ÑÇÖÞAV

A ÑÇÖÞAV researcher is part of a team of scientists who have devised a wetsuit treatment that greatly increases the amount of time divers can safely spend in bitterly cold water.

There are a number of things you could be thinking about during your commute, from the day’s agenda to what podcast to listen to. For a few ÑÇÖÞAV professors and students from the College of Health and Human Services, the Volgenau School of Engineering and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, a less common topic is front of mind: the effects of traffic pollution on women’s health.

ÑÇÖÞAV has once again been recognized as one of the nation’s top research universities by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.

Across five continents, more than 100 Smithsonian research projects collect a continuous stream of data on wildlife using camera traps—motion-triggered cameras that clue scientists in on what’s happening when humans aren’t around.
This semester, ÑÇÖÞAV senior Jamie Fetherolf is contributing to the network firsthand, by setting up camera traps in Washington, D.C., and analyzing the data with a Smithsonian conservation scientist at the Smithsonian-Mason School of Conservation.

Horrified to learn about Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, ÑÇÖÞAV professor A. Trevor Thrall was intrigued when he met John Fuisz, cofounder of SSR Industries, and learned that his company had developed a new strategy for finding social media attacks online.
