CRISPR-Cas9 has emerged as a potent genome editing tool that promises unprecedented control and specificity in targeting desired sequences and has been successfully employed in many cell lines and organisms. However, whether CRISPR-Cas9 can function in a setting where the target sequences can fold into stable secondary structures (alternative structures to the well-known double-helix DNA) is not known. In this project, researchers from Physics and Chemistry departments will establish capabilities and limitations of CRISPR-Cas9 in targeting such sequences and functioning in the vicinity of...

It’s junior year and Tessa Stevens wanted mealtimes to be convenient and economical. She purchased a Kent State meal plan, and it has proven to be the way to her heart, her stomach and easy on her wallet. “I got the meal plan because it’s the easiest option,” said Stevens, an environmental studies major, as she consumed a breakfast sandwich and orange juice in Eastway Dining Hall Thursday morning. “All the food is already here. Why would I spend money to buy food? It seemed like a smarter choice because all my resources would be on campus rather than going to the store to buy food.”&nbs...
Remote learning means students can study and take their exams virtually -- make that literally -- anywhere. Recent graduate Jake Mansfield, BA '21, shared these photos from his senior year in which he paused to take an exam while rock climbing in the New River Gorge in Southern West Virginia in the Appalachian Mountains. An experienced rock climber and certified instructor, Mansfield would often do his class work and take exams while out on a pitch; most of the climbs at the New River Gorge are 30-120 feet in height but others are even higher. Photos below also ...
In August 2021, 1,000 incoming Kent State students, faculty and staff began a collaborative community effort to implement a social justice quilting project. This initiative stemmed from the Community Engaged Learning (CEL) department's welcome week and was completed in late August 2022. “The students were only given fabric, fabric glue, stencils and cookie cutters,” Louise Ditchey, academic program officer and coordinator for the executive master of the business administrations program at Kent State, said. “Then after a year of hard work, we all created these quilts together.” Ditchey and Ka...
