Amy Treonis, an associate professor at the University of Richmond, will be spending five months teaching and researching in Nepal after winning a Fulbright Scholar award.
Students and faculty first reported sightings of elaborate architectural white board drawings in the Gottwald Center for the Sciences three weeks ago, but the artist, who leaves behind nothing but a bear claw signature, remains anonymous.
University of Richmond students presented their summer research Sept.10 in the Gottwald Science Center during the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Science Symposium. The poster session featured students who received HHMI grants to research during the summer as well as other summer researchers. Students created posters explaining their labs and findings and spoke with faculty, students and visitors attending the session.

Not all of us are lucky enough to be enrolled in Ecology 200 for a small portion of our lives. As one of the lucky ones, I thought I'd share a few of the more interesting aspects of Charles Darwin's observations about various animal species with all those unlucky students who are missing out.

In one room students were making double helix DNA models out of Twizzlers and Gummy Bears. In another room they were playing an intense game of DNA Jeopardy, where someone was always quick to raise a hand and answer the question. Elementary school students were learning the names and functions of cell components and made models out of Jello-O, sprinkles and jellybeans.

The University of Richmond is paving the way for a new way to study science, one that breaks down the barriers between biology, chemistry, physics, math and computer science and fuses them into a single science "supercourse" for first-year students.
The number of students choosing to major in philosophy has risen dramatically over the past few years, according to the New York Times, but the trend has had only a small effect on numbers at the University of Richmond.
Richmond College senior Matt Luchansky and 2007 graduate Katie Weber received highly competitive graduate research fellowships that will fund research at any institution for up to three years.
