Happy Saturday Vikings fans! We’re continuing our returning player announcements with #7, Corbin Benson! Benson is going into his senior year at Western where he is working toward a degree in Operations Management! The 5’6” center from Everett, WA is known for his offensive abilities both in the face-off circle as well as in front of the net. Benson’s speed and agility have proven him to be one of the Vikings biggest offensive threats and fans can expect more of the same out the play maker in the upcoming season. When asked what his favorite part of playing for Western is, Benson replied, “...being able to make a difference in the community through Western Athletics.” • Get excited Viking fans!!! We are only 28 days away from the start of the season! #RowViks🤘

A solution to climate change that leaves people behind isn't a real solution. Climate change and inequality are inextricably linked. To solve one, we must solve the other.

While this study doesn’t definitively prove air pollution causes mental illness, it does shows where a person might be at higher risk for bipolar disorder. Studies in London, China, and South Korea have similarly found a link between polluted places and mental health conditions as well. What do you think?

WWU's Outback Farm has launched a new VikingFunder project to raise funds for its teaching apiary (beehives). News stories about colony collapse disorder and the rapid decline of bees and other pollinator species are becoming increasingly common due to a complex combination of habitat loss, pesticides, and a parasite called the Varroa mite that infects beehives. This is a huge problem, as about one-third of our diet comes from insect-pollinated plants. University programs like the Outback apiary that combine research, hands-on learning, and an increase in pollinator habitat can help turn the tide.

Professor Manuel Montaño just published a new paper on the new technologies that will allow us to further understand the consequences of Environmental Nanoparticles. "Though many environmental processes occur at the nanoscale, our ability to monitor the nanogeochemical environment has been limited. However, recent advances in our ability to detect and characterize engineered nanoparticles, opens the door to exploring the nanoscale regime and gain a better understanding of contaminant transport, particle reactivity, and elemental cycling." Congratulations, Manuel! http://ow.ly/CDEe50vEKj1 #FacultyFriday
