Formosan subterranean termites, a non-native species, continue to be on the radar of pest management professionals in Southern California following confirmation of two more infestations – confirmed by Dr. Chow-Yang Lee and researchers from his lab at UCR's Department of Entomology.
More than 25 million Americans don't drink water that meets federal health standards according to a study conducted by The Guardian. Native American households are 19 times more likely to lack indoor plumbing. Kurt Schwabe, professor of public policy, is interviewed about the push to help improve access to clean water for all Americans.
Senior Associate Dean of Research at UCR's School of Medicine, David Lo, comments on the need for clinicians need to learn how to diagnose and manage cannabis allergies.
Though Palm Springs does have a windy season, William Porter, assistant professor of atmospheric dynamics and modeling, hasn't seen a trend over the past 10 years toward increasingly big windstorms.
The Daily Californian interviews Laura McGeehan, director of academic preparation, recruitment and outreach with UCR's Graduate Division regarding the program that will allow more Latine students to conduct environmental research at UCR.
As new coronavirus variants arise, they may be steadily improving their ability to resist interferons, our bodies' immune defense system. However, UCR Virologist Juliet Morrison explains that there's likely a ceiling to how interferon-resistant the coronavirus can become.
Mark Hoddle, director of UCR’s Center of Invasive Species Research, says a certain beetle has been ruinous to the Cleveland National Forest northeast of San Diego, where dead trees increased the risk of fire, limbs dropping and resulted in the closure of hiking trails and campsites.
Research from UC Riverside psychologist Megan Robbins has established a strong correlation between the frequent use of pronouns like ‘we” and “us” and the quality of romantic relationships.
“After an impressive start to the year, in which the state added jobs at a rate 20% higher than the rest of the nation, we shouldn’t overinterpret a slowdown in one month,” Taner Osman, research manager at the UCR Center for Economic Forecasting, said in an analysis of employment data released last week.
Kurt Schwabe, professor of environmental economics, says using the most current climate data isn't always the first choice of policymakers and state and federal agencies, because it doesn't look as good for their constituents.
Mathematical biologist Qixuan Wang co-authored a study linking a single protein to the growth – and death – of hair follicles. The work could potentially help speed wound healing or help regrow lost hair.
Karthick Ramarkrishnan, dean of the UC Riverside School of Public Policy, said the major political parties and candidates are still waking up to the potential of the Asian American electorate.
Astrophysicist Stephen Kane and his graduate student Zhexing Li conducted a study to learn why Jupiter's rings are so faint and if the gas giant once had thicker rings and somehow lost them.
Mathematician Qixuan Wang helped identify a single protein that seems to control when hair follicles die. Armed with this new information, it might eventually be possible to reverse the process and stimulate hair regrowth.
“Little Miss Stinky,” the rare corpse flower on display at the UC Riverside Botanic Gardens, has bloomed. The endangered tropical flower blooms only once every seven to nine years, sometimes as long as a decade.
A study from the laboratory of Katayoon Dehesh, distinguished professor of molecular biochemistry, shows how plants produce salicylic acid to help them withstand stress. The acid is essentially aspirin, and increasing plants' ability to produce it could help ensure continued food supply as the climate changes.
Astrophysicist Stephen Kane and his doctoral student Zhexing Li determined that Jupiter's gigantic Galilean moons prevent ice from forming big, bright rings.
Molecular biologists Katayoon Dehesh, Jin-Zheng Wang, and Wilhelmina van de Ven studied the stress response in plants and could use their findings to boost crop response to adversity.
