| MSU's Shmulsky honored with distinguished wood science service award | |
 | According to an MSU press release, the 24th International Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation of Wood Symposium recently honored Mississippi State faculty member Rubin Shmulsky with its Distinguished Service Award. The Warren S. Thompson Professor of Wood Science and Technology in MSU's Forest and Wildlife Research Center, Shmulsky, is being honored for his impactful research and leadership in wood science and engineering. He was recognized at the Vicksburg symposium last month, cohosted by MSU's Department of Sustainable Bioproducts and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Products Laboratory. Kevin Ragon, associate professor in MSU's sustainable bioproducts department and member of the nominating committee, noted Shmulsky's extensive knowledge and dedication to the field. "I'm humbled to receive this recognition. Nondestructive testing and evaluation have major implications and opportunities for adding value to Mississippi forestland, timber and lumber and making forest products last longer," Shmulsky said. "MSU has a strong commitment to this effort, and I'm beyond proud to spend my career working with a great team that continues to move these efforts forward." |
| MSU-led horticulture mechanization study to streamline inventory for growers | |
| Sources from an MSU Press Release say that growing high-demand ornamentals and specialty crops is a time and labor-intensive profession requiring constant monitoring of inventory and health, while also handling routine maintenance. A Mississippi State scientist is looking to the sky for solutions to these ground-level tasks. Patricia Knight, director of coastal horticulture research at MSU's Coastal Research and Extension Center and scientist in the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, is exploring how drone technology and artificial intelligence, or AI, might help growers save time and money on labor-intensive tasks. She has partnered to test cost-effective, industry-ready solutions with Siva Kumpatla, research leader for the USDA Agricultural Research Service's Thad Cochran Southern Horticultural Laboratory, and Prabha Sundaravadivel, associate professor of electrical engineering at the University of Texas-Tyler. "It's important to have an accurate inventory, but during the active shipping season, that gets pushed to the side," said Knight, also a research professor in MSU's Department of Plant and Soil Sciences. "Sending out a drone to count while your staff is busy with more immediate tasks could help you avoid selling plants you don't have." |
| MSU researchers nationally recognized for best NIDILRR-funded paper | |
| Sources from an MSU press release say that three Mississippi State researchers have earned national recognition as recipients of the Best Research Paper Award from NARRTC...Sources from an MSU press release say that three Mississippi State researchers have earned national recognition as recipients of the Best Research Paper Award from NARRTC, an association dedicated to federally funded disability and rehabilitation research. The award-winning team includes Michele McDonnall, director of MSU's National Research and Training Center on Blindness and Low Vision, or NRTC; Karla Antonelli, NRTC research scientist; and Emily Marett, instructor in MSU's College of Business. NARRTC, which recently changed its name to the Alliance for NIDILRR Grantees, represents organizations and individuals who have received grants from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research. "We are thrilled to receive this national honor for our research," McDonnall said. "We appreciate the funding that NIDILRR has provided to help us conduct research to improve employment opportunities for people who are blind or have low vision." |
| MSU researcher, Partnership Middle School students collaborate on climate science literacy podcast | |
| According to a press release, Mississippi State Assistant Professor Lourdes Cardozo-Gaibisso is immersing local middle school students in climate science literacy exploration through podcasting, helping them share experiences, ask questions and engage with environmental issues affecting their communities. Part of SEMILLAS: Sowing Environmental Multilingualism, Integrating Learning, Linguistics and Action in Science, the $427,478 project is funded through the Gulf Research Program of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine's Empowering K-8 Youth Through Place-Based Education Projects and Programs. Cardozo-Gaibisso, a linguistics and TESOL faculty member, serves as co-principal investigator with Ayça Fackler of the University of Missouri. They collaborate on the project with Starkville Oktibbeha Consolidated School District's Partnership Middle School. Two recent MSU College of Arts and Sciences graduates assisted with podcast production logistics: Matthew Lentz of Vilonia, Arkansas, who earned a bachelor's degree in professional meteorology with minors in mathematics and sociology, and Jacob Matkin of Tupelo, who earned a bachelor's degree in anthropology with a minor in geospatial technologies. |
| Mobile camera units using AI coming to Mississippi roadways | |
 | The Mississippi Department of Public Safety is deploying cameras using artificial intelligence to actively monitor roadways across the state. The Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services Board approved a sole source contract with Acusensus Inc. on Thursday to lease mobile, multi-violation detection, and real-time enforcement systems. DPS can now execute the contract. DPS plans to utilize the technology to monitor and predetermine problematic roadway locations that need additional surveillance. Major Scott Henley with DPS told the ITS Board that the system would be deployed in high crash corridor areas where officers cannot routinely work due to construction zones or other impediments to patrolling. House Ways and Means Chairman Trey Lamar (R) told Magnolia Tribune Thursday that while he was just learning about the new technology, "our citizens right to privacy is very important." "I expect the Legislature to investigate the use of these cameras to ensure that the constitutional rights of our citizens is not infringed upon," Lamar said. His colleague in the House, State Rep. Dan Eubanks (R) agreed. "Cameras armed with AI, peering into your car and processing your actions, invading your privacy, and then signaling a live officer down the road to pull you over and issue citations and/or make arrests in real time. It's a very slippery slope with frightening ramifications," Eubanks said. |
| Hyde-Smith, Schiff Introduce Food Supply Chain Resilience Legislation to Expand Markets for Ag Producers | |
| U.S. Senators Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) today introduced legislation to strengthen the resilience of the U.S. food supply chains and expand markets for agricultural producers, particularly small and mid-sized operations. The American Food Supply Chain Resiliency Act, which is also cosponsored by U.S. Senators Jim Justice (R-W.Va.) and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), is intended to cultivate a more resilient, competitive supply chain by helping to create new markets for local and regional foods, as well as for small and diversified producers. Specifically, the legislation would make the USDA Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure (RFSI) Program permanent and create a Regional Food Systems Hubs (RFSH) Program. "Making the RSFI permanent will give states greater certainty to make long-term investments that strengthen food supply chains and benefit producers and consumers," Hyde-Smith said. "Mississippi has been very effective in using its RFSI grants statewide to build out pathways to get food our producers grow from farm to market. The RFSI, combined with the regional hubs, provides the incentives for producers and policymakers to do what needs to be done to get more locally produced agricultural products a broader market." RFSI is also a tool for Mississippi State University's Vision 2030 initiative, a joint effort to align research, resources, and public and private sector efforts to highlight the economic value leaving Mississippi's agriculture and forestry industries each year and find ways to keep more of that value in the state. |
| Some GOP senators and Trump allies have harsh reviews of his agreement to end Iran war | |
 | Republican leaders on Capitol Hill, including top national security figures, were voicing strong reservations Thursday -- and some outright condemnation -- of the Trump administration's agreement to end the fighting in Iran. The memorandum of understanding signed by President Donald Trump started a 60-day negotiating clock to reach a final deal on the future of Iran's nuclear program. While Trump allies noted the agreement is not final, the lifting of economic sanctions on Iran's sale of oil and the plan for a $300 billion fund to rebuild Iran and its economy were met with criticism from Republican leaders and conservative influencers, including some close Trump supporters. "President Trump has pursued peace through strength. I hope the intermediaries working on this deal are not undermining that objective," said Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who has urged Trump to keep up the pressure on Iran and last month warned against striking a bad deal. "The $300 billion fund for the reconstruction and economic development of Iran -- though not funded by U.S. taxpayers -- would make Iran's payoff under President Obama's 2015 deal look like a pittance by comparison," Wicker said, referring to the Democratic administration's Iran agreement that Trump withdrew from during his first term. |
| Senate Republicans in somber, pessimistic mood over Trump deal with Iran | |
 | President Trump's deal to lift sanctions on Iran and give it access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund has cast a glum mood over the Senate Republican Conference, with GOP senators saying that many of their colleagues are in "dismay" and "somber" over the cost of the agreement. Trump's most vocal MAGA allies on Capitol Hill are defending the agreement as a potential breakthrough that could finally end Iran's nuclear enrichment program. But many more GOP senators are skeptical about reaching any real agreement with Iran, arguing that the United States doesn't seem to have any real leverage in the talks. Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) on Thursday blasted the deal "as completely out of step with the president's goals" of neutralizing the threat Iran poses to U.S. national security interests. Wicker said that Iran's theocratic regime hasn't renounced its slogan of "Death to America, Death to Israel" and would "invest every penny it receives to further that aim." |
| As Juneteenth is celebrated across the US, Obama's presidential center opens in Chicago | |
| As people gather across the U.S. to celebrate Juneteenth on Friday, former President Barack Obama's presidential center will open its doors to the public for the first time. Located on a sprawling campus on Chicago's South Side, the center for the nation's first Black president has been designed to inspire people to make the change they want to see in their own communities. It's the kind of contemplation that also comes as Americans gather for Juneteenth, which celebrates the end of slavery in the U.S. "Juneteenth represents not just a commemoration of the end of slavery but it's also part of the ongoing struggle for absolute equality and that ideal in American life," said W. Caleb McDaniel, a Rice University professor and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book "Sweet Taste of Liberty." This is the fifth year since Juneteenth was designated as a federal holiday by former President Joe Biden, who served as Obama's vice president. But the celebrations, which began in Texas and then spread across the country, have a rich and long history in Black America, with the day often spent gathering for picnics and cookouts. |
| Budget for Mississippi universities increases 14%, now up to nearly $6.7 billion | |
| Funding for Mississippi's eight public universities was discussed Thursday by the Board of Trustees for the Institutions of Higher Learning. After a recap of the suggestions made by the National Center for Higher Education Systems, the group hired by IHL to provide a performance-based funding model, the Board discussed the operating budget for the coming fiscal year and heard recommendations from Senior Associate Commissioner for Finance John Pearce. This coming year's total operating budget will be $6.69 billion, which is a 14% increase over fiscal year 2026, Pearce told the IHL Board. Of that total, about $964.2 million is from state and federal appropriations. "The largest bucket funding is for the University of Mississippi Medical Center, which continues to become an increasingly large part of the system's budget, followed by the education and general budget, which is the education mission of the eight universities, and then followed by the restricted research funds provided from the federal government primarily," Pearce explained. |
| Inside LSU's deal with 'next-generation' Hyundai Steel mill, largest industry agreement in school history | |
 | The $5.8 billion Hyundai steel mill in Ascension Parish will be, by all accounts, colossal. It will import 3.6 million tons of iron ore and produce 2.7 million tons of steel, according to a press release from Louisiana Economic Development. It will create 1,300 jobs on the site. It will rely on a state-of-the-art electric arc furnace to melt steel with electrical currents at thousands of degrees Fahrenheit -- a far cry from traditional steelmaking. And now, under a new research agreement announced this week, LSU is throwing its weight behind the mega project. "This does represent, I think, a new beginning for us in the research office to sign a master research agreement of this magnitude, of this importance, of this significance," Robert Twilley, LSU vice president for research and economic development, said. "It matches our research enterprise, the entire research enterprise of LSU, with one of the largest industrial investments that's been made in Louisiana." "If you look over the 10-year time, you could be talking about $50 to $100 million in research that might come up," LSU Chancellor Jim Dalton said. "That would be an aspirational goal for us." Dalton called the deal "the most comprehensive industry agreement partnership in LSU's history." |
| Fight Over U. of Florida Presidency Escalates as Statewide Board Postpones Vote on Stuart Bell | |
 | The fight over who will be the next president of the University of Florida is growing hotter. The Florida Board of Governors on Thursday postponed a vote to consider Stuart Bell as the flagship's next leader, according to a letter from its chair, Alan Levine, the Miami Herald reports. Levine alleged in the letter that Mori Hosseini, chair of the University of Florida's Board of Trustees, may have engaged in practices "that are within the purview of a president." He said the board wouldn't consider Bell until his governance concerns are addressed. The university quickly responded with an unorthodox action of its own. Rahul Patel, chair of the presidential search committee and vice chair of the Board of Trustees, said in a statement that the university would move to name Bell interim president "so that the university can continue moving forward." He criticized Levine's decision to delay the vote as "concerning" and unfair to Bell, who was announced as the sole finalist for the position in May and unanimously approved by trustees in Gainesville this month. |
| Nathan A. Moore named chief of staff to UGA president | |
| University of Georgia President Jere W. Morehead has appointed Nathan A. Moore as his chief of staff, effective July 1. Moore currently serves as deputy chief of staff to the president, a role he has held since October 2023. Moore succeeds Kathy R. Pharr, who will step down as chief of staff after 13 years of service in the position and six in the dual role of chief of staff and vice president for marketing and communications. Beginning July 1, Pharr will continue to serve as the vice president for marketing and communications and become senior advisor to the president. Moore earned his bachelor's degree in political science and a master's degree in public policy and administration from Mississippi State University. He earned a graduate certificate in nonprofit management from Harvard University and holds a Ph.D. from the Louise McBee Institute of Higher Education at the University of Georgia. Prior to joining UGA as a doctoral student in 2015, Moore held several roles at Mississippi State University, including director of corporate and foundation relations and director of development for the MSU College of Architecture, Art and Design. |
| TCU's Roach Institute of Athlete Engineering Launches With $10M Foundation Gift | |
| Fort Worth's Texas Christian University launched the Roach Institute of Athlete Engineering on Tuesday with an event at the Legends Club at Amon G. Carter Stadium. The interdisciplinary institute will study how athletes, military personnel, and workers in physically demanding jobs "train, perform, and recover in high-pressure environments," TCU said. The institute is being funded by a $10 million gift from The Roach Foundation of Fort Worth. The launch was announced by Chancellor Daniel W. Pullin at TCU's inaugural Global Human Performance Forum, which brought together researchers, industry leaders, and practitioners to discuss the future of human performance research. The institute will advance the practice of Athlete Engineering, a discipline founded by Reuben F. Burch V, TCU's vice provost for research. The discipline revolves around the belief that performance is "shaped less by the individual than by the surrounding system, including the interaction of people, technology, environments, teams and systems," TCU said. Burch developed Athlete Engineering over more than a decade at Mississippi State University before joining TCU in 2025. The institute's director will be Jim Weinstein, Ph.D., RD, CSSD, FAND, a nutrition scientist and board-certified sports dietitian who retired as a colonel after a 28-year Air Force career and most recently served as deputy director of Athlete Engineering at Mississippi State. |
| Texas college watchdog received nearly 70 complaints, opened one investigation, records show | |
| A new state office received 69 complaints about Texas universities, including allegations of banned DEI initiatives, restrictions on conservative speech and interference in academic affairs. All but one complaint was closed without investigation, records obtained by The Texas Tribune show. The Office of the Ombudsman's only investigation opened during its first five months examined whether an academic assistance program violated the state's ban on diversity, equity and inclusion by censoring conservative speech while encouraging liberal political speech and antisemitic speech, according to the records. The student who filed the complaint alleged he was terminated from his position as a student instructor after raising those concerns with supervisors. The investigation remained ongoing as of June 11. Gov. Greg Abbott appointed Brandon Simmons, a former Texas Southern University regent, as the state's first higher education ombudsman last year. The office is housed within the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Simmons' office deemed 28 complaints as harassing, profane, "obviously fake" or invalid because they lacked a legitimate name or email address. Others involved more substantive disputes but did not lead to investigations. |
| Texas A&M Partners to Advance Development of Small Modular Nuclear Reactor at RELLIS Campus | |
| The Texas A&M University System announced that it's partnering with Charlotte, North Carolina-based Terrestrial Energy to advance the development of its planned small modular reactor at the Texas A&M-RELLIS campus in Bryan. The ground lease and research agreements give Terrestrial Energy site control over approximately 77 acres at A&M-RELLIS and support site characterization, environmental evaluations, testing, and research activity connected to the company's Integral Molten Salt Reactor. "President Trump has made clear that America needs to move faster to develop the next generation of nuclear energy," Chairman of the A&M Board of Regents Robert Albritton said in a statement. "Texas is ready to help lead that work. At the RELLIS campus, the A&M System has the land, research capacity and workforce mission to help move important energy technologies into the commercial world. This work can strengthen our state, our economy and our national security." The news follows an announcement last December that the A&M System and Austin-based Last Energy plan to build a pilot microreactor at the Texas A&M–RELLIS campus. Testing on the project was slated to begin this summer. |
| Texas A&M University at Galveston is Home to Juneteenth Freedom Bell | |
| On June 19, 1865, over two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger of the Union Army arrived in Galveston and announced that all enslaved individuals were to be freed. The day would become known as Juneteenth. Granger's first reading of General Order 3, enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation, occurred 900 days after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect with the stroke of President Lincoln's pen on January 1, 1863, 71 days after Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia on April 9, 1865, and 17 days after Confederate General E. Kirby Smith negotiated the official surrender of the Trans-Mississippi Department aboard the U.S.S. Fort Jackson in Galveston Bay on June 2, 1865. Juneteenth celebrations have been held in various regions since the 1865 announcement. At Texas A&M University at Galveston, one way that Juneteenth is remembered is through a Freedom Bell on display in the Jack K. Williams Library. The Freedom Bell was commissioned by Texas A&M University's Department of Architecture and was initially unveiled in 2021 before arriving on the Galveston Campus in 2025. |
| Federal agencies roll out $125M in grants for university ag research | |
| USDA and the Department of Education on Monday announced $125 million in annual funding to improve agricultural research facilities at land‑grant universities and other colleges of agriculture. Entities receiving the grants must match the federal dollars one‑to‑one. The grants will be awarded in tiers ranging from $100,000 to $30 million and will cover projects from needs assessments to construction of new research facilities. A 2015 study by the Association of Public and Land‑grant Universities and Sightlines found that campus buildings receiving USDA funding faced $8.4 billion in deferred maintenance, resulting in a 29% loss in asset value. "A nation that cannot feed itself is not secure, and for too long, many of our land‑grant universities have faced aging facilities and mounting deferred maintenance costs that threaten their ability to conduct world‑class agricultural research," Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in a news release. |
| APLU Hails $125 Million Investment in Agricultural Research Facilities | |
| Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) President Waded Cruzado today applauded the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins and U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon for announcing the opening of an application period for $125 million in grants to address decades of deferred maintenance and accelerate modernization of agricultural research facilities. The announcement came following a meeting the cabinet secretaries hosted yesterday at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's headquarters with APLU leaders and more than two dozen land-grant university presidents. "We greatly appreciate U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Rollins and U.S. Secretary of Education McMahon for hosting a roundtable for public and land-grant university leaders and for their efforts to advance agricultural innovation at land-grant universities across the country," said APLU President Waded Cruzado. |

| College sports bill clears a key Senate hurdle despite SEC, Big Ten opposition | |
| A bill that top lawmakers and athletic leaders have described as the best chance to stabilize college sports cleared a key vote in the Senate on Thursday with bipartisan support after weeks of input from schools, conferences and athletes. The bipartisan Protect College Sports Act aims to regulate payments to players, limit them to one free transfer over their careers and create a rule to restrict coaches from changing jobs during a season. It advanced out of the Senate Commerce Committee on a 19-9 vote and now heads to the full Senate for consideration. Thursday's vote came hours after the Southeastern Conference and Big Ten Conference, the two most powerful in college sports, reiterated their position that "revisions are needed to secure our support for the bill." Several senators who voted against it cited concerns raised by the two conferences, which could spell trouble for its chances. Support and opposition for the bill does not fall neatly along party lines, reflecting the national reach of SEC and Big Ten schools and broader divisions in Congress. Some of the senators who voted against the bill represent states that are home to prominent SEC and Big Ten programs, including Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, a Democrat, and Republican Sens. Todd Young of Indiana and Roger Wicker of Mississippi. "Universities in Mississippi and around the SEC are concerned that some further progress needs to be made on the media rights," Wicker told the AP. |
| Senate Commerce advances college sports package | |
 | The Senate Commerce Committee advanced legislation Thursday that would aim to put new guardrails on the multibillion-dollar college sports industry. It marks a victory for the panel's bipartisan leaders who have been working for weeks to assert the dominance of their proposal against a similar, stalled bill in the House. Senate Commerce Chair Ted Cruz (R-Texas) reiterated he wanted the measure signed into law before the start of the coming academic year and that Senate Majority Leader John Thune has committed to putting the package on the floor for a vote. "I believe when we pass this with a big bipartisan vote, it will go to the House with momentum, and I believe the House will take it up and pass it," Cruz told reporters after the markup. But the final, 19-9 vote in committee, with seven Democrats and two Republicans opposing, signals Cruz and the bill's co-sponsor, Commerce ranking member Maria Cantwell of Washington, still have more work to do to build consensus. Back in the Senate, some members of the Commerce Committee, including Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, acknowledged Thursday they were voting to advance the bill with some reluctance in hopes that there would be changes before floor consideration is scheduled. |
| Protect College Sports Act headed to Senate for full vote | |
| A sweeping federal bill to reshape college sports is headed to the Senate floor, marking the first time during a yearslong effort that the full U.S. Senate will have the opportunity to vote on a proposed solution to some of the issues facing the college sports industry. The Protect College Sports Act, spearheaded by Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), would provide the NCAA with an antitrust exemption so that it could enforce a cap on payments to athletes as well as rules related to eligibility and transfers in college sports. It also creates an opportunity for schools to sell their media rights as one large entity rather than on a conference-by-conference basis, which is intended to help fund less profitable sports and close the significant financial gap between most of college sports and its two biggest conferences, the SEC and Big Ten. The Senate Commerce Committee voted 19-9 on Thursday morning to move the bill forward to a full Senate vote. The details of the proposal are still subject to change. Its path to becoming a federal law remains an uphill battle, with the bill facing a time crunch ahead of November's elections and opposition on several fronts. Most notably, leaders from the SEC and Big Ten say they oppose the bill as it stands now. |
| Protect College Sports Act moves out of Senate committee, with SEC, Big Ten still opposed | |
 | A Senate bill that would regulate college sports and provide antitrust protections to the NCAA and major conferences advanced out of a key committee Thursday by a bipartisan 19-9 vote. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (S.D.-R) can now bring the bill to the floor for a vote. Changes can still be made before it gets there -- if it gets there. A House bill called the SCORE Act advanced through committee last year but never got to the floor for a vote, running into various hurdles. The Protect College Sports Act has drawn the support of the White House and from a wide range of parties across college sports, including NCAA president Charlie Baker. The SEC and Big Ten, the wealthiest college conferences, have withheld their endorsements, concerned the legislation would unfairly limit their potential growth and ability to fully control their media rights. Even with the revisions, the SEC and Big Ten remain holdouts. Notably, the two Republicans who voted no were Roger Wicker from Mississippi and Todd Young from Indiana. Mississippi has two schools in the SEC (Ole Miss and Mississippi State) and Indiana two in the Big Ten (Indiana and Purdue). |
| The Big Ten and SEC don't like the college sports bill in Congress. Can they break away? | |
| The Protect College Sports Act took a step forward Thursday with a Senate committee approval. Plenty of potential pitfalls remain ahead, including opposition from the Big Ten and Southeastern conferences. The two most powerful conferences in college sports made clear that "revisions are needed to secure our support" for a bill designed to stabilize college sports. The opposition has renewed speculation that the two leagues and their 34 schools stretching from coast to coast will split from the NCAA and form a super league. U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Washington, has heard the concerns about the Big Ten and SEC breaking away. "We are interested in them understanding an economic future where there is more revenue for everybody and there is an upside," Cantwell said. "But if the discussion is we just want to hold everybody else back and being king of the hill, I think that's where they'll run into trouble." The potential for leagues breaking away and consolidating seeming inevitable keeps growing for a simple reason. "The economics are simply pointing in that direction," said sports law professor Michael LeRoy at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. |
