The release will be done in conjunction with the First Yale University Global Justice Program Symposium on Pro-Poor Mountain Tourism on December 5th. He will be presenting a brief summary of his chapter at the Symposium and anyone who is
Last Friday, two outstanding presentations from Marshall Cyber Forensics and Security program were given at the First Annual Putnam County Career and Technical Center’s Cybersecurity Conference. Current CFS student and Women In Cybersecurity – Marshall University Student Chapter Treasurer, Hope Fry gave an excellent presentation on “Networking: The Secret Ingredient to Career Success,” bringing fresh
Professor Laura McCunn has published an article in The Journal of Physical Chemistry A with six undergraduate coauthors from the Department of Chemistry and collaborators from the University of Richmond. The paper is a combined experimental and computational study of the thermal decomposition of 2-cyclopentenone. This molecule occurs during the high-temperature processing of plant matter
Dr. Robin O’Keefe and Robbie Clark from the Department of Biological Sciences presented their research at the annual Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Conference. This year’s 84th meeting was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Their research involves predatory ecomorphology of Unktaheela specta, the smallest polycotylid of the Western Inferior Seaway. Congratulations Robin and Robbie!
The Palmquist lab recently went on a botanical excursion / camping trip to Canaan Valley over October 5th weekend during peak leaf conditions. Highlights include hiking in Dolly Sods and keying out Ericaceae shrubs, visiting Blackwater Falls and eating burritos from Hellbenders, climbing to Chimney Top on North Fork Mountain amidst high Pinus cover and
