Amazing, accomplished individuals and an inspiring event. @vt-science.bsky.social news.vt.edu/articles/202...

The Washington Post also covered our paper! Here's the article with a soft paywall: wapo.st/43UuquB

Using satellite, @geoallen.bsky.social and Hana Thurman measured a 166-mile-long river wave on the Colorado River. With NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, they also measured waves on Yellowstone + Ocmulgee Rivers. shorturl.at/nrKyK

We have a 2-year #postdoc opportunity in the Dept of Biological Sciences @vt-science.bsky.social to help lead a new project focused on the agroecology of apple orchards to improve orchard sustainability. Apply by June 2! Expected start date: June-August. careers.pageuppeople.com/968/cw/en-us...

Another VT Science Corner is out! Congrats to Jen Van Mullekom for a great piece on applications of statistics! Thanks to the Roanoke Times. @vt-science.bsky.social roanoke.com/opinion/colu...

You’ve probably heard the advice: “Just buy American to avoid tariffs.” But even products made in the U.S. often rely on global parts & packaging. You’re paying for all of it. Tariffs are taxes on consumers—not other countries. www.mondayeconomist.com/p/buy-american

“Long-term effects could render many coastal communities uninhabitable": As sea levels rise, a "Big One" earthquake could significantly increase flood risks in the Pacific Northwest, as coastal regions could sink by up to 6.5 feet... thehill.com/policy/energ...

CONGRATS to Dr. Andrea Hawkes, UNCW Earth & Ocean Sciences on publishing in "PNAS," paper entitled, "Increased flood exposure in the Pacific Northwest following earthquake-driven subsidence and sea-level rise." Providing understanding for coastal resilience planning. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🚨New Study Alert!🚨 Our new PNAS study shows how earthquake-driven land subsidence + rising seas = major flood hazards along the Cascadia subduction zone. 🌊🌎 @cascadiaeqs.bsky.social (1/🧵) www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....

Flood risk is increasing in the Pacific Northwest. New research from our geoscientists shows that a powerful earthquake, combined with rising sea levels, could significantly increase flood risks in the Pacific Northwest. www.nbcnews.com/science/eart...

Scientists on the hunt for extraterrestrial life just got a new lead. But cool your jets! news.vt.edu/articles/202...

Dun dun DUD… battery interfaces are the “Bermuda Triangle” of batteries — a notorious problem area that slows progress toward better batteries. Virginia Tech chemists developed an imaging technique to diagnose what's going wrong at the interfaces. #batteryinnovation #virginiatech

We are Virginia Tech College of Science, and we love (you guessed it) all things science. We #followback science researchers, teachers and faculty, science bloggers and journalists. Let's go! #biology #chemistry #geology #statistics #mathematics #datascience #neuroscience #statistics #psychology
