A national survey of nurse practitioner (NP) training program educators reveals that a large majority of responders believe graduates’ level of oral health training and competence is at a high level, and therefore NPs are vital and integral to oral health care practices.
Stony Brook University Associate Professor Heather J. Lynch is a recipient of a Microsoft/National Geographic AI for Earth Innovation Grant, devised to advance the uses of artificial intelligence in scientific exploration and research on critical environmental challenges.
Kenneth Kaushansky, MD, MACP, Senior Vice President of the Health Sciences and Dean of the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, has been elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI).
Inhabiting a vast network of estuaries along the Atlantic coast, blue crabs are ecologically important and represent one of the valuable and prized fisheries in the United States. Blue crabs spawn in estuaries at a time of year when water-quality issues such as low dissolved oxygen (hypoxia) and low pH (acidification) can be the most persistent and severe. A group from the lab of Christopher Gobler, a professor in the School of Marine Science (SoMAS) at Stony Brook University, investigated the effects of these individual and combined stressors on early life stages of the blue crab. Their study, recently published in PLoS One, provides evidence that larval blue crabs experience increased mortality when exposed to low oxygen and/or low pH conditions at levels routinely found in degraded estuaries.
In a first-of-a-kind study published Nature Ecology & Evolution, scientists provide evidence that implementing the peace accords in Colombia coincided with a spike of fires and deforestation in protected areas.
A new study to be published online in the journal Sleep Health reveals that late-night social media use by NBA players is linked to poorer next-day performance on the court. The study examines more than 37,000 tweets and builds on preliminary research from 2017 about late-night tweets.
A study of the seismic structure beneath the Mariana Trench by a team of researchers from Stony Brook University and Washington University indicates that about three or four times more water is dragged deep into the earth’s interior than previously thought.
Stony Brook University Anthropology Professor James Rossie and the late Andrew Hill, an anthropology professor at Yale University, were just starting their 2004 field season in the Tugen Hills, Kenya when Rossie plucked a tooth out of the sediment. Now, a study authored by the pair shows that this belongs to a new species of ape — the smallest ever yet described, weighing just under 3.5 kilograms — from 12.5 million year old sites in the Tugen Hills, giving important clues about the unexplained decline in diversity of apes during the Miocene epoch. The paper, entitled “A new species of Simiolus from the middle Miocene of the Tugen Hills, Kenya,” is scheduled to published in the December issue of The Journal of Human Evolution.
In a study of pregnancy-associated deaths of women from 2007 to 2016, researchers found that mortality involving opioids either during pregnancy or up to one year post-pregnancy more than doubled during that time.
In the search for more secure communications technologies designed to prevent hacking, a team of Stony Brook University researchers created a technology that uses quantum memory applications at room temperatures to securely store and transfer information.
A Stony Brook University study published in PNAS, could help scientists to better determine how temperature changes affect genes in various cell types, The research may also help scientists to control genes when seeking answers to diseases caused by or associated with certain genes.
What if an algorithm could scan social media and point to linguistic red flags for depression before a formal medical diagnosis had been made? New research published to be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows this is now more plausible than ever.
Marshall Loeb, an editor, columnist and TV commentator who built a lasting legacy at Time, Fortune and Money magazines and was widely seen as the founder of modern business journalism, was well known for his innovative editorial leadership during a career that spanned more than half a century.
Stony Brook University researchers are trying to determine key links between economic development, technology, politics and human decision making in the context of climate change. Their research published in two peer-reviewed journals helps shed light on the complex topic.
Antibiotic resistance is an urgent problem globally when treating many infections. Now a team of scientists believe a better understanding of the mechanisms of pili, the hair-like surface appendages on bacteria that initiate infection, could hold a key to developing new and more effective therapeutics.
After Superstorm Sandy, the need to better understand stormwater flood risks and improve infrastructure in the metro area of New York City (NYC) became a priority. A new study is now assessing stormwater flood risks in New York City by way of developing unique modeling and risk assessment tools.
Liliana M. Dávalos, PhD, a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at Stony Brook University received an NSF 'Understanding the Rules of Life' award and in a longevity study is analyzing the genomes of bats, small mammals with disproportionately long lives given their body size.
