* Robert Dion Interviewed by Radio Canada about Presidential Debate

The first presidential debate of the 2020 election attracted a large audience in the United States, and it also drew the attention of many people in other nations all over the world.

On the morning after the debate, political science professor Robert Dion was interviewed live (and in French) on Radio Canada's morning show, "Y a pas deux matins pareils" to help explain the importance of this debate for the presidential campaign.

The Department of Law, Politics, and Society is proud of its long record of combining an appreciation of civic knowledge and engagement with an understanding of and concern for the world beyond our borders, whether that is the East Midlands, South Korea, or our neighbors to the north.

* Get your flu shot and be a #FluFighter!

Getting a flu shot is an important step for protecting yourself and your fellow Aces from getting the flu this season. With COVID-19 still a concern and living in a residential community, this precaution becomes more important than ever, especially as it can help keep valuable resources available to those with COVID-19.

Flu shots are not required by the University, but strongly recommended. This year, flu shots are FREE for all students, as well as employees and their dependents enrolled in UE health insurance. Employees not covered by UE health insurance may receive a flu shot for $20. You always have the option to get your flu shot from your primary care provider or choose the best location or provider for your health.

Congratulations

* Nicholas Harmon publishes in Journal of Applied Physics

Dr. Harmon, with collaborators from U. of Iowa and Penn. State U, published an article entitled "Extraction of Isotropic Electron-Nuclear Hyperfine Coupling Constants of Paramagnetic Point Defects from Near-Zero Field Magnetoresistance Spectra via Least Squares Fitting to Models Developed from the Stochastic Quantum Liouville Equation". The theory + experiment paper used a new technique (Near Zero Field Magnetoresistance) to measure coupling between electron and nuclei of defects at interfaces of two technologically relevant devices. Dr. The success of the model in explaining the data is promising for the technique's utility as an alternative to magnetic resonance measurements.
