There’s nothing quite like fall at SIU. Campus comes alive in color, that quiet kind of beauty that makes you pause between classes. 🍁🍂
Whether you’re under the trees, walking by Campus Lake, or strolling through Thompson Woods, take a second to breathe it all in.

In 1953, SIU Carbondale biologists, funded by Anheuser-Busch, used a microscope, sugar water, and physics to weigh a single yeast cell. No fancy gear, just brains & gravity.
They tracked 67 cells falling in fluid, used Stokes’ Law, and got 7.9×10⁻¹¹ grams, on average.
