CTE Explained in 2 Minutes: The Science Behind Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Boston University 2024-10-17 | Boston University is at the forefront of groundbreaking research on Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a progressive neurodegenerative disease linked to repetitive head trauma. BU's researchers have diagnosed CTE in professional athletes, including football Hall of Famers, European soccer stars, and even military veterans, shedding light on how contact sports, even at the amateur level, can lead to long-term brain injuries.In this video, as part of The Brink's special CTE series and BU's "Terriers Explain Stuff" series, BU College of Communication student Natalie Lett (COM’27) explores the science behind CTE. She interviews Michael L. Alosco, a leading researcher and associate professor of neurology at BU's Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, to dive into what the university’s experts have learned—such as how CTE develops, how it’s diagnosed, and its widespread impact on athletes and veterans alike.

Boston Universitys Charles River Campus from Sunrise to Sunset Boston University 2024-10-10 | Life on an urban college campus—in the heart of a major city—is anything but uneventful. From the moment the sun rises (and often before), an endless parade of traffic moves up and down Comm Ave accompanied by the sound of MBTA Green Line trolleys rumbling through campus. There’s the normal sprint to classes, labs, and offices, the racing from one end of campus to the other throughout the day—then it’s over before you know it. In our mad dash to get from place to place, we rarely consider what a typical day on BU’s Charles River Campus looks like. Producer Bill Politis set out with his camera to capture the rhythms and vibes of an early fall day as it unfolds from sunrise to sunset, talking to some of the people who keep it all running like clockwork. Take a look. We think you’ll agree, the campus has never looked lovelier.
Former Student Athlete at Boston University Takes on Role as Athletic Trainer Boston University 2024-10-08 | Since August 2023, Pietra Sweeney (Sargent’19,’21) has been an athletic trainer with Boston University Student Health Services. In addition to varsity, club, and student athletes, Sweeney works with ROTC students. Sweeney’s relationship with SHS started earlier than her time on staff—she was previously on the women’s soccer team, and loved the experience she had as a patient.Subscribe to our channel by clicking the button above!

How Math and Engineering Changed This Student’s Life: A Personal Story Boston University 2024-09-19 | When most people think of robots, what comes to mind is probably something with a hard shell, likely made of metal or plastic—and maybe shaped like a human. But when Boston University mechanical engineering major Sarah Alizadeh-Shabdiz thinks of robots, she pictures a bendy, wiggly piece of rubber. Purple rubber. That’s because Alizadeh-Shabdiz (ENG’26) spent her summer doing research in BU’s Soft Robotics Control Lab.Soft robots are just that: robots—or parts of robots—made from bendable, pliable materials, such as silicone rubber. Designers of soft robots often take inspiration from nature, looking at animals with naturally flexible limbs, like octopuses. The potential applications of their work are wide-ranging, from assisting with surgeries to engaging in search and rescue missions in difficult-to-squeeze-into places. In the Soft Robotics Control Lab, principal investigator Andrew Sabelhaus, a College of Engineering assistant professor of mechanical engineering, and his students are studying novel ways to improve how soft robots are controlled, as well as the fundamental physics underlying how they interact with the environment.“Soft robots are understood in the scientific community to be inherently safer,” says Alizadeh-Shabdiz. This makes sense, intuitively: a robot arm made of soft rubber seems less likely to crush something than one made of hard plastic or metal. But it turns out that very little research has been done on exactly how much safer soft robots might be. Among Alizadeh-Shabdiz’s summer research projects was an experiment, funded by a grant from the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, designed to measure the force one of the lab’s soft robot limbs can exert on an object.In the video above, find out why Alizadeh-Shabdiz needed the help of Toys“R”Us to complete her study and how her love of mathematics inspires her research—and her goal of becoming a teacher.
