At Clemson, we are pushing to create new ideas, collaborate across disciplines and institutions, and pursue scholarship and scientific discovery with meaningful impact on society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Throughout this magazine, you\u2019ll read about the many ways our faculty members are doing that. Our researchers are using one of the world\u2019s most powerful supercomputers to seek answers to pressing questions about the future of health care, transportation, the environment, finance, the global food supply and so much more. Our researchers are working to curb childhood bullying. They are sparking conversations about our culture, our history and our future.
