The University of Chicago has joined a group of other leading research universities to launch Futurity (www.futurity.org), an online research channel covering the latest discoveries in science, engineering, the environment, health, and other topics.
The site is designed to encourage interaction. Stories include links to published reports, videos, and supplemental materials that allow readers to explore topics in more detail. The site is available in a mobile friendly version, and visitors can comment on stories and sign up for a daily e-mail update.
The University has posted a variety of stories on discoveries in medicine and the physical and social sciences have been posted on the site in the past few months. Faculty members who are interested in having their work reported on this site or elsewhere are invited to contact the News Office.
