Researchers from across campus crowded into the sleek Media Innovation Center with coffee in hand — curious and committed to nearly 36 hours of working together with some people they knew and a lot of others they did not. Provost Maryanne Reed stood at a lectern to kick off a hackathon — the kind of challenge found in Silicon Valley.

Newly discovered Fast Radio Burst 190520 shows unique behavior compared to other FRBs discovered so far. This deviant cosmic burst was observed by an international team, co-led by researchers at WVU and the Center for Gravitational Waves and Cosmology. Professor Sarah Burke Spolaor along with then graduate assistant Kshitij Aggarwal published their findings in Nature.
The spacecraft constellation will make the first global measurements of the coupling between the magnetosphere and the Earth’s upper atmosphere. The results will help detect and predict extreme conditions in space that can impact society and future exploration. Christopher Fowler, in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is a co-investigator and member of the AETHER science team and will be heavily involved in analyzing science data returned by the scientific instruments on GDC.
In today’s post-pandemic world, strained global supply chains have emerged as a new norm. But in the case of prescription opioids, namely oxycodone and hydrocodone in the early 2000s, that supply chain flowed freely without any kinks. This is in part due to the influence of supplier pool pressure on pharmacy participation in oversupply, according to research conducted by Ednilson Bernardes.
This study involves a computer-based task and sessions take one to three hours. Sessions will take place in the Life Sciences Building and multiple sessions may be required. Participants can earn $15.
