The Arts Center’s biennial juried exhibition of art from all around Oregon continues, but catch it now, because it goes away in early September. Plus, an exploration of temporality through the use of transitory light, diverse fibers, and mixed media is coming soon.

We profiled Jennifer Killian back in 2021, she was working as the City’s Urban Forester. Now, she has joined an Oregon State University Extension team that aims to bring improved urban forestry statewide.

The quality and presence of trees in a city can significantly affect how people feel about the city. But trees in urban environments face pressures that can hinder their growth and limit their life span, such as restrained growing space, compacted or poor-quality soil and pollution. It’s the goal ...

Cliff Bentz is Oregon’s only Republican U.S. House member; and with the tallies in, it turns out he spent more federal staff dollars on Trump’s inaugural weekend than anyone else in Congress.

President Donald Trump’s January inauguration became a pared-down affair due to freezing weather, but that didn’t stop the office of Oregon’s lone Republican congressman from spending big on the three-day weekend. The office of Oregon’s U.S. Rep. Cliff Bentz, a Republican representing the st...

This is a case study in how misinformation gets accepted as fact. It all started with Oregon lawmakers trying to responsibly look ahead at the state’s wildfire risks. It ended with the legislators giving up.

This is how misinformation gets accepted as fact. A year after Oregon endures its most destructive fire season on record in 2020, state lawmakers order a map estimating the wildfire risk for every property in the state. It’s the kind of rating now available on real estate sites like Zillow. The st...

Gov. Tina Kotek has signed into law a plan to allocate $45 million to the Willamette Falls Trust to make the waterfalls publicly accessible. She had threatened to veto the bill a week ago.

The decision comes one week after she issued a notice that she was considering vetoing the plan, alongside three other bills. Alongside the funding plan for Willamette Falls, Kotek also didn’t veto a bill allowing physical therapists to practice dry needling. “Following last week’s notice of p...

We sit down with Rep. Val Hoyle for a revealing look at her views on the Corvallis City Council’s BDS resolution. Israel generally, Epstein, the budget and redistricting are covered too. The run time is about half an hour. As usual, the congresswoman pulls no punches.

Did you know your tax dollars are paying off the student loans of new ICE agent recruits, but not rural doctors. We did not. But according to Oregon’s 4th Congressional District Rep. Val Hoyle, that’s happening, and it’s only one case in point. The question at the time was the federal budget. ...

The National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors claim Oregon’s Recycling Modernization Act, passed in 2021 and implemented in July, is unconstitutional.

The $8 trillion wholesale product distribution industry is challenging a four-year-old Oregon recycling law weeks after the law took effect. The Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act, passed by the state Legislature in 2021, was meant to create statewide standards for what can and cannot...

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield is suing the federal government over a provision in Congressional Republicans’ massive tax and spending law that prevents Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid reimbursements for health care services at its clinics. Oregon’s 12 Planned Parenthood health ...

Jumping worms are a damaging invasive species that first arrived in the U.S. as fishing bait and hitchhikers on imported plants and soils. They have established themselves across Oregon. But, according to OSU, you can stop them from damaging your garden.

Jumping worms, a damaging invasive species that first arrived in the United States in the 1920s as fishing bait and as hitchhikers on imported plants and soils, have established themselves in gardens, nurseries and forest edges across Oregon.

When robots use the right social cues, they may become far more helpful to us humans. OSU’s Bill Smart is leading a project that deploys fifty Quori model robots nationwide. In essence, he is evolving them, and the way humans can think about them.

Humans give each other subtle cues when communicating — we look at each other to show we are paying attention, tilt our heads when we are curious, or stand close to indicate we want to interrupt a conversation. As robots start working in care facilities, homes, and factories, they could be more ac...

Federal investments in Oregon’s rural and economically stressed counties had doubled since 2010, says a recent Portland State study. But many of those investments are now being cut or scaled back.

A Biden-era program to ensure 40% of new federal climate, housing, clean energy and clean water funding went to projects and programs in historically underserved communities led to major investments in rural Oregon and to tribes, a new study revealed. But many of those investments are now being cut....
