Susquehanna biology majors set new records
Susquehanna’s emphasis on research opportunities and interdisciplinary studies helps prepare our biology students for success. Sydney Salas ’23 won a prestigious NSF internship to study the neurobiology of aging and degenerative diseases. She was the youngest person to work in Cornell’s high-tech molecular biology lab that summer.
Shedding the light on mixoplankton
In aquatic ecosystems, microscopic organisms like phytoplankton and mixoplankton form the backbone of the food web. Ecology major Michael Rose ’25 spent his summer investigating these organisms through a research collaboration with professors Sophie Charvet and Jack Holt, focusing on isolating and cultivating key mixoplankton from local water bodies.
Susquehanna awarded $3 million climate change research grant
Susquehanna is one of several recipients of a $3 million National Science Foundation grant that will leverage an existing study into the adaptation abilities of the red-backed salamander to train the next generation of scientists to advance climate change research.
Climbing Temperatures Adversely Impact Brook Trout
Recent research from Susquehanna University’s Freshwater Research Institute finds that water temperatures affect certain behaviors in a cold-water predator, especially when in the presence of one that prefers warmer waters.
