Riina Tehver is into motors – but not the kind that go vroom-vroom. She&#8217;s a biophysicist who&#8217;s looking at some of the protein motors that work inside organic cells to transport necessary organelles and chemicals to different parts of the body.
Tehver recently was awarded a $35,000 Cottrell College Science Award to explore these protein motors. [...]]]></description>

Few people can put &#8220;iguana-catcher&#8221; on their resume, but six Denison students became experts early this summer during a research trip to the Bahamas. There, they participated in the longest-running known study of iguanas under the tutelage of Geoff Smith, associate professor of biology and amphibian ecologist.
Accompanying Smith were Lenny Mills &#8217;11 from Pittsburgh; Caitlyn [...]]]></description>

It was an unusual thing for a doctor to do, but one day this spring, Paul Bryson &#8217;00 took to the field at a Cleveland Indians home game and belted out the national anthem. &#8220;I was nervous,&#8221; he says, &#8220;but I would do it again.&#8221;
Music and science—those have been Bryson&#8217;s favorites for a long time. [...]]]></description>
