CEHS Year in Review - Snapshots in Time

"A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away."  
- Eudora Welty

It's impossible to capture an entire school year in a two-minute video, but we can take snapshots in time. We hope that you will enjoy looking back on some CEHS activities from the 2014-15 school year, and perhaps it will keep these moments from running away.

Thanks for a great year. Don't forget to celebrate your successes!

Jan Myers-Newbury will speak about her work on Sunday, June 7, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. in Room 11 of the Human Sciences Building on East campus.  The talk is free and the public is invited.  A reception will follow in the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery.
"You would think that, as many times as I have unwrapped a pole after dyeing, I would become ho-hum about the results.  But it never fails:  I can't wait to see how each piece turns out.  I guess that's because I've realized I only have a certain amount of control and the rest is kismet."

As such, these RNAs are also becoming targets for drug discovery, and the drugs are rapidly entering clinical trials.
