Reinventing Waterville: Mike Roy And A Host Of Colbians Rollup Their Sleeves As The City Charts Its Future, Gerry Boyle

Colby Magazine

Mike Roy '74 can picture two Watervilles.

One is the humming, smokestack city where he grew up, a community built around mills and factories that churned out cloth, paper and fancy shirts, where downtown sidewalks teemed with shoppers and schools were filled to bursting

The other is a city where mills are still, or even gone, as are the big Main Street department stores. Hospitals and colleges are the biggest employers and Main Street is lined with restaurants and shops. There is an amphitheater on the riverfront, and the former Hathaway Shirt factory is home to boutiques and galleries, artists' …

Far And Near: The Conservation Movement Is Taking Hold In Unexpected Sectors, And Colby Alumni Are At The Forefront, From Tanzania To Maine, Sara Blask

Colby Magazine

There was a time not so long ago, says Sharon Treat, when environmental initiatives almost always took the form of mandates handed down by lawmakers. Green was merely a color, not a movement. Business and industry saw environmentalists as the enemy—and vice versa.

Times have changed.

A Strategic Plan: Two-Year Effort Reaffirms Colby's Priorities And Sets Future Course, Stephen Collins

Colby Magazine

Individuals need to do it, and so do institutions. It is critically important, every once in a while, to pause and take stock. What are we doing? Is it the right thing? Does it still make sense, or has something fundamental changed? What are others doing? Is there a better way?

As Colby approached the 21st century, other transitions loomed for the institution as well, not least among them the first new president in more than 20 years. It was a perfect opportunity, trustees recognized, to assess what the College is all about and to think about its future.

Mechanistic Studies Of Intracellular Delivery Of Proteins By Cell-Penetrating Peptides In Cyanobacteria, Betty Revon Liu, Yue-Wern Huang, Han-Jung Lee

Biological Sciences Faculty Research & Creative Works

Background: The plasma membrane plays an essential role in selective permeability, compartmentalization, osmotic balance, and cellular uptake. The characteristics and functions of cyanobacterial membranes have been extensively investigated in recent years. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are special nanocarriers that can overcome the plasma membrane barrier and enter cells directly, either alone or with associated cargoes. However, the cellular entry mechanisms of CPPs in cyanobacteria have not been studied.

Results: In the present study, we determine CPP-mediated transduction efficiency and internalization mechanisms in cyanobacteria using a combination of biological and biophysical methods. We demonstrate that both Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and Synechococcus …

Assessing The Potential Contribution Of Vacant Land To Urban Vegetable Production And Consumption In Oakland, California, Nathan Mcclintock, Jenny Cooper, Snehee Khandeshi

Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations

As urban agriculture grows in popularity, researchers are attempting to quantify its potential contribution to local food systems. We present the results of a vacant land inventory conducted in collaboration with the HOPE Collaborative, a multi-stakeholder, community-based initiative in Oakland, CA, USA. Vacant lots, open space, and underutilized parks with agricultural potential were identified using GIS and aerial imagery. Using visual interpretation, we identified 1201 ac (486.4 ha) of public land and 337 ac (136.4 ha) of private land that could potentially be used for vegetable production. Based on USDA loss-adjusted consumption data, we calculated the potential contribution of these …

Science, Technology, And Catholic Identity In The Education Of Professionals, Keith Douglass Warner O.F.M., David S. Caudill

Faculty Publications

The reception of Ex corde ecclesiae has been uneven across the disciplines, with scant interest in distinctly Catholic pedagogies outside of the humanities. This essay argues that Catholic universities can distinguish themselves by how they present science and technology in their curriculum by drawing from the interdisciplinary field of “science, technology & society,” or STS. We argue that discussions about Catholic identity, science, and human values can and should extend into the curriculum while simultaneously safeguarding academic freedom, and that this can readily be done in professional schools, such as law and engineering. We outline the contributions that STS as …
