Hearing health

Using the new Apple Research app, Rick Neitzel, associate professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the School of Public Health, has partnered with Apple to study sound exposure and its impact on hearing health. Using a person’s iPhone and Apple Watch to measure levels of sound exposure, the study will explore the effects of sound on hearing, stress, and cardiovascular health. In this video, Neitzel explains how this groundbreaking study will advance our understanding of how hearing could be impacted over time by exposure to sound at certain levels.

Putting it together

Earth Camp

As concerns about the environment grow, different perspectives are needed to address these issues in all communities. Every summer for three years in a row, a diverse group of Michigan high school students spends a week exploring nature and learning about the environment through an Earth Camp provided by the U-M Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. The camp hopes to spark interest among a new generation to enter the field. In this video, students and U-M officials associated with Earth Camp discuss its benefits.

Body-sensing kirigami

College of Engineering researchers have built a kirigami-inspired sensor that can form to different parts of the human body. In this video, Max Shtein, professor of materials science and engineering, and Erin Evke, a materials science and engineering Ph.D. candidate, explain how the device could help with athletic training and injury recovery by actively measuring range of motion of complex joints, such as the shoulder or knee.
