Reaching Your Research Goals

So you're working from home – you must have lots of extra time to do research, or workout, or organize your closet, or maybe even make your first TikTok video. At least that's the illusion.The reality is, you don't have more time. In fact, you may feel even more pressured for time in this new world.
That's why we've put together five easy things you can do to advance your research goals while working remotely. Watch the video HERE.
Smart Ring Anticipates COVID-19

Scientists from the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine implemented an approach to predict COVID-19 infections in healthcare workers on the frontline of the pandemic using the Oura ring. This smart ring worn around-the-clock continuously provides data in real-time to track the body’s heart rate, temperature, movement and sleep. READ MORE.
Deep Learning Tracks Hurricane Intensity

Researchers from the College of Engineering and Computer Science and FAU’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute use data to predict natural disasters that includes hurricane intensity, short-term weather storms and other abnormalities. With the data collected from previous disaster their findings will help the communities' reactions and response to the upcoming hurricane season. READ MORE.
The Internet of Things: From Smart Toothbrushes to COVID-19

More than 300 attendees joined the virtual Research in Action with Christine Spadola, Ph.D., assistant professor from the College for Design and Social Inquiry, in her discussion on the science behind sleeping during a global pandemic If you missed out on Spadola's talk, watch it HERE.

Tomorrow: Join Jason Hallstrom, Ph.D., professor in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, as he discusses the Internet of Things relative to COVID-19, hurricanes, smart toothbrushes and more, HERE.
Researcher Dubbed Conch Girl

A team from the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute and recent graduate Laura Issac Norton traveled to the Bahamas to help design and operate a queen conch restoration hatchery. Norton was named Conch girl after her time spent studying the queen conch. WATCH.
