Today in the News Media


Today in the News Media is a synopsis of some of the most prominent coverage of OSU people and programs. Inclusion of any item constitutes neither an endorsement nor a critique, but rather is intended only to make the OSU community aware of significant items in the media. For more about this section, see: https://today.oregonstate.edu/email/submission-guidelines
 

Megastorms are coming to the Pacific Northwest (The Columbian)

“We found that at basically every location [in the Columbia River Basin]—except the lower main stem of the Columbia [River]—that we would expect the maximum flood events to increase in magnitude in a warmer world, and that was surprising,” says study coauthor, climate researcher Phil Mote, vice provost and dean of the Graduate School at Oregon State University. The increase in flooding, according to the study, is largely driven by warming temperatures forcing precipitation to fall as rain rather than as snow.

 

Beaver dams mitigate the effects of climate change on rivers (Earth. com)

“Completely by luck, a beaver decided to build a dam at our study site,” said Dewey, who is now a postdoctoral scholar at Oregon State University (whose mascot, incidentally, is a beaver). “The construction of this beaver dam afforded us the opportunity to run a great natural experiment.”
 

OSU researchers look into what's affecting sea life in coastal waters (KLCC)

Jack Barth is the executive director leading the Marine Studies Initiative at Oregon State University. He says water temperature and quality are leading stressors. “How do these organisms deal with a heating ocean, an ocean that's becoming more acidic. We're lowering the oxygen in the water." Barth told KLCC. "So we call that hypoxia, where the organisms literally can't breathe, and either die off or have to get away quickly.”

 

Disease outbreak leaves sea lions stranded on Oregon Coast (Think Out Loud)

More than 150 sea lions have been found sick or dead along Oregon’s coast due to a bacterial outbreak of Leptospirosis this summer. The disease is spread through the mammals’ urine and can be spread to other species such as dogs. Jim Rice is the stranding program manager for Oregon State University’s Marine Mammal Institute. He joins us to share what the outbreak has looked like so far and how it compares to previous years.
 

Who won, who lost, and what it means: Election 2022 numbers and reactions (Jefferson Public Radio)

We spend all of today's JX unpacking some of the many items we voted on. In the 8 o'clock hour, political scientist Christopher Stout from Oregon State University pulls up a chair to give some analysis of the results on the Oregon side of the line, and how they figure into the national political picture.
 

These universities have the best online bachelor's degree programs in the U.S. — and 11 of them are public schools (MSN)

Top 10 online bachelor's degree programs in 2022: 5. Oregon State University.  


Wikipedia, once shunned, now embraced in the classroom (Inside Higher Ed)

Professors who make room for Wikipedia in their classrooms seize opportunities to engage students in conversations about how knowledge is constructed and shared, according to Diana Park, science librarian at Oregon State University. Her research, conducted with Laurie Bridges, instruction and outreach librarian and associate professor at Oregon State, is informed by their experiences teaching a two-credit course at the university that helps students think about information equity through a Wikipedia lens.

Timely Teaching Tips: Distributed practice and self-testing are two effective strategies for spacing out learning and promoting long-term memory formation and retention. Share these strategies using the Academic Success Center’s Effective Test Prep page. Making time in class to talk about these two strategies and giving students time to map out a study schedule can encourage planning in advance of finals.
