A tradition 13 years strong continues Saturday [Nov. 22] when Army and Air Force ROTC cadets at Mississippi State University and the University of Mississippi partner for the annual Egg Bowl Run, spanning the 100-mile route between the rival campuses.

Mississippi State biologist Matthew W. Brown, the university’s Donald L. Hall Professor of Biology, is part of an international research team whose groundbreaking discovery is featured today [Nov. 19] in Nature—one of the world’s most prestigious scientific journals. The published research unearths a new organism and phylum, reshaping the tree of life.
