🥊💢 VIRUSES - 1 BACTERIA - 0 Research from Dennis D'Amico @UConnCAHNR has shown that bacteria-eating viruses can effectively kill harmful pathogens in milk and cheese, making food safer for everyone. today.uconn.edu/2025/02/virus-…

Drs. Se-Jin Lee and Emily Germain-Lee of @uconnhealth are leading the charge to develop new drugs that could help prevent muscle loss among patients taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. today.uconn.edu/2025/02/next-g…

No use crying over spoiled milk!🥛These researchers hope to eventually develop an at-home device that consumers can use to test their meat and dairy for bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella.

Learn how to make impact with your innovations by turning them into products that can create market value! The program & info session are open to students, faculty, researchers, @UConn alumni, and community members in the northeast region. 2/20 session: lu.ma/w24fg7nf

A new method discovered by Maria Gracia Gervasi of CAHNR's Department of Animal Science and her colleagues that makes IVF more effective in cattle could have a significant impact on the bovine industry in the U.S. and globally. today.uconn.edu/2025/02/new-tr… @UConnANSC @UConnResearch

Old-growth forests are some of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. Remote sensing works as a "time machine" to understand how these forests change -- and how these changes impact biodiversity. 🌎 @GERSLab today.uconn.edu/2025/02/uconn-…

"I’m very interested in the way literature, music, and film – all those things that may seem less serious than politics or unrelated to it – actually convey most of what people think they know about a given moment or given political period." @UCHI_UConn today.uconn.edu/2025/02/humani…

13 academic inventors from across UConn have been elected to the National @AcadofInventors, the highest professional distinction for the impact of their innovation. today.uconn.edu/2025/02/uconn-…

Working @smithsonian, @UConnCAHNR alum Carl Johnson '19 '21 has turned a lifelong love of plants into a career at some of the nation's most renowned gardens. 🏵️ today.uconn.edu/2025/02/growin…

Grateful for the support of the team at @ctchildrens / Connecticut Children’s Research Institute, as well as @UConnNeurosurg / @UConnResearch. This type of work doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and interdisciplinary collaboration has been critical. #Neurosurgery #TBI @FUSFoundation

By focusing on downwind patterns, @UConnCAHNR researcher Shinsuke Tanaka gained deeper insight into the relationship between long-term air pollution from power plants and COVID-19 mortality. bit.ly/3CD54Xs

Pesticide called ‘new DDT’ has been found in CT waterways. buff.ly/4hIdCLz The @UConn study shows that neonicotinoid insecticides, commonly known as #neonics, are finding their way into streams & rivers from turf grass & agricultural uses.
