Dr. Leni Kaplan, a clinician and lecturer with Cornell’s Small Animal Community Practice, says that owners shouldn’t feel embarrassed by coming in with a list of questions. “Veterinarians have pets, too, and have often faced the exact challenges our clients face,” she says. “The more questions we can answer, the more successful owners and veterinarians will be in delivering the best care possible.”

“We might only need to protect birds, or restrict, or change the way people use certain landscapes for maybe just a few weeks during the year,’’ says Amanda Rodewald, professor of ornithology and director of conservation science at Cornell. “We now have the opportunity to dramatically transform how we approach conservation.’’ Lab of Ornithology researchers Marshall Iliff, Daniel Fink, Wesley Hochachka, Frank La Sorte and Andrew Farnsworth were also quoted in the piece.

“I’ve been a fan of comic books my entire life,” says Ryan Hearn, a fifth-year PhD student of linguistics at Cornell University. “It’s a dream come true on both academic and personal fronts.” Hearn was tasked with creating the language for the MCU’s other-worldly Torfans with fellow student Joseph Rhyne.

Aaron Koning, an aquatic ecologist with Cornell University’s Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future, began studying the effects of reserves on fish populations. “The fish seem to know where they are likely to be caught,” he explains. “If you stand near the boundary of a reserve and cast a shadow on fish lingering just outside it, the fish will inevitably go back into the reserve.”

"There is this willingness to support women in low-level political races or for lower level promotions when it has this service aspect, and then a sort of collapse of support at the highest levels, particularly the more masculine-coded domains," says Kate Manne, a professor of philosophy at Cornell University. "So I think that's part of what's going on."

“Self-driving car technology has made incredible advances over the last five years. Vastly improved vision technology combined with inputs from other sensors are getting us close to full autonomy," explains Bart Selman, professor of computer science at Cornell University. "However, we don't yet know whether we can reach the level of safety of a human driver within the next three to five years."

Inviting Wizkid to play Coachella last year was important, says Catherine Appert, assistant professor in Cornell University’s department of music and global hip hop cultures scholar. “The U.S. pop scene is becoming more open to artists from around the globe,” she says. “African artists themselves are being respected and valued.”

“This legislation will radically change the energy footprint of the built environment and will pay off in the long run with energy costs expected to rise and new business opportunities that will be generated by this forward thinking and radical policy,” says Timur Dogan, an architect and building scientist at Cornell University. 

Cornell University President Martha E. Pollack discusses lessons from the Cornell Tech project and offers three pieces of advice for Virginia Tech’s team. “Who cares that in the past, that wasn’t how it had been done?” Pollack says. “Be open-minded.”

“It was something that was really spectacular,” says Laurent Ferri, a curator in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections at Cornell University, who notes that the 12th-century oak framing was called “the forest” for the immense volume of wood that it encompassed.

Cornell University Provost Michael Kotlikoff contends in this op-ed that a group of highly valuable, highly deserving students remains poorly considered among the nation’s elite colleges. “The near-absence of undergraduate veterans at our most selective institutions is a great loss — both for the veterans who are excluded from this valuable learning environment, and for our other students, who would benefit from exposure to individuals with markedly different experiences,” he says.

“Those conservation efforts are benefiting birds, sure. But they’re also benefiting many other species that are using coastal habitats, and they’re also benefiting people,” says Amanda Rodewald, an ornithologist and professor at Cornell University. Doing away with the fines “actually could be putting other communities at risk from storm surges and other negative environmental impacts,” she adds.
