The National Strategic Research Institute has received a $24.5 million award from the Defense Health Agency to advance development of an acute radiation syndrome prophylactic. The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s David Berkowitz, Patrick Dussault, Tomas Helikar, Massimiliano Pierobon and Robert Powers are part of the project. Straight Arrow News published a Jan. 10 story on the project.
Kelsy Burke, sociology, was interviewed for a Jan. 29 article in The 19th on states passing age verification laws for people to access pornography online. The laws are the “latest strategy in a long battle” against pornography, she said. “One of the things that’s important to point out is that it is already illegal to distribute sexual material to minors,” she said. “So in some ways, these age verification laws are attempting to provide a mechanism to enforce laws that are already out there.”
