“Oregon trees are faring well this summer,” Heather Stoven, from Oregon State University’s agricultural extension service, told Olive Oil Times. “Established olives in Oregon can tolerate the heat and dry summer conditions without protective measures. Young trees, however, do need supplemental water during the summer.”
“If you have all of those conditions at the same time, it’s often what the National Weather Service calls ‘red flag conditions,’” said Erica Fleishman, director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute at Oregon State University. (see also ABC News, TIME)

Oregon State University (OSU) is launching an initiative to create pathways to higher education for Black, Indigenous and Latino communities in the Portland area through collaborating with organizations serving these communities.
“It’s distressing, it’s upsetting, it’s dismaying,” said Courtney Campbell, an Oregon State University professor who teaches medical ethics courses to future doctors, pharmacists and nurses. “You don’t go into the profession to engage in political or culture war discussions.” But, he said, it is both the patient’s obligation to keep those views to themselves and the medical providers’ obligation to communicate that and to continue to give care – unless the patient exhibits a pattern of truly abusive and disruptive behavior.
There has been some progress in this direction. A coalition led by Oregon State University recently proposed recommendations for more systematically recognizing innovative activity, and the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities has expressed support for considering technology transfer activities in promotion and tenure decisions.
