Good morning, Jackson County. At -100°C, even the most stubborn molecules slow to a virtual standstill. That's the impressive capability of the VAULT100 ULT freezer recently donated to Ohio University's Innovation Center by Athens-based Stirling Ultracold. This $13,000 gift isn't just equipment—it's a testament to the powerful collaboration between local industry and education that continues to strengthen Southeast Ohio's scientific community.
In the literary realm, Ohio University Press has been quietly building global bridges since 1947. Publishing 25-30 scholarly works annually, this academic powerhouse specializes in everything from African studies to Appalachian culture while nurturing emerging voices through initiatives like the First Book Fund. As the press continues expanding its worldwide reach, it's worth remembering that some of our region's most important stories are being shared far beyond our county lines—a reminder that Jackson County's influence extends well beyond our borders.
