With flooding and wildfires raging across the globe, the "Great Dying" was the worst mass extinction event in Earth's history. Researchers at UConn, University College Cork, and the Natural History Museum of Vienna have discovered how plant life bounced back from this crisis. ?? ?? The good news? Ecosystems eventually repaired themselves. ?? The not-so-good news? It took millions of years. "Earth can recover from devastating environmental tipping points, but that recovery may take periods of time beyond the range of human endurance or even existence,” says Christopher Fielding. https://lnkd.in/eW4aPq7Q

One of the (many) things I never guessed at before working at UConn is the amount of medical experiments that take place in (echoey voice) outer space. Here's a great example: the low-gravity environment aboard the International Space Station makes it an ideal setting for what could be a promising new way to fight cancer.

“For a long time, manual languages were banned in white schools. You weren’t allowed to teach deaf children how to sign. They would need to learn to speak or use oral language as well. But the rules were different in Black schools, where Black children had a space to learn sign language and practice signing because their education wasn’t given the same attention as white students.” With an undergraduate research fellowship from the University of Connecticut Humanities Institute, Kanny Salike ('26 CLAS) is tracing the co-evolution of African American English (AAE) and Black American Sign Language (BASL). https://lnkd.in/e_cVCvra
