Astronaut Dr. Bernard Harris visits Summer Science Camp
June 23, 2008
Dr. Bernard Harris visited Temple’s Ambler campus on June 23 for the first ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp hosted by the College of Science and Technology.
A NASA astronaut, physician and businessman, Dr. Harris became the first African American to walk in space in 1993 and logged more than 438 hours in space and over 7.2 million miles. He has an M.D. from Texas Tech University School of Medicine and is a trained aerospace flight surgeon. His Harris Foundation supports math and science education and crime prevention programs for American youth.
Dr. Harris spoke to the campers, some of the brightest middle school students from around the region, about his own youth and the importance of dedication to one’s dreams. He then posed for pictures with the children and helped officiate a camp “raft rally.” Teams of four campers designed and built small rafts out of aluminum foil and plastic straws and tested them to see which one held the most pennies while floating in water. The two winning teams’ rafts held 181 pennies apiece.
This is the first year the College has hosted the Summer Science Camp, which is sponsored by ExxonMobil. It is a free, residential, two-week academic camp that emphasizes increasing students’ mathematics/science skills, introducing them to college life, and stimulating their interest in science as a potential career path.
Chemistry’s Matsika and Shackman receive grants
June 23, 2008
Drs. Spiridoula Matsika and Jonathan Shackman recently received separate government grants funding their research.
Dr. Matsika received $200,000 from the Department of Energy for her project "Combining High Level Ab Initio Calculations with Laser Control of Molecular Dynamics." The research aims to advance understanding of laser selective chemistry by combining high level ab initio electronic structure calculations with molecular fragmentation and isomerization experiments using shaped ultrafast laser pulses. The work will be carried out in collaboration with the experimental group of Thomas Weinacht at the Department of Physics, Stony Brook University.
Dr. Shackman received $99,975 from the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory for his project “Microfluidic Counter Flow Electrophoretic Enrichment Separations Coupled to Chiral Capillary Electrophoresis for Trace Biomarker Analysis.” The objective is the development and application of a sensitive, two-dimensional microfluidic technique combining a counter flow electrophoretic separation and a pre-concentration dimension with a chiral capillary electrophoresis dimension.
Peter Riseborough of the Physics Department selected for Lars Onsager Professorship
June 23, 2008
Dr. Peter S. Riseborough, of the Department of Physics, has been selected for the Lars Onsager Professorship by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The Professorship is an international award in memory of Nobel Prize Laureate Dr. Lars Onsager that is awarded for excellence in science in chemistry, physics or mathematics.

TUteach degrees approved
May 16, 2008
In November 2007, Temple University was one of twelve institutions to receive a National Math and Science Initiative grant to replicate the existing UTeach program at The University of Texas at Austin. On May 13, 2008, the six majors in which TUteach students will earn degrees were approved by the Temple University Board of Trustees.
Students will begin earning Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology with Teaching, Mathematics with Teaching, Chemistry with Teaching, Earth and Space Science with Teaching, Physics with Teaching and General Science with Teaching in Fall 2008. All six majors will require 50-65 science credits and 20-27 credits in UTeach pedagogy, liberal arts or research. Based on UTeach degree models, the new majors are designed to provide graduates with two separate knowledge sets; scientific content knowledge and pedagogical understanding of how to convey that information.
CST is working closely with the College of Education, the UTeach program and the National Math and Science Initiative to help Temple students planning to become middle and high school teachers to most effectively educate young people in science and technology.
Board approves new name for Geology and new Neuroscience major
May 16, 2008
The Temple University Board of Trustees approved a new name for the Geology Department and a new CST major on May 13, 2008.
Effective July 1, 2008, the Geology Department will be called the Department of Earth and Environmental Science. The name change reflects the increasing diversity of the science performed in the Department and does not require changes to the administrative or academic structure. The BS, BA and MS Geology degrees remain unchanged.
The new Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience: Cellular and Molecular will explore the relationship between cellular and molecular activity and behavior, including motor control, object recognition and feedback. The major will prepare students for graduate or professional studies in cell or molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, biomedical sciences and medicine through calculus, general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics and biology courses. The BS mirrors a new College of Liberal Arts BA focusing on neuroscience systems, behavior and plasticity.
The Board also voted to terminate the College's Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry, which was superseded by a BS in Biochemistry in 1987.

Geology's Dr. John Friel receives ASTM International Award of Merit
May 9, 2008
On May 5, 2008, Geology’s Dr. John Friel received the ASTM International Award of Merit at the May 2008 Committee Week in Denver, Colorado. The Award is given to an ASTM member for distinguished service and outstanding participation and includes the honorary title of Fellow.
Dr. Friel is Chairman of the ASTM International Subcommittee on X-ray and Electron Metallography, which has jurisdiction over nine standards. Since becoming Chair, Dr. Friel has led the development of new standards and the review of many existing guides that are in use worldwide. One of his efforts was the development of a new Standard Guide for Quantitative Analysis by Energy-Dispersive Spectroscopy, which provides good practice guidelines for using an electron microscope for metallographic purposes. In developing the Guide, Dr. Friel spearheaded a round-robin test program at nine different laboratories that produced sufficient data for a precision and bias statement.
A lecturer in CST’s Geology Department, Dr. Friel teaches Introduction to Geology and Electron Optical Techniques. He has previously been Technical Director at Princeton Gamma-Tech and a Supervisor at Bethlehem Steel Corporation’s Research Laboratories.

Chemistry Graduate Student Kerisha Bowen awarded UNSECO Young Women in Science Fellowship
Trinidad and Tobago's National Commission has selected Kerisha Bowen for a United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNSECO) Young Women in Science Fellowship for 2008. Ms. Bowen is doing synthetic organic chemistry research toward a Ph.D. in Professor Franklin Davis's group. Her dissertation will focus on "The Utilization of Sulfinimines (N-Sulfinyl Imines) in the Synthesis of Nitrogen Containing Compounds."
The UNSECO fellowship will partially fund the part of her dissertation that deals with the synthesis and utilization of pyrrolidine building blocks that are used to make drugs that are useful in the treatment of HIV, diabetes, cancer, and tuberculosis. This building block is expected to be an economic means to a variety of medicines as the current price of some of them are $30 for 5 mg.
The UNSECO Young Women in Science Fellowship is designed to help promote women who are in their final stages of their Ph.D. or have recently received their Ph.D. The fellowship also promotes camaraderie in the scientific community as fellows are required to do research outside of their sponsoring country.
