The NOvA experiment has three main physics goals: make the first observations of muon neutrinos changing to electron neutrinos, determine the tiny masses of the three neutrino types and look for clues that help explain how matter came to dominate antimatter in the universe.
Methane and nitrous oxide emissions that result from human activity make the terrestrial biosphere, which includes all land-based ecosystems, a net contributor of greenhouse gas emissions.
What was once thought to be a helpful pit stop for carbon dioxide to accumulate harmlessly without contributing to global warming actually isn’t as helpful as scientists had hoped.
How does our genetic makeup influence how we age? Professor Hua Bai has developed a genetic model system to explore this interesting and important question. Dr. Bai joined the GDCB department as a tenure-eligible assistant professor in January 2016. Dr. Bai received his B.S. in Biology from East China Normal University; his M.S. in Aquatic … Continue reading New GDCB faculty member Hua Bai studies how animals age
Iowa State University researchers found a link between negative media stories about Muslims and support for military action and restrictions against Muslims. The research, published in the journal Communication Research, was designed to gauge the influence of media coverage portraying Muslims as terrorists.
The Washington Post published an article by LAS Professor David Peterson and assistant professor Tessa Ditonto about the shift in presidential candidate preferences in Iowa.
