Using data from X, formerly Twitter, researchers probed the complex patterns of relationships and shared interests that link people together across the internet. In particular, they focused on elucidating how people form online communities, interact within those communities or leave them.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science has named four New York University faculty as 2025 AAAS Fellows: Eray Aydil, Anirban Maitra, André Fenton, and Liina Pylkkänen.
At the University of Missouri, research moves with purpose. Across campus, faculty, staff and students are digging into the kinds of challenges that shape daily life — from public health and education to agriculture, technology and community well‑being. Their work advances what we know and creates practical solutions that help people in Missouri and beyond. Each new finding adds momentum to a long-standing tradition of curiosity, collaboration and service that defines our mission. In recognition of those contributions, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has named three Mizzou researchers 2025 AAAS Fellows.
Researchers have developed an AI tool that can help determine whether unfamiliar bacteria carry genetic features linked to disease. By enabling the detection of harmful bacteria before they infect humans, this could transform pandemic preparedness.
