LSU researchers are testing bacteria-treated soybean seeds to help crops survive heat and drought. 🌱 Backed by a $6M NSF grant, this research could boost climate resilience in agriculture. #LSU #TigerBites #ClimateScience #Soybeans #wbttw

In the woods of Pineville, La., LSU archaeological students are uncovering the forgotten foundations of the university’s first home. With shovels, trowels, and a passion for discovery, they’re not just digging for artifacts. They’re bringing LSU’s earliest days back into the light.Read more about their discoveries: lsu.edu/blog/2025/07/15-pineville-excavation.php

Take a look inside LSU’s Coastal Meteorology Lab to see how researchers are creating hurricane forecasts tailored specifically for the Gulf Coast. Using unique atmospheric data and machine learning, they’re helping Louisiana better prepare for storm season.

🦟 More than 2,400 West Nile virus cases were reported in the U.S. in 2023, with over 50 in Louisiana.But LSU researchers may have found a safer, more effective way to fight back: nootkatone, a natural compound found in grapefruit and cedar trees.✅ FDA-approved ✅ More effective than DEET in tests ✅ Works on mosquitoes and ticksNow, the team is working to bring this breakthrough to market and make it accessible for all. #tigerbites #naturalhealth #lsu #wbttwRead more ➡️ https://www.lsu.edu/science/biosci/news/2024/insectrepellentbylsuresearchers.php
