    Back when he was a student sportswriter for The Baylor Lariat, many of Shehan Jeyarajah’s professors and colleagues recognized his talent, and may have even used the words “rising star” to describe him.

    One frequent criticism of higher education is that its findings often remain locked in the “ivory tower,” rather than being shared with the “real world.” Dr. Thomas Hibbs is the counterpoint to that — a longtime dean (and even university president) who has consistently applied his knowledge to current events and popular culture and used […]

    Dr. Leigh Greathouse is one of Baylor’s many cancer researchers, specifically focused on the relationship between diet, microorganisms and cancer. Her efforts are driven in part by her own experience fighting cancer while still in her 20s. Her work is also driven by her faith. Earlier this year, she posted on social media about what it’s […]

    You may have heard friends or family members lament the ubiquity of technology, or bemoan that the ways it changes our interactions with the world could lead to “brain rot” or something similar. (Maybe you’ve even said that yourself). Dr. Michael Scullin, an associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at Baylor, set out to see […]
