Welcome to the Terra blog

Just as research raises new questions, Terra prompts responses from readers, and we have created this blog to share them. We welcome observations, ideas, experiences and opinions that add depth to the topics we address in Terra.

What issues get you going? Climate change, energy, public health, the aging process, sustainable business, education? As a magazine editor, I have had the privilege of a front-row seat on projects that tackle these and other topics. OSU faculty members and their students are doing remarkable things that benefit us all. The challenges are huge, but their stories give me hope.

These pages are open, but posts will be moderated. Not allowed: profanity, insults or topics unrelated to OSU research. If you’d like to post to the Terra blog, please include your full name, affiliation and contact information so we can verify the source of your post.
