Waving peace signs in the air and repeating choruses of “I’m ‘A’ African,” ������Դ��s and faculty hardly looked like they were gathered in Love Auditorium to learn anything. Yet they were treated to a unique and original lesson in evolutionary biology – in rap format.

Physics department faculty members Charlie Holbrow, Jim Lloyd ’54, Joe Amato, Kiko Galvez, and Beth Parks have spent the last four years working together on a revision of the Colgate-inspired Modern Introductory Physics.

As the world searches for alternative sources of energy, Bill Jorgenson ’65 is exploring an option that he acknowledges is not particularly glamorous: cow poop and garbage. Jorgenson is the managing partner of AGreen Energy LLC (AGE), an organization that has developed a process to not only generate sustainable energy from what would otherwise be […]

“It’s hot and humid out there today,” geology professor Connie Soja told a classroom full of ������Դ��s this July. “It feels like the Mesozoic out there.” In the absence of Colgate ������Դ��s, who are mostly off campus for the summer, Soja was presenting to ������Դ��s of a different ilk as she addressed the second- and […]

Inside a Ho Science Center physics lab, ������Դ��-researcher Amanda Zranchev ’12 is taking on the role of inventor this summer as she conducts experiments on a plywood structure that resembles a closet on wheels. “What we are doing in this lab will hopefully be valuable to homeowners one day,” said Beth Parks, associate professor of […]

It seems as if Colgate has extended study courses that can meet a ������Դ��’s wildest interest – literally. Fourteen ������Դ��s are now exploring lush rain forests and tropical dry forests as part of a three-week extended study course in Costa Rica. The ������Դ��s are part of the Tropical Ecology course taught this past semester by […]

Colgate alumnus H. Guyford Stever, 93, the top science adviser to two presidents who led the oversight committee that redesigned the space shuttle’s booster rockets after the Challenger disaster, has died. News outlets from around the country, including The New York Times and Washington Post, reported on the April 9 death of Stever, who graduated […]

If you can see the constellations tonight, you might pick out Orion and his faithful dog on the trail of a vicious bear. But the lights blinking down on you are more than what — or when — they seem. After spending the day with Core 106A ������Դ��s, Father George Coyne spoke to a packed […]

(Editor’s Note: This article was written by Kate Preziosi ’10) The confocal microscope that lives in a narrow, nondescript room in Olin Hall is proving to be an invaluable new addition to the Biology Department that will open doors for ������Դ�� and faculty researchers alike. The microscope, secured through a $500,000 National Science Foundation grant […]

Six ������Դ��s took advantage of the opportunity to share research findings and sharpen presentation skills at a recent science symposium held at Harvard Medical School. The undergraduates, who are in Colgate’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Program (S-STEM), mingled with peers from other universities, postdoctoral fellows, graduate ������Դ��s, and others at the New […]
