Congratulations to the newest @FloridaState faculty members to be named to the Academy of Science, Engineering & Medicine of Florida! 🌟 Their work is helping Floridians by tackling complex problems across science, health and technology. #FSUResearch

"It's the landfalling hurricanes that matter, not the number of hurricanes per season, in terms of human impacts." A recent @washingtonpost article quotes Mark Bourassa (@FSU_EOAS and @FSUCOAPS), who discusses hurricane-related risks amid federal weather forecasters predicting a slower season.

"Our goal is to revolutionize the drug discovery pipeline,” says Xiangpeng Li. “If we don’t do anything, antibiotic resistance will be a huge problem for the human race.” Find Li's research profile at expertnet.org. #antibioticresistance

FSU College of Social Work Assistant Professor Dr. Katy (Qiuchang) Cao and FSU Claude Pepper Center Director Dr. Dawn Carr authored a peer-reviewed research paper: Occupational autonomy and cognitive function: the moderating role of educational attainment. fla.st/CELSQ0MS

The next breakthrough antibiotic could come from the soil beneath our feet. Researchers at @FloridaState and the @NationalMagLab are investigating soil from around the world to find microbes that can help fight drug-resistant bacteria. news.fsu.edu/news/science-t…

Congratulations to Kristina Håkansson, who was recently named a fellow of the American Society of Mass Spectrometry! To learn more about her research, which is conducted through @ChemistryFsu and @NationalMagLab, visit chem.fsu.edu. @FSUResearch @asmsnews

We’re excited to welcome Fernando Hernandez, who leads U.S. sales and business development for the Inspiralia Group, as a speaker at the two-day Funding Innovation Workshop on June 9–10 at IGNITE Tallahassee. RSVP at: luma.com/1agnhsj2

.@FloridaState in @physorg_com ▶️ A research team from @ChemistryFsu — including Zackary Firestone (slide two) and Joel Smith (slide three) — have synthesized two never-before-seen molecules from bacteria found in a Pacific Ocean sea sponge.

FSU Political Science Professor Ryan Owens, Ph.D., and Director of the Institute for Governance and Civics, explains how interactive civics education can reconnect younger Americans with Memorial Day: news.fsu.edu/news/expert-pi… @FSUResearch @fsuigc @FSUPoliSci

New funding momentum is here with SBIR/STTR reauthorization. Join IGNITE and @InspiraliaGroup for a two-day workshop to level up your strategy and move faster in a competitive field. RSVP: luma.com/1agnhsj2

Did you know that roughly half of FDA-approved drugs are derived from natural products, or molecules found in living organisms such as plants, fungi and even poisonous frogs? By synthesizing never-before-seen arrangements of these molecules, @FloridaState chemists like Zackary Firestone (left) and Joel Smith (right) play a foundational role in the creation of potentially life-saving medicines.

Hurricane winds can topple communities. @FAMUFSUCOE Assistant Professor Pedro Fernández-Cabán is improving the engineering that protects structures from destructive storms. Read more from @ASCETweets ➡️ asce.org/publications-a…

We’re excited to welcome Berta Okenve, Head of NIH Projects at Inspiralia, as a featured speaker at the two-day Funding Innovation Workshop on June 9–10 at IGNITE Tallahassee. RSVP at: luma.com/1agnhsj2

Rafe Blaufarb, @FloridaState's resident expert on all things Napoleon, was recently interviewed by Analyzing American Revolution to discuss why France chose to support U.S. independence from England. Blaufarb is a professor in @History_FSU as well as the director and Ben Weider Eminent Scholar in Napoleonic Studies. To watch the full interview, visit: bit.ly/4udA0Di. @FSUResearch

Research by @FSU_EOAS' Mariana Fuentes has informed a new educational campaign called Boaters for Turtles, designed to reduce the number of sea turtles injured by boats. Full article by @weartv: bit.ly/4uFaGpm. @FSUResearch @FSUartssciences @FloridaState

.@FloridaState faculty are world leaders in the study of hurricanes and efforts to mitigate their impact. Faculty are available to answer questions and provide perspective for news stories throughout hurricane season and beyond. news.fsu.edu/news/expert-pi…

Where do alligators go during a drought? 🐊 @NPR and @WFSUNews recently interviewed Ming Ye (@FSU_EOAS / @FSUSciComp) for an expert's opinion on the current drought across the U.S. South, particularly in north Florida. To check out the full article, visit: bit.ly/42SJebW. @FloridaState @FSUResearch

The @UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (@UNDRR) recently highlighted new research by a team of @FloridaState scientists — including lead author and recent @FSU_EOAS alumnus Michael Secor (slide one) and his doctoral mentor and Professor of Meteorology Ming Cai (slide two). The researchers discovered how to more accurately predict winter weather forecasts months in advance, affording sectors such as agriculture, water management, energy use and public health a longer lead time to prepare for inclement conditions.
