For Professor Rob Pringle’s 56 students, joining Zoom to find their professor lecturing from his basement would be a lot more surprising than seeing him discuss biodiversity while knee-deep in a lake. Students in EEB face the challenge of engaging in outdoor exploration during this online semester. But Pringle is bringing the outdoors to his…
These individuals have been elevated to this rank because of their efforts toward advancing science applications that are deemed scientifically or socially distinguished. Andrea Graham, a professor of EEB and the co-director of the Program in Global Health and Health Policy, is recognized in the biological sciences section for her distinguished…
In a paper published recently in Science, an international team of researchers led by Princeton graduate student Ciro Cabal sheds light on the underground life of plants. Their research used a combination of modeling and a greenhouse experiment to discover whether plants invest differently in root structures when planted alone versus when…
New research suggests that the impact of natural and vaccine-induced immunity will be key factors in shaping the future trajectory of the global coronavirus pandemic, known as COVID-19. In particular, a vaccine capable of eliciting a strong immune response could substantially reduce the future burden of infection, according to a study by…
Princeton’s vital research across the spectrum of environmental issues is today and will continue to be pivotal to solving some of humanity’s toughest problems. Our impact is built on a long, deep, broad legacy of personal commitment, intellectual leadership, perseverance and innovation. This article is part of a series to present the sweep of…
Why do some mosquitoes find us irresistible, preferring to bite human hosts and spread disease with those bites, while others would rather bite another animal? To answer that question, Princeton EEB researchers Lindy McBride and Noah Rose, in collaboration with a large international network of scientists, spent three years driving around sub…
To find food, dazzle mates, escape predators and navigate diverse terrain, birds rely on their excellent color vision. “Humans are color-blind compared to birds and many other animals,” said Mary Caswell Stoddard.
The Walbridge Fund is administered by PEI, and “provides research funding to Princeton University graduate students pursuing innovative research on climate science, energy solutions, environmental policy or, more broadly, on other environmental topics.”
Nicolas submitted a proposal to fund a research project on surveying smallholder…
However, in New Jersey they’ve developed a model that keeps their products and their customers local. As the pandemic’s effects on food systems unfold, local farms offer insights for creating a resilient food future.
