Society of Science Teachers Convention –Spring 2002
-
Presented with five other biology teachers our work
done at the Center for BioMolecular Modeling (CBM) of the Milwaukee
School of Engineering (MSOE) designing rapid-prototype models of the
ribosome and other molecules involved in translation, which is the
assembly of proteins by ribosomes in a cell. Mentor: Dr. Timothy
Herman
National Association of Biology Teachers Convention -
October 2006
-
Presented “Bird Flu Knocking at the Door” with Karen
DeBoer of Kettle Moraine HS, based on two summers of work on the
Hemagglutin Project under the mentorship of Dr. Timothy Herman,
Director of the Center for BioMolecular Modeling (MSOE). Hemagglutinin
is a spike protein on the surface of the Influenza A virus which
undergoes a dramatic conformational change during the infection
process.
