The stories showcase faculty and students who are making a difference. In 2021, UCF research stories had a combined, total potential reach of more than 8.2 billion possible views worldwide via newspapers, magazines, news websites and select television news placements. The number does not include all TV placements nor a total number for December. The number is based on the number of visitors to a media outlet from both desktop and mobile devices who could have seen the stories from that source. That\u2019s compared to a combined, total reach of more than 7.3 billion potential views in 2020.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed oembed oembed-video d-flex flex-column align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><noscript><iframe title=\"Top 10 UCF Research Stories of 2021\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZWNgs_LyJeo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><iframe title=\"Top 10 UCF Research Stories of 2021\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZWNgs_LyJeo?feature=oembed\" class=\" lazyload\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The top 10 list is based on the number of media placements and the reach they earned.
