Learning to Coexist - Kibale National Park | WashU Washington University in St. Louis 2023-05-09 | On the outskirts of Kibale National Park in western Uganda, a community-led effort is keeping wild animals at a safe distance from neighboring properties.

KATHARINA GROSSE: RETURNS, REVISIONS, INVENTIONS | Washington University Washington University in St. Louis 2022-12-14 | Acclaimed painter discusses Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum exhibition “Color can appear anywhere,” says Katharina Grosse. “It is independent from any location … Color gets to you like noise, a scent, or a taste.” One of Germany’s most celebrated contemporary artists, Grosse has won international acclaim for exploring and expanding the physical properties, material presence, optical effects and aesthetic potentials of color and paint. In this video, she explores the nature of color, the visceral reactions it prompts and its power override pictorial relationships and hierarchies. “Katharina Grosse Studio Paintings, 1988-2022: Returns, Revisions, Inventions” remains on view at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis, through Jan. 23, 2023. Though the artist widely known for her ambitious in situ works, this is the first major survey to investigate the important role large-scale canvases have played throughout her decades-long career. Following its run at the Kemper Art Museum, “Returns, Revisions, Inventions” will travel to Switzerland’s Kunstmuseum Bern in spring 2023, and to Germany’s Kunstmuseum Bonn in spring 2024. A bilingual scholarly volume, co-published with Hatje Cantz, serves both as a record of the exhibitions and a reference book on this under-studied aspect of Grosse’s remarkable career.

Squirrels and the city | Washington University Washington University in St. Louis 2022-08-16 | Elizabeth Carlen is a postdoctoral fellow with the Living Earth Collaborative at Washington University in St. Louis. She is studying how city life is changing the local populations of eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis). “St. Louis has a long history of racism that impacts where illegal dumping occurs, where pesticides were and are sprayed, where parks are taken care of, and where street trees are planted,” Carlen said. “All of these features influence the physical environment, and subsequently, the flora and fauna of that area.” Armed with notes from perusing Google Street View the night before, Carlen drives back alleys across St. Louis each day, looking for squirrels. She carefully ties down box traps baited with organic peanut butter and tosses in an extra handful of walnuts for good measure. When a squirrel is caught, Carlen quickly collects one snip of tail fur, a small piece of tissue from the ear, and any scat the squirrel has dropped — then releases the animal. Carlen is using DNA from these samples to investigate how squirrels are adapting to the urban environment within St. Louis city. With these data she is building a landscape genetic model that shows how squirrels in the region are related. Carlen is mapping out the geographic corridors that squirrels use to traverse the city and the barriers they encounter. But she’s also focused on the impacts of environmental racism and the ways that human choices — for example, illegal trash dumping, and the inequitable efforts to combat this problem — are creating selection pressures that have evolutionary repercussions. Ultimately, Carlen’s research will provide vital information on how to transform cities to better support both wildlife and humans. Her squirrel project is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). In addition to this work, Carlen is a co-founder and editor of the urban evolution blog, Life in the City: Evolution in an Urbanizing World.→Subscribe: http://bit.ly/WashUSubscribeAbout Washington University in St. Louis:Washington University is a leader in research, scholarship and patient care.

Our world by degrees - Into the Wild | Washington University Washington University in St. Louis 2022-06-20 | Missouri is home to one-half million acres of wetlands, including the backwaters of the mighty Mississippi River. Here, biologist Arpita Bose and her team collect wild microbes from wetlands soils. Back in her laboratory, Bose is interested in finding ways to replace petrochemicals using the power of microbes to make fuels. She has developed a microbial system that can generate a carbon-neutral fuel alternative. Now she is working to scale up her process with help from the Biotechnology and Life Sciences Advising Group. Bose wants more people to recognize the importance of wetlands and the microbes that help sustain them. Ecologist Frank Nelson from the Missouri Department of Conservation collects and shares wetlands soil samples with Bose and biologist Joshua Blodgett, who is looking for rare actinomycetes from Missouri soils. The scientists recognize that wetlands play a critical role in storing carbon and otherwise stabilizing environmental conditions for future generations. Our once-plentiful wetland ecosystems may yet offer new and undiscovered climate solutions.

Neon ice shows promise as a new qubit platform | Washington University Washington University in St. Louis 2022-05-04 | In a recent Nature paper, a team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory has announced the creation of a new qubit platform formed by freezing neon gas into a solid at very low temperatures, spraying electrons from a light bulb’s filament onto the solid and trapping a single electron there. This system shows great promise to be developed into ideal building blocks for future quantum computers.Kater Murch, professor of physics in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, is a senior co-author of the paper. He explains some of the science behind the discovery in this animation.Music credit: bensound.com→Subscribe: http://bit.ly/WashUSubscribeAbout Washington University in St. Louis:Washington University is a leader in research, scholarship and patient care.

Our world by degrees: Something’s up | Washington University Washington University in St. Louis 2022-02-15 | Aerosols are bits of solid matter suspended in air. They can absorb and reflect light, contributing to the warming and cooling of the atmosphere. And when they are below a certain size, particles known as PM2.5 can enter a person’s bloodstream and penetrate the lungs. Randall Martin and Rajan Chakrabarty at the McKelvey School of Engineering research fine particulate matter, which is the leading cause of environment-related diseases around the world. Martin, the Raymond R. Tucker Distinguished Professor, depends on data collected from above the clouds, on the edge of space. Using NASA satellite data, as well as data from a network of air-quality monitoring stations that span the globe, he uses computer modeling to better understand the composition and movement of aerosols around the planet. Chakrabarty, the Harold D. Jolley Career Development Associate Professor, conducts his research with both feet firmly planted on the ground. He chases wildfires, takes measurements from household cookstoves in developing countries and watches the chaotic motion of a few aerosols — or even just one — using high-tech instruments in his lab. But this is not a story of never the twain shall meet. On the contrary, the two research methods are intertwined, depending on each other in more ways than one. And their data meet to inform some of the most consequential aspects of our lives: They meet in the lung, where PM2.5 makes us more susceptible to infections such as COVID-19. They meet in the increasingly ferocious wildfires of Utah, California and New South Wales, which send brown carbon spewing across the globe. And they meet in an atmosphere altered by aerosols that absorb and radiate heat — destabilizing the climate, making extreme and deadly weather events more common while threatening our homes, our livelihoods and our health. Approaching the problem of aerosols from opposite ends of the atmospheric spectrum, the two engineers work to create a complete picture of the challenges and, ultimately, offer ideas for mitigation.→Subscribe: http://bit.ly/WashUSubscribeAbout Washington University in St. Louis:Washington University is a leader in research, scholarship and patient care.

An archival attraction | Washington University Washington University in St. Louis 2022-02-14 | The year is 1916, and at Washington University in St. Louis students are gearing up for Univee Surkus, a fair to raise money for the swimming pool fund. At this precursor to our modern-day Thurtene Carnival, student groups host booths that offer entertainment at a dime or 15 cents. Thyrsus Drama Club usually stages a play, but this year they're putting together a silent film for the event. The result is “The Maid of McMillan,” which combines comedy, love, heroics and, of course, a happy ending. Now, more than 100 years after the “two-reel thriller” was filmed, the university is restoring “The Maid of McMillan” to its original format and digitizing it with a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation. Audiences today may find the story as “utterly charming” as one co-ed did back in 1916, but the shots of campus, students and St. Louis from yesteryear are just as compelling. Check out the trailer and check back with https://library.wustl.edu/spec/themaidofmcmillan/ to find out where you can catch a screening.→Subscribe: http://bit.ly/WashUSubscribeAbout Washington University in St. Louis:Washington University is a leader in research, scholarship and patient care.
