This month, Highlanders in the News include Associate Professor of Biology Matt Close talking turtles; Bill Kovarik, professor of communication, weighing in on the destructive legacy of a once-celebrated inventor; and accounting professor Robert Warren offering thoughts on a criminal case involving $40,000 allegedly diverted to play Candy Crush.

Every two weeks, Highlander Highlights shares with readers some of the extraordinary research and accomplishments happening on and off campus through the tireless work and curiosity of our students and faculty.
