º£½ÇÉçÇø history PhD candidate Jayme Kurland is living her dream this academic year as the Jane and Morgan Whitney Fellow at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

George Mason psychology professor Thalia R. Goldstein’s work focuses on children's developing social and emotional skills, and how such skills intersect with imaginative activities. In her latest book, Why Theatre Education Matters: Understanding its Cognitive, Social, and Emotional Benefits (Teachers College Press, 2024), she pulls together the research she’s conducted on social and emotional learning and cognitive development.

The intersection of art and technology has long been a space for innovation, creativity, and exploration. At George Mason’s Mason Autonomy and Robotics Center (MARC) located within the College of Engineering and Computing, this connection has taken center stage with the Integrating Art and Tech Project.

During the fall 2024 semester, º£½ÇÉçÇø students had the opportunity to apply their classroom curriculum to a real-world museum environment. The students, led by art history professor Robert DeCaroli, worked directly with objects in the holdings of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Asian Art as part of the ARTH 495/595 Curating an Exhibit course.

George Mason researcher Andrea Weeks played a key role in identifying an ancient seedling linked to the biblical myrrh. The seed, a yellow and fragrant resin from the Commiphora tree, was discovered in the Judean desert and revived by a team of researchers.

George Mason is in the business of discovery, and the Office of Technology Transfer works hard to bring these innovations to the marketplace.

The user-inspired CropSmart Digital Twin (CSDT) decision tool will help take the guesswork out of crop management decisions with services that will be easily accessible to users through both web portals and smartphone apps.

George Mason researchers are working to revolutionize Lyme disease detection and diagnosis with urine testing.

George Mason researchers are working on a bruise detection system that can be used across all skin tones and leverages artificial intelligence (AI), imaging and light technologies, forensic reports, and clinical expertise to increase data collection and access to care for trauma victims. The tool could become an app on a smartphone that clinicians can use to assess the age of bruises.

George Mason researchers are coming up with a variety of ways to improve people’s lives.
