With more than 34,000 students and nearly 8,000 faculty and staff, North Carolina State University is a comprehensive university known for its leadership in education and research, and globally recognized for its science, technology, engineering and mathematics leadership.
NC State alum here. They need to improve the grandstand (seating right behind home plate). Need to remove the existing press box, expand seating in the grandstand, and put a new press box over and behind the expanded seating and add a roof over all of it. As of right now, the grandstand looks like that of a high school stadium, and aesthetically looks inferior to other top D1 baseball programs around the ACC and country. I don't understand why an improvement to the grandstand was not included as a part of this upgrade. Makes zero sense to me.
Crazy that the same university that is creating graphene nano technology, also was creating gain of function for the Corona virus that later was moved to Wuhan after they got in trouble. Yet 2,300 views. Hidden in plain sight. Google patent 060606
This is such a wonderful conversation. Such a terrific idea to do this series! I learned so much about the focus on better understanding and caring for aging pets. All the best to you! Thank you! Go Pack!!
Watched the whole entire episode and learned quite a bit about the NCSU Campus Health Services. Thank you so much 😊for the in depth explanation of the program. Really appreciate it! ❤
I live in NC and am a NCSU alum, clocked long hours in Poe Hall. People have health concerns? It's more than the cancer cases from people who've spent hours and hours in Poe Hall, there are people whose kids have been developmentally impacted, there are people that I went to school with that have already passed away. There's a lot of local media attention (e.g., NCSU threw out air filters in January that should have been kept and tested, WRAL has footage of them in a dumpster) and law office rumblings on this that the chancellor is not going to address and you're otherwise not going to hear about... so if you're throwing cold water on all of this by making a trite counterargument in the hypothetical about what's "accurate" or not, you're helping nothing. Y'all need "facts?" What has been found in the building (so far) is a PCB called Aroclor 1262, which has a half-life in the body on the magnitude of years. These types of chlorinated hydrocarbons (which is what a polycarbonate biphenyl is, or PCB for short) can be present in all sorts of building materials, from the literal material making up the walls to the caulk sealing ductwork all over the building. PCBs also bioaccumulate, meaning that as you absorb more and more of it through dust in the air, your skin, food, etc. from exposure in the environment, it simply builds up in the body. It is a known carcinogen, commonly having negative impacts on the liver, respiratory system, and skin, and also being known to cause breast cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma according to the very same consulting firm that NCSU hired to investigate this. The Aroclor 1262 compound was found after testing with the HVAC system OFF... so they really don't know what they're dealing with until they can test more. And they're dragging their feet, playing blame games with NIOSH instead of leading the charge on gathering information and taking care of the Wolfpack community. To say that NCSU fumbled the ball on this is an understatement. To say that they've been responsive to the concerns of students, faculty, and staff over time, who've been complaining about the building for years, is a fabrication. They're in damage control, there is no sincere compassionate vibe that isn't merely a put-on for PR. I'm not at all proud anymore to say I went to NCSU.
