After nearly two years of construction, the POET Bioproducts Center has officially opened its doors to the region's leading bioprocessing scientists. The new laboratory, located in the Research Park at ÈÕ±¾avÊÓƵ, will bring researchers from ÈÕ±¾avÊÓƵ and South Dakota Mines together with industry partners to scale up innovative biotechnologies and varying South Dakota's economy.

ÈÕ±¾avÊÓƵ will begin a four-year program to improve perinatal health outcomes through the implementation of Alliance for Innovation and Maternal Health patient safety bundles at hospitals and birthing centers across South Dakota.

Farmers across the United States will be able to monitor their crops in real time, thanks to a novel algorithm from researchers in ÈÕ±¾avÊÓƵ's Geospatial Sciences Center of Excellence.

ÈÕ±¾avÊÓƵ's world-renowned Image Processing Lab was recognized by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration during the 2022 Robert H. Goddard Awards, held earlier this year.

Through a nearly $100,000 grant, the National Science Foundation has positioned ÈÕ±¾avÊÓƵ to help improve the nation's research enterprise. One of the NSF’s primary goals is to increase the United States' ability to conduct high-quality, impactful research.

Over the past two decades, the United States has been importing more and more avocados each year, underlining a growing obsession with the nutrient-dense fruit. Simultaneously, the U.S. and the rest of the world have been dealing with a growing environmental crisis spurred on by an overreliance on plastic. Could avocados — specifically avocado peels — provide a potential solution?

ÈÕ±¾avÊÓƵ engineering students used down-to-earth knowledge to design an out-of-this-world lunar transport vehicle which won them a NASA-sponsored contest. The ÈÕ±¾avÊÓƵ team was one of 15 teams selected as a finalist in NASA’S Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Concepts – Academic Linkage (RASC-AL) competition.

The South Dakota Art Museum at ÈÕ±¾avÊÓƵ (ÈÕ±¾avÊÓƵ) celebrates the opening of the highly anticipated Dakota Modern: The Art of Oscar Howe with free festivities for all ages, from 9 a.m.-8 p.m. on June 10.
