Wow! A team of high school students have co-authored a scientific journal paper with their University of Arizona graduate student instructor that could have a serious impact on the reliability of climate models. Their work details the impact of shrinkage on dried, fossilized leaves—shrinkage that is often unaccounted for in climate models. By better accounting for this change in leaf size, the students found that researchers could significantly improve the accuracy of their climate models. More: http://bit.ly/15TI67H
Great news for our colleagues in the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory…congratulations! http://bit.ly/185Xifz
A new movement is under way to shift the way in which the University of Arizona engages its community partners in outreach initiatives funded by research grants. Where academics of the past sometimes limited their outreach projects, the move today is toward tailored, multi-year culturally responsive initiatives that serve a range of people throughout Arizona and beyond.
