Marshall faculty, staff, students, and our community joined together yesterday for a wonderful viewing of the Solar Eclipse. The College of Science would like to thank Dr. Sean McBride, Dr. Sachiko McBride, the Marshall University Astronomy Club, and the Society of Physics Students for making this viewing event such an amazing gathering!

Congratulations to Caroline Cartwright, former student in Dr. Chirchir’s lab, on her publication in the Journal of Human Evolution. The paper is titled “Trabecular bone volume fraction in Holocene and Late Pleistocene humans”. Her research confirmed existing work suggesting that modern humans have ‘lightly’ built skeletons in having low bone density compared to our ancestors

Congratulations to Dr. Laura McCunn-Jordan! She has been selected to receive the 2023-24 Marshall & Shirley Reynolds Outstanding Teacher Award.

Over Spring break, 27 undergraduate students and 5 faculty members represented the Department of Chemistry at the American Chemical Society National Meeting in New Orleans. Fifteen of the students made poster or oral presentations of their research.

Congratulations to Dr. Leslie-Dawn Quick! Dr. Quick has been selected to receive the 2023-24 Pickens-Queen Teacher Award!  

Congratulations to Dr. Rosalynn Quinones! She has been selected as the recipient of the 2023-24 Senior Faculty Award in Science and Technology by the MU Distinguished Artists and Scholars Award Committee.
