Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered if we are alone in the universe?Simon Schuler, assistant professor of physics, doesn’t think we are the only ones in this world. He said the first step in answering this universal question is to find planets like Earth that are in the “habitable zone” of a star, where the temperature is not too hot or too cold and liquid water can exist. One of Schuler’s current research projects may help scientists find these planets more quickly. “We have to start with what we know,” said Schuler. VIDEO

Katherine Pyne ’14 likes to be challenged — whether it’s on the tennis court or out on the ocean.A member of UT’s tennis team, Pyne has always been drawn to fitness. When her high school tennis coach started the stand-up paddleboarding business SUP Sarasota and convinced Pyne to give it a try, she was hooked.
“People don’t realize how tough it can be,” Pyne said.
That’s because Pyne isn’t lazing her way down a river. She’s digging into chop among 50 or so others going head to head — or rather, board to board — in competitive SUP races.
