My trip, the movie, and the commentary by scholars all remind me that ethical analysis runs deep, and must take account of many aspects of decision-making, both personal and strategic. It’s not one simple thing or another. I would like my students to remember that. And that even the weather has its significant role to play in the outcome of our choices.

Using the Chinese Fast radio telescope, an international group of astronomers has discovered a quasi-periodic wobble in the radio band in the galactic microquasar Grs 1915+105. The signal has an approximate period of 0.2 seconds and does not seem to occur all the time. It could be caused by a misalignment between the black hole's axis of rotation and its accretion disk

Students and faculty at 15 Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) will grow their research and technology capabilities, collaborate with NASA on research projects, and contribute to the agency’s missions through a new funding opportunity made possible by NASA’s Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP). The MUREP Partnership Annual Notification is providing nearly $900,000 to help selected MSIs develop new technologies for use in space exploration as well as in the commercial marketplace.

After a supreme court ruling in June, colleges can no longer use race, or ask about race when considering students for admission.

To realize this dream, she went back to school, completing her bachelor's degree in just one year through UNLV's Paraprofessional Pathways Project. The program helps fast-track the transition to teaching, to help with the rampant turnover we're seeing in schools.

Researchers argue that scent dogs could be particularly useful during pandemics, potentially as part of rapid health screenings in public spaces. Experts say scent dogs may be accurate but present practical challenges, so they won’t likely replace PCR tests anytime soon.

John Dalton, a retired Navy SEAL, lost nine of his fellow SEALs in the last year — all to suicide or alcoholism induced by PTSD and traumatic brain injuries.
