Welcome to Yale Afternoons with Alison! In this series, Alison Cole ’99 , executive director of the YAA, meets with university leaders to learn more about their priorities and how the alumni community can support them. All conversations occur at Rose Alumni House, the home of the alumni association and a hub for activity on campus. Bring your favorite beverage and enjoy the conversation.

From incorporating natural resources into GDP to building sustainable cities to strengthening drivers of carbon removal, Yale School of the Environment faculty and alumni will be discussing how long-term climate goals can translate into scalable, deployable solutions at Yale @ Climate Week NYC .
How protective is air conditioning in preventing deaths amid soaring temperatures and record heat levels? Yale researchers found that AC usage cut the amount of annual heat-related deaths by half in the U.S., saving more than 5,000 lives a year. However, while AC is a highly effective heat-adaption tool, protective effects level off once usage passes a certain point. On days of extreme heat, risk

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) has been awarded a grant of nearly $25 million by the Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA) initiative. The award, which is part of ARIA’s Human Developmental Neurobiology Research Hub , focuses on building foundational maps and models of the developing human brain and clarifying how and when autism diverges from typical development.
When Jadesola Crownson graduated with a degree in biochemistry and plans for medical school, she already knew how to think like a scientist. But she wanted to grapple with questions science alone could not answer.
Miles Lasater caught the entrepreneurship bug early in life. Growing up in San Francisco, both of his parents started their own businesses. Plus, his friend’s parents were involved in some of the most iconic companies in Silicon Valley at the time.

As the nation marks its 250th anniversary, America’s rising generation is grappling with a profound sense of estrangement from traditional national pride. Rather than embracing uncritical flag-waving, young Americans view the present state of the union with deep skepticism—even while carving out enduring grounds for optimism rooted in community action, mutual care, and inclusive democratic values.

Nelson Bay orthoreovirus (NBV) was initially discovered in a bat sample but has since been isolated from patients with acute respiratory tract diseases. Accumulating reports of NBV isolation from patients with respiratory tract viral infections suggest that NBV is able to transmit and cause disease in humans. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We previously established a
Global scientists have encountered an intriguing particle interaction in their search for dark matter, which might help pave the way for answering one of the biggest unresolved questions about our universe.

Across 69 million images of historical documents lies a vast record of Canada’s history, from immigration and public policy to scientific discovery and family histories. Now, a University of Ottawa–led project is making those stories easier to find.
Nearly 40,000 students surveyed across four Ontario school boards; researchers urge parents, educators and clinicians to pay attention to why young people turn to chatbots.
UAlbany physicists played a central role in analyzing a so-far unexplained anomaly in the data from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector that offers the most compelling hint yet in the hunt for an unseen building block of the universe
