Â鶹¹ú²ú

There are a number of things you could be thinking about during your commute, from the day’s agenda to what podcast to listen to. For a few George Mason Â鶹¹ú²ú professors and students from the College of Health and Human Services, the Volgenau School of Engineering and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, a less common topic is front of mind: the effects of traffic pollution on women’s health.

George Mason Â鶹¹ú²ú has once again been recognized as one of the nation’s top research universities by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.

Across five continents, more than 100 Smithsonian research projects collect a continuous stream of data on wildlife using camera traps—motion-triggered cameras that clue scientists in on what’s happening when humans aren’t around.
This semester, George Mason Â鶹¹ú²ú senior Jamie Fetherolf is contributing to the network firsthand, by setting up camera traps in Washington, D.C., and analyzing the data with a Smithsonian conservation scientist at the Smithsonian-Mason School of Conservation.

Horrified to learn about Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections, George Mason Â鶹¹ú²ú professor A. Trevor Thrall was intrigued when he met John Fuisz, cofounder of SSR Industries, and learned that his company had developed a new strategy for finding social media attacks online.

A team of researchers from George Mason Â鶹¹ú²ú has received a National Science Foundation grant to introduce a more active-learning approach that would improve student understanding, increase retention and increase the numbers of women and minorities in STEM fields.
