As temperatures drop, space heaters are sometimes used on campus. However, improper use can lead to fire hazards, injuries, or equipment damage. All space heaters MUST be approved by University Facilities Management (UFM). In many cases, the building electrical systems will not support these devices. Please enter a work order using the ReADY Work Request to request a space heater. Here are some key safety guidelines to keep everyone warm and safe:Use Approved Devices Choose heaters with safety certifications (UL, ETL) and features like tip-over protection and automatic shut-off.

How do animals cope when oxygen levels suddenly drop? That question is at the center of research led by Sangeet Lamichhaney, Ph.D., associate professor and MA coordinator in the Department of Biological Sciences, whose team has assembled the first complete genome of the black redstart, a small mountain bird that regularly travels between high and low elevations. The work, recently published in Nature Scientific Data, provides a foundational resource for studying how species respond genetically to rapid environmental change.We thought the black redstart would be an excellent mod...
