Coral scientists from Nova Southeastern University brought their research halfway around the world this summer, presenting at the 16th International Coral Reef Symposium in Auckland, New Zealand.

Researchers and students from NSU's National Coral Reef Institute delivered 21 talks and 7 research posters covering coral restoration, disease, and reef science, work that's helping shape how coral reefs are protected around the globe.

"Multiple students and researchers from NSU were able to share their research with other coral scientists from 90 countries," said NSU Research Associate Rachel Ionata.
We're proud of our researchers and students for representing NSU on the world stage of coral science! 🦈🪸

Jose Agurto spent 15 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, and years after struggling to talk about what he'd seen. Traditional therapy didn't stick. What finally helped? A racing simulator. 🏎️

NSU's College of Psychology has partnered with The Veterans Trust to launch a program that uses motorsports to teach veterans real stress-management skills. Wearing sensors that track heart rate and breathing, instructors coach participants through breathing techniques as the pressure builds. The goal: recognize the early signs of fight-or-flight and learn to calm down before reacting, both on the track and off.

The program has already helped 25 veterans, with a waitlist of 30 more, and has been featured in the Sun Sentinel, Miami Herald, and more.
