For the third time, the International Business Innovation Association (InBIA) has awarded its highest honor – the Randall M. Whaley Incubator of the Year award – to UF Innovate | Sid Martin Biotech.
Findings from a first-ever national survey of tick management methods reveal the most significant roadblocks to creating a uniform, national tick strategy.
We asked Natalie Dean and Michelle Cardel to share what they’ve learned about diversifying science conversations in the news and social media.
Moving forward on its sweeping vision to transform the future of education through artificial intelligence (AI), the University of Florida is collaborating with technology company NVIDIA to acquire the world’s most advanced AI system to boost the performance of UF’s powerful supercomputer.

The iconic eyespots that some moths and butterflies use to ward off predators likely evolved in distinct ways, providing insights into how these insects became so diverse.
This spring, a Florida Museum of Natural History researcher rediscovered the metallic navy insects, a first step to conserving this understudied and imperiled species.
The goal is a test that can be administered at home in less than 30 minutes, says UF Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering professor Piyush Jain, eliminating the need for a trip to a health care facility.
Saeed Moghaddam, the Knox T. Millsaps Professor of the UF Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, along with industry and organizational partners, will develop a breakthrough cooling and heating system with a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
A new study published in Biology Letters describes a fragmented arm bone from a frog in the genus Eleutherodactylus, also known as rain frogs or coquís. The fossil is the oldest record of frogs in the Caribbean and, fittingly, was discovered on the island where coquís are most beloved.
With stories spreading about COVID-19 patients losing the ability to smell and taste, we asked Steven Munger, director of the University of Florida Center for Smell and Taste, what science can actually tell us about the potential link — and what to do if it happens to you.
Elizabeth “Liz” Wing helped create the field now known as environmental archaeology, the study of how people have interacted with plants, animals and landscapes over past millennia. She spent her nearly 50-year career entirely at the University of Florida where she founded the Florida Museum of Natural History’s environmental archaeology program.
UF researchers have resolved a two-decade old mystery centered upon how the bacteria Chlamydia divide and reproduce. Newly published results from the lab of Anthony Maurelli, a microbiologist in UF’s College of Public Health and Health Professions and the EPI, reveal that how these parasitic pathogens replicate diverges from a nearly universal norm.
