The National Science Foundation has awarded a three-year $400,000 grant to Professor of Physics Bethe Scalettar at Lewis & Clark and Professor of Physics Ralph Widenhorn at Portland State University. The funding will be used to create biomedical imaging lab activities that will be used in undergraduate courses around the country in conjunction with their related textbook.
Watzek Librarian Parvaneh Abbaspour recently presented new alumna Cyan Cowap BA ’19 with an intriguing opportunity to illustrate the biomedical imaging textbook that Professor of Physics Bethe Scalettar and Lewis & Clark law school alumnus James Abney are writing.
Ben Robinson ’15 is working alongside Professor of Physics Bethe Scalettar to study the ways in which high-resolution microscopes can help us understand memory formation. Their cutting-edge research contributes to a field currently studying the causes of diseases like Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s.
