Nearly one in nine U.S. children has been diagnosed with ADHD. Cenextra, a new digital treatment developed at @FloridaState and licensed by Sky Therapeutics, is the first ADHD treatment to receive the @US_FDA Breakthrough Device Designation. Built on years of @NIH-supported research, Cenextra uses a patented series of mental exercises to strengthen executive functioning, expanding non-medication options for in children with ADHD. #FSUHealth | @IGNITEFSU Read more at news.fsu.edu/news/health-me…

On Friday, attendees of the Wakulla Springs Robot 3D Mapper Exposition had the opportunity to learn more about Sunfish, the autonomous robot helping @FloridaState researcher Ming Ye 3D map underwater caves in the Wakulla Springs basin! By mapping the basin — which provides drinking water to nearly 10 million people — Ye (@FSU_EOAS / @FSUSciComp) aims to better understand how our water is affected by the geological makeup of the caves it passes through. Ye, other hydrology experts, and the creators of Sunfish all spoke at the event, which also featured a live demonstration of Sunfish's mapping capabilities.

Florida’s future healthcare workforce is growing at Florida State University! With nearly half of FSU College of Medicine students remaining in Florida for residency training, these physicians continue to expand and strengthen healthcare across the state. FSU-sponsored residency programs rank among the most in-demand in Florida, according to a recent study by the Safety Net Hospital Alliance of Florida. #FSUHealth Learn more at fsuhealth.fsu.edu.

“In the ocean, water isotope measurements can track precipitation, evaporation, freshwater runoff from rivers and ice sheets, and ocean circulation patterns, which serve as powerful tracers of Earth’s modern water cycle." Alyssa Atwood, an associate professor in @FSU_EOAS, led the creation of a global database hosting thousands of seawater isotope measurements collected over almost 50 years that will aid scientists in generating more accurate climate reconstructions and predictions.

“Very few scientists are expert gamers, so livestreaming games is a way to make scientific discussion more accessible. It shows that, despite dedicating their lives to understanding a particular domain of science, scientists are also people that like to hang out and play video games.” @ChemistryFsu's Kenneth Hanson is the host of Ask a Scientist Gaming (@ScientistAsk), a livestream series where guests — ranging from engineers to philosophers — play games, discuss science, and answer questions from viewers in the chat. In slide two, @FSU_EOAS' Allison Wing and Hanson play MarioKart 64 while discussing hurricane season, weather on exoplanets, life at sea and more.

Since 1973, @FSUClassics and @FSUIP have led the excavations at Cetamura del Chianti — an archaeological site that has, uniquely, been home to ancient Etruscans, Romans, and Italians of the Middle Ages. Recently, @FSUClassics' Nancy de Grummond (top right) — who's served as the site's director since 1983 — was part of a research team that sequenced the DNA of 2,000-year-old grape seeds, mapping the most extensive genetic history of ancient grapevines recovered from a single archaeological site.
