Haverford College's Koshland Integrated Natural Sciences Center

Welcome

The Marian E. Koshland Integrated Natural Sciences Center (KINSC) is a platform for curricular and scholarly discussions among Haverford College's Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, and Psychology. A focus of the KINSC is the development of innovative curricula in interdisciplinary areas, such as biochemistry, biophysics, neurobiology, and materials science. The Center also seeks to promote research initiatives in rapidly emerging fields of study, such as nanoscience and bioinformatics, not traditionally represented at Liberal Arts Colleges. Through interactions with the Center for Humanities and the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, the KINSC explores the impact of science and technology on society.

Undergraduate Science Research Symposium
at Haverford College

The 5th annual Regional Undergraduate Research Symposium will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2008. Students and faculty from the departments of Astronomy, Biology, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Environmental Science, Geology (Geoscience), Mathematics, Physics, Psychology and related fields from Bryn Mawr, Dickinson, Franklin and Marshall, Gettysburg, Haverford, Swarthmore, and Ursinus Colleges are expected to participate.

Registration for this symposium will be available online at this site in the near future.

Students from Biology Professor Iruka Okeke's Biology 124 course are presenting their work in the KINSC Link.

Eleven of these students have written or co-written biographies of these scientists, which have been published in the Journal of Infection in Developing Countries as part of a special feature on science in resource-poor regions. Check out the news coverage and video of the event.

This fall, student and faculty works from Haverford students and faculty featured in a Cantor-Fitzgerald Art Gallery exhibit

This fall, student and faculty works from Haverford students and faculty were featured in a Cantor-Fitzgerald Art Gallery exhibit of multimedia prints by noted science photographer Felice Frankel,and curated by physics faculty member Suzanne Amador Kane.

Check out the Photos from the opening

"Centers of Learning, Discovery and Renewal" Panel Discussion. A Panel Discussion with the directors of the three centers and a student research symposium featuring the work of selected students

Following the presentation, dozens of student researchers from all disciplines presented their work at a "poster display" reception in Zubrow Commons of the Koshland Integrated Natural Sciences Center.

See photos from the event.
