THE PROGRAM Aquatic Chemical Ecology (ACE) at Georgia Tech is a summer research program supported by the National Science Foundation REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) program. ACE at Georgia Tech gives you the opportunity to perform exciting research with our faculty in the schools of Biological Sciences,…
& Environmental Engineering, and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. You’ll participate in research with one or more of our faculty, learn about careers in science and engineering, and see how scientists blend knowledge and skills from physics, chemistry and biology to investigate some of the most challenging problems in environmental sciences. We encourage applications from undergraduate students who are citizens or permanent residents of the U.S., especially attending universities other than Georgia Tech

Ann Mooney ’03 grew up dreaming about working at National Geographic. Now, she is building a conservation program for the organization in Washington, D.C.
alongside Sylvia Earle, a pioneering marine scientist. “I’ve done no fewer than six reports on this woman and dressed up as her for career day in third grade,” Mooney said with a laugh. “She sits just down the hall from me.” Mooney, who earned a degree in biology at Pacific Lutheran University, is a senior program manager at the National Geographic Society. She’s tasked with building a new program called Beyond Yellowstone, a conservation program in the greater Yellowstone National Park ecosystem that

High schoolers shine at business week Anyone who looked north of 30 years old in Olson Auditorium could expect one of two things to happen: Either an eager high school student, dressed in tie and slacks, would come up and shake their hand, or an…
, they would politely excuse themselves and troll for business capital elsewhere. The look of disappointment that I wasn’t a judge was plain on Austin Vu’s face. But he was polite and took time, once he realized potential venture capitalists were all tied up at the moment, to explain his product and his company. Formally known at “Company J,” it was selling a universal technology to link remotes, mp3 players and cell phones. The Inglemoor High School junior explained his business and what he hoped to

NMR is no longer under wraps It looks like a rather fat, squat water heater. A water heater with a $743,000 price tag. But to the professors of PLU’s chemistry department , the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer is a dream come true. It’s easy to…
spins of the nuclei in a sample, thereby allowing it to be studied. With regards to the magnet, visitors beware. Signs alert visitors to keep their credit cards, blackberries and cell phones at a safe distance. And if you have a pace maker, stay out. It will turn that off too. Getting too close to the machine means all will be erased. Eventually, the group sees not only students using the machine for student-faculty research, but local community and four-year colleges bringing samples over as well

Now, the Bonney Lake, Washington native has graduated and earned a prestigious Fulbright research grant — a national award that only 20 percent of applicants receive after a rigorous, year-long application process.

This list includes all the courses that contribute towards the Environmental Studies major and minor, and specifies the General Education requirements they fulfill and their pre-requisites.
and Science – 8 semester hours These courses emphasize the understanding of scientific knowledge that underpins environmental issues. The interpretation and presentation of data along with concepts of science are stressed. Students select two courses (from two different departments) from the following: BIOL 116: Introductory Ecology (4) BIOL 367: Conservation Biology & Management, Pre-req: BIOL 226 (4) BIOL 368: Ecology, Pre-req: BIOL 226 (4) BIOL 369: Marine Biology, Pre-req: BIOL 226 (4) CHEM

Gregory Peterson, Senior Capstone Seminar Controlled living anionic polymerization was employed to synthesize tetrablock copolymers in order to determine their compatibilizing ability in polymer
Seminar The anti-cancer drug, Tarceva was investigated. Used as either an alternative to chemotherapy, or used as a post-chemotherapy treatment, Tarceva works as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. By inhibiting ATP phosphorylation at the intracellular tyrosine kinase domain of HER1/EGFR, the aim of Tarceva is to stop the over proliferation of cells that contribute to non-small cell lung cancer. 2:30 pm - Pyrrolobenzodiazepines: Potential Antitumor Activity by DNA Binding as Demonstrated by SJG-136Emilie
