Greenhouses are an invaluable resource for faculty and students, but to maintain MSU’s leadership in plant science, upgrades are critical.
Strolling through the greenhouses on the campus of Michigan State University as part of her daily routine, Chrislyn Particka is always thinking. Always planning. Always considering new and creative ways to utilize the space and budget resources more efficiently.
As director of the Plant Science Research Greenhouse Facility, it’s her job to ensure the operation runs smoothly for the more than 60 researchers who rely on it. She’s part plant scientist, project coordinator and budget adviser.
After the FDA and CDC lifted a pause on Johnson & Johnson vaccine distribution Friday, Georgia Southern will begin offering the single-dose vaccine again on campus.
“Now that pause has been lifted for the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, we are evaluating the best ways to make those doses available to our campus communities,” said John Lester, vice president of University Communications and Marketing.
The FDA paused the vaccine earlier this month for 11 days after finding rare blood clotting in 15 of the 8 million people who received their shot, but the FDA and CDC decided the benefits outweigh the risks.
“This pause was an example of our extensive safety-monitoring working as they were designed to work identifying even these small number of cases,” said Dr. Janet Woodcock, FDA commissioner in a statement. “We are confident that this vaccine continues to meet our standards for safety, effectiveness and quality.”
Ryane Englar Veterinary medicine may require us to treat the patient, but we are unable to improve pet patient outcomes without human client consent and trust. Communication is an essential component of veterinary practice, said
Ryane Englar, an associate professor and the director of veterinary skills development for the college. As an anecdotal example, vets and breeders don t always get along, but there was no research on these subjects. I wondered, what do the groups want and need? If they are aligned in any way, how can we work with one another better?
Englar s most recent study, published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, explores biases and communication between vets and breeders. She found that dog and cat breeders often feel that veterinarians lack training and knowledge about birth and breeding. At the same time, vets may not acknowledge breeders expertise on the subject, and may disapprove of breeding and make assumptions about breed
Astrophysicists Help Chart Dark Matter s Invisible Ocean A wake of stars, created by a small galaxy set to collide with the Milky Way, is the highlight of a new map of the Milky Way s outer reaches. The observations confirm predictions made by a group of UArizona astronomers whose computer simulations test theories explaining the mysterious nature of dark matter. By Daniel Stolte, University Communications April 21, 2021 Images of the Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are overlaid on a map of the surrounding galactic halo. The smaller structure is a wake created by the LMC’s motion through this region. The larger light-blue feature corresponds to a high density of stars observed in the northern hemisphere of our galaxy.
