Grahe noted that he was working more than ever for months and kept feeling like he was falling further behind. “In February 2020, I started anticipating a pandemic and started telling the students (in Statistics 232) that we could use our required class project to study it.

While batteries store energy, transistors control the flow of and amplify electric currents. They are crucial elements of nearly all modern electronics. Waldow and his team hope to

The work of Dr. Nicholas Reeves, Egyptologist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the world’s foremost expert on King Tut, has shed some light on the many mysteries that surround this famous royal tomb.
