Research Magazine Highlights Franklin Contributions

As a research institution, the University of Georgia is host to a bevy of researchers from all areas of academics--the arts, humanities and sciences.  Franklin College, a collection of 30 departments and an additional 30 institutes and centers, is the proud home of many of those research projects.  Each semester, the University’s research achievements and narratives are told via the campus publication Research Magazine.  The Spring/Summer 2014 issue has just been released and it’s  full of research from departments in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.

This issue serves to highlight just what a vast impact the arts and sciences has on the University at large.  Research on dementia and the origin of the thymus gland, books on Chilean politics and modern architecture and so much more are highlighted in the most recently released edition.  Don’t miss the feature on a unique project combining the art of dance, physics and animation or the opinion piece from UGA history professor James Cobb. There’s even an interview with Franklin College Associate Dean Noel Fallows on the sport of jousting.  

Each issue serves to highlight the importance of academic research on campus, but without the contributions of Franklin College researchers, the pool of research would be much smaller. Kudos to all who contribute to the large pool of research, but especially to the Franklin College researchers highlighted in this issue.  Congratulations are also in order to the magazine’s editorial team.  Campus research writers, graphic designers and host of others contribute to this magazine to make it happen each semester and the results are always worthwhile.  Take a look at the issue here.
