Chenghu Li, a sophomore physics major from Jefferson City, Mo., and Matthew Beaky, associate professor of physics, presented the results of research conducted at the Truman Observatory at the 2006 Mid-American Regional Astrophysics Conference in Kansas City, Mo. Li's presentation was titled "Neglected Binary Star Parameters Determined from Archival Images and Direct Observation," and Beaky spoke on "Detecting Extrasolar Planetary Transits Through Photoelectric Photometry." The latter project described work carried out by Violet Poole, a senior physics major from St. Charles, Mo., as part of the summer 2005 Next STEP Program.
Truman's NSSHLA chapter, the Communication Disorders Association (CoDA), hosted a Spring Workshop on Feb. 17. Angela Saus, M.A. CCC-SLP and Denise Sangoi, B.S., OTR/L made a presentation on "Organize and Puzzle: An Integrated Approach to Treating Communication Disorders and Sensory Needs."
The Society of Physics Students (SPS) has recognized Violet Poole, a senior physics major from St. Charles, Mo., as one of the SPS 2005-2006 Leadership Awardees. Poole was selected from a group of exceptional applicants for her outstanding academic performance and high level of SPS activity. She will receive a scholarship in the amount of $2,000. The SPS plans to feature its scholarship winners on its Web site at http://www.spsnational.org/programs/spsscholarships.htm and possibly in an upcoming article in the SPS Observer newsletter or in the Radiations magazine.
