Policy conversations in Washington, D.C. included Rutgers Graduate School–Camden last week, as graduate students stepped into meetings with congressional staff to speak directly about the conditions shaping their education and research. Graduate Student Organization (GSo) President Alwin Phillip, a Computer Science student, and Secretary Zion Harris, a Computational and Integrative Biology student, joined Kristina Cagle,… continue reading
Modern data centers depend on storage systems that are constantly active, even when they are not in use. Identifying when disks can safely enter low-power states without affecting performance is key to improving energy efficiency at scale. At SPARK! 2025 (Showcase of Projects, Art, Research, and Knowledge), Gaurangi Sandeepkumar Garg of the M.S. in Computer… continue reading
A preschool classroom visit changed everything for Teacher Education MAT student Terra Niederoest. After switching majors as an undergraduate and trying to find the right fit, that moment set her on a path that led to eight years in early childhood education, a role as a program director, and now a return to the classroom… continue reading
At the annual U.S. National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT) conference in Golden, Colorado, Rutgers University–Camden’s Codes for Life team entered a national conversation focused on how graduate education is evolving – not only to produce strong researchers, but to prepare doctoral candidates to lead across disciplines and sectors. Hosted by Colorado School of Mines… continue reading
The sense of agency – the feeling of being in control of one’s actions and their outcomes – is central to how people experience and interact with the world. But measuring that experience is not as straightforward as it may seem, and some commonly used methods may not be capturing what researchers think they are…. continue reading
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
