Abrupt climate shifts in the past offer warning for future (Scientific American)
In such a case, an alignment between the North Pacific and Greenland could be something to watch out for, said Summer Praetorius, a graduate student at Oregon State University and lead author of the study. The alignment would not necessarily indicate that a new world order is on the horizon, but it might signal interesting changes.
Blue whales being struck by ships (Science Magazine)
The study began in 1993 after Bruce Mate, a cetacean biologist at Oregon State University’s Marine Mammal Institute (MMI) in Newport, developed methods for attaching satellite tags to the backs of large baleen whales. The researchers approach a whale in a rigid inflatable boat and then deploy a tag designed to implant in cetacean skin from modified crossbows or compressed air guns, aiming for an area near the animal’s dorsal fin.

Rockstar parking, for a price (Inside Higher Ed)
But changing any of this, Jones said, tales quite a bit of commitment. Oregon State University just moved to demand-based parking, a move it made after parking caused a deterioration in the campus’s relationship with its non-university neighbors. “That political will from the highest level was absolutely critical,” Jones, whose firm worked on the plan, said. As result, Oregon State plans this fall to charge $100 a month for permits to its high-demand lots and $20 a month for its low-demand lots.

Men can be just as maternal as women, according to neuroscience (New Republic)
Oregon State University’s Sarina Saturn writes that this will one day be regarded as a landmark study. That is a little depressing—we shouldn’t need scientific research to tell us this. Yet she is right. (see also Pink News)

Three months of correspondence with the EPA (Inside Climate News)
When the EPA dismisses members of the media, it is dismissing the public—the people the agency is supposed to serve, said Michael Nelson, a professor of environmental ethics at Oregon State University. ”They are charged with protecting the public good, and the public is who they ultimately answer to,” he said. “There’s no way they’re acting on behalf of the public good unless there’s transparency and communication.” (see also the Center for Public Integrity)

Get help buying seafood straight off the boat with Oregon State Extension’s Shop at the Docks program (Oregonian)
When the crowd gathered on a bright Saturday afternoon at Port Dock 5, they came carrying ice-filled chests, cash and lots of questions. This was no typical sightseeing visit.

It’s all part of the Oregon State University Extension Service’s free Shop at the Dock program, an effort to help people take advantage of the opportunity to buy freshest food from the most local of sources.
The most famous novel ever written about Corvallis (Gazette-Times)
“A New Life” by Bernard Malamud is arguably the most famous novel written about Corvallis, written by the most famous novelist with city ties. It is celebrated in Corvallis despite the fact that its portrait of Oregon State University is a rather scathing one.
5 great places to retire without a car (The Street)
But the AARP put Corvallis among its 10 great cities for retirement largely because of its free public transportation system (11 bus routes), wealth of bike lanes and inexpensive real estate.

Monitoring Marine life in the Atlantic, from water and from orbit (WNPR)
When you think about researching the ocean, your mind probably doesn’t immediately jump to stuff orbiting the earth, but here’s something interesting: “A lot of people don’t realize that you can actually see marine organisms from space,” said Mike Behrenfeld, professor at Oregon State University, and one of several scientists involved in an experiment called SABOR.

Eat leafy vegetables to reset biological clock (Fresh Plaza)
Lipoic acid, found at higher levels in organ meats and leafy vegetables such as spinach and broccoli, may help reset and synchronise circadian rhythms or the “biological clock” found in most life forms, says a study. ”This could be a breakthrough in our understanding of why lipoic acid is so important and how it functions,” said Tory Hagen, a professor at the Oregon State University in the US.
The perils of sexy Facebook photos (BBC)

Solar powered cars roll into Wichita on leg of competition (Kansas.com)
“It’s counterintuitive,” said Sami Al-Abdrabbuh, a grad student at Oregon State University. “If there’s clouds, you speed up to the sun. If there’s sun, you slow down so you can get more sun. You want to increase your exposure.” Although the vehicles are capable of reaching 100 mph, the average speed is about 50 mph, said Abhishek Raol, a driver from Oregon State. It’s not too hot inside the car, Raol said, because he’s too focused on the road.

The Commonwealth Games and the importance of spectacle (British Psychological Society)
Research published in the Journal of Media Psychology at the start of last year found that while supporters enjoy cheering on one person more than the other, their enjoyment is not impacted if he or she is defeated, provided the game offers plenty of excitement. Led by Colleen Bee, Assistant Professor of Marketing at Oregon State University, the study pointed to the Olympics as a good example of this behaviour, with onlookers taking pleasure from an event even if the person or individual they are rooting for is unsuccessful.
Young girls run way to self confidence (Oregonian)

Reser is Corvallis’ arena for the thrill of victory and… (Gazette-Times)

Goats the go-to animal for weed reduction (Statesman Journal)
There are one or two companies in the Pacific Northwest that use goats for weed control. GOAT Power, featuring master shepherdess Briana Murphy, is the one I’m familiar with.

While the findings may not be what the investigators were hoping for, they reported them fully and openly, and this is good for the field, said Brian Flay, a professor of public health and director of the Research Prevention Center at Oregon State University. Science can advance properly only when both positive and negative findings are reported.
Jefferson Avenue trees provide towering, shady canopy (Gazette-Times)
The magnificent canopy of London Plane sycamore trees, which nearly forms a tunnel up Southwest Jefferson Avenue, were no accident of nature. The lineup of 36 trees, which runs on both sides of Jefferson from Fifth Street to Ninth Street, with additional trees on the south side of Jefferson between Third and Fourth, represents a labor of love for two Oregon State University professors.
Should we charge more for coveted parking spaces? (Fast Coexist)
Unable or unwilling to pay to continue to build more and more spaces, and also concerned with their campus environmental footprint, schools like Oregon State University and the University of Pennsylvania are starting to introduce a pricing system called on “demand-based parking,” in which the best spots cost the most. The idea is to charge enough that people will have more incentive to use public transit or ride a bike. This fall, Oregon State will begin charging $100 a month for permits to high-demand lots.

Corvallis is home to this pretty, pleasing cherry (Gazette-Times)
We can’t be sure just when the phrase “Pretty please with a cherry on the top” came into vogue, but it was after 1920, and it had a lot to do with the inventiveness of a horticulture professor by the name of Ernest H. Wiegand and food scientists at an agricultural college that’s now Oregon State University.
