Erin Goley, an associate professor of biological chemistry at the Hopkins School of Medicine, presented a talk entitled “How to Divide a Bacterial Cell: Cytoskeletal Control of Cell Wall Metabolism” as part of the Department of Biological Chemistry’s Tuesday Seminar Series.
New compound has big implications for clean energy Researchers at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland discovered a new type of chemical compound that has the potential to make ceramic fuel cells a practical clean energy solution. Ceramic fuel cells have long been suggested as an alternative to fossil fuels but have not been widely implemented because of their high operating temperature, which results in a short life span. These fuel cells are a promising avenue for emissions reduction as they emit very low amounts of emissions and can convert chemical energy into electrical energy with high efficiency.
During their undergraduate studies, pre-health students tend to take a variety of courses in science and mathematics in an attempt to fulfill the prerequisites for the graduate program of their choice. The required completion of specific courses often makes it difficult for pre-health students to explore other areas of study, such as the humanities.
Computational Medicine Night, which was held on March 3, offered students a chance to learn more about the undergraduate computational medicine minor and meet academics in the field.
Climate change and global warming affect the weather in more ways than you can think of, and changing weather affects humans in even more ways. Last week, I discussed how climate change affected health. This week, I’ll be talking about how climate change affects the climate and weather.
A month ago, I wrote this column on advice for applying to summer opportunities — namely research and internships. I told you guys to do your research on opportunities, figure out what you want and apply. Apply apply apply apply.
In recent years, the opioid crisis has become one of the United States’ most pressing public health issues. Countless news articles, heartbreaking photos and harrowing documentaries have been released to the public in order to raise awareness about this unsettling issue.
Harindra Fernando gave a talk titled “Monsoon Intraseasonal Oscillations in Equatorial Atmosphere and Oceans” on Feb. 28 in Hodson Hall. The talk was sponsored by the Center for Environmental and Applied Fluid Mechanics as part of their weekly seminar series and hosted by Rui Ni, an assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering at Hopkins.
History helps us learn from the successes and failures of the past to direct our actions for the future.
People are always concerned about health. Climate change has many noted health effects, but this is rarely the focus of discussions of climate change.
The Whiting School of Engineering invited panelists Anita Samarth and Laura Bossi to discuss salary negotiation for women in industry, as part of the event series Hopkins Engineers Week on Wednesday, Feb. 19.
I’ve decided that for this edition of STEM major survival guide, we’ll be doing some myth debunking on a topic that is quite near and dear to my heart: BME-ing.
Most college students instantly recognize a Solo cup. Its distinctive bright red color can be seen scattered among party-goers in late-night raves. Yet this color masks a darker reality.
Think dating is hard? Some birds have to do a perfect moonwalk to score a mate. This Valentines-inspired piece explores the mating rituals of four bird species.
Shubhayu Bhattacharyay, a senior studying Biomedical Engineering at Hopkins, recently received the Gates Cambridge Scholarship.
The coronavirus has ignited many social and political issues. Racist discrimination and harassment have been observed around the globe, including in the United States.
Mathematics — four syllables that evoke a wide array of emotions and responses. Many of these emotions that arise are rooted in high school experiences of extensive formula memorizing and glitching of graphing calculators. However, mathematics is not simply a list of trigonometric identities.
At the intersection of art and science is science imaging, which tells visual stories of scientific processes. However, compared to other art genres, images from science rarely get much attention in art galleries.
Sakul Ratanalert, a lecturer in the department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Hopkins, focuses his research on a specific type of DNA nanostructure referred to as DNA origami.
