News-Media Coverage
- Akram Mukhamedzhanov (Cyclotron Institute), Energy Innovation Review, about the refinement of key nuclear reaction data used in stellar models, improving predictions of how massive stars evolve and where black holes are likely to form.
- Ashok Shetty, Madhu Leelavathi Narayana and Maheedhar Kodali (Medicine), Houston Chronicle, about the development of an experimental nasal spray that reduced brain inflammation and improved memory and cognitive function in mice, offering a potential new treatment for brain fog and age-related cognitive decline. (Paywall)
- Daniel Hajovsky (Education and Human Development), Web Pro News, about a study that analyzed more than 50,000 data points and found that auditory processing and background knowledge are far stronger predictors of children’s reading success than IQ or visual skills, challenging long-held assumptions about literacy and learning.
- David Anderson (Agriculture and Life Sciences), Brownfield Ag News, about why a proposed (and temporarily suspended) Trump administration plan to temporarily lower beef import tariffs likely would not have significantly reduced retail beef prices amid strong demand, tight cattle supplies and ongoing herd challenges.
- Eric Y. Lee (Business), The Wall Street Journal Leadership Institute’s CEO Brief, about research showing that CEO transitions can create “attack windows” where competitors attempt to capitalize on leadership disruption, particularly when firms appoint external successors or leaders with different professional backgrounds.

- Jun Wang (Medicine), PsyPost, about findings that competing alcohol-related memories are stored in distinct networks of the same brain cells, helping explain how relapse and recovery behaviors coexist and offering potential new targets for treating alcohol use disorder.
- Kate Creevy (Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences), The Washington Post, about studies through the Dog Aging Project to determine whether antiaging drugs such as rapamycin can safely improve heart health, mobility, cognitive function and lifespan in aging dogs.
- Ken Muneoka (Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences), Sciencepost, about the discovery two proteins can reprogram cells to regenerate bones, tendons and joints in amputated mouse toes, opening new possibilities for regenerative medicine and scar-free healing. (French)
- Levi Belnap, Nate Sharp and Shrihari Sridhar (Business), Poets and Quants, about the belief that as artificial intelligence accelerates entrepreneurship, business education must shift from rewarding polished pitches to teaching students how to rapidly test assumptions, learn from evidence and adapt their ideas.
