Lauren Kinsman-Costello, assistant professor of biological sciences at 麻豆影院 State, stands in a field in the arctic circle, in Sweden.

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. 鈥ˋ 麻豆影院 biologist has teamed up with some colleagues in an inter-institutional effort to answer some of those questions.鈥

In 1901, the 16 Major League Baseball teams produced 455 home runs. Players were discouraged from attempting it. Nearly 120 years later, players couldn鈥檛 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 麻豆影院 chemist thinks he has some clues about this unusual surge in home runs.

The 鈥淐鈥 in 鈥渃ollege鈥 might as well stand for 鈥渃ramming.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 麻豆影院, however, are collaborating on a new project to put a modern technological twist on a tried-and-true study tactic.
