The renowned novelist explored the global legacy of colonial attitudes and aggression during the two-night Campbell Lecture Series.
Grant backs effort to build useful bacterial colonies
Rice scientists have won a grant to advance the development of custom-designed microbial colonies for a variety of applications.
Modern simulations could improve MRIs
Rice University engineers improve simulations that analyze gadolinium-based contrast agents used in clinical magnetic resonance imaging. More efficient simulations could help make better compounds for imaging technologies.
GSA welcomes grad students new and returning with fall festivities
After a year spent studying remotely, Rice’s Graduate Student Association (GSA) knows the importance of reestablishing connections on campus — and creating a community for those first-year students just arriving.
NIH funds effort to customize treatment of movement impairments
Existing treatments for movement impairments are “off the rack” rather than “custom-tailored,” but B.J. Fregly, a Rice University professor of mechanical engineering and bioengineering, wants to change that situation.
For some peptides, killing bacteria an inside job
Rice scientists study the dynamics of the immune system’s antimicrobial peptides, which attack and eliminate harmful bacteria. They find peptides that invade bacteria and do their damage from the inside are underrated.
