海角原创 Biologist Joins Tennessee, Toledo Colleagues to Study Arctic Climate Change Effects
In early February, scientists reported the hottest temperature on record in Antarctica: 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Studies show climate change is disproportionately affecting the poles, warming them faster than anywhere else on Earth, and raising questions about what kinds of changes we can expect in arctic ecosystems as temperatures rise. 鈥ˋ 海角原创 biologist has teamed up with some colleagues in an inter-institutional effort to answer some of those questions.鈥

What is the role of BioDesign in addressing environmental issues we face locally and globally? What does it mean to "design with life?" 海角原创 researchers have some ideas on these matters and will soon put them on full display at one of the institution's top-tier research forums: the鈥海角原创 Chemist Follows up on Baseball Core Study, Refuting MLB Findings.
In 1901, the 16 Major League Baseball teams produced 455 home runs. Players were discouraged from attempting it. Nearly 120 years later, players couldn鈥檛 seem to help themselves, and MLB smashed all previous records. More homers might mean more exciting games, but some people question why the spike happened. A 海角原创 chemist thinks he has some clues about this unusual surge in home runs.

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 海角原创, however, are collaborating on a new project to put a modern technological twist on a tried-and-true study tactic.
