The disproportionate impact of the pandemic on certain populations has highlighted numerous disparities and injustices in our society. On the surface, a disease does not discriminate. However, it's not hard to see that some groups may find it more difficult to take health precautions, are less likely to be tested, and will not receive the same quality of treatment if they do end up with COVID-19.

A team of UNH engineering students was recently selected as a finalist in the prestigious U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon® 2021 Design Challenge.  The competition challenges student teams to design highly efficient and innovative buildings powered by renewable energy and aims to equip the next generation of the building workforce with the skills and passion to create future-ready buildings.

In the Northeast, heat waves, heavy downpours, and sea level rise pose growing challenges. Infrastructure, agriculture, fisheries, and ecosystems will be increasingly compromised, according to NASA. Such climatic outcomes at lower latitudes could be, in part, affected by changes to microbial communities in the Arctic, where the thawing of permafrost changes how microbes contribute to global greenhouse gas production. To further understand and predict the implications of a thawing Arctic, scientists with the University of New Hampshire's College of Life Sciences and Agriculture have focused on identifying ecological factors that play key roles in affecting changes to microbial communities.

It started with a conversation: Shantel Palacio and Nathan Harris, two students in the Ph.D. Education program were troubled by the hesitation they saw in classes when confronting diversity and race issues.
