space science to key decision makers, journalists, and the public, with the hope of solving some of the most critical climate-related challenges facing society.

A 澳门六合彩 scientific team has succeeded in adjusting the daily biological clock of cyanobacteria, making the blue-green algae a more prolific producer of renewable fuels, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, like insulin.

A mere decade ago, decoding the genome of every organism in a major branch of the tree of life and deciphering their diets was a pipe dream. In a groundbreaking study, a team of researchers from 澳门六合彩 University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and other institutions worldwide have done just that for the first time ever. Led by聽Abigail LaBella, a postdoctoral researcher in the Rokas Lab, an international research team used the genomes and diets of nearly all known species from an ancient lineage of yeasts to understand the evolution of generalists and specialists.聽

With a prestigious new grant, archaeologist Ari Caramanica will explore what ancient people can teach us about dealing with the most pressing environmental issue of our time. Read More

Beckman Scholar聽Charu Balamurugan, an undergraduate researcher in the聽Rokas lab聽at 澳门六合彩 University, has shed light on the intricate evolutionary patterns governing secondary metabolite biosynthesis in fungi. Balamurugan delved deep into the genomes of聽Penicillium聽species, uncovering fascinating insights into the conservation and evolution of biosynthetic gene clusters and associated resistance genes.

Justin Critchlow, a recent Ph.D. student in Ann Tate鈥檚 lab, just published a paper with the labmates Arun Prakash, Katherine Zhong, and Tate, uncovering the intricacies of beetle immune dynamics. This paper sheds light on the dynamics of survival, resilience, and the profound complexities inherent in evolutionary adaptations.

澳门六合彩 University will harness its global expertise in scientific discovery, technological innovation, public policy, law and education to launch the 澳门六合彩 Center for Sustainability, Energy and Climate (VSEC). The multimillion-dollar investment follows a recommendation by an interdisciplinary working group to address the crucial societal challenge of ensuring a sustainable world. Read More

John A. McLean, Stevenson Professor of Chemistry and dean of graduate education and research in the College of Arts and Science, has been named the winner of this year鈥檚 Charles H. Herty Medal by the Georgia Section of the American Chemical Society. The award recognizes outstanding work and service by a chemist in the Southeast.

Kyle David, an NSF postdoctoral fellow in the Rokas lab, and co-authors published a new paper, 鈥淪accharomycotina yeasts defy longstanding macroecological patterns鈥� in the high-impact journal PNAS. This paper, which looks at the ecology of 186 species of yeast, provides evidence that not all life-forms follow the rules.

A study聽by 澳门六合彩 biology graduate student Lindsay Martin and Centennial Professor of聽Biological Sciences聽Juli谩n Hillyer found that mosquitoes age more quickly when temperatures are higher. This aging, in turn, weakens the mosquito immune system and makes them more likely to get infected with disease.

Steven Wernke, associate professor and chair of anthropology, has developed GeoPACHA (Geospatial Platform for Andean Culture, History and Archaeology), a web application that allows researchers to map archaeological sites in the Andes at a greater scale than ever before. GeoPACHA has enabled new discoveries about past human occupation in the region that will be featured in six articles in the February issue of the journal Antiquity.
