That the glaciers in Earth’s polar region are melting may seem like old news, but a recent study by Cornell researchers shows that climate change is rapidly melting the seldom-studied ice fields in Southern Patagonia, too.

“LUX: Art and Science Exhibition,” the first display of its kind, promoted innovation and investigation within the arts and the hard sciences. Last weekend, select artists from around the world and distinguished Cornell scientists gathered at Willard Straight Hall and Milstein Hall to present an exhibition that combined both science and art through the medium of light. 

There is always that kid. He or she is allergic to almost everything. Whether it’s nuts, gluten, or soy, it seems like that kid has no fun at all. Though no one in my family has any major allergies, they often affect me. My four cats, for example, are never a crowd pleaser for “those people.” It seems that since there are so many allergies, scientists would have a thorough understanding of many of them, yet currently, this is not really the case. According to the National Institute of Health, in the US, alone, there are 15,000 to 30,000 anaphylaxis episodes each year, and about 100 to 200 deaths.

Fall may be long gone, but the supply of healthy, harvested goods is still aplenty.  Apples are still being picked, big leafy greens are piling up, and butternut squash is being blended into soups, all to nourish our hard-working bodies.   One of my absolute favorite autumn crops is pumpkin.  Apart from their aesthetic qualities, pumpkins are packed with healthy nutrients.  Here is a quick nutritional run down of these colorful orbs:

President Barack Obama awarded four Cornell assistant professors the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers on Sept. 26. While 94 other scientists received the award, no other university was as well represented on the list.

Faculty and students attended a meeting in Washington D.C. on Feb. 17 through 21 to discuss the future of various science topics.
