  Graduate student Proma Basu presented a poster on studying the proteins plants express as they are exposed to gravitational changes in spaceflight and upon reorientation to the Earth’s gravitational pull on Oct. 25 at the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research. Her co-author on Proteomics Analysis of Plants […]

Undergraduate student Adam Cook presented a poster on revealing novel genes in research on how plants respond to gravity at the annual meeting of the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research Oct. 25 in Pasadena, CA. Co-authors on Microarray Analysis of GPS Treatment Reveals Novel Genes Involved in Gravitropic […]

Undergraduate student Zachary Hall presented a poster on identifying a genetic mutation in the small, mustard-like plant that allows Ohio University researchers to study the gravitational effect on the plant. The research on Identification of the Gene Defective in gravity persistence signal (gps) 6 of Arabidopsis thaliana was co-authored by […]

Dr. Katarzyna Marciniak’s new book “Immigrant Protest: Politics, Aesthetics, and Everyday Dissent” explores how political activism, art, and popular culture challenge the discrimination and injustice faced by “illegal” and displaced peoples. The Ohio University Women’s Center hosts an International Women’s Coffee Hour and Book Party featuring Marciniak on Wednesday, Nov. […]

By Akil Houston Assistant Professor of Cultural and Media Studies from Media Commons Listen: mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/imr/2014/09/02/badu-family-ruminations-southern-aesthetic Before southern rap was homogenized by a commercial industry obsessed with a derivative southern aesthetic with danceable drawled out hooks and questionable evidence of lyrics, the South crafted a distinct flavor. The Dirty South, not […]

It’s been millions of years since T. rex took its last breath, but a Biological Sciences grad student is part of a team breathing life back into dinosaurs using high-powered computer simulations to model airflow through dinosaur snouts. The research has important implications for how dinosaurs used their noses not […]

October 2014 Geological Sciences Newsletter To understand ancient life, scientists often look to modern organisms for lessons in extinct ecosystems and environments. And there are many unanswered questions. “In most instances, the only way for paleontologists to address questions related to the life activities of extinct taxa is to investigate […]
