Alumni couple behind think[box] commits $1 million to Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building
When Larry and Sally Sears provided the initial support to launch Case Western Reserve University’s hands-on innovation center, they imagined a collaborative space where big ideas could become reality. Since its opening in 2012, the Larry Sears and Sally Zlotnick Sears think[box], a 50,000-square-foot makerspace, has welcomed tens of thousands of visitors from across the campus and community each year. Now, the alumni couple has committed $1 million to support another collaborative space: the 189,000-square-foot Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building.

Case Western Reserve researchers land $1.1M National Science Foundation grant to advance safer, faster and less expensive medical-imaging technology
Diagnosing cancer today involves using chemical “contrast agents” to improve the accuracy of medical imaging processes such as X-rays as well as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. But those agents can be expensive, take more time to use and pose potential health concerns. With a new four-year, $1.1 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), researchers at Case Western Reserve University hope to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) alternative that generates virtual contrast-enhanced images without chemical agents.
