New grant led by ABE researcher breaks new ground with perennial cover crops
A diverse team of 18 scientists led by D. Raj Raman, Morrill Professor of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering at Iowa State, received a five-year, $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture to study the potential environmental benefits afforded by perennial grasses, which grow every year without having to be planted or harvested, between rows of cash crops.

Powerhouse of the cell, key to new treatments
Cyclone Engineers are developing a comprehensive mitochondrial genetic toolkit. The toolkit will be used to untangle the complex nature of mitochondrial genetics and the impact mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have on health disorders like type 2 diabetes, cancers and neurological disorders.
Poleacovschi writes in The Conversation: For engineers, asking for help at work is influenced by gender
CCEE’s Cristina Poleacovschi has found that, for engineers, asking for help is influenced by gender. Women are more likely to feel knowledge is easy to access and are more likely to ask women colleagues questions.
