A new study from the University of Iowa finds companies lose market share when they don’t have enough access to the capital they need to compete.

UI researchers believe they may have identified a potential approach for preventing the development of neurological problems associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Their research in mice suggests that protecting axons—the fiber-like projections that connect brain cells—prevents the long-term neuropsychiatric problems caused by blast-related TBI.

Within the fields of history and journalism, the use of geographic information systems (GIS) has greatly changed the way we visualize, understand, and analyze racial bias within the United States and around the globe. One such project, by UI history professor Colin Gordon, receives recognition in Forbes.

The University of Iowa has partnered with a federal agency to conduct a series of workshops across the country aimed at helping secondary school STEM teachers introduce innovation and entrepreneurship concepts into their teaching.
