News of the coronavirus began to make waves across the Pacific to the United States in early 2020. At the time, it seemed like a distant anomaly that many Penn Staters likely didnât consider. Ultimately, the pandemic would go on to shape and change many studentsâ experiences at the university.
Hereâs how Penn State has been impacted by the pandemic over the past year.
March 11, 2020: The university announced in-person classes would be suspended and campus would close until April 3 following spring break. Many students believed the pandemic would only have a minor impact on the semester.
March 18, 2020: A week later, Penn State passed its decision to extend virtual classes until the end of the spring 2020 semester. Students would adapt to lectures and classwork through Zoom.

USDA grant to support expansion of online tool for pollinator conservation
April 14, 2021
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. A Penn State-led research team has received a nearly $950,000 U.S. Department of Agriculture grant to create the next generation of an online decision-support tool designed to help conserve pollinator populations across the United States.
USDA s National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded the funding under its Food and Agriculture Cyberinformatics and Tools grant program, which supports projects aimed at enabling research and stakeholder communities to leverage data and technologies to improve management of U.S. food

Abstract:
Reactive molecules, such as free radicals, can be produced in the body after exposure to certain environments or substances and go on to cause cell damage. Antioxidants can minimize this damage by interacting with the radicals before they affect cells.
