But the fact that Thursday’s decision in favor of the drug user was a relatively narrow one could be a sign that the justices will also limit the impact of the Hawaii decision, according to Notre Dame Law 91视频 associate professor Haley Proctor, who specializes in the Second Amendment. Proctor said the Hawaii decision, which is expected by the end of the month, may not meaningfully change the court’s test for gun rules.

Haley Proctor, an associate law professor at Notre Dame, said the gap could be a sign that decision will similarly be narrow. “It does strike me as significant that the Court did not need to release them on the same date,” Proctor said in an email. “That suggests that Wolford will not say anything that meaningfully changes the Court’s core framework for analyzing Second Amendment challenges.”

An estimated 98% of native tall grass prairies has been eradicated, Ryan Sensenig, a grassland ecologist at the University of Notre Dame, told ABC News.
Indigenous communities relied on grasslands to survive, Sensenig said. They would practice prescribed burning to maintain the grasslands and enhance its biodiversity, Sensenig said. Native Americans would use the plant species for basket-weaving and currency and feed on the grazers, such as bison, elk and deer, Sensenig added.

“We’re not talking mass dispersion of insecticides or pesticides that are going to decimate other species. The sterile insect technique is like a surgical blade. It’s beautiful,” said Lee Haines, an entomologist and associate research professor of biological sciences at the University of Notre Dame.
But Haines noted that sterile fly production is an expensive undertaking, because it requires a rearing facility large enough to produce at least 500 million flies per week.
“So it’s a big cost, but there’s a huge payoff in that you can eradicate and push the populations further and further back down to Panama [past the Darién Gap], and keep them there,” Haines said.

"It looks like I'm traveling through space, doesn't it?" asks Lee Haines, a vector biologist at the University of Notre Dame and the person peering into the microscope in the image. "I am looking at a mosquito that has taken a sugar meal that has been spiked with a drug," she says.
Shayanta Chowdhury, the photographer and a physical chemist at the University of Notre Dame, was pleased to see his image elevating Haines' science. "Some people think scientists are in their ivory towers doing their own research and it doesn't really benefit or impact society as much," he says. "But I think it does and being able to use art to showcase that in science is powerful."

Under ultraviolet light, the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) in Lee Haines’s microscope glows bright: a sign that it has fed on a sugar concoction spiked with a fluorescent dye and a mosquito-killing agent. Haines, an entomologist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, is part of a team studying how the drug nitisinone can be used to kill blood-feeding insects.
“The UV illumination created striking colours from both the tiny mosquito and the condensation that formed beneath the cold Petri dish,” says photographer Shayanta Chowdhury. As a chemistry PhD student at Notre Dame, Chowdhury uses lasers and spectrometers to study molecules attached to nanoparticles.

The term seems straightforward. It’s a cease-fire. The firing that once constituted a war? That’s ceased. Right? In reality, that’s almost never the case. I spoke to Laurie Nathan, a professor at Notre Dame who has been a U.N. senior mediation adviser and a mediator in cease-fire negotiations. He told me that cease-fires were pretty much always violated.

When modern ceasefires do work, their negotiation tends to take time and patience, and granular expertise on the part of the mediators. After studying 42 comprehensive peace agreements between 1989 and 2018, Madhav Joshi, Matthew Hauenstein and Jason Quinn at the University of Notre Dame found that success requires an average of 1,570 days of detailed bargaining.

We’re not as used to hearing white clergy in particular running on the Democratic side.”

“It is a whole new world,” Patrick Corrigan, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame, told DealBook. The new rules appear to allow underwriters to use their banks’ research to sell investors on an I.P.O., as long as they comply with rules meant to ensure the impartiality and objectivity of the research, Corrigan said. The risk, Corrigan said, was that deal teams become a “conduit for an analyst recommendation that is subtly biased.”
