According to a Cornell University study, unattractive defendants are 22 percent more likely to be convicted than good-looking ones.

Mae Jemison received a Doctor of Medicine degree from Cornell University in 1981.

Aero Farms will work with scientists from Cornell University in New York State and Rutgers University in New Jersey. The goal is to grow salad greens with improved taste and color.

“The appeal of the house for Americans, going back into the 20th century, was that it signified autonomy. You know, every home is a castle,” says Louis Hyman, an economic historian and assistant professor at Cornell University. “So, it has these echoes of signifying independence and achievement.”

Why does math seem to come easily to some folks and baffle others? Studies at Cornell University have shown that some people would rather write a long essay, for instance, than be put on the spot to come up with the correct answer to a math problem. They'd even prefer to make a speech than to go to the blackboard and add and subtract numbers in front of others. Children who've done it and come up with wrong answers often enough can develop a lifetime phobia for math.

I was told an anecdote about Cornell when I first came here.

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a flying robot they say is “as smart as a bird” because it can maneuver to avoid obstacles. They say it eventually could be used in search-and-rescue operations because of its ability to maneuver through forests, tunnels or inside damaged buildings.

Since 1965, Cornell University's Laboratory of Ornithology has collected over 400,000 records on most of North America's breeding birds.

Admittedly, Cornell does offer courses such as CHEM 1007 (Academic support), CHEM 1560 (Intro to Gen Chem) and CHEM 1729 (Solve it!) as precursors or supports to 2070, but they are still not adequate to address the inequity created by 2070’s weed-out methodology.
