About 1.3 million Americans live with a brain tumor, and the survival rate is only 34.8%. Associate Professors Angus Lamar and Robert Sheaff are finding new ways to strengthen the effects of chemotherapy and improve outcomes.

2. Also top of mind: Assistant Professors Kurup and Buron are researching new ways to treat neurological disorders like seizures and dementia. Their findings could result in more compassionate and effective care.

3. Engineering solutions for people with disabilities

Since the 1970s, UTulsa mechanical engineering students have focused their talents on projects that address the special needs of local residents with physical and developmental disabilities. We stopped by the Make a Difference Engineering showcase to find out what the students created this school year!

4. Tulsa World Op-Ed: Data center deals the opposite of conservative policy

Associate Professors Jason Walter and Eric Olson examine recent data center deals in Oklahoma and how they go against the state government's "pro-business" principles.
