Sam Scarpino, director of AI and Life Sciences at Northeastern University, said the upcoming January may be worse, since flu cases are surging at higher rates this year, and COVID remains a problem.

The snake-inspired idea for a lunar robot, seen in this diagram, came from Northeastern University assistant professor Alireza Ramezani, who researches bio-inspired robot locomotion.

“This paper demonstrates the need for prioritizing tribal drinking water systems in future testing initiatives, as tribal systems are often undertested despite additional vulnerabilities for contamination,” said Phil Brown, co-author on the paper and a Northeastern University professor.

The program is a partnership between MaineHealth, the Roux Institute at Northeastern University and Northern Light Health. MaineHealth, headquartered in Portland, is Maine’s largest health care system and Maine’s largest private employer.

A 2015 research project by Northeastern University student Dixian Qui and civil engineering professor Peter Furth made the argument that the Bowker Overpass is unnecessary, even under traffic engineers’ traditional logic that prioritizes minimal amounts of delay for people in cars.

A research paper published in 2018 by Harvard and Northeastern University professors studied the illicit sale of firearms in Boston and found that the lowest street price for a used, old and decaying revolver was roughly $200 in 2018.

MaineHealth is making a $500,000 investment in health-tech innovation over the next three years by partnering with the Roux Institute at Northeastern University and Northern Light Health in The Future of Healthcare Founder Residency.

In Roxbury, a predominately Black neighborhood that Fernandes represents, the average life expectancy is roughly 78. Meanwhile, in Back Bay – a mostly white area – the average resident is expected to live up to 85, according to Northeastern University.

While there’s lots of interest in the eye-popping total number of guns in the US, “what matters is how these guns are distributed across people and households”, said Matthew Miller, a Northeastern University professor who specializes in firearm research, and what that distribution means for their increased risk of gun suicide, homicide or accidental injury.

According to the Roux Institute, the technology, engineering and computer science graduate school run by Northeastern University, the program will help accelerate growth in Maine’s healthcare technology industry.

“You know, it’s really hard to know when someone is doing something where they need silence,” said Kimberly Eddleston, a management professor at Northeastern University.

A 2020 study by Rutgers and Northeastern Universities showed how the more Americans were exposed to social media, the lower their trust in journalists and media organizations.
