Finding Common Ground
As a political scientist who studies war and international conflicts, Seth Weinberger often finds his research intersecting with current events. As the U.S. was deploying troops to the Middle East after 9/11, he was researching war powers and the constitutional balancing act between the executive branch and Congress. Now, the professor of politics and government is asking big questions about domestic extremism and how to define a shared national identity in the midst of deep political division.

Chemistry department social distancing floor sticker with a beaker

SCIENCE ON DISPLAY The floors in Thompson Hall are already famous for housing Science on Display puzzles in the form of artistic representations of many principles of science, math, and technology, but the chemistry department has upped the ante. The third floor now features fun pandemic-related signage, such as social distancing floor stickers using lab equipment, like test tubes and beakers. Nicely done, Loggers. #WeGotThisLoggers
