Sierra Walsh ’22, a double major in neuroscience and behavior and biomedical science: medical microbiology, shares her view of UNH.

Tan Dao ’21 has been accepted into Harvard University’s doctoral program in physics, consistently ranked among the best in the world.

New UNH research has uncovered a novel way of studying protein interactions which may improve the efficacy of a class of drugs — called allosteric drugs — that treat diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders. The research also has the potential to significantly cut time and cost of preliminary allosteric drug design by incorporating a new form of computer simulation analysis.

Carsey research by Michael Ettlinger and Jordan Hensley shows that the rippling effects of a massive economic downturn have caused the nation to lose 9.5 million jobs — more losses than during the Great Recession. 

Jo Porter, director of the Institute for Health Policy and Practice has been appointed to the newly created State All Payer Claims Databases Advisory Committee (SAPCDAC).

According to research published by Carsey School demographer Kenneth Johnson, the pandemic has many reassessing their lives, including where they live. The Census Bureau indicates NH’s population grew by 5,500 to 1,366,000 between July 2019 and July 2020. “In contrast, the region as a whole and four of its six states lost population between July 2019 and July 2020, due in part to mortality associated with the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Johnson.

Research published by Carsey School demographer Kenneth Johnson shows that New Hampshire is gaining significantly more migrants from other U.S. destinations than earlier in the decade. The largest gains are among young adults 18 to 29. Each year, an average of 8,300 more people moved to New Hampshire than left it for other U.S. destinations between 2015 and 2019. This is good news for NH, which is challenged by an aging workforce and population.

As a nontraditional UNH student, Elizabeth Kipp ’21 took 16 credits a semester her sophomore and junior years so she could finish her undergraduate degree in social work in three years.

New Hampshire is in good civic health, ranking higher than the national average on several key indicators such as voter turnout, volunteering, charitable giving, attending public meetings, having strong connections with family and friends, and talking with others about important political, societal or local issues, according to new research from the Carsey School of Public Policy and the National Conference on Citizenship.
