WHAM-TV talks to Karin Wuertz-Kozak, professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, about her research on disc degeneration.

Popular Science talks to Jeyhan Kartaltepe, associate professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy, about early galaxies detected by the James Webb Space Telescope.

Scientists uncovered what they believe to be the first astronomical map. The discovery, outlined in recent studies published in the Journal for the History of Astronomy and the Classical Quarterly, was made in part thanks to multispectral imaging conducted by researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology’s Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science.

WROC-TV talks to Eric Hittinger, associate professor of public policy, about a hypothetical ban on gas stoves.

Wired talks to Jeyhan Kartaltepe, associate professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy, about early galaxies detected by the James Webb Space Telescope.

Caroline DeLong, professor and undergraduate program director of psychology, and a team of researchers at RIT and Carnegie Mellon University are exploring the idea of engaging children with STEM skills through the lens of interacting with animals. They are working with a group of olive baboons at Rochester’s Seneca Park Zoo.

Spectrum News talks to Ali Tosyali and Gijs Overgoor, assistant professors in the Department of MIS, Marketing, and Analytics, about their research into fake product reviews on Amazon.

New data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed that the structures of galaxies in the early universe were much more diverse and mature than previously known. RIT Associate Professor Jeyhan Kartaltepe said that JWST’s ability to see faint high redshift galaxies in sharper detail than Hubble allowed the team of researchers to resolve more features and see a wide mix of galaxies.

Diversity in Action features Jade Myers, research development specialist in RIT's AMPrint Center (page 34).

Ensuring that patients take medications as prescribed can be crucial for maintaining and improving their health, so doctors, pharmacists, insurers, and public health officials all have an interest in better predicting whether patients will or will not follow medication guidelines.

The NSF awarded RIT more than $588,000 over the next five years to further implement and assess a course-based undergraduate research experience based on the Biochemistry Authentic Science Inquiry Laboratory (BASIL) project led by RIT.

RIT will receive $2 million from the U.S. Department of Commerce to update and expand its Semiconductor Fabrication Lab to accommodate research in semiconductor technologies and prepare the workforce for the growing domestic microelectronics manufacturing industry. The funding was included as part of the fiscal year 2023 omnibus funding package.
