Grackle researchers explore a species’ ability to adapt to new surroundings and
thrive
You might have spotted one rummaging through a garbage can on Arizona State University’s Tempe
campus, or perched high above your head on Palm Walk. Maybe you’ve even caught one soaking up
the sun, its head cocked up to the sky and wings rigid. However it happened, chances are you’ve
shared space with a great-tailed grackle at least a few times at ASU. At The College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences’ School of Life Sciences, a team of researchers are showing there’s more to this common
bird than meets the eye. Read more.

ASU researchers working to extract clean fuel from sunlight
One of the most consequential questions of our time is: How do we generate enough energy to meet
our needs? The question is particularly important as previously reliable sources of energy, such as oil
and coal, have been proven to pollute our planet with consequences ranging from a degrading air
quality to a tilt in the fragile balance of the global climate. In an effort to address the question,
researchers from the Biodesign Center for Applied Structural Discovery at Arizona State University are
exploring new technologies that could generate alternate methods of energy to satisfy global demand.

NEW!
New ASU lab will address the social challenges of climate change
As more locations across the country begin to transition to utilizing renewable energy sources, officials
in such locations face a daunting task: How do they compensate the workers and communities that
financially relied on those nonrenewable sources of energy? Learn about a new course offering for
spring 2020. Read more.
