Physics Today (print version, May 2017) ran a short news piece, "A step toward deciphering auroras" highlighting the work of graduate student Jim Schroeder. This news article covered Jim's experiment at the Large Plasma Device at UCLA to understand how Alfven waves accelerate electrons that lead to the glowing of the aurora. This work was performed in collaboration with several University of Iowa faculty members, including PI Gregory Howes and Co-Is Craig Kletzing and Fred Skiff.
