great public interest.  Knowing more about these acquisition processes can lead to better drug therapy treatments for infections and cancerous cell growths.  Adaptive mutagenesis occurs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast cells) when selective pressure causes a state of suspended growth. In this research we wanted to know the survival rate of yeast cells in Canavanine.

As our troop of families made our way into each match, other U.S. fans would cheer us on

that we are probably not able to provide every student with that chance, much less to make it a graduation requirement. This kind of undergraduate research has been spreading throughout American higher education—thanks in no small part to the success of our students and our faculty who have served as role models for this form of high-impact education. But this also means that our ability to claim this as a distinction is reduced and that we’ll need to figure out how to stay on the cutting edge. And

The class culminated in a final “Critical Making” project, where students built, designed, or mocked up a media literacy tool. The goal of the assignment was to envision a web that prioritized the circulation of credible information. Critical making is a process where students apply theories and concepts to a creative project or
