Oregon State celebrates women in STEM with new film, other events
February 1, 2021
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State University will mark the United Nations’ International Day of Women and Girls in Science this month with a two-day Celebration of Women in Engineering that includes a new documentary plus panel discussions – all of which are free, virtual and open to the public.
Created by OSU Productions, “Rooted in Community” shares the story of six women faculty in the OSU College of Engineering. Ingrid Arocho, Belinda Batten, Pallavi Dhagat, Bryony DuPont, Kathryn Higley and Kelsey Stoerzinger speak about how they break barriers, make impacts through research and seek to guide the next generation of engineers.

Much of the earth s carbon is trapped in soil, and scientists have assumed that potential climate-warming compounds would safely stay there for centuries. But new research from Princeton University shows that carbon molecules can potentially escape the soil much faster than previously thought. The findings suggest a key role for some types of soil bacteria, which can produce enzymes that break down large carbon-based molecules and allow carbon dioxide to escape into the air.

Researchers at the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) in Argentina have found that, since the 1990s, up to 25% of reported bee species are no longer being reported in global records, despite a large increase in the number of records available. While this does not mean that these species are all extinct, it might indicate that these species have become rare enough that no one is observing them in nature. The findings appear January 22 in the journal

Scott Wolter jokingly brags that he was Elon’s first dual-degree engineering major.
“I graduated from Elon last century,” Wolter, the director of Elon’s dual-degree engineering program, tells students and parents. “I like to tell them that I beat them to the dual-degree, because I got one from Elon and one from N.C. State. It may have taken me a little longer, but I did it.”
