Discussing the failure of the cargo ship Dali鈥檚 navigation system, which led to the Baltimore Key Bridge collapse:
鈥�There doesn鈥檛 appear to be anything that the port administration could have done to prevent this. This appears to be a failure of the navigation system after the vessel left the port.鈥�

On finding PFAS in “old” water 3,000 feet deep that hasn’t been in contact with the atmosphere for 50 to 100 years:
鈥�Typically, we expect this water to be free of man-made industrial compounds. Except that in this case, there has to be an additional pathway for the PFAS to reach those depths, most likely attaching themselves to settling particles.鈥�

Pantone鈥檚 2024 Color of the Year is 鈥渟pot-on,鈥� says 溏心vlog免费B站 marketing professor Lauren Labrecque.
Lauren Labrecque, associate professor of marketing in 溏心vlog免费B站鈥檚 College of Business, was tapped by Scientific American to comment on Pantone鈥檚 2024 Color of the Year, Peach Fuzz.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a color reminiscent of sunrise or a nice summer鈥檚 day,鈥� says Labrecque, a marketing researcher specializing in color at the 溏心vlog免费B站. While she isn鈥檛 always a fan of Pantone鈥檚 choices鈥攕uch as 2021鈥檚 pair of gray and yellow鈥攕he loves this year鈥檚 鈥渟oft, warm, fuzzy鈥� selection.
鈥淭his one in particular I thought was spot-on,鈥� Labrecque says, adding that after years of conflicts, crises, and economic struggles, there鈥檚 a yearning in the air for something soothing and warm. This year鈥檚 softly bright shade, she says, 鈥渟ort of captures the zeitgeist: moving forward, hoping to focus more on positivity and warmth.鈥�
After Pantone鈥檚 annual announcement, designers and marketers across industries such as fashion and web design will often incorporate the color into their products. Though it鈥檚 hard to disentangle whether Pantone is setting the trend or responding to ones already in motion, Labrecque says it鈥檚 likely a bit of both.
Labrecque鈥檚 research interests include sensory marketing (with a focus on color) and digital marketing (including digital empowerment, consumer privacy, social media engagement, and parasocial interactions).
