WSU’s College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences joined community members in celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, sharing Cougar pride and Washington-grown Cosmic Crisp® apples while highlighting WSU’s connections to agriculture and communities across the state.
WSU astronomer Vivienne Baldassare will use early data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory to search for and potentially weigh intermediate-mass black holes, offering new insights into how the universe’s earliest massive black holes formed and evolved.
WSU researchers found that vineyard nutrient loss extends beyond grape harvest, with pruning and other management practices removing significant nutrients from vineyards. The findings could help growers improve fertilizer recommendations, nutrient management, and vineyard sustainability.
WSU tree fruit researcher Kate Evans has helped shape the success of the Cosmic Crisp® apple while advancing apple breeding and supporting women in science. Her work highlights the role of research, collaboration, and mentorship in strengthening Washington’s tree fruit industry.
The warming climate fosters hotter temperatures, more intense storms, larger wildfires, and longer droughts, among other extremes. But how much does human-caused climate change influence a specific event such as […]
Amanda Boyd was elected to the Washington State Academy of Sciences Board of Directors, while nine additional WSU researchers were elected as academy members in recognition of outstanding scientific and technical achievements spanning engineering, agriculture, business, medicine, and the natural sciences.
WSU researchers discovered a molecular “winter lock” that creates a seasonal version of the biological clock, helping animals remain in a winter state until conditions improve. Published in Science Advances, the findings could improve pest management and advance understanding of seasonal health conditions in humans.
A Washington State University pharmacy researcher transformed a simple question into a nationally recognized innovation. Kimberly McKeirnan’s pharmacy technician immunization training program has trained more than 170,000 technicians, expanded vaccine access, and generated more than $10 million in royalties while improving public health.
James Peters has been named chair of Washington State University’s Integrative Physiology and Neuroscience Department in the College of Veterinary Medicine. His leadership will strengthen neuroscience research, education, and collaboration across the university.
