The explosion of new lemur species that began when the first of those animals arrived on Madagascar more than 50 million years ago has not died down, according to scientists who’ve identified three different groups of lemurs with high speciation rates.

The work centers around crystalline, porous materials known as metal organic frameworks, often abbreviated as MOFs, and points toward next-generation materials that may end reliance on rare earth metals.

From lab bench to student outreach, Kaitlyn Kim built bridges — fusing curiosity with care to uplift others in every space she touched.

Students traded textbooks for tangible skills in a rural Mexican field clinic, dressing wounds, working alongside veterinarians and seeing up close what care animals truly need.

A team of scientists led by chemist Chong Fang has discovered a new way to visualize and track chloride ions in living systems, opening the door to accelerated research on diseases like cystic fibrosis, epilepsy and certain cancers.

Podrabsky, an OSU alumnus with deep roots in Oregon, returns to Corvallis after serving more than 20 years at Portland State University, where he built a globally recognized research program and held several senior leadership roles.
