laurakt@uab.eduWrites and produces stories for UAB News and social sites, including UAB This Week, a weekly recap of happenings around campus.
This week, UAB experts weighed in on the FDA's approval of cannabis-based drug CBD for epilepsy treatment. Plus, UAB Athletics is rolling out a new tailgating experience for the upcoming football season. And, remember, safety first when enjoying fireworks this July 4.
This week is all about the magic of music, getting on the right track, coming together as one and winning one for the team. See it online.
This week is all about getting our hands on the missing As, Bs and Os, getting a handle on the heat and putting our hands together for a great season of performances to come at the Alys Stephens Center. See it online. All in one video.
This week is all about being being young and highly accomplished, working together to deliver on the promise of tomorrow and making fun and fitness attractive.
This week, docs and vets team up to test therapies that could benefit mankind — and its best friends. The police chief tries his hand at demolition derby, and the city's food trucks are ready for their close-up on the Food Network.
UAB Medicine's robotic surgery program — a national leader — celebrates a milestone 10,000 procedures and UAB Hospital earns accolades for its commitment to providing an outstanding patient experience. Better still, a lung transplant gives a teen the chance to graduate high school and live a more normal life.
This week is all about working together — to combat a physician shortage, accelerate medical breakthroughs and promote college readiness.
It's all about excellence. UAB Hospital retains its place on Becker's list of the nation's 100 best. Our Comprehensive Transplant Institute celebrated 50 years of life-giving care. And UAB Athletics begins upgrades for soccer that will enable Birmingham's pro soccer team to make our home field theirs.
This week, it was all about students coming and going. Reaching out to potential students on National College Decision Day. Students doing a community service during their move out. And a graduate who got a surprise in camouflage on her big day.
This week, we're looking forward — to the beginning for more than 2,100 graduates, a new opportunity to promote regional economic development, improved understanding of science and the blooms that bring bees and butterflies.
