Halide nanocrystal array emitting light
A rendering of a halide nanocrystal array emitting light. Researchers developed a technique to "grow" halide perovskite nanocrystals -- delicate materials with superior optoelectronic properties -- with precise control over the location and size of each individual crystal. The method allows the ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

Mixotrophs, single-celled microbes
These single-celled microbes (Paramecium bursaria) called mixotrophs can photosynthesize like a plant or hunt food like an animal. During photosynthesis, they soak up carbon dioxide, a heat-trapping greenhouse gas, and when they eat, they release CO2. Mixotrophs include most of the world’s ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

Insect-inspired RoboFly
The RoboFly is an insect-inspired bugbot weighing just 150 milligrams with a breakthrough flight control and wind sensing system that uses accelerometers. Accelerometers measure the airspeed of a flying object by sensing drag-induced acceleration. The idea was inspired by observations that flies ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.

Distinguished Lecture: A New Framework for Causal Inference in the Health and Social Sciences
In this talk Professor Williamson will provide an introduction to Evidential Pluralism, a new approach to causal inference that has emerged from recent philosophical research on mechanisms in science. According to Evidential Pluralism, in order to establish that A is a cause of B one needs to establish both that A is correlated with B (conditional on potential confounders) and that there is a mechanism from A to B that can account for that correlation; so, in order to assess whether A is a cause of B one needs to scrutinise mechanistic studies alongside studies that measure the extent to which A and B are correlated. Evide...

National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Coordinating Committee - September 2023
The National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) was initiated in 1989 to address the growing national health problem of asthma, which remains a significant problem today. According to the latest data, nearly 25 million people in the United States, including more than 6 million children, have asthma. The National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Coordinating Committee (NAEPPCC) provides a venue for convening diverse stakeholders with an interest in improving asthma management in the context of current standards of care.
The goals of the NAEPPCC are to:
Raise awareness among patients, health profession...
