On NAI's annual list of patent output by U.S. Universities
UW has once again made the list of the National Academy of Inventors’ (NAI) top 100 universities in the U.S. with the most patents granted. NAI placed UW at No. 91 on its recently-released 2024 “Top 100 U.S. Universities Granted U.S. Utility Patents” list. UW was 91st as well on NAI’s 2022 list.
“UW’s patent output is a key driver of innovation, leading to startup companies, corporate engagement and job creation for Wyomingites," said Parag Chitnis, UW’s vice president for research and economic development. “This recognition continues to enhance UW’s reputation as a world-class research institution. Its inclusion in the NAI’s Top 100 is particularly remarkable, considering its small size.”
For decades, UW associate professor Corey Tarwater and her research team have used mist nets by day to capture various species of tropical birds in Panama to study the effects of global change on bird populations. Now, the UW Zoology and Physiology Department researcher is starting a new collaboration with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) to use the same mist net lanes to catch bats by night.
“We are really excited to collaborate with the bat team on this project. By working with them, we can figure out whether or not bats are responding the same way to climate that we’re seeing with the birds,” says Tarwater in an STRI story.
