In 2014, a Rochester high school was on the brink of closure. Since then, a partnership with the University has helped East High School to forge a new culture and commitment to revival.”
"It’s now the beginning of year three—and some key numbers have started to move."
By 2040, that number of people with Parkinson's will grow to 14.2 million as the population ages—a rate of growth that will outpace that of Alzheimer's.
“We feel it is urgent that people with Parkinson’s go to the pharmaceutical industry and policymakers alike, demanding immediate action to fight this enormous threat.”
Rochester Researchers say the Parkinson’s community must come together and focus its activism in several ways:
Support a better understanding of the environmental, genetic, and behavioral causes and risk factors for Parkinson’s to help prevent its onset.
Increase access to care—an estimated 40 percent of people with the disease in both the US and Europe don’t see a neurologist and the number is far greater in developing nations.
Advocate for increases in research funding for the disease.
Lower cost of treatments—many patients in low-income countries don’t have access to drugs that are both lifesaving and improve quality of life.
Using the strange rules of quantum mechanics, researchers were able to put a quantum bit in a superposition of two different energy states at the same time.
To perform this quantum magic, the researchers measured the frequency of a signal—such as a pendulum on a grandfather clock—using a quantum bit, the smallest unit of quantum information, analogous to a binary digit bit in a standard computer. In quantum physics, particles do not have definite states as they do in classical physics. Instead, they have probabilities of being one thing or another. Using these strange rules of quantum mechanics, researchers were able to put a quantum bit in a superposition of two different energy states at the same time, then shift around these states in time with the measured system (such as the swinging pendulum) in order to measure the frequency.
In a 1976 journal article about Puritan funerals, Ulrich coined a phrase that has since become ubiquitous: Well-behaved women seldom make history.
The “ambiguity of the slogan surely accounts for its appeal,” she writes in her book Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History (Knopf, 2007), a series of essays reflecting on the catchphrase.
But history is made in many ways. “I don’t think it means, necessarily, running for office,” she says. “It could also mean studying the past. It could mean collecting documents. It could mean preserving tortillas.
“It could be any number of things.”

A story in four acts/photos...
A scientific team at the University of Rochester is using innovative technology to discover preventative treatments for salivary gland radiation damage typical for head and neck cancer patients.
“It’s microbubbles to the rescue.”
The artists will work with the archives of the city's university for the John G. Hanhardt–curated project.
“This is a heavy tech town... Something a little bit tech-y might help Memorial Art Gallery connect in new ways with the broader community here, which is the child of Xerox, Kodak, Bausch and Lomb, Western Union, and American Express. It’s not a blue-collar, rust-belt city. This is a white-collar precision-manufacturing city.”
—Memorial Art Gallery director Jonathan Binstock on Rochester, NY, nicknamed the World's Image Center
UR Medicine’s Wilmot Cancer Institute will be among the first sites in the world to offer CAR T-cell therapy —a new type of immunotherapy—to adults with aggressive lymphoma.
The engineered gene therapy has been described as a revolutionary “living drug” and one of the most powerful cancer treatments to emerge in recent years.
Derek Peterson ’93 is one of this year's 24 recipients of a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation fellowship—commonly known as the “genius grant.”
“I think it’s important, in today’s America, that we understand how dictatorships work, how they transform activism into a form of demagoguery.”
Many thought it would be impossible to get tetrahertz waves—radiation used in ways similar to X-rays—from water. New research proves them wrong.
“…if you try something, you might not get the result you wanted. But if you never try it, you definitely won’t get it.”
Richard Thaler, who earned his graduate degrees at Rochester, is a leading scholar on the intersection between human behavior and economic decision making.

Petty burst onto the scene during the New Wave era, but he was not of it--he moved forward while earnestly embracing rock's history, passing those values on in ways that continue to shape rock music, John Covach writes.
Teenagers with school starting times before 8:30 a.m. may be at particular risk of experiencing depression and anxiety due to compromised sleep quality.
The Jewish holiday of reflection and hope tends to bring everyone to the heaping table of traditional foods when fasting is over, But celebrating with a huge feast was not always the case.
According to Nora Rubel, associate professor of religion, the break fast makes the holiday more like other Jewish holidays, which tend to be food-centered. "And being with people. Judaism has never been a monastic religion," she laughs. "The major important prayers, you have to have ten people." Judaism is a religion practiced in congregation — and at the table.
Xi-Cheng Zhang has worked for nearly a decade to solve a scientific puzzle that many believed to be impossible: producing terahertz waves from liquid water.
“Figuring out how to generate terahertz waves from liquid water is a fundamental breakthrough because water is such an important element in the human body and on Earth.”
The study will follow the biological and behavioral development of more than 10,000 children from ages 9-10 through early adulthood.
The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study was created by the National Institutes of Health to evaluate the developmental period during which the brain undergoes dramatic changes.
“Adolescence is a time of extraordinary physical, emotional, and intellectual growth,” said John Foxe, Ph.D., director of the Del Monte Neuroscience Institute and principal investigator of the URMC ABCD Study. “Yet there is a great deal that we don’t know about how experiences such as participation in sports or music programs, screen time, sleep patterns, and long-term exposure to medications and stimulants impact their transition to adulthood.”
Happy first day of fall! 🍁
