Researchers identified several families of "jumping genes," or transposons, in cyanobacteria and Streptomyces that can find and insert themselves at the telomere, with benefits for the transposon and their bacterial host.
The exhibit celebrates a century of applying science and design to the study of the home, the result of a collaboration between the museum and the College of Human Ecology as part of its centennial year.
The program from the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research provides student teachers an understanding on the neuroscience behind children’s learning and development and encourages them to pass that knowledge to their students.

The gift from philanthropist Tom Secunda, co-founder of Bloomberg L.P., will help fund artificial intelligence-related research at Cornell Tech in New York City and at the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science in Ithaca.
A Cornell-led collaboration devised a new method for designing metals and alloys that can withstand extreme impacts: introducing nanometer-scale speed bumps that suppress a fundamental transition that controls how metallic materials deform.
