Last month, four researchers were selected to have samples analyzed by the UT Genomics Core and Illumina, a company that helps analyze genetic variation using the NovaSeq 6000 Next-Gen sequencing platform. Data from these experiments are expected to provide a foundation for current and upcoming research projects.

Assistant Professor of Architecture Maged Guerguis saw a way to improve an essential protective device for healthcare workers serving on the front lines against COVID-19. The shield, named “UT-Shield,” weighs two ounces, assembles in five seconds, and provides improved comfort and maximum protection for medical professionals.

Researchers surveyed more than 2,000 dinosaur bones from the Jurassic Mygatt-Moore Quarry, a 152-million-year-old fossil deposit in western Colorado, looking for bite marks. They found more than they were expecting. Big theropod dinosaurs such as Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus ate pretty much everything – including each other!

One week you’re climbing up to Machu Picchu. The next, you can barely climb out of bed. This was Jim Froula’s experience with COVID-19. Froula (BS/ME ’67, MS/ME ’68), age 74, woke up to a near-constant cough that was quickly succeeded by fever, severe lethargy, and shortness of breath—all tell-tale signs of the virus.
