Dr. Stephanie Lansing's lab at @UMD_AGNR is dedicated to turning all kinds of waste into energy. In this installment of Enterprise, we do a deep (dumpster) dive into a project that categorizes trash and its energy potential. @UofMaryland @UMDResearch

.@UMDCriminology students can get the ultimate hands-on learning experience, stepping out of classrooms and into mock crime scenes created by senior lecturer Tom Mauriello to give a deeper understanding of the science behind the investigation process.

Here's the latest in our series profiling fascinating UMD folks doing fascinating things. This one is on Tom Mauriello - who has spent nearly 50 years teaching students how to analyze crime scenes.

🏆 Scripps News just won a National #Emmy for our investigation into #Flint’s water crisis.

Nine years later, residents are still dealing with lead in their water. A federal judge cited our work when he found the city in contempt last March. Watch here: https://t.co/DYyANy11q1

For 20 years, Terps have worked to restore the ancient Roman city of Stabiae, destroyed in the same volcanic eruption that buried Pompeii.

Now, @UMD_MAPP is digitally mapping the site to preserve this rich history—and bring it to life.

Hard to imagine getting so close to 2000 year-old frescoes that you can see hairline fractures in the plaster - but that is exactly what these @UMD_MAPP students did this summer, in an effort to document the Villa Arianna outside Pompeii.

Hi quick media literacy on breaking news — maybe it’s helpful rn.

If you see a variances in coverage, there are many reasons for that.

1) outlets have dif. standards for how to address speculation on crime scenes (ie what to say ocurred before law enforcement confirm) 🧵

Some UMD researchers are developing a haptic suit and audio cueing system that can help pilots fly without vision - and we made a video about it: https://t.co/YFkHR3NNXH

I'm happy to share our latest Enterprise story featuring a research collaboration between @commthriveslab and @umiacs that makes quality health information easier for new parents to access: https://t.co/LcB7M2f0b5

Shockingly, cuteness in social media has been grossly under-studied. But thankfully a UMD team has developed a methodology to study cuteness and a whole range of other emotions.

How can a robot, a dancer and an audience can help us understand the ever-evolving relationship between humans and technology?

#UMD researchers are investigating this question through an innovative program across disciplines.

Here is @onthemedia's guide for interviewing conspiracy theorists and other disinformers running for office.

The first one is by far the most important. And I'd go further: ask yourself why you're doing this— then share that answer with the rest of us.

In March, we spent a few days in North Dakota. While for many, March brings warmer weather and spring. In North Dakota, it’s still winter. It snowed every day we were there.  @scrippsnews

[Carrie Cochran @carriecochran]

We didn't think the answer would be that difficult - a memorable moment worth watching.
