DeKalb, Ill. If you build it, they might not come. That s the key finding of a new study on habitat restoration practices that challenges a commonly accepted principle in ecology.
The study tested the Field of Dreams hypothesis, which predicts that restoring plant biodiversity will lead to recovery of animal biodiversity. The prediction, which often guides restoration practices, is infrequently tested because restoration studies typically measure plant or animal biodiversity, but rarely both, said lead author Pete Guiden, a post-doctoral researcher at Northern Illinois University.

A Northern Illinois University professor of industrial and systems engineering says the country is facing many obstacles as it attempts to get Americans vaccinated.
Illinois is currently in Phase 1B of its vaccination plan, as frontline essential workers like police and fire personnel, teachers and child care workers, and manufacturing workers among others are able to get vaccinated. But everyone included in Phase 1A has not been vaccinated, as Walgreens and CVS Health attempt to get to residents in the state’s long-term care facilities. At this rate, it could be months before the average citizen gets a shot.

Aunt Jemima on a pancake box, board games, books and other racist items are some of the objects that can be seen in the “Hateful Things” exhibition at NIU’s Pick Museum of Anthropology.
Rachelle Wilson, the curator of the museum, said the organization has a social justice-driven mission and the events that happened over the summer show that racism needs to be talked about in the community.
“These are issues that we re facing every single day, and we should be a part of those conversations and bringing this particular exhibit in is opening the doors for those conversations,” Wilson said. “In a way that is almost a safe space for that dialogue to be happening.”
