Neukom Fellow '23 Sophie von Fromm led a study showing how soil carbon in a northern hardwood forest responds to environmental change over time and space. The research, published in the journal Global Change Biology, advances our understanding of how forests store and cycle carbon, a key process for climate regulation.
Neukom Director Dan Rockmore, "Competition this year was fierce, with a big uptick in proposals. We received 41 proposals with a total request of $1.4M. Of these, 14 projects received some combination of funding, ....for a total outlay of about $375k. It was a very difficult decision process, and I wish I could have funded many more."
"A one-size-fits-all strategy isn't going to work for everybody," Turek-Hankins said. "It doesn't matter how much money you give someone for their bill if the AC isn't working, of if you give them a brand-new AC unit but they can't afford to run it."
"This is not science writing—at least as we think of it today—but science storytelling, giving the reader not only information but also a strong sense of the bursts of intellectual and physical energy that animate discovery and creativity," Rockmore
Neukom Fellow Corey Lesk '22 and mentors Justin Mankin and Jonathan Winters call into question a longstanding view that plant responses to higher CO2 will let them use less water, leaving more to flow in streams.
"Scholars worry that, without interpretive guidance, consumers might unwittingly conflate genetic and genealogical ancestors. "You could be genetically related to someone 2,000 years ago through a distant Y chromosome or distant mitochondria, but that doesn't mean they're in your family,"
The seventh annual Neukom Award for Playwriting will consider full-length plays and other full-length works for the theater that address the question "What does it mean to be a human in a computerized world?"
Neukom Fellow '24 Sophie von Fromm published a study in the journal Biogeochemistry that sheds light on the complex relationships between soil organic carbon, moisture, and oxalate-extractable metals on a global scale.
