“All of the sudden we find that the rate of white patch development is totally related to how much parental feedback they got,” Ghazanfar said. “What that’s telling us is that this affiliated behavior, that we saw a correlation with the size of their white patch, is also developmental linked. And that was, I mean, it was just totally incredible.”
The idea? Applying cold plasma — a safe, natural disinfectant with a temperature of around 50°C — to common surfaces to provide continuous disinfection.

Not wearing masks, especially indoors, is “very risky,” according to Stone. “Why would you do that?,” he asked.
By creating visuals of how far speech droplets can travel, the study offers visual evidence that wearing a mask can help reduce COVID-19 transmission.

COVID-19’s five-year transmission landscape can range from “sustained epidemics” to “near-elimination” depending on the strength of immunity, vaccination rate and effectiveness, and social distancing protocol, University researchers found. The model presented in the study represents the range of pandemic outcomes on a sliding scale.

“No secondary infections were linked to 71% of cases whose contacts were traced and tested,” the researchers found. Rather, 8 percent of those infected accounted for 60 percent of new cases.

A new report from the U.S. Crisis Monitor — a joint project led by SPIA and the ACLED — shows that 93 percent of BLM demonstrations over the summer have been peaceful, with net national support for the movement.

“You really need to be connected to students, or you don’t get the energy that they provide. You need to collaborate with students, not only because that gives you a means to get work done, but also sparks ideas,” Burrows said of the connection between research and teaching.
Desmond believes the lab’s data leaves one thing certain: “Without stable shelter, everything else falls apart.”
With daily virtual COVID-19 symptom check-ins, routine disinfecting, and strict social distancing protocols, returning to lab work hardly means returning to normal.
“This huge amount of money is dropped on small businesses, and it's not making a dent,” University economist Christopher Neilson said about the CARES Act.
Adamson’s work focuses on understanding how somatic cells respond to DNA damage and mutations. Her lab hopes to achieve an understanding of how DNA damage affects cells as a whole, as opposed to past approaches that focus on individualized mechanisms of cell responses.
Ani Liu, an artist whose work imagines the future, could not have imagined this present.
While the panelists acknowledged the pandemic’s severity, they remained optimistic about its potential to catalyze sustainable infrastructure changes and policies such as carbon pricing to combat the climate crisis.
Coman predicts that fear of infection should impact the spread or propagation of information. Such results will be relevant for policies that aim to combat misinformation often found in mass media or social networking platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
COVID-related or not, Notterman said, “the benefits will flow to our whole community.”
No matter the research, from measuring the virus’ surface stability to mapping the availability of key medical supplies, they share a common cause: to work in the nation’s service, and in the service of humanity.
