Top Stories:

• BioSpace quoted Sean Beckmann, PhD, assistant professor of Biology, in the Sept. 1 story, “Wuhan Lab Possibly Linked to COVID-19 Discovers Novel Animal Virus.” “The results of this study are important for our understanding of viruses and their evolution in non-human animals,” said Beckmann, who was not involved in the study. “However, these findings should be taken in context. None of the viruses identified, or the novel viruses, are known to be transmissible to humans, and the authors don’t make any claims about their pathogenicity.”

• District Administration quoted Christopher Ferguson, PhD, professor of Psychology, in the Aug. 31 story, “School cellphone rules: Why they’re such a difficult call for districts.” “There really are two parallel processes: one, cellphones are interesting and two, school is not,” Ferguson said. “Removing No. 1 doesn’t fix No. 2, unfortunately, and students have found ways to not pay attention in class for centuries.”

• The West Volusia Beacon quoted Wendy Anderson, PhD, professor of Environmental Science and Studies and Cynthia Bennington, PhD, professor of Biology, in the Aug. 27 story, “Monarch butterflies now ‘endangered.’ ”

• Spectrum News 13 and Spectrum Bay News 9 quoted Law professor Ciara Torres-Spelliscy in the Aug. 29 story, “Federal judge deems parts of DeSantis’ ‘Stop Woke’ law unconstitutional.” “If the court decides that a particular law is severable that means they can take out parts that are unconstitutional and the rest of the law stands,” Torres-Spelliscy said. “What we have with Judge Walker is — he had one part of the act before him, this was the part that applied to businesses. So arguably, the rest of the law still stands.”
