New grant to advance diversity in academic STEM careers
FAU has modified its undergraduate grading policy for the Spring 2020 semester. In eligible courses, undergraduate students may request a change from the standard grade mode (“A” through “F”) to the Pass/Fail (P/F) grade mode for the Spring 2020 semester.
College of Science Student Services and Advising has transitioned to remote platforms beginning March 18, 2020, until further notice. Learn more.
A new study by researchers in the FAU College of Science demonstrates that mother-infant touch and contact are essential for optimal neurodevelopmental regulation in early infancy. Referred to as Kangaroo Care, a skin-to-skin, chest-to-chest method of caring for a baby, has been associated with promoting brain development in infants. Read more.

Mathematical biologist, Necibe Tuncer, Ph.D., is interviewed by College of Science Dean, Ata Sarajedini, Ph.D., about how mathematical models are used to understand how infectious disease spreads in a population. Tuncer also discusses what information mathematical epidemiologists look for to better understand emerging diseases, such as the coronavirus. Listen to the full podcast here.
Every fall the National Science Foundation (NSF) invites STEM Ph.D. candidates in the final year of their studies to apply for the prestigious NSF postdoctoral fellowship program. The program is incredibly competitive, with thousands of eligible candidates competing for only thirty awards in mathematics. This gives us great cause to celebrate Jorge's many accomplishments.

Learn how FAU’s Department of Mathematical Sciences is taking steps to advance access and affordability in its courses. Read more.
It is believed that female sea turtles may mate multiply to ensure fertilization, which will result in multiple paternity within their nests, providing “fertilization insurance,” so to speak. However, researchers from Florida Atlantic University suggest that this fertilization insurance hypothesis might not be so compelling after all. Read more.
