Congratulations to biology faculty member Dr. Sydella Blatch, who recently published an invited article about teaching at the college level on the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology website! Dr. Blatch is a member of the Minority Affairs committee of this national professional organization, and was asked to write the article to inform the society’s members about the value and requirements of teaching at an undergraduate institution. The link to the article, which includes a picture of Dr. Blatch with one of her research students, is

Members of the TriBeta biology honor society recently held their first holiday potluck party. Everyone enjoyed homemade food, games, and a gift swap, and it was a great way to unwind before finals! Senior BBB members who are graduating in December were also honored and given their cords. Congratulations to Justin Bean, Kayla Eckert, Niki Flynn, Jessica Kirk, and Colleen Robertson - we wish you well!

Good luck to everyone on finals!!!

Three mustang sculptures were recently unveiled on the Greenspring campus as part of the Mustang March campaign. Two of the horses were designed by School of the Sciences people, including one by the Nursing Department and one by biology graduate Rachel Tower (BIO ’11). “Science of Stevenson”, Rachel’s creation, is shown here with the third horse, “Horsepower”. The science horse creatively and colorfully depicts images from all fields of science and the natural world and can be seen just outside the Science Center and Knott Hall, at the back entrance to the buildings.

Rachel Tower (BIO ’11) is shown here with Stevenson University president Dr. Kevin Manning at the unveiling of the mustang sculpture she designed as part of the university’s Mustang March campaign. Rachel’s horse is called “Science of Stevenson” and has painted images from all of the sciences, including biology, chemistry and math. The horse is one of three that were unveiled and can currently be seen around the Greenspring campus. Rachel’s horse can be found just outside the Science Center and Knott Hall, at the back entrance to the buildings.

Congratulations Rachel!!!

Students in Steve Mrozinski’s BIO 113 General Biology I class are shown here working on their independent projects. The students have teamed up to use their skills in studying bacterial growth to study the effects of compounds such as ethanol and caffeine on the growth of Serratia marcescens. The students work as teams to design and carry out their own research studies that enable them to use techniques and apply concepts they are learning in class.
