The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education has awarded С��Ƭ��Ƶ the esteemed R1 status for research, which is the highest recognition that doctoral universities can receive. The prestigious designation affirms С��Ƭ��Ƶ’s place as an elite research institution and puts the university in the company of universities such as Yale, Harvard and the University of California-Berkeley. 

Intravenous (IV) needle insertion is a practice that many medical professionals learn and need to master. A new cross-departmental С��Ƭ��Ƶ project in the works will help nursing students improve their skills with cutting-edge technology. 

Many wonder if climate change is the reason we’ve had 'weather whiplash' or day-to-day dramatic changes from hot to cold or cold to hot. As a climate scientist, Cameron Lee, assistant professor in the Department of Geography in the College of Arts and Sciences at С��Ƭ��Ƶ, gets asked this question a lot. Looking beyond just the average temperatures and statistical means, he decided to take a more analytical look at weather whiplash and add to a growing body of climate change literature examining temperature variability trends.

In a new study, С��Ƭ��Ƶ Professor Hanbin Mao and other researchers report the creation of an artificial molecule with superpowers. It has the potential to revolutionize nanotechnology – and it also explains one of nature’s intriguing enigmas: Why do we have a right hand and a left hand?

Of the 33,984 awarded computer science (CS) bachelor’s degrees in 2020, only 21% of CS graduates identified as women, 3% as Black, and 8.5% as Hispanic (Zweben & Bizot, 2021). Susan Fisk, Ph.D., associate professor of sociology, is using her expertise in social-psychology to change that and improve the field of computing. Fisk was awarded her third National Science Foundation grant to continue her work on broadening participation in computing and improving undergraduate STEM education. 

Mietek Jaroniec, Ph.D., a С��Ƭ��Ƶ professor in the College of Arts and Sciences, is once again on Clarivate's list of Highly Cited Researchers in the world.

The report, published in the PLOS Biology journal, evaluated more than six million scientists across 22 different fields and 176 sub-fields from 1996 until 2019. The top 2% list is made up of more than 100,000 most-cited scientists who have authored at least five scientific papers.

Timothy Assal, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Geography, was awarded a grant as a co-principal investigator on a multi-institutional project, “Vulnerability of lower-ecotone aspen forests to altered fire regimes and climate dynamics in the northern Great Basin” (a three-year $299,842 total award with $89,600 going to С��Ƭ��Ƶ), which is funded by the .
