News-Media Coverage
- Alexei Sokolov (Arts and Sciences) and Jizhou Wang (Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering), Waco Tribune-Herald, about the development of a high-speed imaging technique that captures both the motion and chemical activity of living organisms in real time, providing a powerful new tool for studying disease progression, cellular changes and responses to treatment.
- Andreea Botezatu (Agriculture and Life Sciences), High Plains Journal, about the science behind sugar, sulfites, tannins and sparkling wines and why consumers should choose wines based on personal preference rather than misconceptions.
- Andrew Dessler (Arts and Sciences), CBC, about the difficulty of counting heat-related deaths using the regression method.
- Babak Taheri (Agriculture and Life Sciences), Community Impact, about Texas A&M’s Digital Transformation Lab, a research and teaching facility designed to study how artificial intelligence, biometrics, behavioral analytics and virtual simulations can improve hospitality experiences.
- Benjamin Neuman (Arts and Sciences), The Los Angeles Post, about how the measles virus has changed very little over the past 70 years, which means the decades-old MMR vaccine remains highly effective, and the greatest health risk comes from infection with the wild virus, not vaccination.
- Bonnie Beaver (Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences), Fort Worth Star-Telegram, about how fear and anxiety are common in dogs and why early intervention and environmental enrichment, such as scent-based activities, can support canine well-being.
- Candice Brinkmeyer-Langford (Public Health), ZME Science, about findings that a viral infection in mice can trigger lasting loss of dopamine-producing neurons and Parkinson’s-like movement problems, providing a new model for investigating how infections may contribute to neurodegenerative disease.
- Chetan Jinadatha (Medicine), British Brief, about how effective home disinfection requires cleaning surfaces before disinfecting and allowing disinfectants to remain on surfaces for the full recommended dwell time to kill germs.
- David Staack and Micah Green (Engineering), Interesting Engineering, about the development of a scalable plasma-based process that converts natural gas into high-value graphene oxide while simultaneously producing clean hydrogen, offering a lower-cost, lower-emissions approach to manufacturing advanced materials.
- Dwayne Whitten, Wendy R. Boswell and Susan Oldroyd (Business), after5, about the examination of six decades of data on women in leadership that found that while overt bias has declined, hidden barriers and differences in how men and women experience workplace advancement continue to shape women’s paths to executive roles. (Croatian)
- Erica Bender (AgriLife Research), Arlington Report, about a study that will use mobile health clinics to examine how maternal nutrition during pregnancy affects the health of mothers and babies, with the goal of improving long-term maternal and infant health outcomes.
- Huachao Gao and Shrihari Sridhar (Business), Lab Manager, about the development of the RISE framework to show how people’s motivations, concerns and use cases influence their adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI),highlighting the need for organizations to look beyond usage metrics when implementing AI strategies.
- Jay Maddock (Public Health), Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine, about how even brief periods in nature can quickly reduce stress and improve mood.
- John Nielsen-Gammon (Arts and Sciences), Planet Classroom, about why extreme weather is becoming more dangerous and less predictable.
- John Nielsen-Gammon (Arts and Sciences), ABC News, about how a rare combination of atmospheric conditions, abundant Gulf moisture and the Texas Hill Country's steep, shallow-soil terrain caused the prolonged, extreme rainfall and dangerous flash flooding across central Texas.
- John Tomeček and Sonja Swiger (Agriculture and Life Sciences), Texas Monthly, about how the New World screwworm could infect Texas’ feral hog population, but any resulting reduction in hog numbers likely wouldn’t be worth the greater risks of disease for livestock and wildlife or the possibility of spreading the pest to other states.
- Jonathan Snodgrass (Engineering), KBTX, about how the Electric Reliability Council of Texas evaluates and manages data center connections to protect grid reliability, and the importance of transparent community engagement as Texas considers new policies to accommodate rapid data center growth.
- Jun Wang (Medicine), Yahoo! News, about findings that impaired cognitive flexibility may appear before memory loss in Alzheimer's disease, suggesting a potential new early indicator that could improve diagnosis and treatment.
- Jungjoo “Jay” Lee and Junhyoung “Paul” Kim (Public Health), Health.News, about study findings that physical activity, especially vigorous exercise, is associated with less sleep disruptions in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
- Justin Scheiner and Andrej Svyantek (Agriculture and Life Sciences), Texas Standard and Fort Worth Star-Telegram, about preparations to launch Texas wine grape seeds into space via the TAMU-SPIRIT-1 mission as part of engineering students Arvid Subramanyam and Coby Arnold’s capstone project.
- Marlan Scully (Arts and Sciences), SSBCrack News, about quantum mechanics' evolution from a theoretical concept to a driver of modern technology, and highlights of Scully’s pioneering contributions to quantum optics, laser spectroscopy and quantum heat engines that continue to advance the field.
- Michael Golding and Kara Thomas (Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences), The Atlantic, about how alcohol use in men prior to impregnating women could cause developmental changes similar to those seen in children with fetal alcohol syndrome, along with worse IVF success rates.
- Raymond Robertson (Government and Public Service), NPR, about how President Trump's anti-communist messaging may resonate with older voters who remember the Cold War but is likely less effective with younger generations, who lack that historical context and may see contradictions with the administration's industrial investment policies.
- Shaunna Clark (Medicine), Drug Today, about findings that women taking monophasic combined oral contraceptives reported higher levels of emotional eating during hormone-containing pill days, providing new insight into how synthetic hormones may influence eating behavior.
- Yufei Huang (Medicine), ESRT, about findings that alcohol has opposite effects on brain signaling in different Alzheimer's disease models, revealing that its impact depends on the underlying amyloid or tau pathology rather than affecting all forms of the disease the same way. (Spanish)
- Zenon Medina-Cetina (Engineering), Energies Media, about the development of a Bayesian modeling approach that improves predictions of submarine landslides, helping offshore wind and energy developers better assess geohazards and protect critical subsea infrastructure.
