The unprecedented rise in COVID-19 positivity surrounding campus has created uncertainty for students and professors alike and may lead more professors to move their classes online for the time being. Biochemistry professor Angeline Lyon said she intended to teach in-person, but will emphasize flexibility in her courses. “It's obviously a lot more fun to lecture and to be able to gauge understanding in person,” she said, “but not everybody feels confident, and not everybody has the luxury of deciding to be here in person. “So as long as everyone's masking up and following the guidelines, I feel OK teaching. And then for students who can't make it or anything like that, having the flexibility to move things online if we need to, recording lectures and things like that.”

Many people are involved in the remarkable range of programs, services and facilities that undergird research in the College of Agriculture. Collectively they’re integral to the college fulfilling its research mission. “Behind the Research” explores their individual roles. Each academic year, we profile six people whose work supports the College of Agriculture’s global reputation for developing innovative, multidisciplinary solutions to challenges and then putting those solutions into action.

Flurona is a term that is used to describe an infection of COVID-19 and the flu together. It is a rare double infection in which a person catches both of the viruses, simultaneously. According to a U.S. Centers for Disease Control flu season FAQ posted in October, it is absolutely possible to "have flu, as well as other respiratory illnesses, and COVID-19 at the same time."

A delegation from the Universidad Nacional de San Agustín (UNSA) in Arequipa, Peru, visited Purdue University’s West Lafayette campus in October to begin the third phase of a major multidisciplinary research partnership. UNSA and Purdue partnered nearly four years ago to create the Arequipa Nexus Institute for Sustainable Food, Water, Energy, and the Environment. Via research and education, the Nexus Institute aims to address challenges in the areas of food security and safety, water and air quality, energy efficiency, soil health and productivity, social conflict identification and resolution models, and holistic watershed management for the peoples of Arequipa and Latin America.

What makes pancreatic cancer so deadly is its covert and quick spread. Now, a “time machine” built by Purdue University engineers has shown a way to reverse the course of cancer before it spreads throughout the pancreas.
Scientists Create “Time Machine” Made of Human Cells To Reverse Pancreatic Cancer Progression

Pancreatic cancer it is so dangerous because it stays “hidden” for a long time, and when it is activated it spreads very quickly. It seems that it is theoretically possible to master this process, as reported by scientists from Purdue University. They created a kind of “time machine” that it inhibits tumor progression.
