Intense wildfires near his hometown of Baker City, Oregon in 2020, sparked junior Jake Cuzick’s scientific interest and led to his determination to pursue a doctorate in chemistry. Cuzick’s passionate pursuit of his goals to develop novel solutions for green energy using synthetic chemistry has led to his being awarded a 2024-25 Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship. The Goldwater is the preeminent undergraduate award for students intending to pursue research careers in the fields of natural science, mathematics, and engineering.

New test can detect viral infections in uncultured bacteria The pandemic has made clear the threat that some viruses pose to people. But viruses can also infect life-sustaining bacteria and a Johns Hopkins University-led team has developed a test to determine if bacteria are sick, similar to the one used to test humans for COVID-19. "If there was a COVID-like pandemic occurring in important bacterial populations it would be difficult to tell, because before this study, we lacked the affordable and accurate tools necessary to study viral infections in uncultured bacterial populations," said st...
