Lizard Popsicles, Anyone?

In the 1990s, Robert Espinoza, a biologist at California State University, Northridge, heard this story from Dr. Halloy, and he has been studying lizard Popsicles ever since. The lizards belong to the genus Liolaemus, and research by Dr. Espinoza and his colleagues has revealed that the lizards are indisputably the coolest on the planet. Whereas tropical lizards like iguanas fall from trees when it gets cold, Liolaemus can supercool their bodies, tolerate freezing and live farther south and at higher elevations than any other known lizard species. -- The New York Times

Center for materials of the future awarded $18M six-year funding

For undergraduate students, PCCM annually hosts a large Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) summer program. This nine-week program offers approximately 22 students (all from outside Princeton) with mentored research experiences, faculty research seminars, tours of core facilities and local companies, and team-building social activities. Since 1998, PCCM’s REU program has hosted around 400 students, about 90% of whom went on to graduate school. With Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) partner, California State University Northridge (CSUN), PCCM has increased the percentage of URM participants in this program and is planning to expand the successful REU program to include students with disabilities. -- India Education Diary
