Example of US labor

US needs more foreign workers to solve labor crisis, says Baker Institute expert

June 27, 2022

Allowing more legal immigration and creating a workable solution for the millions of people living in the United States illegally is the only way to effectively address the nation’s worsening labor shortage, according to a report from Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy.

Embryo and embryoid research state regulations are morally inconsistent, say Baker Institute experts

June 27, 2022

State policies on human embryo and embryoid research are morally inconsistent, according to a paper by Kirstin Matthews and Daniel Moralí published in the Journal of Law and the Biosciences, which reviewed all applicable federal and state laws.

Following overturn of Roe v. Wade, Baker Institute experts available to discuss embryo and embryoid research landscape

June 27, 2022

Two experts from the Baker Institute for Public Policy’s Center for Health and Biosciences at Rice University are available to explain the regulatory landscape of human embryo and embryoid research, especially in light of changes to federal policy after Roe v. Wade was overturned.

Houston’s hot housing market has decreased inventory and widened affordability gap

June 21, 2022

Houston’s housing market is hotter than ever, people are paying skyrocketing prices for a declining inventory of homes and apartments and the affordability gap is getting worse, according to a new report from Rice University’s Kinder Institute for Urban Research.

Rice University computer scientists and collaborators develop a program to screen short DNA sequences, whether synthetic or natural, to determine their toxicity.

SeqScreen can reveal ‘concerning’ DNA

June 21, 2022

Rice computer scientists and collaborators develop a program to screen short DNA sequences, whether synthetic or natural, to determine their toxicity.

Environmental engineers determine the economic cost of reactive nitrogen emissions from agriculture, and their significant risks to populations through air pollution and climate change.

Agriculture emissions pose risks to health and climate

June 17, 2022

Rice researchers find the economic cost of emissions from agriculture and their risks to populations through air pollution and climate change.

Rice University physicists used ultracold atoms and a 1D channel of light to simulate electrons in 1D wires and study how two of their intrinsic properties — spin and charge — travel at different speeds.

Rice lab’s quantum simulator delivers new insight

June 16, 2022

A Rice University quantum simulator is giving physicists a clear look at spin-charge separation, a bizarre phenomenon in which two parts of indivisible particles called electrons travel at different speeds in extremely cold 1D wires. The research is published this week in Science and has implications for quantum computing and electronics with atom-scale wires.

Computer scientists develop a method that allows humans to help complex robots build efficient solutions to “see” their environments and carry out tasks.

Rice computer scientists develop a method that allows humans to help complex robots build efficient solutions to “see” their environments and carry out tasks.

Grief example

Stressful events can take big toll on those struggling most with death of spouse

June 13, 2022

Widowed individuals experiencing intense grief after the loss of their spouse experience a significant increase in body inflammation following other stressful events, according to new research from Rice University.  

A study led by Rice University suggests parents accustomed to home schooling felt more resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic than those whose public-school children were suddenly housebound, especially when the latter parents did not meet recommendations for physical activity.

Schooling status during pandemic predicted parents’ resilience

June 9, 2022

A new study suggests parents accustomed to home schooling felt more resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic than those whose public-school children were suddenly housebound, especially when the latter parents did not meet recommendations for physical activity.
