Today in the News Media is a synopsis of some of the most prominent coverage of OSU people and programs. Inclusion of any item constitutes neither an endorsement nor a critique, but rather is intended only to make the OSU community aware of significant items in the media.

“The U.S. does not have a national medical system or a system of universal health care,” Courtney Campbell, a professor at Oregon State University who teaches medical ethics, said in an email. “At least 25 million Americans do not have health care insurance coverage. Access to health care, including access to vaccines, thereby often is a commodity stratified by ability to pay rather than a public or communal good allocation by equality of need and risk profiles.”
A new study by Oregon State University researchers found that shade provided by solar panels increased the abundance of flowers under the panels and delayed the timing of their bloom, both findings that could aid the agricultural community. (see also ZME Science)
Bev Law, a professor emeritus at Oregon State University’s School of Forestry, said the external appearance of a burned tree is not a good way of judging whether it’s going to die and needs to be removed for public safety.
