Insects play a vital role in our ecosystems, influencing everything from pollination to nutrient cycling. However, in recent years, there has been growing concern about declining insect populations worldwide. The "RCN: An International Network to Assess the Status of Insects" project aims to address this critical issue by establishing a comprehensive network of researchers, experts, and institutions dedicated to assessing the status of insect populations on a global scale. ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï Associate Professor Christine Bahlai, Ph.D., from the Department of Biological Sciences, has ...
ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï researchers are beginning to use a new high-tech microscope that will allow them to view the structure of cell tissue on a more intense level. A new multimodal nonlinear optical microscope, or NLO, capable of various image scattering techniques using lasers, was installed in the Integrated Sciences Building on the ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï Campus in June. It will be used by faculty and researchers in both ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State’s Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute (AMLCI) and Brain Health Research Institute (BHRI), as well as science researchers from across the universi...
