Welcome to the real world! You have just entered Earlham College's HHMI Summer Bridge Program Homepage, aka the program "snapshot". Overview of the Program This is the homepage for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Summer Bridge Program, better known as HHMI. This program lasts three weeks and throughout the course of it students work on different areas of science. This year the program's emphasis was on the physics and biology of proteins within a cell's mitochondria. Specifically, F0-F1 ATP synthase (a protein used to produce energy) was studied. Students spend the majority of their time either attending lectures or working in the lab. Also, students employ computer technology by using programs such as Microsoft Excel, DreamWeaver, Swiss PDB viewer, and Power Point presentations. Now everyone has heard the saying "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Well, the same applies for the members of the Hughes Bridge program. Weekend activities included viewing movies such as: Seabiscuit, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, BadBoys II, and SWAT. Other activities included a trip to Cincinnati's Imax theatre, a scavenger hunt, and a trip to Paramount King's Island Amusement Park. Also, ultimate frisbee was a very popular sport for the duration of the program and most students participated in several games. Overview of the People Every year 12 people are chosen to participate (incoming freshmen and sophomores) in the Bridge Program. This year the twelve students were: Raymond Riddle, Justin Colanese, Kari Wilder-Romans, Kasey Taylor, Tessa Bricker, Claire Lawson, Arielle Yorczyk, Logan Giles, Matt Hogan, Nick Matthew, Matt Peoples, and Caroline Hackett. Hillary Dishmon, Seth Hopper, and Munirih Qualls were the three TA's and the two leading professors were Dr. Amy Mulnix, professor of biology, and Dr. John Howell, professor of physics. |
