NSF Grant Supports žž 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 žž, however, are collaborating on a new project to put a modern technological twist on a tried-and-true study tactic.

žž State Researchers Find a Way to Potentially Conquer Cancer Drug Resistance
žž State 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 žž 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.

From Comfort Zone to Rain Forest: Studying Ecology in Costa Rica
Emmaleigh Given recently spent three summers and two winters in a remote biological reserve in the middle of the rainforest in the Alajuela Province of Costa Rica, where she has and will spend several months conducting research on community ecology, and she has one more trip planned. Being hunted by unseen predators isn’t the way most researchers conduct their work. But for some, it’s just part of the day.
Research Fellowship Award to žž State Undergrad Supports Summer Microbiology Research on Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria Found on Rats
City rats are unlikely to be on anyone's list of favorite animals, but researching exactly how they are problematic for public health provided a unique opportunity this past summer for Gracen Gerbig, žž State junior majoring in Cellular and Molecular Biology.
NSF Award Funds Sensor Research at žž State’s New Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute
Thanks to a rare Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), žž researchers in the new Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute will be able to work with partners at Merck Performance Materials to advance life-saving sensory technology.
