2009 plenary speaker, Dr. Kimberly Nixon
2009 Berea College Research Symposium
The reserach symposium held each fall the same weekend that the Berea College Trustees visit campus is an opportunity for the students and faculty to share research work with each other as well as these important campus visitors. This has been organized by the science departments in the past but participation is open to all members of the college community. In recent years we have structured the symposium with both talks and poster presentations as well as a plenary session.
The program for Fall 2009 has not yet been set, but the event will be held on Friday, October 23rd starting after lunch and concluding with a plenary talk by Dr. Kimbery Nixon who works at the University of Kentucky in the college of pharmacy. Kim studies how alcohol interacts with neural stem cells. Students and faculty interested in this event should either contact Matthew Saderholm of the Chemistry department or Dawn Anderson of the Biology department. Alternatively a student may elect to register online via the link on the Chemistry department web server.
We will start at 2:30 PM with a poster session in the lobby of the science building with posters from various fields (in the past this included chemistry, biology, physics, psychology, industrial arts, computer science, physical education & health, and mathematics.) We then move into dual lecture sesssions at 4 PM while continuing the posters in the lobby. Generally one seminar section is devoted to biological sciences and the other to physical sciences. Other disciplines are also welcome to give a talk and are placed in one section or the other based on research topic.
