A @universityofga researcher’s discovery of a new planet outside our solar system was featured in a recent commercial by @Apple. Our students, faculty and staff continue to demonstrate the many ways UGA is a leading institution of higher education.

UGA IN THE NEWS: A new study out of @universityofga Odum School of Ecology shows monarch butterflies with larger white spots fly more efficiently, making the longer migration trip easier. Read more about the research, which included undergraduate student involvement, in the NYT.

To make a migration over thousands of miles, more spots on their wings may help monarch butterflies https://t.co/zpeCCuISzN

UGA IN THE NEWS: The New York Times highlights new research from @universityofga researchers suggesting the giant Joro spiders invading the Southeast are extremely shy and nonaggressive.

[NYT Science @NYTScience]

Joro spiders are the size of your palm. They weave webs up to three feet across, and are on their way to New York over a decade of working their way up the East Coast. Fortunately it appears that they might be a bit shy. https://t.co/HNaz4KUKQk

UGA IN THE NEWS: @CBSMornings showcases ongoing @universityofga research toward advancing the world's first honey bee vaccine. Great segment highlighting our efforts to combat a global issue. 🐝

[CBS Mornings @CBSMornings]

Bees pollinate one-third of the food grown in the U.S. and are essential to producing billions of dollars worth of crops annually — but bee colonies are collapsing due to disease and climate change.

Now, a U.S. government-approved honeybee vaccine could help them survive.

This is the paper I watched my dad read every morning growing up. The paper that gave us cartoons, coupons and movie times. The paper that started me on the path to journalism school and beyond.

The Birmingham News will always be my hometown paper. This one hurts.

No. 5 is the right answer, with No. 3 as a close backup. Honorable mention to No. 2 from grade school days and No. 7 from newsrooms with no budget days.
