Georgia College’s Chemistry program has been added to the list of institutions approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS). This prestigious honor signifies excellence and rigor of education that provides students with the knowledge, experience and communication skills to be effective chemists. “I am excited to share this news with you,” said Dr. Costas Spirou, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. “The faculty did an excellent job, working closely with the American...
Georgia College’s Science Education Center will host 57 middle schoolers today, Thursday, Nov. 11. Professors and students will guide youth through various types of chemical reactions, giving them a sense of what it’s like to major in science. The event, called “Day in the Lab,” will be from 10 to 11:30 am in Herty Hall, room 339. “It is my hope we can build a better relationship with our local middle school students to keep them excited and interested in science,” said Dr. Catrena...

From an early age, Martin Alcantar, ’18, has always been fascinated by the sciences. As he grew, he realized that one of the most interesting branches of science was studying biological processes and the chemistry that drives them. Later, he would find that his work could help alleviate food insecurity. “My specific career path was not chosen with a job in mind, but rather from a want to further my education and gain a higher level of understanding of what drives life,” Alcantar said...
As intergalactic zombies––that eat their sister stars and wander galaxies like the walking dead––neutron stars and black holes have all the makings of a hit movie. Now, there’s a “first-of-its-kind” map showing exactly where these roaming corpses of stars were born and how far they’ve traveled, thanks to a Georgia College professor and a string of physics students over the past seven years. “This type of research is typically done at Harvard or UC Berkeley. So,” Bodaghee said, “it’s...
