Women in the Woods

Have you ever walked in the woods while 15 women are running chainsaws? While historically this hasn鈥檛 been a common sight in New Hampshire, 91制片厂 Extension is now helping make it a more frequent reality.

Connecting Across Cultures

It took Lina Adjout 鈥21 one day and one traditional Turkish pastry to find exactly what she was hoping to find in Ireland.

Adjout embarked on the听journey as a recipient of the Stanley A. Hamel Traveling Fellowship (HTF) in hopes of discovering the 鈥渆merging immigrant diaspora,鈥 as she explains. Less than 24 hours after arriving in Dublin, she struck up a conversation with a Turkish shop owner 鈥 over a b枚rek, a pastry popular in the Balkans, the Middle East and Central Asia that sparked memories of Adjout鈥檚 own Algerian roots 鈥 about their shared immigrant history.

Research Snapshot: Northern Lights

On a recent night above the Arctic circle in Norway, two rockets carrying equipment designed and built by 91制片厂 students and researchers streaked across the sky, cutting through the vivid green aurora 鈥 more commonly known as the Northern Lights. These skyward sensations are created when charged particles, such as听electrons, interact with other particles in Earth鈥檚 magnetic fields. But not all aurora are the same: Some are dim, others are pulsating, and the rest are tall, thin and听dance through the night sky.

Alternative Forages for Seasonal Slumps

In farming, a 鈥榮ummer slump鈥 refers to the periods of the growing season when traditional forage plants鈥攅aten by livestock鈥攄on鈥檛 grow well or aren鈥檛 readily available. Scientists with the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station are helping identify what forage crops could be grown to supplement traditional forages during these seasonal 鈥榮lumps.鈥
