Calvin Chin, the new director of the University Health Services Counseling and Psychological Services unit, will officially assume the position Tuesday. In the past,Chin served as the director of counseling at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City as well as the assistant director for outreach and community clinical services at Columbia University’s counterpart organization.
A team of University physicists and engineers met with collaborators in Palestine, Texas this summer to assemble and test a telescope complex, known as SPIDER, that when launched will help scientists understand the fundamental physics of a period during the early universe.
Construction of the University’s new neuroscience and psychology complex, Peretsman-Scully Hall, is slated to be completed by Nov. 1, with the two programs moving their offices there in mid-December. Classes and labs will be held in the new complex beginning next semester.
A team of University scientists has been working with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the California Institute of Technology and the University of Toronto to build an instrument that will help cosmologists gain more insight into the expansion and homogenization of the very early universe.
In a collaboration across three different departments, a 2010 chemical engineering senior thesis has become a comprehensive model for the dynamics of an immune system reaction, as described in a recent article published in PLOS ONE and which was based on a 2006 study in which six subjects were hospitalized. Hao Hong Yiu ’10 was a senior in what was Princeton’s chemical engineering department — now chemical and biological engineering — and was taking an ecology and evolutionary biology course on immune systems with professor Andrea Graham.
Princeton researchers working with the European Space Agency have received groundbreaking data from the Planck satellite launched by the ESA in May 2009. The Planck data are unprecedented in accuracy and precision, receiving worldwide press coverage and public attention.
In a recent study published in Nature, University researchers have discovered the mechanism inside a mouse’s brain that allows it to map its location in three-dimensional space. By examining how mice responded to spatial signals, scientists were able to observe how the mouse brain tracks its exact location.
Mars Science Lab Project Manager and professor of geology at California Institute of Technology John Grotzinger presented new evidence of ancient habitability on Mars, based on the findings from the Curiosity rover, in a lecture on Thursday evening. On Tuesday, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. announced that Curiosity’s current location in Gale Crater very likely could have hosted microbial life.
A new University study recently published in Nature has shown that extensive genetic mapping can be used to trace the genetic origins of even the smallest trait variations, providing support for 20th-century scientific arguments that privilege nature over nurture.
Molecular biology professor David Botstein was awarded a $3 million Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences Feb. 20 for his work in developing a technique to map genes causing inherited diseases on the human genome. The award recognized 11 scientists who have made groundbreaking achievements in fighting disease and prolonging human life.
