When a Single Molecule Can Do More Than One Job

Genes are often understood in terms of the proteins they produce, but not all genetic material follows that path. Some RNA molecules play regulatory roles, influencing how genes are expressed rather than becoming proteins themselves. Understanding these roles can reshape how we think about gene regulation. At SPARK! 2025 (Showcase of Projects, Art, Research, and… continue reading

Professor Named National Property Tax Expert

As lawmakers across the United States debate reducing or eliminating the property tax, a Rutgers University–Camden professor was selected as one of a small group of nationally recognized experts invited to weigh in on the future of the property tax, one of the most important and controversial sources of local government revenue.

When Democracy Shapes Health Outcomes

Public spending on health is often assumed to produce better outcomes, but the effectiveness of that investment can depend on the political systems that govern how resources are used. This research examines how democratic governance influences the relationship between health expenditure and public health outcomes across Europe. This research was presented at the Graduate Poster… continue reading
