In recognition of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, held on February 11, we acknowledge the women faculty, students and alumnae of the OSU College of Science.

How are devastating plant diseases spread? Is there a better way to predict HIV prevalence in a city? How can we detect toxic algae blooms before they occur? And which of the thousands of metal-organic frameworks can be used for storing and separating gases, like CO2 from industrial plants? Four faculty members received College of Science Research and Innovation Seed (SciRIS-II) awards this February to pursue answers to these questions over the course of the next year.

Statistician Lisa Madsen and collaborators help estimate the total mortality of birds and bats at wind farms.

OSU scientists take an interdisciplinary approach to human health, working across the life, physical and mathematical sciences to spur fresh thinking and innovations.

The College of Science launches Innovation Days, a series of workshops for faculty to spur innovation and entrepreneurship.

The more people a city has and the more organized its residents’ movement patterns, the longer its flu season is apt to last.

New research shows that a big earthquake can not only cause other quakes, but large ones, and on the opposite side of the Earth.

Doctoral graduate Heather Kitada enjoys working in both statistics and the wider world of science communication, outreach and advocacy.

OSU statisticians were awarded a four-year $770K NIH grant to innovate statistical methods to study the human microbiome and its role in human health.

Science programs have guided the evolution of research and education at OSU since its 1868 land grant designation.

The College of Science is proud to have many significant milestones in the last 150 years.
