Constellation Conversation: Retired NASA astronaut shares what it's like up there (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For thousands of years, humans looked up at the night sky and wondered “What’s up there?” To try to answer that question, we’re back with another part of our occasional series called Constellation Conversation. Today we hear from a retired NASA astronaut who served on two space missions, and who currently works at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. He tells us about his view from a rocket ship. Winston Scott is a retired NASA astronaut who served the space missions, Endeavor and Columbia.
UF researchers develop new tree to combat citrus greening disease (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Citrus Greening has plagued Florida farmers for decades. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, since the disease was first detected, Florida's citrus production has dropped by almost 95%. But a newly developed tree approved for rollout last week could be the potential solution. It's called CarriCea T1, and is a rootstock that University of Florida researchers developed that resists citrus greening. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved the company Soilicea to sell more tha
UF ends contract allowing Krishna Lunch on campus, group's adviser says (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gainesville's local Krishna House has served lunch on the University of Florida campus for over 50 years. But last week, UF ended the contract allowing the group to do so.

Read excerpt
We're in the heat of the summer travel season, and one of the biggest frustrations for those on vacation is the airport. But biological researchers at the University of Florida want to make that experience better. Airports have a lot of moving parts. And when one thing goes wrong, it creates a domino effect that can hurt a person's travel experience. That according to Greg Kiker, an agricultural and biological engineer at the University of Florida, who is studying how to make the air travel expe
UF researchers develop method for removing "forever chemicals" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You may have heard of the term forever chemicals — or PFAS. They're microscopic materials that have been linked to some health defects, and they typically come from household appliances like nonstick cookware. Researchers from the University of Florida have found a more effective way to take them out. They call this new technique the "molecular velcro." Here's how it works. This gel-based material uses electrical charges that trap PFOA, the most widely found version of PFAS. Joshua Moon is a che
