Yale University is marking its 325th anniversary this year with exhibitions, lectures, and a community gathering on Cross Campus, the university has announced.
In October of 1701, Connecticut's governor and representatives assembled in New Haven to pass "An Act for Liberty to Erect a Collegiate School," the university said.
October is the best time to get an annual flu shot, said Yale infectious disease specialist Scott Roberts. In a Q&A, he discussed the importance of vaccination, who needs it most, and what sets the newly approved mRNA vaccine apart in the fight against influenza.
The Yale School of Nursing has launched two new direct-entry degree programs. The expansion of YSN's nursing education programs will help address a critical workforce need by preparing qualified nurses to enter the field faster.
"As the demand for nurses continues to grow, we must find thoughtful new ways to welcome talented people into the profession," said YSN Dean Azita Emami.
A new exhibition at the Yale Center for British Art, "The Landscape Reimagined," explores British artist John Constable's innovative open-air paintings, which radically transformed the trajectory of European landscape painting.
Yale astronomers report in a new study that roaming black holes may tell the hidden history of galaxies. If you want to understand the origins of black holes, you need to look beyond the centers of galaxies and start searching in the nooks and crannies, where the "wanderers" are found.
Yale architect Alan Organschi said mass timber, a more sustainable wood-based alternative to steel and concrete, could help reduce the construction industry's carbon footprint. Yale is already using the material.
A new podcast from Yale, "Beyond Blue," features debut guest Dean Megan Ranney of YSPH on the value of treating firearm injury as a public health problem. Episode one also covers aging, AI, and the water we drink.
Yale also hosted more than 300 greater New Haven public school students and their families to kick off their Yale Pathways to Science experience. Over the next few years, the students will follow their curiosity across hundreds of free, hands-on STEM opportunities coordinated by Pathways, learning alongside members of the Yale community.
