The water supply is not only shrinking, it’s also being delivered earlier. “Snow pack melts, except at real high elevations, and that supplies water to the streams,” Michael Campana, a hydrologist at Oregon State University, told me. But climate change, he said, is starting to trigger snow melt earlier in the year.

Oregon State University already had a benefits navigator in place when its state bill was passed. But the university switched to a peer-to-peer model, like Rise’s, after three years. “We saw a lot of limits to his impact — often he was scheduled a month or more out,” said Nicole Hindes, director of Oregon State’s Basic Needs Center, in an email about the former benefits navigator. The peer model is designed to “increase the amount of support hours we have available for students and to create a ‘drop-in anytime’ approach that also impacts some of the stigma issues,” she wrote.
Yes. Synthetic pesticides and fertilizers can damage soil and pollute water. “Many of the pesticides and synthetic forms of fertilizer, if not managed and fine-tuned, often end up in our water and even in our fish,” says Garry Stephenson, a professor of crop and soil science at Oregon State University in Corvallis. Nitrogen-based fertilizer, often used in conventional agriculture, is a major contributor to air and water pollution, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council.

in the Spanish language, the word for success is “exito.” And at a recent summer camp hosted by Oregon State University, about 150 mostly Latino 4-H members were inspired to strive for it.

MINERvA: Noah Harvey Vaughan, OSU PhD candidate in physics, is researching fundamental, subatomic particles called neutrinos. For the next year Vaughan is working at Fermilab, a national lab outside of Chicago credited with several major discoveries in particle physics. “MINERvA, the experiment my thesis is focused on, completed taking data in 2018. Part of my work is repurposing the MINERvA detector for DUNE, a future flagship experiment with >1000 collaborators all over the world. The MINERvA detector is located 100m (~330ft) underground at Fermilab, stands about 20ft tall weighing several tons, and sits in a beamline that shoots neutrinos from Fermilab through the earth's crust all the way to South Dakota ~800 miles away. Attached is a picture of MINERvA as we're reassembling it for DUNE!"
