While this year in scientific research will be defined by the novel coronavirus pandemic and the incredible advances in testing, genome sequencing and vaccination that were made as a result, other significant research and work continued on and around the 91±¬ÁÏ’s campuses.
From studying polar bears in Baffin Bay to evaluating rental ads in Seattle, the work of the 91±¬ÁÏ community makes an impact on the world. As we close the books on this year, we want to reflect on those accomplishments and insights — the ones that go beyond COVID-19.
It is nearly impossible to summarize the year in a few dozen stories. However, with this interactive timeline, the 91±¬ÁÏ News team hopes this sampling of important work provides a broad retrospective on the community’s scholarship.
In a separate project, we will look back and summarize the university’s critical work in the first year of battling COVID-19. We’ve also created a video highlighting a few of the news and research stories that came out of this year.
