Graduate student receives
ACS award:
Alexis de Kerchove
received an American Chemical
Society Division of Environmental Chemistry Graduate
Student Award. About 25 awards are given each year,
based on the academic record, research productivity,
and future goals of candidates. The awardees receive
publicity in EnvirofACS Environmental Science and
Technology, a year’s subscription to Environmental
Science and Technology and as year’s membership in
the Environmental Division of ACS. De Kerchove's
faculty adviser is Prof. Menachem Elimelech.
YEDT thrilled with
turnout:
The Yale Engineering Design Team recruitment party
attracted 38 prospective members! YEDT would welcome
even more participants, including innovation-minded,
non engineering majors. Get more information from
< jonathan.hartman@yale.edu>
Terrence
Myelle ’09 ME,
is YEDT president and Prof. David LaVan, ME, is the
faculty adviser. Sample YEDT by coming to Yale Junk
Wars III, see below.
Yale Junk Wars III:
Participation is open to whatever undergraduate and
graduate students sign up first for one of the 30 slots
with Projects Coordinator
Drausin Wulsin ’07
BME
<drausin@yale.edu>
When: Teams will build their contraptions (the assignment
will be announced on site) from a huge pile of junk
Sat., Jan. 28, noon to 6:00 pm.
Where: Mason basement (enthusiastic observers invited!).
Competition, judging (by YEDT members), and pizza:
6:00 to 9:00 pm at an as yet secret location (get to
Mason Basement by 5:30 pm).
Engineering Library
demos:
Learn to use EndNote and RefWorks. These bibliography
managers help you to organize your research and
create footnotes, citations, formatted bibliographies,
also to save references from research databases, add
notes and keywords, insert citations into a document,
and format bibliographies.
Fri., Feb. 3, 2:00 pm.
Happy birthday!
Theresa Evangeliste,
Administrative Assistant in
Applied Physics, and her husband Marcus Evangeliste
welcomed into their lives a baby boy on January 24.
Baby Nicholas, his parents, and his older brother, also
Marcus, are happy and doing well.
Filling in:
Ms. Carol Allen
will fill in at Applied Physics until
Ms. Evangeliste returns from maternity leave May 1.
