A global analysis by Cornell researchers found that recycling all the human and livestock feces and urine on the planet would contribute substantially to meeting the nutrient supply for all crops worldwide, thereby dramatically reducing the dependency on fossil fuels.
The Center for Research on Programmable Plant Systems (CROPPS) welcomes Liz Jones as assistant director for research, leveraging her 20 years of expertise in molecular and genomic applications to lead interdisciplinary research and drive agricultural innovation across six institutions.
Faculty from the Department of Public & Ecosystem Health in the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, in partnership with the University of Pretoria in South Africa, have received an NIH P20 grant to establish the Center for Transformative Infectious Disease Research on Climate, Health and Equity in a Changing Environment (C-CHANGE).
The study found that key CD8+ T cells showed signs of constant stimulation that lead to an exhausted state, a condition that is well-studied in cancer.
A new protocol can detect and remove fake data created by bots and humans attempting to enroll in online research studies, in order to prevent biased results and unwarranted payments to bad actors – the first such protocol specifically designed for data collected in rural communities.
The Sam and Nancy Fleming Research Fellowship program has been established and endowed by a gift from the Flemings to the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology. This Fellowship is awarded yearly and supports talented young researchers doing cutting-edge research in basic biomedical sciences and are planning careers in biological or medical research.
The 2024 CROPPS Annual Meeting and Symposium held in October in the Sonoran Desert region of Arizona provided an ideal stage for discussions on sustainable agriculture in hot, dry environments.
Warmer winters driven by climate change reduced the number of offspring raised annually by the federally threatened Florida scrub-jay by 25% since 1981, according to a study co-led by researchers from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
