  When Jagadish Shukla talks about the weather, it’s anything but idle chitchat.
- Life Under Ice in the Outer Solar System
  
  In the Astrophysical Ice and Matrix-Isolation Spectroscopy Laboratory, Paul Cooper and his students are studying how chemistry and physics processes occur in space.
- Seeking AIDS Therapies through Research
  
  At the new Biomedical Research Laboratory, infectious diseases researcher Kylene Kehn-Hall is studying viruses such as HIV/AIDS, SARS, West Nile virus, and influenza. “Viruses are amazing,” Kehn-Hall says, “when we catch a virus, that virus encodes very few proteins, but it has the power to take over our bodies. My job is to figure out how this happens.”
