TTUHSC student researchers recently participated in the university’s 37th Student Research Week, organized by the TTUHSC Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. The event allows TTUHSC students to showcase their research and hear presentations from distinguished national speakers related to the year’s theme. TTUHSC’s Department of Cell Physiology and Molecular Biophysics hosted the 2025 event, and “Let’s Get Biophysical” was the theme to highlight the host department's focus on biophysical techniques, particularly in membrane protein research. 

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT present extraordinary potential in promoting better language learning and teaching practice, such as timely feedback, ease of use, personalized support, simulations of the learning environment, and individualized recommendations on learning materials. However, a team of researchers in Hong Kong and Macao found that 45.9% of ChatGPT-generated feedback was rejected by second-language students, higher rejection rates for content-focused feedback (58.7%) than form-focused (41.3%).

Ventilation is an important process within the global ocean, where waters sink to deeper layers, are transported by deep currents, and eventually upwelled back to the surface. This process affects the distribution of oxygen and carbon in the global ocean by transporting these elements from the surface to deeper regions of the ocean. Scientists are still trying to understand the exact dynamics and circulation pathways that determine how dense, cold water from deep in the Gulf of Mexico gets circulated within the Gulf. Current theories suggest that deep water is transformed into intermediate water through small scale mixing which drives upwelling before flowing out of the Gulf through the Yucatán Channel.

The University of Texas at Arlington hosted 530 of the brightest minds from North Texas’ middle and high schools last month for the 74th Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair. The fair attracted more students than ever, with the number of participants increasing by more than 25% over 2024. Engineering remains a high-demand field, especially in Texas, where the economy and the population continue to grow.
