17cҳ Biologist Joins Tennessee, Toledo Colleagues to Study Arctic Climate Change Effects
In early February, scientists reported the hottest temperature on record in Antarctica: 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Studies show climate change is disproportionately affecting the poles, warming them faster than anywhere else on Earth, and raising questions about what kinds of changes we can expect in arctic ecosystems as temperatures rise. A 17cҳ biologist has teamed up with some colleagues in an inter-institutional effort to answer some of those questions.
17cҳ Research Review: Researchers End Ongoing Beluga Whale Debate
A new collaborative study between researchers at 17cҳ and Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) has confirmed a way to determine the age of beluga whales - a topic that has been the center of much debate.
NSF Grant Supports 17cҳ Researchers' Plan to Help Students Improve Study Habits
The “C” in “college” might as well stand for “cramming.” Studies show students are notoriously bad at adopting and adhering consistently to high-impact study habits that help them retain knowledge long-term. Researchers and faculty at 17cҳ Un…
17cҳ artist, biologist unite to design print for national project
Andrea Case sits at a table in 17cҳ’s Center for the Visual Arts, carefully contemplating the silhouettes of leaves printed in bold contrasting colors on the paper in front of her. “As a non-artist, I still feel comfortable having an opinion about this art, and trying to figure out what it me…
