A team of URochester researchers has developed a time-series AI machine-learning model that better predicts the lung disease bronchopulmonary dysplasia in newborns than current tools.

Getting back behind the wheel is a milestone after joint replacement surgery, but doing it too soon can put your recovery and safety at risk. John Ginnetti, an associate professor of orthopaedics, offers guidance on knowing when it is safe to drive again.

For the next 24 hours, the entire University community is coming together to support the people, programs, and possibilities that make URochester extraordinary. Faculty and staff play an important role today—by making a gift and inspiring support among your network as an advocate. Faculty and staff donors will receive a small token of appreciation.

Join the celebration today from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the Wilson Quad with food trucks and games, or stop by a tabling location to pick up your OneRochester thank you gift:

• Simon Business School: Carol Simon Hall, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Eastman School of Music: Lowry Hall, 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
• Strong Memorial Hospital: Friends of Strong Office, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

On Friday, May 15, the University will hold its Commencement ceremony, which will have a significant impact on campus traffic flow and parking.

Students and their families will begin arriving as early as 6 a.m., and all River Campus lots will be needed for guest parking. Due to expected traffic and the need for guest parking, departmental supervisors are encouraged to consider alternatives to staff working onsite that day, where operationally possible. Employees who must work onsite should park in their regular lot.

URochester Medicine employees who park in lots accessed off Crittenden and Kendrick Roads should expect increased traffic that morning and adjust their travel times accordingly. Lot 2 and 9 permit holders are asked to follow the regular parking overflow plan if needed.

Open to all URochester instructors, this Teaching Center Zoom workshop will guide you and your fellow instructors through an hour of reflection and sharing about the successes, surprises, and areas for improvement discovered during the spring semester. Register here to attend on Friday, May 8, from noon to 1 p.m.

Join UR Medicine EAP and Well-U on Tuesday, May 12, at noon to learn how raised beds make gardening easier, more productive, and accessible. This webinar covers setup, soil, and tips for growing healthy vegetables and herbs in any space.
