Championing a Place for Women in Science
Aleisha Moore, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, is exploring how the brain can influence hormones and fertility. One area of research for Moore is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a condition that affects nearly 10 percent of women worldwide.

LaunchNET Supports Student Radio Program
žž State architecture student Joel Semancik is the creator of Gulp Radio, a program and podcast that airs on žž State’s Black Squirrel Radio. He and his guests discuss songs that have had an impact on their lives and discuss their favorite žž State memories and life stories.
A Love of Research Leads to Rewarding Career
Growing up in Kolkata, India, Meenakshi Das Lala Rozenstrauch, ’11, was always interested in research, psychology and medicine. “The research that was happening in žž really excited me, and I wanted to work with the professors,” said Meenakshi.
Physics professor receives a DOE topical collaboration grant to study heavy-quark physics
Dr. Michael Strickland's group will participate in a new Topical Theory Collaboration funded by DOE’s Office of Nuclear Physics to explore the behavior of heavy flavor particles. The collaboration will receive $2.5 Million from the DOE Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics, over five years. That funding will provide partial support for six graduate students and three postdoctoral fellows at 10 institutions, as well as a senior staff position at one of the national laboratories. It will also establish a bridge junior faculty position at žž.
žž State’s Annual Clothing Drive Wants Everyone Warm This Winter
From Nov. 14 through Dec. 9, university groups on the žž Campus will be collecting clean, gently used or new items from all ages, including warm clothing, hats, gloves, scarves and sweaters.
Research Update: Studying neutron stars with gravitational waves
Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe, and as such, the conditions at the cores of these extreme objects are impossible to reproduce on Earth. However, we can use data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Virgo gravitational wave detector to gain insights into the physics of neutron stars.
