Entrepreneurship center changes name, looks to hit major milestone
IE Business Daily
July 28, 2025
Mike Stull, director of the Randall W. Lewis Center for Entrepreneurship at Cal State San Bernardino, discussed the center’s work to close in on a major achievement: generating $1 billion in economic impact in the Inland Empire. Since it was founded in 1999, the center – recently renamed for the executive vice president of the Lewis Group of Cos. in Upland – has created an estimated $846 million in economic growth in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, according to Stull.

Anthony Metcalf, Cal State San Bernardino professor of biology (emeritus), has fond memories of visiting Mystic Lake with his father when he was a boy. He remembers strange smoking trash fires at the shoreline and the muddy mysteries of the wetlands. As a teenager, he returned to embrace the lake’s solitude and peace. It wasn’t until after receiving his Ph.D. and becoming a biology professor at CSUSB at that a love for ecology and birding brought him back.
Methylphenidate leads to disruptions in rest/wake patterns after discontinuation
Psychopharmacology
A team of researchers from the CSUSB Department of Psychology published research about the rest/wake patterns of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and whether stimulant medications, particularly methylphenidate (MPH), contribute to sleep disturbances and the development of sleep disorders later in life. The researchers were Carolyn Cueto, Magdalena R. Gonzales, Alexandra N. Tejada, Kimberly Guerrero Leon, Alexandra Mora, Andrew Cabrera and Leslie R. Amodeo.
NANUQ+: A divide-and-conquer approach to network estimation
Algorithms for Molecular Biology
Hector Baños (mathematics) was one of the researchers who developed a method called NANUQ+. From the abstract: “Inference of a species network from genomic data remains a difficult problem, with recent progress mostly limited to the level-1 case. However, inference of the Tree of Blobs of a network, showing only the network’s cut edges, can be performed for any network by TINNiK, suggesting a divide-and-conquer approach to network inference where the tree’s multifurcations are individually resolved to give more detailed structure. Here we develop a method, NANUQ+, to quickly perform such a level-1 resolution. Viewed as part of the NANUQ pipeline for fast level-1 inference, this gives tools for both understanding when the level-1 assumption is likely to be met and for exploring all highly-supported resolutions to cycles.”
