Science Connects to Innovation The Science Connects to Innovation Program empowers undergraduate students in the sciences to develop entrepreneurial enterprises to devise solutions that can go anywhere – providing cleaner energy, eco-friendly pesticides, possible new anticancer compounds, sustainable foods, or fabricating high-tech assistive devices. learn more Ramp Up Ramp Up...
Stress-related mental illnesses like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) are twice as common in women, but relevant pre-clinical research on the mechanisms of stress and fear has primarily been conducted in male animals. Our work explores the relationships between neural structure and function when both males...
Louise Skinnari's research is in experimental particle physics, using the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland to probe fundamental questions about nature and our universe. Her research focuses on physics involving top quarks - the heaviest of all known elementary...
