Coming home from war and transitioning to civilian life is a long and stressful process for soldiers. Veterans Day at Penn State Abington focused on the challenges facing today's veterans who face longer and more frequent deployments.
Jacqueline McLaughlin, associate professor of biology at Penn State Lehigh Valley, founding director of Penn State CHANCE, and chair of the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) Global Perspectives Committee (GPC), has orchestrated along with Missy Coyle, research technologist at Penn State Lehigh Valley, and other GPC committee members, an interactive poster and panel discussion event entitled, “Promoting Global Sustainability in the Teaching and Learning of Biology.”
Students work with Jackie McLaughlin, third from right, to do research with baby sea turtles during the 2014 Penn State CHANCE field experience in Costa Rica/Panama. CHANCE is one of multiple Penn State initiatives to be highlighted at a special presentation at the 2014 NABT Conference.
