"What's my Research?", organized by David Ojcius.
Interdisciplinary presentation at University of the Pacific by chemistry professor Skylar Carlson and conservatory professor Eric Dudley.Â
Skylar spoke on understanding the role molecules play in nature. Through teamwork and undergraduate research, her team screens natural products for molecules with biological activity, looking for anticancer, antibiotic, or other activity. Eric spoke (and sung) on poly-stylistic practices in singing and the exploration of new musical works at the boundaries of genre, including some work that was nominated recently for a Grammy.
