The last time the event was held was in 2019, just before the pandemic, which made this year’s crawl a new experience for both first- and second-year students. </p> <p>“Many students new to ��سԹ� or new to research are unfamiliar with the range of research happening on campus. Some may not feel that they belong in research. Lab Crawl directly addresses these concerns through a fun and low-stakes event,” explains Director of CLEAR Sabriya Rosemond. “Learning about labs they may not have considered before can also open up new possibilities for students as they make decisions about their academic career.” </p> <p>Similar to previous years, students were given the opportunity to visit and learn from peer Lab Crawl volunteers in several research fields, including anthropology, physics, astronomy, neuroscience, biochemistry and chemistry, and geology. </p> <p>Peer-to-peer learning plays a vital role in the crawl’s success. Around 95 volunteers assisted with set-up and welcomed students into labs this year.</p> <p>According to HHMI STEM Fellow Marcus Hill ’19, the peer-to-peer interactions during Lab Crawl echo the passion, enthusiasm, and excitement students have when they are learning in those spaces. </p> <p>“Research is more than just analyzing data and presenting at conferences, it’s about the relationships you build with the faculty and fellow research students,” Hill says. “Lab Crawl provides an opportunity for [students] who haven’t had the experience to hear directly from those who play key roles in labs. [It’s a learning experience] that you can’t get from reading a poster or watching a video.” </p> <p>A Lab Crawl tradition is the “participation passports” students are given and the stickers they receive to fill them. Stickers are provided at each lab they visit, and passports can be exchanged for pizza and a chance to win a T-shirt. </p> <p>This year, by the end of the two-hour event, 85 students had turned in their participation passports, with many more making quick stops at lab demonstrations and tables as their time allotted, says CLEAR Administrative Assistant Pat Sturges. Some labs reported having more than 50 visitors.</p> <p>By all accounts, [Lab Crawl] was a success, says Rosemond, whose staff have heard from several faculty members that students had already expressed interest in working in their labs. </p> <p>“In my own visit to some labs, I noticed that the conversations were not just limited to the research, but how students can participate in research, their experiences in a given department, or even suggestions of fun or exciting courses and opportunities,” says Rosemond. “These interactions are mutually beneficial. While attendees get to learn about the research, the student volunteers have the opportunity to practice communicating about their work to a broad audience which is an important skill for all researchers.” </p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date

Find out in this installment of Who Am I?</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Department and location on campus:</strong> I work in the <a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/chemistry-biochemistry" target="_blank">chemistry and biochemistry</a> and<a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/physics-and-astronomy" target="_blank"> physics and astronomy</a> departments in the Science Center.</p> <p><strong>Job title:</strong> Chemistry and Biochemistry Resources Coordinator / Procurement and Finance Coordinator in Physics and Astronomy</p> <p><strong>What does your job entail?</strong> I support chemistry and biochemistry as the facilities department manager and safety liaison. This includes project management working closely with our building manager, facilities, and the Environmental Health and Safety officer, as well as working on creating a safe environment in the department. I oversee the purchase of large equipment from order to installation. I also monitor all budgets and funding. For physics and astronomy, I oversee the operating budget and endowed funds and act as purchaser for the department.</p> <p><strong>How many years at ��سԹ�?</strong> 29 years this August</p> <p><strong>Favorite place in ��سԹ� and why?</strong> Before COVID-19 changed our habits, I enjoyed meeting my friends for lunch at the Mandarin, where the owner not only knew our favorite meals, but also our favorite booth. I am excited to make new memories soon.</p> <p><strong>What do you enjoy most about your job?</strong> Solving problems. I am a solutions-driven person. Whether it be faculty, staff, or students in need of assistance, I am at my best when asked to help.</p> <p><strong>What do you enjoy most about the field of science?</strong> Although my direct work is in administration, I am in awe of the science that takes place in our building. Our faculty are so engaged with their research and teaching students. Our students are so eager to learn; their achievements here and afterwards are truly amazing. Knowing that all this is taking place helps me through the tough days. </p> <p><strong>Nickname(s)?</strong> Buttercup and Cindi Lou Who</p> <p><strong>Favorite Song?</strong> Anything I can dance to.</p> <p><strong>Favorite food?</strong> Chocolate</p> <p><strong>Favorite Movie?</strong> I enjoy movies with positive messages. One I watch to keep me focused is <em>The Secret: Dare to Dream</em> with Katie Holmes and Josh Lucas.</p> <p><strong>Recent Accomplishments:</strong> After watching our young students for so many years, I felt a nudge to go to college. It took approximately 10 years to reach my goal, taking classes in between working full time, dealing with health concerns, and assisting my parents in their final years. I kept going back until I acquired my certificate in Public Administration in 2020, receiving A's in every course. I believe strongly in helping others and plan on using my education to serve those in need. </p> <p><strong>Favorite Quote?</strong> "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results," by Albert Einstein.</p> <p><br> </p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2021-06-09T12:00:00Z">Wed, 06/09/2021 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Yvonne Gay</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2551">Staff</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2764">Science Center</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-programs field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25411">Physics</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25246">Biochemistry</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25306">Chemistry</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/physics-and-astronomy" hreflang="und">Physics and Astronomy</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/chemistry-biochemistry" hreflang="und">Chemistry and Biochemistry</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-caption field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__item">Cindi Manning, chemistry and biochemistry resources coordinator / procurement and finance coordinator in physics and astronomy.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Tanya Rosen-Jones '97</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Who is Judy Laushman?</h1> <p>ygay — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 16:17:48 +0000</p> <span>Who is Judy Laushman?</span> <span><span>ygay</span></span> <span><time datetime="2021-06-01T12:17:48-04:00" title="Tuesday, June 1, 2021 - 12:17">Tue, 06/01/2021 - 12:17</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Although many offices close during winter shutdown and at the end of the academic year, the world atop the Science Center has no concept of calendar breaks.

Hall set up his laboratory outside his family’s <a href="/charles-martin-hall-house" target="_blank">home</a> in an attached woodshed in ��سԹ�. On February 23, 1886, his experiments paid off. </p> <p>In this week’s photo series we visit the statue that honors this ��سԹ� pioneer and the enduring looks it has worn. </p> <p>See more of Hall's looks over the years on the <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsmTR6x8h" target="_blank">��سԹ� Flickr page</a>.</p> <hr> <p> </p> <div class="obj-center"> <figure class="captioned-image"> <figcaption>Hall’s statue dawns a straw hat while holding a scarecrow and sack full of money for Halloween.
