Cornell Chronicle is reporting that seven research teams have received grants to advance early-stage life science technologies through new partnerships with New York state-based companies. It said this initiative supports biotechnology collaborations.
The Chronicle also reported on new research showing how infection and diet reshape intestines differently. It said infectious damage causes cell loss and triggers stem cells to create new cells, while dietary changes cause existing cells to alter in size.
Another study highlighted by the Chronicle casts doubt on the effectiveness of a carbon-removal method. It said the real-world potential of spreading basalt on farmland to remove carbon may be smaller than many current estimates.
Regarding the artificial intelligence market, the Chronicle noted that while there isn't a full AI bubble, some individual AI companies exhibit price variability and exuberance characteristic of one.
Cornell Chronicle also highlighted external media coverage, noting that USA Today is reporting that Ileen DeVault of Cornell's ILR School discussed the empowering legacy of Dolly Parton's "9 to 5," which helped elevate a grassroots campaign against workplace sexism into a national conversation. Separately, Fast Company is reporting that Jefferson Tester of Cornell's Duffield Engineering commented on the geothermal industry's requirements for success, citing Fervo's rapid and sustained power production as aspirational.
