STEM activities with family and educators expose students to diverse STEM career paths (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Activities children take part in with family and friends can help shape the fields of study and careers they pursue as adults. A new study published in the International Journal of STEM Education by FIU education researchers Chris Irwin and Zahra Hazari found that STEM activities and conversations with family, friends and teachers are among the strongest factors influencing students’ motivations for pursuing STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) careers. Among 15,725 first-year colleg
Toxic algae can pose a hidden danger to dogs swimming in freshwater (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Diving into cool water can be a quick way to escape the summer heat, but during certain times of year, freshwater can pose hidden dangers to people and pets. Lakes and canals can harbor toxic algae that swimmers and pet owners may not see or even know are there. A study published in the journal CurrentOpinion in Food Science by FIU researcher Schonna R. Manning, examines cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae, which can multiply rapidly in freshwater, forming blooms and proliferations
Can mathematics improve lung cancer screenings? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Detecting lung cancer early is critical to a patient’s survival, but how early is early enough? Florida International University math professor and researcher Deborah Goldwasser is uncovering new findings that could identify the mathematical tipping point between a curable cancer and terminal cancer. Her work could change how doctors determine the best timing for lung cancer screening by correcting statistical biases that may be over-estimating the window for curing aggressive cancers. Goldwasse
Tiny battery takes giant leap into space (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two months ago, Peter Cabauy '96 held the future of space exploration in his hands. Now it’s circling the Earth every 96 minutes. The alumnus is the co-founder and CEO of Miami-based City Labs, which recently sent nuclear micropower technology into space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, a world first for commercial space flight. The company's revolutionary solid-state NanoTritium battery can deliver continuous, ultra-low power for decades, even in the harshest environments. Originally designed f
Roads and dams put European eels at risk, scientists offer strategy to save them (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Roads, dams and other infrastructure built to make life easier for people have unintentionally made survival harder for another form of life — critically endangered European eels. An international team of scientists have put forth recommendations, published in Global Ecology and Conservation, for conservation strategies that could save the species from extinction including improved population monitoring, restored freshwater habitats and stronger international collaboration. The team includes FIU
