At just 0.5% of feed, grape pomace—the pulpy leftovers of winemaking—nearly matched a common poultry antibiotic, while fermented pomace increased intestinal villus surface area. @cornell phys.org/news/2026-05-w…

Only 10 more days until we celebrate #Cornell2026! And today, we’re hopping in the Big Red Time Machine again to check out photos from Cornell’s commencement exercises from days of old. To see more photos, please visit alumni.cornell.edu/cornellians/co….

How can tech drive community impact? Galiba Anjum ’26 @CornellCAS is using digital tools to expand access, build statewide resources, and support more resilient, connected communities. Read more: einhorn.cornell.edu/bringing-tech-…

Studying abroad gave graduating seniors Kevin Chang and Ana Hoffman Sole knowledge of new places, new skills and rich new communities. Now they’re looking ahead to career paths that build on what they learned. news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

Astronomers in @CornellCAS are deploying a new instrument that grants them, for the first time, a better view of the universe’s earliest galaxies, which can’t be observed individually with traditional ground- or space-based telescopes. “Instead of trying to isolate every tiny galaxy, it measures the combined glow from enormous numbers of galaxies all at once,” said Selina F. Yang, doctoral student in the field of physics. She compared the approach to observing a city’s lights from a great distance: “It is less like counting individual streetlights and more like measuring the overall brightness of an entire city from space.” More: news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

Our latest research featured in the @CornellNews! We show that grape pomace may help replace antibiotic growth promoters in poultry by improving gut health & reducing inflammation. Promising step toward more sustainable animal agriculture. news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0… @Cornell

Scientists at @Cornell are advancing Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease research by studying how neurons signal for repair and removal in the brain. Discoveries in molecular biology and neurodegeneration could help lead to future therapies. Read more: bit.ly/48Tn4tA

Entropy gets a bad rap. Typically associated with randomness and chaos, it can also correlate with freedom and diversity. @CornellEng researchers found that, thanks to the latter qualities, entropy can help bind certain pairs of molecules faster and more robustly – an approach that could have broad applications in drug development and allow scientists to assemble nanoparticles to form new materials.

Join us in wishing our Cornellians the best of luck on their final exams!

@cornellvet Congratulations!

The Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine hosted its annual White Coat Ceremony on Saturday, May 2nd. Congratulations to the Cornell Veterinary Medicine D.V.M. Class of 2027! This milestone celebrates your hard work and marks the beginning of an incredible journey! 🥼

@GratefulDead We can confirm we were there 💀⚡️🌹

For those “that were there,” were you really? 👀 The famous Cornell show “occurred” on this day in 1977. Known for its stellar renditions of “Scarlet Begonias,” “Morning Dew,” and “Fire on the Mountain,” this alleged show has been a Dead Head favorite for decades. Partly for its mystique, wholly for its epic jams. Photos by Larry Reichman

A reminder to go outside. The Cornell Botanic Gardens offers over 500 acres of peaceful gardens and trails right on campus, and science says nature helps us feel better, too.

If you’re a Deadhead, you already know what day it is. Happy May 8th to all who celebrate! youtube.com/watch?v=RMotfS…

Spring frost can threaten apple blossoms at their most vulnerable stage. Researchers like Jason Londo from @CornellAgriTech are researching climate adaptation tools to help growers respond to increasingly erratic spring weather — from resilient cultivars to frost protection strategies. @CornellCALS
