Frank Müller-Karger selected as Fellow of The Oceanography Society
2024-02-06
(Press-News.org) The Oceanography Society (TOS) congratulates Frank Müller-Karger on his selection as a Fellow. The citation recognizes him for extraordinary contributions and leadership in furthering our understanding of Earth and, in particular, the ocean, through the use of remote sensing and field work.

Frank Müller-Karger’s work encompasses a broad range of satellite observations and field time series in biological oceanography in open ocean, coastal, and benthic ecology applications. His research has laid the groundwork for the use of multi- and hyperspectral observations collected from space and airborne platforms to address fundamental questions about the role of ocean life on Earth’s biogeochemical cycling and the interplay between physical and biological systems, from the coast to the ocean interior, from the surface to the bottom.

Dr. Müller-Karger is a Distinguished University Professor at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science, where he directs the Institute for Marine Remote Sensing (IMaRS). He earned his Ph.D. in Marine and Estuarine Sciences from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental and Estuarine Studies (UMCEES), College Park, Maryland, working at the Center’s Horn Point Environmental Laboratories in Cambridge, Maryland. In addition to a Master of Science degree in Oceanography from the University of Alaska in 1979, he earned a Master of Science in Management from the University of South Florida College of Business Administration.

Dr. Müller-Karger’s achievements will be celebrated during The Oceanography Society’s Honors Breakfast taking place on February 21, 2024, during the Ocean Sciences Meeting.

WVU researcher determines ADHD gives entrepreneurs an edge
2024-02-06
The brains of people with ADHD function in ways that can benefit them as entrepreneurs, according to research from the West Virginia University John Chambers College of Business and Economics. Associate Professor Nancy McIntyre said her paper in the International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behavior and Research broadens the scope, in an entrepreneurial context, from “if ADHD functions” to “how ADHD functions.” The paper is based on a study demonstrating an entrepreneur with ADHD is able to use routines, patterns and habits like a big net ...

Trust in doctors, not public officials, boosts COVID-19 vaccination

2024-02-06
“Trust me, I’m a doctor.”   While this expression has become an advertising slogan and meme, physicians and nurses continually rank among the most trusted professions in the U.S.   Now, a new study by researchers at the NYU School of Global Public Health shows that how Americans view the medical profession shapes whether they are likely to get vaccinated against COVID-19.   Among people who were hesitant or initially didn’t want a COVID-19 vaccine, those who trust the medical profession were more likely to ultimately get vaccinated. In ...

Household food waste reduced through whole-family food literacy interventionHousehold food waste reduced through whole-family food literacy intervention
2024-02-06
Philadelphia, February 6, 2024 – Food waste is a global issue, with the estimated value of wasted food totaling $230 billion CAD in 2023. In Canada, estimates suggest half of the food wasted occurs at the household level, which roughly equals $1,000 CAD per family per year. A recent research brief in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, published by Elsevier, demonstrated the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of a family-based food literacy program that promotes meal preparation and food waste reduction. Lead study author Amar Laila, PhD, Department of Family Relations and Applied Nutrition, ...

How ovarian tissue freezing could prevent menopause—possibly forever

2024-02-06
Most women agree that menopause has its advantages and disadvantages. Some relish the end of menstruation and concerns about unplanned pregnancies, while others dread the possibililty of hot flashes, moodiness, and other unpleasant symptoms. What some women consider a brief and barely noticeable phase in their lives can evolve into lasting changes and discomfort for others. Now, a new paradigm around the biological processes of menopause is capturing the attention of a small group of scientists around the country. The primary question: can menopause be delayed in healthy women, allowing them to extend their child-bearing years—and perhaps ...

Chemists decipher reaction process that could improve lithium-sulfur batteries

2024-02-06
Key takeaways Lithium-sulfur batteries have the potential to transform energy storage, with exceptional theoretical capacity and performance in combination with an element in abundant supply. But the intricate reaction mechanism, particularly during discharge, has been challenging to solve. UCLA researchers have identified the key pathways to a complex sulfur reduction reaction that leads to energy loss and reduced battery life span.   The study’s findings establish the whole reaction network for the first ...

EL PASO, Texas (Feb. 6, 2024) – A group of researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso are behind an emerging lithium extraction technology that won the inaugural Hill Prize from the Texas Academies of Medicine, Engineering, Science and Technology (TAMEST) on Monday. The $500,000 in prize funds will support a joint research effort by Alma Energy and UTEP to extract lithium from hydrothermal waters. “If this technology succeeds, it would be a really massive breakthrough in environmentally-friendly lithium extraction,” said Benjamin Brunner, Ph.D., the co-inventor of the technology ...

Complex tree canopies help forests recover from moderate-severity disturbances

Complex tree canopies help forests recover from moderate-severity disturbances
2024-02-06
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Extreme events wipe out entire forests, dramatically eliminating complex ecosystems as well as local communities. Researchers have become quite familiar with such attention-grabbing events over the years. They know less, however, about the more common moderate-severity disturbances, such as relatively small fires, ice storms, and outbreaks of pests or pathogens.  “Since they’re more common, they’re probably playing a larger role in the ecosystem than we might have appreciated before,” said Brady Hardiman, associate professor of forestry and natural resources and environmental ...

Flu virus variants resistant to new antiviral drug candidate lose pathogenicity, study finds
2024-02-06
ATLANTA — Influenza A viruses with induced resistance to a new candidate antiviral drug were found to be impaired in cell culture and weakened in animals, according to a study by researchers in the Center for Translational Antiviral Research at Georgia State University. In a study published in PLoS Pathogens, the authors explored the developmental potential of 4’-fluorouridine (4’-FlU), a clinical drug candidate, for influenza therapy. They resistance profiled the compound against influenza viruses and mapped possible routes of viral escape, addressing specifically ...
