Congratulations to Douglas Storace, an assistant professor in @fsubio and @FSUNeuroscience, who received a 2026 Faculty Early Career Development Award, or CAREER Award, from @NSF! The award — one of the most prestigious honors available to early career faculty — will support Storace's research into how olfactory cues are transformed into meaningful information that shapes perception, allowing for the recognition of food, mates and even threats.

This week, @FAMUFSUCOE welcomed representatives from the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory (@T2COM_HQ, @USArmy) to the @NationalMagLab and @FloridaState's new Interdisciplinary Research and Commercialization Building to learn more about innovative research being conducted in Tallahassee! The visit kicked off with introductions from FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Dean Suvranu De, @FSUartssciences Dean Sam Huckaba, @FAMU_1887 SVP for Health Science Enterprise Robert Nobles, Jr., MagLab Director Kathleen Amm, and FSU VP for Research Stacey Patterson. The two-day workshop included a tour of the FSU-headquartered, @NSF-funded National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, as well as presentations from leading faculty experts across engineering, quantum science, chemistry and biochemistry, biological science, physics and more. ✏️ To learn more about the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, visit eng.famu.fsu.edu. 🧲 To learn more about the lab, visit nationalmaglab.org. 💻 For more from the FSU College of Arts and Sciences, tap the #LinkInBio.

“I consider my work as part of the life cycle of humanity, and I want this to help us care for each other,” said Dev Sangha, a junior in @fsubio. Nearly half of all American adults have some form of heart disease — the leading cause of death for adults annually in the U.S. 🫀 Sangha conducts research on heart health, incorporating innovation and accessibility in hopes of advancing care that can improve the lives of millions. Sangha is part of @FloridaState's Solís Laboratory, led by Christopher Solís, an assistant professor in @fsuannescollege.
