The 2021 edition of 51ÁÔÆæ Research magazine has launched online<\/a>, detailing the work of dozens of faculty members, students and staff. The magazine\u2019s 40-page print edition is being distributed to campus departments and mailed to 51ÁÔÆæ faculty members, friends and influencers in the coming days.<\/p>\n

This latest edition contains stories about work done in each of 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s research-conducting schools and colleges across a variety of academic fields. It also puts a particular focus on research efforts spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201c51ÁÔÆæ researchers, like so many of their colleagues around the world, went right to work on pandemic-related issues in the areas of prevention, treatment, education, information, communication and more,\u201d 51ÁÔÆæ Chancellor Mark Mone wrote in the magazine\u2019s welcome message<\/a>. \u201cIn our Spotlight on COVID-19, you\u2019ll get a closer look at their progress, including the promising research explored in our cover story about Sandra McLellan.\u201d<\/p>\n

McLellan, a professor in the School of Freshwater Sciences, is exploring how wastewater treatment facilities can give health officials a clearer picture<\/a> of the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. Wastewater samples can serve as a COVID-19 early-warning system, revealing trends that testing alone can\u2019t provide. She\u2019s also helping lead a national effort to develop protocols for such wastewater-based epidemiology testing to help fight not only the current pandemic, but also future ones.<\/p>\n

The magazine also features in-depth stories about other important research, including an exploration of Black communities rallying for fair housing practices<\/a>. You\u2019ll learn about efforts to train culturally sensitive advocates<\/a> who can assist Native Americans who have experienced sexual assault. You\u2019ll see how 51ÁÔÆæ engineers are working on the leading edge of water purification technology<\/a> and also get a glimpse of the next chapter of data transmission technology<\/a>. You\u2019ll read about how gender matters in American politics<\/a> and how getting at the genetic roots of autism<\/a> could provide earlier treatment for the developmental disorder.<\/p>\n

Research done by 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s undergraduate and graduate students is also highlighted, as are several recent books published by 51ÁÔÆæ faculty members.<\/p>\n

Taken as a whole, the magazine is a celebration of how Wisconsin\u2019s only urban, engaged research university performs public-impact research, work that has a positive impact on campus, in our community and around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
