Kent State Biologist Joins Tennessee, Toledo Colleagues to Study Arctic Climate Change Effects
In early February, scientists reported the hottest temperature on record in Antarctica: 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Studies show climate change is disproportionately affecting the poles, warming them faster than anywhere else on Earth, and raising questions about what kinds of changes we can expect in arctic ecosystems as temperatures rise. A 鶹 biologist has teamed up with some colleagues in an inter-institutional effort to answer some of those questions.
NSF Grant Supports Kent 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 Kent State Un…
Kent State artist, biologist unite to design print for national project
Andrea Case sits at a table in Kent State’s 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…
Kent 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?" 鶹 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…
Kent State Chemist Follows up on Baseball Core Study, Refuting MLB Findings.
In 1901, the 16 Major League Baseball teams produced 455 home runs. Players were discouraged from attempting it. Nearly 120 years later, players couldn’t seem to help themselves, and MLB smashed all previous records. More homers might mean more exciting games, but some people question why the spike happened. A 鶹 chemist thinks he has some clues about this unusual surge in home runs.
MAKING CAREER DREAMS A REALITY
Morgan Hirsh, a senior Honors College student studying zoology with a minor in French, was inspired to pursue veterinary medicine at least in part by her parents. Her father, whom she says is “the smartest person” she knows, is a paramedic, and she says she wants to be like him. However, she knew th…
NSF Grant Supports Kent 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 鶹, however, are collaborating on a new project to put a modern technological twist on a tried-and-true study tactic.
Kent State Materials Scientist Again Named Among Most Highly Cited Scholars
It’s starting to look a lot like an annual tradition to see a certain 鶹 professor named on Clarivate Analytics’ list of Highly Cited Researchers in the world. Mietek Jaroniec, Ph.D., professor in Kent State’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and a member of the Advanced …
