I used to refer to Armstrong Browning Library as Baylor’s “hidden jewel.” But given the growing number of honors the library has received of late, I don’t think that’s accurate anymore.

The short documentary embedded below explains how scientists work to re-create what an environment may have looked like thousands, even millions of years ago. Baylor’s own Dr. Daniel Peppe, an assistant geology professor in the College of Arts and Sciences, is heavily featured in the documentary, which is currently playing at the American Museum of […]
After a major natural disaster hits, perhaps the most pressing, immediate need is shelter — even if it’s temporary. Baylor interior design students, working with other students and faculty from such diverse disciplines as psychology, engineering, and film and digital media, are working to fill that need.

Florence is the seventh Bear in the last eight years to make the Academic All-America football team, […]

The researchers in Baylor’s Mind-Body Medicine Research Laboratory found that clinical hypnosis can effectively reduce hot flashes and related symptoms. In the study, published this fall in Menopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society, such symptoms were reduced as much as […]
This blog is filled with reasons to be thankful for Baylor — not just at Thanksgiving, but year-round. However, this time of year is always a good time to step back and think about how we have been blessed. Parents who are just joining the Baylor family through their students are often best at pointing […]
Baylor researchers are working to help solve the mystery of “Gulf War illness,” a chronic, multi-symptom illness that still affects at least a quarter of veterans from the first Gulf War and is not yet fully understood, even two decades after the conflict began.
