For 175 years, generations of students have come to Florida State University and its predecessor institutions for an education and the opportunities that come with it.
Today, FSU is one of the nation’s top public universities, drawing record numbers of highly accomplished students while continuing a long tradition of expanding opportunity. #FSU175

Since 1973, @FSUClassics and @FSUIP have led the excavations at Cetamura del Chianti — an archaeological site that has, uniquely, been home to ancient Etruscans, Romans, and Italians of the Middle Ages.
Recently, @FSUClassics' Nancy de Grummond (top right) — who's served as the site's director since 1983 — was part of a research team that sequenced the DNA of 2,000-year-old grape seeds, mapping the most extensive genetic history of ancient grapevines recovered from a single archaeological site.

We checked in with our Biology in London Program students to see what they've been up to recently, and we got major FOMO from their visit to the Hunterian Museum!
The museum — named after the 18th century surgeon and anatomist John Hunter — showcases over 2,000 anatomical preparations from Hunter’s original collection, alongside instruments, equipment, models, paintings and archive material, which trace the history of surgery from ancient times to the latest robot-assisted operations.

@FloridaState in @guardian ▶️ New research has found that ancient vineyards were part of the Roman Empire's agricultural network that laid the foundation for modern winemaking. 🍇
The study, coauthored by @FSUClassics' Nancy de Grummond, sequenced the DNA of 2,000-year-old grape seeds to map the most extensive genetic history of ancient grapevines recovered from a single site.

Greetings from London! 🇬🇧
This summer's Biology in London Program is officially underway, and @fsubio Professor Scott Stagg (front) joined the Summer 2026 cohort at @RCPhysicians' Garden of Medicinal Plants.
With approximately 1,000 different plant species — all with links to medicine — the garden offers living examples of medicinal history, from ancient Egypt to today’s life-saving prescription drugs.
