Lawrence Police responded just before 1 p.m. on May 29 to the 700 block of Beatnik Court where an elderly woman was stabbed and suffered life-threatening injuries—she was taken to an area trauma center while detectives search for any suspect information.

KU researchers Lisa Dieker and Maggie Mosher launched a free podcast series called AI Advocates on May 29th to give teachers five-minute insights on evolving classroom AI tools.

Researchers from KU released a free digital tool—the Sentinel GreenReport Plus—that uses high-resolution Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery combined with climate data to help users monitor crop and vegetation health across Kansas and the nation, offering insights into drought damage and vegetation recovery.

KU researchers simulated pulling on an athlete's jersey during jumps with 31 sport participants to study noncontact ACL injuries.

The study found that pulling from behind increases joint stress and experts recommend core-strength training to help prevent injuries.
