When one friend admits they are “into” the other but the feeling isn't mutual, the relationship can indeed be in jeopardy. Friendships often dissolve under these circumstances, but not always, says Heidi Reeder, associate professor of communication at Boise State University.
We live in a materials world. Everyday objects are made of materials designed to have specific properties and perform in certain ways. Boise State University professor Amy Moll is an expert on the science behind stuff, and is available to share the secrets of how, for example, materials science and engineering have made your smart phone possible.
Vaccines have had a profoundly positive impact on human health, but the practice of vaccination also has its detractors. Boise State University biologist Juliette Tinker can discuss the causes of the current loss of confidence in vaccine safety, and the impacts this loss has had on the incidence of disease.
A new grant awarded by the National Science Foundation to a Boise State University civil engineering researcher aims to minimize soil liquefaction.
Most people believe that mathematics is numbers, symbols and notations. Dr. Jonathan Brendefur, professor of mathematics education at Boise State University, explains that mathematics is also about spatial reasoning – the ability to visually manipulate stimuli, to break apart and put together 2-D and 3-D shapes, to take these ideas and twist and turn them or to not be confused when an object’s orientation changes.
Immigration is a super-charged, emotional issue that is not going away. Dr. Greg Hill, professor and chair in the Department of Public Policy and Administration at Boise State University, can discuss what immigration policy is and its place in the American political landscape.

A Boise State University study has shed new light on how proteins interact, or bind, with one another in tissues. Boise State biologists found that a protein called collagen XI interacts with specific proteins in the part of the tissue that provides structural support to the cell.
Two studies by Boise State University geoscientists provide new information about how snowmelt is stored and used in mountain environments.
Boise State University engineering researchers have developed and tested a miniature plasma source for a micro-propulsion system that could help move small satellites and enable them to maintain a position while in orbit.
Members of Boise State University’s intrepid student club Greenspeed are now the proud builders of the world’s fastest vehicle that runs on vegetable oil.
A Boise State University study has shed new light on how a shallow seaway that once extended across the central part of North America circulated during one of earth’s warmest periods, about 82 to 87 million years ago.
