“Fraternities are the places where problematic and toxic masculinity is incubated,” says Andrew Moisey, a photographer and assistant professor and director of visual studies at Cornell. “We literally send our kids to be educated in places where they learn to be the opposite of gentleman. It’s mind-boggling.”

The Everest Seedless is a new variety developed at Cornell University’s agricultural research station in Geneva. CALS horticulture professor Bruce Reisch says the new fruit is a cold-tolerant, blue Concord-type grape with berries about twice the size of the traditional Concord.

"Climate change on Earth today is likely to affect how habitable our planet is. However, even the worst-case scenario won't make the planet uninhabitable for all forms of life. That's the positive part," says Jack O’Malley-James, a research associate at Cornell University’s Carl Sagan Institute. "The negative part is that what we're doing to the planet is making it less suitable for our own survival.”

"What you want to avoid at all costs is overspecialization early on in your career," explains Associate Professor of Computer Science Emin Gün Sirer. "If you end up going to a program dedicated to blockchain, I think I personally would say you're making a mistake. The right thing to do is establish a broad, strong base," he says.

Hurricane winds push water the way a snowplow pushes and piles up snow, says Arthur DeGaetano, the director of the Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University. “Those persistent strong winds blowing in the same direction literally pile up the water,” he says.

“There are too many coins, most of them of questionable value, and the exchanges are in a position to pick and choose. It’s not surprising that they would make demands for the coins to bring in something tangible to the exchange,” says Emin Gun Sirer, associate professor of computer science.

It would be a tough measurement of an unimaginably tiny signal, but Cornell University astronomer Professor Jonathan Lunine, who was not involved in this study, is excited by the prediction, saying "they make the case that this can really be done with JWST. I think that we're in a remarkable time for understanding our Universe and exploring the cosmos, and James Webb is going to take the next step in that. It is going to be truly worth it."

Social learning of migration routes also appears to happen with cranes and geese, but not other birds, says Cornell University ornithologist Kevin McGowan, who didn’t participate in the study.

Canada imposed even more protections for its dairy industry by creating a special pricing system, making it cheaper for Canadian farmers to buy milk ingredients  from domestic suppliers. The move hurt a few big dairy companies based in New York and Wisconsin, says Andrew Novakovic, a professor of agricultural economics at Dyson.

Peter Wrege, director of Cornell University’s Elephant Listening Project, part of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, describes the development of AI tools as “critical to conservation work. “The quicker we can get that kind of information to the people who are making the decisions that affect [the animals’] survival, obviously the better,” he says.

Michael Hoffmann, director of the Cornell Institute for Climate Smart Solutions comments on a new study in the journal Science, showing that global warming will make bugs hungrier, which will mean more pesticides. Hoffmann points out that beneficial insects can also thrive in a warmer climate, "offering some suppression of the pests."

The six-wheeled robot has been through quite an ordeal, says mission scientific principal investigator Steve Squyres, a professor of physical sciences at Cornell University; it'll therefore probably take a few weeks to bring Opportunity out of whatever "fault mode" it has fallen into and assess its health and capabilities. "It's either going to be a miraculous recovery, or an honorable death," Squyres says.
