Mapping in Melbourne
In the first weeks of fall semester, the campus is abuzz with talk about what everyone did during the summer, how it sped by, and what adventures they had. For me, the most memorable part of this summer was experiencing winter in July for the first time in my life. I had the privilege of
Green Day, Sandwiches, and Horse-sized Ducks: Meet Schmid's New Faculty
We thought you ought to know – Schmid College has some new faculty members!

Science communication is something we do a great deal of here in Schmid College. Whenever we publish a blog post, help write a press release, or give a public lecture, I am reminded of an excellent PNAS paper entitled “Bringing values and deliberation to science communication” by Thomas Dietz from Michigan State.
