Last spring, a Geography 102 class made a project for extra credit that has turned into a testament to West Virginia’s staying power throughout the world. The students searched for video of people across the globe singing what may be your favorite song: “Country Roads,” and put their research into an online map. Read about it in the latest edition of WVU Magazine.
WV-INBRE program will provide funding for HSTA scholars attending WVU and Marshall University to participate in biomedical science research. A maximum of six internships (three for WVU/three for MU) will be available.
Albeir Mousa, a professor of vascular surgery, has used an innovative, faster method for ruling out DVT in patients before they have an ultrasound. He and his research team found that measuring the level of a specific protein—called D-dimer—in a patient’s blood may predict whether a time-intensive ultrasound is warranted. The “Annals of Vascular Surgery” has published the team’s results.
Four students pursuing doctoral degrees at West Virginia University are receiving funding through the Ruby Scholars Graduate Fellowship Program. The seventh class of fellows includes Hannah Clipp, Michelle Frankot, Dylan Linville and Lakyn Sanders.
