Stevan J. Arnold, emeritus professor of integrative biology at Oregon State University, has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, one of the highest honors in science.
A childhood spent tagging along on veterinary calls sparked Oregon State University alum Thomas Webb’s lifelong curiosity about how the world works. Decades later, that same curiosity now shapes his legacy by supporting the tools that help future chemistry students explore it for themselves.
Join the Department of Microbiology as it hosts Vincent Racaniello, Higgins Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Columbia University, for an upcoming lecture, "Pivoting from poliovirus to podcasts," as he shares his groundbreaking work in virology and how it led him to a dynamic science communication career.
The Department of Mathematics invites you to the 41st Lonseth Lecture on Thursday, May 28, with guest lecturer Laura P. Schaposnik. In her lecture, titled "Geometry of Hidden & Broken Symmetries," Schaposnik will break symmetry on purpose to see what drives reality.
Erica Baird (’05, M.A. mathematics ’09, Ph.D. mathematics and statistics ’13) didn’t set out to become an actuary. In fact, when she first heard about the career as an undergraduate mathematics student at Oregon State University, she was skeptical.
For graduate students in chemistry at Oregon State University, conference season is more than a professional milestone — it’s a launchpad for future careers. Each year, students share discoveries and gain experience presenting their work, but conference travel is costly, and not all research groups can fund the experience. This Dam Proud Day, we're rallying to offset these costs to ensure no budding scientist is kept from this important milestone.
The College of Science and Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at Oregon State University have received a $450K award from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust to establish the Partners in Science program on the Corvallis campus.
Anna Benson, a student majoring in Marine Biology and International Studies at Oregon State, studied abroad last fall at James Cook University in Townsville, Australia. While she was there she had the opportunity to take a variety of coursework pertaining to her interests in marine biology and indigenous peoples studies. Benson shared her experiences with OSU Global Opportunities.
The novel sensor, which also has potential applications in health care and environmental monitoring, is based on the design principle of engineered interfacial chemistry. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the study by scientists at Oregon State and researchers in Taiwan was published in Applied Nano Materials, a journal of the American Chemical Society.
At this year's Milne Lecture, Professor Bin Yu of UC Berkeley will introduce veridical data science: Grounded in three fundamental principles — Predictability, Computability and Stability (PCS) — veridical data science makes the uncertainties surrounding human decision-making in healthcare more explicit and assessable, aggregating reality-checked algorithms for better results.
"Math circles are for kids who like math and for kids who want to like math, so it's possible that they just don't like the math they're doing in classes, and they'll enjoy this more,” said founder Nathan Gibson.
