2010 Research Colloquium
The 18th Annual Scientific Research Colloquium
was held at Berry College April 6-7, and 50+ mathematics and science majors
presented posters or gave oral presentations. Tyler McCaslin was one of
the plenary session speakers. The two-day Colloquium was held
concurrently with the college-wide student scholarship symposium. School
of MNS student presentations were judged by our faculty, and awards were
presented during a research banquet that was held the evening of April 12th. Following the banquet, Dr. James Sartin of Auburn University gave a very useful
presentation in the Science Lecture Hall on "Developing a Strategy to
Maintain Food Intake in Serious Illness."
