Giving Tuesday: Do good around the world

Learn about the many ways that Cornellians are doing good around the world... with your support!

• NYS communities create a crisis resilience playbook, with Cornell help
  Southside in Ithaca is one of three communities partnering with Cornell researchers to create “resilience hubs”—existing facilities that support communities during disasters and crises caused by climate change, pandemics, and other emergencies.
• On-body electronics can monitor health, support creative expression
  Two new kinds of on-skin electronics allow users to build and customize them directly on the body—with potential applications in biometric sensing, medical monitoring, interactive prosthetic makeup, and more.
• From lab to patent: Undergrad creates smart syringe for bioprinting
  Jared Matthews ’21 helped created a smart sensor that attaches to the tip of a syringe to measure, in real time, the concentration and viability of the cells that pass through it—a device that would enable surgeons and biomanufacturers to produce higher quality implants of living tissue—even organs.
• Online course helps veterinarians support rural mental health
  The College of Veterinary Medicine and NY FarmNet, in partnership with Rural Minds, has launched a free online course, “Mental Health and Suicide Prevention in Rural America,” designed to give learners strategies and resources to navigate mental health challenges in rural communities.
• How universities can help strengthen democracy
  The Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy’s Center on Global Democracy has a mission to advance democracy through policy research and engagement with democratic actors.
