Sorry if this is a duplicate. This is such an important position. Good to see another Beaver up and “atom”. I have long been a proponent of nuclear power generation but have been very concerned about spent fuel storage and containment. Perhaps the fusion track will allow us to further propagate nuclear energy production and mitigate that concern. All the best to Dr. Woods. Oregon State University

Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2024 list features two of Beaver Nation’s own among pop stars, politicians, photojournalists, athletes and more: people who have profoundly shaped the world’s narrative over the last year. — Jensen Huang, ’84, ’09 (Hon. Ph.D.): The Nvidia founder and CEO was lauded for his leadership, determination and ability to evolve and execute — qualities that have helped him design computing hardware that powers some of the most transformative technology of our time. This is on the heels of Huang being named to the TIME100 Most Influential People in AI list last year. — Suzanne Simard, M.S. ’89, Ph.D. ’96: A forest ecology professor and author of Finding the Mother Tree, Simard’s revolutionary research on how trees communicate information to each other and share resources in extensive underground networks in forests has been widely acclaimed by scientists and forest conservationists — and it’s resonating in pop culture, too, from TED Talks with millions of views to a name-drop on the Apple TV+ comedy Ted Lasso. Congratulations to Huang and Simard on this tremendous recognition. Go Beavs! Read the full TIME articles below.

Congratulations to alumna Dr. Suzanne Simard (M.S. '89, Ph.D. '95) for being named to the #TIME100 Most Influential People List! Dr. Simard is the author of "Finding the Mother Tree" and a professor of forest ecology at the University of British Columbia. Her revolutionary research centers on how trees interact and communicate using below-ground fungal networks. “The trees, Simard teaches us, are talking. It is our job to start listening.”
