While metastatic breast #cancer spreads quickly, new research hopes to help patients stay one step ahead. A @UNC clinical trial uses biomarker data to match patients to the most promising therapies & help doctors change course as their cancer evolves.

The Big Ten’s new “We Are Here” ad reminds us of their impact off the field driving health, opportunity, and stronger communities. Check out the ad below and during Big Ten football games this season.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

The regional winners, @IndianaUniv, @OregonState, @UTKnoxville, and @WestVirginiaU, will go on to compete for the national C. Peter Magrath Community Engagement Scholarship Award to be announced at the #APLU2025 Annual Meeting.

We’re proud to announce the 2025 regional winners of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Community Engagement Scholarship Award! The four winners are recognized for their exemplary commitment to #community engagement & regional impact.

Who are adult learners? Undergrads ages 25+ and they’re reshaping #highered. That’s why @USUCoalition & APLU launched UALI – a self-paced program to help campus professionals support this growing group. Earn your Adult Learner Advocate Certification today:

Have you registered for #APLU2025 yet? Join us November 9-11 at the APLU Annual Meeting in Philadelphia for three days of programming tailored to senior leaders in public #highered.

What if Peter Pan was right all along? According to @IowaStateU growing up slower might mean living longer. New fruit fly research links elongated development to reduced inflammation & longer lifespans, providing critical clues to improve human longevity.

Dementia cases are projected to triple by 2050, but addressing commonly overlooked conditions could help change that. @uidaho research shows treating depression, addiction, & sleep disorders may help slow cognitive decline & improve brain health.

Making waves in #defense intelligence: with a $25 million @USNavy contract, @SouthernMiss is developing ocean sensing software that will inform decision making in unmanned underwater vessels, boosting the United States’ national security edge undersea.

Though we know that amphetamine addiction can pose deadly consequences, how the drug actually impacts the brain remains unclear. @FloridaAtlantic seeks to uncover the neurological processes that contribute to addiction using unlikely models: roundworms.

When it comes to producing microchips, miniscule mistakes can be costly. New @ASU research uses advanced #AI to detect manufacturing errors at the nanoscale level, boosting overall efficiency in semiconductor output.

RT @APLU_GovAffairs: Congratulations @RepAdams, recipient of the APLU Council on Governmental Affairs Congressional Achievement Award! Rep.….

Rising to the moment means coming together to tackle the challenges ahead. Join 1,200 senior public & land-grant university leaders at #APLU2025 from November 9-11 as we chart the course forward & shape the future of #highered. Register today!

Powering Pennsylvania’s workforce: With two new grants, @PittTweet will train & certify tens of thousands of life sciences, #cybersecurity, & biomanufacturing workers to supplement critical booming industries in Western Pennsylvania.

The future of #energy is less expensive than you think. A @UofSC team is on a mission to build the next generation of batteries with increased energy density – and they’re doing it at a lower cost by harnessing the power of naturally abundant materials.

As #highered faces unprecedented challenges, it’s more important than ever to exchange best practices across a network of seasoned public university leaders. Join the conversation at #APLU2025 November 9-11 in Philadelphia! Register today!

After a heart attack, patients hope the worst is behind them. But for many, this is just the beginning. In a novel treatment, @universityofky researchers have pioneered a technique that could reduce post-attack inflammation associated with heart disease.

What if we could target cancer cells without damaging healthy tissue? @Mizzou scientists are developing Terbium-161, a powerful radioisotope that could one day destroy hard-to-reach microscopic cancer cells while avoiding unaffected parts of the body.

We are counting down the days until #APLU2025! Register today to join over 1,200 senior university leaders as they foster collaboration & share strategies to address the most pressing issues in public #highered.

Houston, we have a solution: @UF researchers are engineering #AI assisted robotic hands that could allow space agencies to remotely provide astronauts with life-saving medical care, no matter how far away they are from Earth.
