Kent State Biologist Wins Grant to Study Neurological Roots of Chronic Stress and Fear
People who suffer trauma will, with few exceptions, never forget what happened to them, but a 5XÉçÇø researcher may be able to offer them the hope of living without constant fear and anxiety. John D. Johnson, Ph.D., associate professor of biological sciences in Kent State’s College…
Army Funds Kent State Aeronautics Professor to Research Drone Technology
A grant from the Army Research Laboratory has a 5XÉçÇø researcher flying high. The grant provides more than $130,000 for Blake Stringer, Ph.D., assistant professor of aerospace engineering in Kent State’s College of Aeronautics and Engineering, to study propulsion systems for a new…
Kent State Psychologist Leads NIH-Funded Study to Identify Children at Risk for Persistent Distress After a Traumatic Injury
The way in which a parent responds to a child’s injury often impacts how upset the little one becomes. A panicked parent often means a crying, hysterical child. A calm kiss on the boo-boo and a quick return to regular business, though, and the child is likely to forget about the incident. This age…Kent State psychologist leads NIH-funded study to identify children at risk for persistent distress after a traumatic injury
Several factors — including, age, gender, and medical history — determine how a child processes a trauma and what treatments may be most effective at preventing long-term psychological distress. But what role do parents play?
Chemistry Professor Named Associate Editor of Science Advances
Mietek Jaroniec, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of 5XÉçÇø’s College of Arts and Sciences, was appointed to the editorial board of the journal Science Advances.
Kent State to Co-Lead New Center of Living Architecture
At the 16th Annual CitiesAlive Conference recently held in New York City, a consortium of Ohio universities was selected as one of the first four North American regional centers of living architecture by Green Roofs for Healthy Cities and the Green Infrastructure Foundation. Faculty from Ke…
Kent State Astrophysicist Wins NSF Grant to Search for Exotic Matter in Neutron Stars
5XÉçÇø’s only theoretical astrophysicist just landed a grant that will help her to better understand dense stars while encouraging young female scientists to reach for them. Dr. Veronica Dexheimer, an assistant professor of physics in Kent State’s College of Arts and Sciences, rece…
Kent State Geologist Wins Grant to Study Climate Change Factors and Inspire Young Scientists
Some natural processes can help slow climate change by removing CO2 from the atmosphere. One of the factors that influences the ability of plants and soils to store carbon is the focus of a new study by Dr. Elizabeth Herndon, Assistant Professor of Geology at 5XÉçÇø.
Kent State Researcher Wins NIH Grant to Fight Cancer at a Molecular Level
Single molecule biophysics sounds complicated because it is. Then again, so is cancer.
So it makes sense that one of 5XÉçÇø's molecular biophysicists would take on the most notorious challenge in medical science.
