Four UC Riverside students and alumni have earned National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships, one of the nation’s most competitive honors for emerging researchers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Over three days, participants stepped into the role of future faculty, presenting research, engaging with academic leaders, and navigating the complexities of the faculty hiring process.

Fake news can be tricky to spot, but spotting fake drugs just got a little easier. UC Riverside researchers have devised a low-cost way to help distinguish legitimate medications from counterfeit ones. 

Researchers have identified a network of connections between the brainstem and spinal cord that enables people to grasp, hold, and manipulate objects. The discovery could guide new stroke therapies.
