Three Alabama State University students have received country-wide recognition from the National Association of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Title III Administrators, as representatives of Region-7, of which Alabama State University is a member.

The ASU student winners are Malaysha Brunner, a junior majoring in Secondary Math from Columbus, Ohio; Caleb Martin, a sophomore majoring in Criminal Justice from Conyers, Georgia; and Louisa Tembo, a Computer Science sophomore from Mufulira, Zambia. In addition to the national honor, each student was given a small scholarship.

Trillions of miles away from our planet, nuclear reactions inside exploding stars produce most of the naturally occurring elements in the universe.

Here on Earth, Florida State University physicists at the John D. Fox Superconducting Accelerator Laboratory will replicate those reactions to better understand how they work and produce elements. Their work to investigate the universe’s building blocks is funded by a $9 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Tires are an indispensable part of daily life. Without them, our vehicles would just be a bunch of assembled parts — convenient to sit in, but not effective for getting where you are going.

While their usefulness is undisputed, tires do come with some problems. A 2016 Federal Highway Administration report found 280 million tires are discarded annually in the United States. Globally, this number is much higher — over a billion, according to a report by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.

December is here, and the traditional signs are all around campus. Cold winds blow. Snow flurries fly. UVM students hunker down for finals. And local eighth graders are taking fieldtrips to the STEM complex and the Davis Center.

Browns River Middle School has a many-year history of bringing students to UVM during finals week for the students to get a feel for what college is like and see some exciting science demonstrations. They return this year, coordinated by Lisa Windhausen, who brought 48 students to see hour-long science shows from the Chemistry and Physics Departments.
