Forget sending bull semen out for complicated laboratory tests to learn whether the agricultural animal is virile. Cornell scientists have developed a faster, easier microfluidics method.

Specialists at Cornell University and New York Sea Grant (NYSG) have established a program of stewards who are being trained to help their communities mitigate the causes of, and adapt to become more resilient to climate change. “Climate change...

Cornell received the grant to continue efforts to monitor and research the lower part of the food web, particularly zooplankton like Mysis and benthic invertebrates.

A Cornell-designed probe shows how water vapor penetrates powders and grains – a finding that could have wide-ranging applications in pharmaceutical research, agriculture and food processing, and planetary exploration.

Students are now taking classes the Discovery Kitchen, a state-of-the-art teaching space built into the ground floor of Toni Morrison Hall on North Campus.

The Cornell University Dairy Science Club (CUDS) held their 2022 Dairy Open House and Spring Classic Sale on March 18-19, after a three-year pause due to COVID-19. This was the first entirely student run event in years. Here, animal science major and CUDS co-sale chair, Isabel Hall ’23, reflects on the sale’s success and excitement for the next sale year.

Plant pathology and plant-microbe biology doctoral candidate Juliana González-Tobón won the the People’s Choice Award and $250 at the seventh annual Cornell University Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition.

PhD candidate Martin Liu is interested in how hemp might function as a food source, and particularly, as a source of protein.

With this CAREER award, Meredith A. Holgerson, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, is studying how the strength of benthic-pelagic coupling influences ecosystem function in temperate ponds.

For the first time since the Lab of Ornithology installed a live camera on the nest in 2012, Big Red, the female red-tailed hawk, has produced a fourth egg during breeding season.

This fact sheet was published in PRO-DAIRY e-Leader, a monthly e-Leader newsletter distributed to an email list of nearly 7,000 dairy producers, agriservice and legislators. Significant focus is on the cost and availability of key inputs for...

A Cornell collaboration crossing medicine, law, technology and communication is aiming to encourage the use of health care benefits by refugees in the U.S. – who often suffer poor health but are using these entitlements less than they have in the past.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, in partnership with Cornell, is announcing a chance for Hudson riverfront communities to host the university’s Department of Landscape Architecture’s Climate-Adaptive Design Studio in...
