Coral reef research honors
|

Bradford Dimos, a third-year doctoral student in biology, earned two awards for his research about coral reefs from the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology.

Document your coronavirus time

The UTA Libraries needs your help documenting the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the community.
It is looking to collect digital and physical materials (such as diaries, journals, photos, videos, social media posts, and artwork) that faculty and staff have created during or in response to the pandemic. Additionally, oral histories can be done remotely.
These would be added to UTA's permanent archival collections.
