Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Stony Brook University Professor Daniel Klein Receives a 2027 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Psychological Science (APS) (stonybrook.edu) — A longtime Stony Brook University psychology professor, Daniel Klein, has been honored with the Association for Psychological Science's 2027 Mentor Award for his decades of impactful teaching and guidance. His work on mood disorders and dedication to graduate training are highlighted as central to the department's strength, underscoring Stony Brook's growing national profile in psychological science and research mentorship.
• New Lunar Crater Offers Keys To Moon's Shallow Subsurface (idaho.gov) — A newly discovered lunar crater is giving scientists fresh insight into the Moon's shallow subsurface, and a Stony Brook University geosciences professor is helping explain why it matters. Timothy Glotch details how often such craters form and what their "cold spots" reveal, including implications for future lunar infrastructure and the need for new orbiters and seismic networks.
• Scientists were wrong about this strange mammal for nearly 40 years (sciencedaily.com) — New fossil evidence from Mongolia shows that mysterious mammals called zhelestids weren't early placentals after all, reshaping a decades-old view of mammal evolution—with key insight from a Stony Brook University paleontologist. Maureen O'Leary and colleagues used an exceptionally complete skeleton to reveal these "Cretaceous rabbits" belonged to a different lineage, highlighting both the Gobi Desert's importance and Stony Brook's role in global paleontology.
