Testing for Bioagents Chris Geddes, Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Director, Institute of Fluorescence Right now it can take hours, if not days, to test for bioagents such as salmonella or anthrax, complicating efforts to respond when a disease is spreading or when a letter containing suspicious white powder is found in the mail. Technology developed by Chris Geddes and his colleagues at UMBC's Institute of Fluorescence (www.theinstituteoffluorescence.com) cuts that time to seconds. ]]>

Hrabowski and Summers discuss why programs that support and graduate minority students in STEM subjects are necessary. They also describe their Meyerhoff Scholars Program at UMBC, a program that has been very successful and which could be replicated at other schools. About the speakers: Dr. Hrabowski has been President of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County for 20 years. During his tenure, UMBC has become one of the top schools in the country for graduating STEM majors of all races, including African Americans. Dr. Summers is a Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UMBC and a long-time supporter of the Meyerhoff Scholars Program. His lab uses NMR to study the structure of HIV proteins and undergraduate students, including many Meyerhoff Scholars, have been key contributors to his research. ]]>
