U.S. Military looks to FSU to develop revolutionary machine-learning tool to address upsurge in suicides

Published: April 19, 2018 | 11:45 am | Posted in: Health & Medicine, News, Science & Technology

Jessica Ribeiro, assistant professor of psychology, says current methods to detect suicide risk are not very accurate.

FSU researcher aims to better protect nation’s first responders

Published: February 15, 2018 | 2:25 pm | Posted in: Health & Medicine, News

Meredith McQuerry, an expert on protective clothing for firefighters, identified flaws in some high-tech firefighting suits, including less breathability. "When you combine intense, short bursts of physical activity with a hot, humid environment — it does not even have to be near a fire — and you add 50-100 pounds of gear, it's no wonder we see more cases of heat stroke."

Technology breakthroughs in clothing materials and design have benefited all of us, but perhaps none more so than first responders. Burn injuries among firefighters have plummeted in the past decade. There’s just one problem: cases of heat stroke, exhaustion and cardiac arrest deaths have spiked upward because protective gear is much more insulated. New research […]
