“Aurora B Tension Sensing Mechanisms in the Kinetochore Ensure Accurate Chromosome Segregation,” by biochemistry/molecular biology majors Shelby McVey ’22, Jenna Cosby ’23, and Assistant Professor of Biology Natalie Nannas, was published in the International of Molecular Sciences.

With representation from Hamilton’s eight major science departments, the Science Research Lab Crawl on Jan. 28 gave students space to learn about student-faculty research opportunities or simply get a better understanding of the science departments.

Fueled by a dual passion for production value and the Middle Ages, Ryan Mayhan ’22 created a video about how cartographers created ideological maps of the medieval mind.

As any student will tell you, it is difficult to do well on a test when you’re sick. Recent research from Associate Professor of Biology Andrea Townsend and five students indicates that the same may be true for wild animals.

Assistant Professor of Computer Science Darren Strash recently presented a paper, co-authored with Louise Thompson '21, at the SIAM Symposium on Algorithm Engineering and Experiments (ALENEX22).

Keyhole limpets are sea snails that, despite their small size, offered a great opportunity to four Hamilton research students in Professor Patrick Reynolds’ lab. Part of the Diodora genus, these snails sit at the base of the main branch of the gastropod (snail) tree of life. As such, they provided an interesting perspective for tracking snail evolution, Reynolds said.

Associate Professor of Chemistry Max Majireck and members of his research group recently published an article in The Journal of Organic Chemistry, an American Chemical Society publication.

A summer Levitt Center project involving 11 students, three professors, and several other members of the Hamilton community began in what was perhaps an unexpected way.

This summer, Hamilton’s labs were busy with research across nearly all scientific disciplines — not least among them psychology. Over the past few weeks, Grace Kupka ’22, Elisa Matson ’23, Jennifer Klix ’24, and Sophie Maniscalco ’23 worked with Professor of Psychology Jennifer Borton on two projects, both related to the concept of defensive self-esteem

Inspired by his own family's immigrant history and a Russian history course he took with Professor Shoshana Keller, John Keirouz ’22, spent a summer researching Russian religious communities and how their experiences affected the way they related to the U.S. and the way they tried to organize and run their churches.
