Merging biology and art gives Amy Yeager a rare body of work
After living in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Romania and Senegal, where she attended small international schools, Amy Yeager ’17 thought Clark University might be a good fit. “Clark was small with a significant international community, so I thought the transition wouldn’t be so difficult,” she says. “When I got my acceptance letter, I just had a…

Professor’s research inches toward understanding superconductors
Over the past few years, the world has experienced a severe shortage of helium, a by product of natural gas extraction. And although vast amounts of helium recently were discovered in Tanzania, helium is still a finite resource on Earth. For that reason, helium is expensive. Most people might not worry about paying more for the helium gas…

‘Grammar’ lessons: Faculty-student team decoding language of the genome
As a high school student in Milton, Massachusetts, Luke Nourie took a class in biotechnology and thought, “Wow, I love this. This is what I want to do.” He could see himself pursuing a college degree tied to the field, which drives the booming economy of the Bay State and provides over 63,000 jobs. After reading about…

Undergrads’ physics research drills deep into fracking-induced quakes
Two undergraduates majoring in physics at Clark University are working with their professor, Arshad Kudrolli, to fine-tune a mathematical model that captures the development of erosion underground. Their research, part of a summer LEEP project, eventually could help scientists better understand the effects of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and other cases where fluids carve out channels and destabilize the…
