Out today in Commonweal: I make the case that John Henry Newman—the 19th-century polymath who was just proclaimed a Doctor of the Church—is a guide for navigating our "post-truth" era. https://t.co/RHFxN4j4FE

Notre Dame is connecting the lab to the playing field for the first time ever. I’m thrilled to see how research can play a role in elite performance.

So much more to come.

Want to perform like an elite athlete?

Just focus. Literally. 👀

New research has identified the link between a “quiet eye” (or steady gaze) and high-level performance: https://t.co/RkgnaV5mMr

In a study led by @NotreDame professor Elizabeth Archie, researchers found that female baboons who had strong early-life bonds with their fathers—measured by grooming and co-residence—lived 2 to 4 years longer than those with weaker paternal relationships.

This small device is changing spinal surgeries.

Dr. Stephen Smith completed the first surgery with this new implant designed by @ndengineering's Ryan Roeder in the summer of 2023. Since then it has improved outcomes for more than 600 patients: https://t.co/n2Wd4goCIF

Your pupils are for much more than letting in light. In this installment of #NDResearchRevealed, Matthew Robison explains how his lab uses a dozen eye trackers to decode the complex language of the pupils to learn about — and even improve — performance and attention.

In partnership with Athletics, @UNDResearch has awarded the first-ever Human Performance & Wellness Research Grants. This funding will enable innovative new studies about injury recovery, travel fatigue, and stress adaptation.

Is there a link between a steady gaze and elite performance?

New research shows that a "quiet eye" can lead to performing tasks with greater speed and greater accuracy: https://t.co/RkgnaV5mMr

Globally, two billion people use 5G wireless networks, but the rollout of 5G technology has also come with a steep energy cost.

Researchers at Notre Dame are developing an antenna produces 5G-level performance while using less than 10% of the energy: https://t.co/wnpx7LsnDm

Could a simple, low-cost device that hangs on a wall lead to reduced malaria transmission?

A @NotreDame study showed that a spatial repellent can have transformational outcomes on malaria infections. A new video spotlights the paths that can follow.

The results demonstrating the impact of spatial repellents on Malaria incidence in Busia, Kenya are now published in the Lancet.
The last time we came this close to a recommendation for a novel vector control product was two decades ago following the evaluation of bednets!

In 1882, Notre Dame student Albert Francis Zahm built one of the world's first wind tunnels on campus.

142 years later, the University is home to a Large Mach 10 Quiet Wind Tunnel—the first and only of its kind in the world.
