2019 'Frontiers in Science' Public Lecture Series
¼ø»Æʦapp's Charles E. Schmidt College of Science will host its 2019 "Frontiers in Science" series with seven different lectures, on Fridays from Jan. 11 through April 5.
Florida's First NSF-funded AI and Deep Learning Laboratory
Led by researchers in ¼ø»Æʦapp's College of Engineering and Computer Science, ¼ø»Æʦapp will establish Florida's first NSF-funded Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Training and Research Laboratory.
Who's Tougher? Baby Sharks or Daddy Sharks?
One would assume that since humans and many animals tend to get stiffer and perhaps tougher as they reach adulthood, the same would be true for sharks. ¼ø»Æʦapp and NOAA scientists set out to test this hypothesis.
¼ø»Æʦapp Awarded More than $1.1 Million for Alzheimer's Research
¼ø»Æʦapp Brain Institute fellows have received more than $1.1 million from the Florida Department of Health's Ed and Ethel Moore Alzheimer's Disease Research Program.
'Eavesdropping' on Groupers' Mating Calls Key to Survival
Researchers from ¼ø»Æʦapp's College of Engineering and Computer Science and ¼ø»Æʦapp's Harbor Branch have developed a novel technique to identify groupers by their sounds or grouper calls using deep neural networks.
Type of Exercise Halts Cognitive Decline in Obese People
¼ø»Æʦapp researchers have discovered what might be an effective strategy to prevent and combat cognitive dysfunction in obese individuals using an effective form of exercise - high-intensity interval exercise.
¼ø»Æʦapp to Serve on Specialized Agency of the United Nations
¼ø»Æʦapp's Charles E. Schmidt College of Science is among a handful of academic institutions in the U.S. appointed to serve on the International Telecommunication Union of the United Nations.
Innovative Stroke Treatment Leads to Patent Applications
An innovative agent that has been used for decades to treat alcohol-use disorder is showing real promise for the treatment of stroke and has resulted in a U.S. patent application for a neuroscientist at ¼ø»Æʦapp.
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill's Dramatic Effect on Stingrays
A study is the first to measure the physiological effects of whole crude oil on the sensory system of a marine animal - the Atlantic stingray. Results show a significant impact after just 48 hours of exposure.
Can't Sleep? Fruit Flies, Energy Drinks Offer New Clues
¼ø»Æʦapp neuroscientists and collaborators have discovered a gene and a new mechanism for regulating sleep in fruit flies using an ingredient commonly found in energy drinks like Red Bull(TM).
