Sciences Michael Galaty’s (soc.-anthrop.) volume Rethinking Mycenaen Palaces (UCLA, 1999) was well reviewed in The London Times Higher Education Supplement. He delivered “Preliminary Results of the 1998-1999 Field Seasons of the Mallakastra Regional Archaeological Project” at the Colloque International Universite de Bretagne-Sud Lorient “L’Albania dans l’Europe prehistorique (du Paleolithique a l’Age du Fer).” James Harris (geo.) was invited to present his research on Shallow Seismic Reflection Imaging of the Big Creek Fault Zone in the Lower Mississippi Valley at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Reno, Nevada. Mark Lynch’s (math.) paper “A consequence of the nearness of rationals to reals” has appeared in Mathematical Fallacies, Flaws and Flimflam. The text is a collection of errors that have appeared in mathematical literature. His was an intentional error written as a challenge to mathematicians to find the mistake. Lynch’s paper, “Limits, continuity, and bow ties: Rigor without epsilon or delta” was accepted for publication in the International Journal of mathematical Education in Science and Technology. Sarah McGuire’s (bio.) paper “Extragenic suppressors of the nimX2 Mutation of Aspergillus nidulans Affect Nuclear Division, Septation, and Conidiation” was accepted for publication in Genetics, the journal of the Genetics Society of America. Twelve of her current and former research students are co-authors of the paper. Jim Purser (com. sci.) taught “Educational Technologies for Support of Sychronous and Asynchronous Learning” at the Technology Center for the Associated Colleges of the South in Georgetown, Texas. He also designed and coordinated educational technology workshops at Millsaps during May, June, and July. As a result of Connie Schimmel’s (edu.) research and work in the teaching of reading to all students, including the deaf, learning disabled, disadvantaged or blind, she was invited to give presentations in Georgia, Texas, Arkansas, and Virginia during the summer. She also gave a review of her methods at Gallaudet University, the only liberal arts university for the Deaf, where she was invited to be a part of the faculty development series. Donald Schwartz (comp. sci.) received a software donation worth $935,000 from the Oracle Academic Alliance Initiative. The donation includes multiple licenses for the newest version of their Database Software Suite and Support Packages. Schwartz plans to use this software in his research and database classes. Bill Storey (hist.) presented a paper about South African gun design to the annual meeting of the Society for the History of Technology in Munich, Germany. Johnnie-Marie Whitfield (chem.) was invited to be one of 70 participants at a Leadership Initiative in Science Education in Philadelphia as a part of Chemical Heritage’s opening year celebration, and was a participant in a Symposium on Polymers in the Curriculum at the Biennial Conference on Chemical Education in Ann Arbor, Mich. She was invited to make a presentation at the International Conference on Chemical Education in Budapest, Hungary, and made a presentation in a Symposium on Historically Important Chemical Educators at the American Chemical Society National Meeting in Washington, D.C.
