The COVID-19 pandemic shifted thousands of jobs online, allowing employees to telework and avoid congested roadways. That’s good for slowing the spread of the virus, but new research from George Mason Ģ��AV also shows such habits could limit people’s exposure to harmful traffic pollution.

When Haider Semaisim works on the federally mandated database of global incidents of terrorism with George Mason Ģ��AV’s Schar School of Policy and Government, he does so with pride. It is not only an educational and professional endeavor, he said. “It’s personal.”

To defend against terrorism, you have to understand it. Thanks to more than a dozen students, alumni and faculty at George Mason Ģ��AV working on a digital terrorism database, everyone from policy makers to researchers around the world will be a step closer to that goal.

Around the world, environmental crises are making headlines, from the potential extinction of species and ecosystems to climate change. Students in George Mason Ģ��AV’s Department of Environmental Science and Policy (ESP) are driven to make a change.
This year five PhD students in the department received grants from the Cosmos Club Foundation to tackle a wide range of conservation efforts.
