What's new at UMM's Science and Math Division

Something Fishy Going on in Biology...
Paul Myers joined the Biology Discipline at UMM back in 2000 and brought with him a wealth of experience in zebra fish research. Zebra fish are now a hot scientific model, according to Myers. Researchers currently explore everything from mutations to genomes with these little fish. “When I started working with zebra fish, there were six of us studying them. Now there are thousands,” he says. (continued)

What's Cooking in Chemistry...
UMM alumni who took Jim Olson’s General Chemistry Honors course will remember his “do-it-yourself” attitude about lab research. Before Professor Emeritus Olson left these hallowed halls, he helped his chemistry colleagues create a new course that would ensure early research experience for all UMM chemistry students. Olson, along with professor Nancy Carpenter designed an innovative Intro to Research (ItR) course unique to UMM’s chemistry program. (continued)
