Cornell scientists believe the NASA-led research team that announced its findings to the world that day has provided excellent data to substantiate its claim that life once existed on Mars.
A Cornell youth and work expert is calling for employers of teenagers to obtain "seals of approval" before adolescents can work for them. Parents should be as concerned about where their teenagers work as they are about their schools, because youth employment can have either profoundly positive or seriously harmful effects.
Natural solutions to human diseases, from Alzheimer's to cancers, might lie within the genomes of whales, bats and other mammals, a leading genetic researcher believes. Treatments, from drugs to therapies, might result from mapping the thousands of mammalian genomes.
ITHACA, N.Y. -- Fifteen undergraduate students from across the country arrived in Ithaca, N.Y., on June 2 to begin a summer of research at the Cornell Theory Center (CTC). The Supercomputing Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR), in its seventh year, is offering students the opportunity to pursue a computational science research project at Cornell University. SPUR is funded by the National Science Foundation through its Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. Through a competitive process, these students were selected from colleges and universities across the nation to come to Cornell during the summer to work on a specific research project under the guidance of a Cornell faculty or staff member. CTC staff members are teaching the students how to use CTC's high-performance computing resources, and they are providing consulting assistance throughout the program. spurs.ltb.html

Two prominent entomologists, one from Cornell, warn that three recent studies on the effects of genetically engineered crops have distorted the debate about engineered crops and that this could have "profound consequences" for science and public policy.
Growers know that after years of driving heavy farm equipment over wet soil during the planting or harvest seasons, the soil gets compacted. In compacted soil, crops have difficulty growing.
