A study from Stephen Courtright, professor of management and entrepreneurship in the Tippie College of Business, finds that employers need to stop giving dysfunctional managers a pass when they abuse their employees for the long-term health of the firm.

The University of Iowa is distributing the first $7.5 million of the investment revenue generated from the public-private partnership (P3) for its utility system.

Researchers led by the University of Iowa have observed the entire sequence in break-induced replication, a method by which organisms from viruses to humans repair breaks in DNA.

Colin Gordon, the F. Wendell Miller Professor of History at the University of Iowa, has received the nation's most prestigious award for humanities scholarship, a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Fellowship. Gordon's fellowship will support research for his upcoming monograph, tentatively titled Dividing the City: Race-Restrictive Covenants and the Architecture of Segregation. The...

It goes without saying that life has been difficult and stressful for all of us, especially over the past year.

A former University of Iowa postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Internal Medicine worked with the biomedical journal publisher Cell Press to create a list of 1,000 Black scientists who are leaders in their fields.

The U.S. space agency NASA announced this week it will extend the Juno mission to Jupiter and its moons through September 2025, or until the spacecraft’s end of life. Along for the ride has been a radio- and plasma-wave instrument designed and built at Iowa.

A small, new-generation satellite designed and built at the University of Iowa has re-entered Earth's atmosphere, after a successful mission to search for matter believed to be missing since the birth of the universe. The mini satellite, called HaloSat, was designed and built by a team led by Philip Kaaret, professor and chair in Department of Physics and Astronomy. HaloSat was the first...

A University of Iowa professor of civil and environmental engineering was honored with the Outstanding Contribution Award as part of the United States-Korea Conference: Sustainable Development & The Future.

In a new book, Green, Fair, and Prosperous: Paths to a Sustainable Iowa, Charles Connerly, director of the UI School of Planning and Public Affairs, provides a thoroughly researched history lesson on how Iowa got where it is and suggests decisions to make going forward.

Scott Baalrud, associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, offers insights into plans submitted to the U.S. Department of Energy to develop fusion energy, a virtually limitless, carbon-free energy source that has been elusive to create. Baalrud co-chaired a committee of physicists that outlined a 10-year vision for fusion energy and plasma physics research. The committee’s...

Yannick Meurice, professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has been awarded $2.3 million to continue studying the foundational aspects of quantum computing in theoretical high-energy physics. The grant follows a $1.3 million award Meurice obtained from the U.S. Department of Energy.

Allison Jaynes, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has won a CAREER award from the U.S. National Science Foundation. She receives $682,000 over five years to investigate an atmospheric phenomenon on Earth known as pulsating aurora.

A team of scientists has detected sudden bursts of cosmic rays around the Voyagers. The bursts, they report, are caused by shock waves emanating from solar eruptions that spew particles out at a million miles an hour. The shock waves take more than a year to reach the Voyagers, but when they do, they excite cosmic-ray electrons nearby. Scientists have observed similar phenomena closer to home...

The Voyager spacecraft continue to make discoveries even as they travel through interstellar space. In a new study, University of Iowa physicists report on the Voyagers’ detection of cosmic ray electrons associated with eruptions from the sun—more than 14 billion miles away.

In a successful switch during the coronavirus pandemic, the University of Iowa’s Growing Words Project altered its approach to studying how children learn words, testing children’s abilities online and recruiting more elementary-age participants in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City.

University of Iowa Associate Professor Rachel Marie-Crane Williams' book, Run Home If You Don't Want to be Killed, will be available in March 2021 through The University of North Carolina Press.

A biology student at the University of Iowa helped author a journal paper after describing a new species. Hannah Ericson, who graduated last May, characterized the new parasitic wasp species, called Coptera tonic. She is a co-author of the paper published earlier this month in the journal Zookeys.

Canadian Iowa student Marissa Mueller has become the UI's 22nd Rhodes Scholar.

Communicating the value of a graduate students’ research is more important than ever. The Graduate College’s Three Minute Thesis competition helps them share their work more broadly with people who aren’t experts in the field.
