Stay-At-Home Microbes: Berkeley-Cincinnati Study Finds Micro-Organisms More Complicated Than We Thought

When it comes to plant life and animal life, a species usually shows genetic differences in different parts of the world.  For the tiny form of life known as micro-organisms, the opposite has been considered to be true – they don’t tend to differ by geographic location.  That long-held view has been convincingly overturned in a study by University of Cincinnati and University of California, Berkeley, researchers focusing on a form of life that flourishes in extremely hot conditions.

UC chemistry alumna gives back to community

December 6, 2024

UC alum Ann Villalobos was undecided about joining the university’s PhD program in chemistry in 1985. She had graduated from the University of the Philippines—her home country—and gone on to the Tokyo Institute of Technology. She was looking for her next academic step when UC came onto her radar. Moving a world away to Cincinnati to further her education took some convincing for Villalobos. But she was intrigued by what the program had to offer. “I applied to the PhD program at the department of chemistry because the professors collaborate with each other to have a more meaningful, integrated research,” she said. After application, she was accepted. But she wasn’t totally convinced quite yet.
