In addition to these new excavations, the team also undertook new analyses of the bone fragments from the old Ranis collection (1932 to 1938 excavations), which are curated and stored at the State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology Saxony-Anhalt in Germany. This included a study where the bones were examined one by one to potentially identify human remains. “This painstaking work was rewarded by the discovery of several new human bones,” said Hélène Rougier, a palaeoanthropologist at California State University Northridge. “Finding human remains mixed with animal bones that had been stored for almost a century was an unexpected and fantastic surprise,” she added. Further work on these collections is ongoing by Hélène Rougier and researchers from the State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology Saxony-Anhalt and highlights the enormous value of museum collections. -- National Tribune

To CFA members, the agreement simply begins to close a gap on wages that has been widening for years. Antonio Gallo, an adjunct faculty lecturer at CSU Northridge and a CFA officer, said the average CSUN lecturer earns about $54,000 while teaching a full load of classes, often five per semester. Class sizes, too, have swelled from 28 or 30 several years ago to 40 or more now, he said. -- The Californian

"Producing microscopic components usually requires a highly technical fabrication process, but we found that optical tweezers can be used to precisely control the position of individual bacteria or clusters of bacteria," said research team leader Anna Bezryadina from California State University Northridge. "This allows us to influence the growth patterns of bacterial structures on a microscopic level with high precision." -- Mirage News

According to Prof. Melissa Weininger (California State University, Northridge) who co-chairs the program, "a big component of the Hyman Mentorship Program is fostering community and connection within our mentorship cohort, between mentors, mentees, and the steering committee, as well as between mentees themselves." Thanks to the support of the Austria Centre Leiden, the relaxed social gathering which took place in a stunning restaurant on the top floor of the conference hotel encouraged "multidirectional mentoring networks" and, simply, good conversation. -- Mirage News
