Good morning, Morgantown.

Jason Dunn is a law enforcement systems specialist and self-proclaimed tech whisperer who joined UPD in 2023 after working for ten years in casino and physical security.

He now makes sure the department's technology works well and likes taking pictures, traveling, and spending time with his wife and two labs (Mars and Moon).

Governor Patrick Morrisey spoke Monday in Bridgeport to announce a new plan that shifts focus from new highway construction to fixing and maintaining existing roads after overspending on past projects.

He said the state will lower the percentage of poor bridges to below 10% by 2028, publish a prioritized list of repairs, and open up opportunities for local partners — a change that local officials welcomed.

Orthodontists at WVU are testing a new technology that uses shape memory material to create clear plastic dental aligners—one of three universities involved in the trial.

The study may lead to improved treatment options for dental patients.

Today, the Black Lung Screening Program remains out of service as its mobile X-ray unit sits parked in Morgantown due to a lack of funding.

The delay—worsened by missing contract technicians for reading X-rays—means the program does not meet a federal judge’s May 13 order.

Researchers from the Department of Physical Therapy are inviting families with babies aged 3 to 4 months to join a study at the WVU baby laboratory that tests how infants learn during a fun kicking game.

Families will make two lab visits lasting 1 to 1.5 hours each—participants earn a $50 gift card and mileage reimbursement after completing both visits.

West Virginia University's baseball season ended Sunday after the Mountaineers lost 12-5 to No. 6 LSU in the NCAA Super Regionals at Alex Box Stadium in Baton Rouge—WVU finished with a 44-16 record.

Judge Claudia Wilken approved a deal that lets colleges directly pay athletes with a $20 million spending cap per year, and West Virginia University Athletics will soon decide how to split the funds among football, basketball and other sports.
