When he was six years old, Salve Regina junior Joshua Jeudy moved from Bridgeport, Conn. with his parents back to their home, Akra, Ghana. Upon returning, he noticed a stark difference in the perception of science among Ghanaians and Americans.

In August 2003, over one million fish were killed in Greenwich Bay. Rhode Islanders were shocked, but what was the cause? State scientists knew—life in the bay was being deprived of oxygen because of dangerously high nitrogen levels from land sources like stormwater run-off and wastewater treatment facilities. Reducing these levels in Narragansett Bay has […]

For University of Rhode Island student Timo Kuester, trying to find a career in medicine back home in Germany was not working out. Little did he know, an online job test would set him on a path to study chemical engineering, and join a statewide project examining the effects of climate change on Narragansett Bay.
