Bird flu doesn’t just affect birds—it disrupts farms, strains food systems, and raises costs for consumers. A new “electronic nose” detects airborne signs of disease in real time, giving farmers the ability to slow the spread and prevent outbreaks.Easy to use and designed with farmers in mind, the sensor comes in two formats: a barn-mounted monitor for continuous scanning and a handheld version for smaller flocks. The result? Faster detection, fewer sick birds, safer food, and stronger farms.Learn more: https://go.nd.edu/fighting-for-faster-virus-detection

The United States has the highest maternal mortality rate of any developed nation. For many new mothers, the weeks and months after giving birth can be the most dangerous—and too often, lifesaving care ends too soon.When Notre Dame professor, nurse, and researcher Joyce Adams saw these risks firsthand, she developed a groundbreaking model of postpartum care. Tested in Ghana and now saving lives in the U.S., her Focused Postpartum Care (Focused-PPC) program offers women yearlong follow-up visits, education on warning signs, and peer-to-peer support.Learn more: https://go.nd.edu/fighting-for-maternal-health

Notre Dame researchers have developed an “electronic nose” that can sniff out bird flu before it spreads—helping farmers protect their flocks and livelihoods.Instead of slow, invasive lab tests, this new sensor detects airborne signs of disease in real time. Designed with farmers in mind, it comes in two easy formats: a barn-mounted monitor and a handheld device. Faster detection means fewer sick birds, safer food, and stronger farms.Learn more about Notre Dame research: https://go.nd.edu/fighting-for-faster-virus-detection
