OSU SACNAS chapter measures sun’s atmosphere in nationwide eclipse project

During the April 8 solar eclipse, Oklahoma State University’s chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) ventured to Arkansas to measure the sun’s corona. As part of a Citizen Continental-America Telescope Eclipse project — or Citizen CATE — to capture the sun’s totality across the United States, Dr. Mario Borunda took a group of volunteers to Arkansas for their segment of the data collection.

Seeking an oasis: SMSC professor conducts important research on Oklahoma news deserts

Thu, Nov 09, 2023

Dr. Rosemary Avance, an assistant professor in the School of Media and Strategic Communications at Oklahoma State University, recently performed a groundbreaking study for the Oklahoma Media Center alongside University of Oklahoma professor Dr. Allyson Shortle. Avance and Shortle designed, implemented and executed a qualitative observational study on Oklahoma news deserts, or areas where residents have limited to no access to reliable local journalism. Their extensive research explored whether Oklahomans are receiving local news, which provides information necessary for residents to engage with and make informed decisions about their communities.

OSU integrative biology team explores link between war and disease outbreaks

Tue, Oct 17, 2023

Four current and former Oklahoma State University researchers recently published findings that show a critical connection between armed conflicts and disease outbreaks. Former OSU postdoctoral scholar Dr. Mekala Sundaram, postdoctoral fellow Dr. Antoine Filion, graduate student Benedicta Akaribo Essuon and Department of Integrative Biology assistant professor Patrick Stephens published “Footprint of war: integrating armed conflicts in disease ecology”, which delves into how armed conflicts — including riots, wars or terrorist attacks — extend beyond immediate suffering by influencing the dynamics of diseases.
