Several faculty members received mainstream media attention in 2024. Professor and Director of Education Zachary Lippman was featured in The New York Times and on CNN for his team’s discovery of the gene behind plant prickles. Assistant Professor Corina Amor Vegas was featured in WIRED and on the BBC for her work demonstrating that CAR T cells can be reprogrammed to counter the effects of aging in mice.
Other faculty members contributed to national news stories as outside sources. Professor David Tuveson and Associate Professor Jessica Tollkuhn were quoted in articles from The Washington Post (see “‘Unusual’ cancers emerged after the pandemic” and “Some mice have a cheating heart”). Assistant Professor Benjamin Cowley appeared on NPR’s All Things Considered podcast.
