The NAU Review — Women take the field

For National Girls and Women in Sport Day on Feb. 4, hear from student-athletes across NAU Athletics about the first time they picked up a ball or club or laced on running shoes, their best moments wearing blue and gold and how their athletic careers are helping prepare them for their professional careers, in their sport or in an office.

Fungi are the hidden architects of our ecosystems, acting as everything from helpful partners for plants to aggressive decomposers that recycle dead wood. Understanding this flexibility is vital to predicting how climate can affect forests and farms. A new study by NAU doctoral student Beatrice M. Bock demonstrates how AI can help do this work.
