I looked through it all and found three Impressionist pieces—by Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas, and Chagall—something about that period and style appealed to me,” Jones said. “That evening I went to a place like our version of Wal-Mart and bought three un- stained frames and some stain. I went home and, on newspaper in my living room, stained, matted, and then hung them. That brought me to the conclusion that I liked art and wanted to collect it. I knew that if I was going to be really serious about collecting I was going to have to seek out and collect some original works of art.” As Jones began to immerse himself in the art community and attend major exhibi- tions, he realized African American art was vastly underrepresented in public collections. It was then that he set his goal of collecting American artwork with a particular emphasis on African American art. “Building an art collection is rarely perceived as a radical or political act,” Amaki said. “But there is a distinct aggressiveness to the acquisitions methodology of Paul R. Jones that suggests just that.” As Jones began purchas- ing African American art, he often dealt with the artists Jones Collection directly since many were not represented in commercial galleries.

Discoveries Bloom from UA-Cuba Initiative

S a r a h C o l w e l l

After hiking all morning through a Cuban forest on the third day of a five-day botany explora- tion trip, Dr. John Clark, assistant professor in the College’s Department of Biological Scienc- es, was stopped along the side of the trail with a group of Cuban botanists to eat lunch when he saw something out of the corner of his eye. Clark holding a Rhytidophyllum species, standing next to Cuban hosts (left to right) Iralys Ventosa from “I knew it was something we had never seen before, but I really wasn’t sure what it was the Instituto de Ecolgìa y Sistemàtica, Alberto Torres until we got back to the United States,” Clark said. Bilbao and Jesùs Matos from the Empresa National What Clark found was Rhytidophyllum rhodocalyx, a plant species that hadn’t been collected para la Protecciòn de la Flora y Fauna. since the 1800s and one that many scientists weren’t even sure existed or thought was extinct. “It was probably one of the rarest of that plant species on the island if you consider that it was the only popula- tion we came upon after having walked through the forest for five days,” Clark said. “Prior to our find, people were not even sure if it was a good species because the only de- scription they had was based on a poorly made specimen that only had one collection and didn’t have a complete flower.” Clark’s rediscovery of Rhytidophyllum rhodocalyx was the second collection ever made of the plant and the first time that the species was collected in flower. This remark- able rediscovery was just one of several plant species that Clark rediscovered on his expedition to Cuba in 2008. In total, Clark rediscovered about 10 plant species that hadn’t been collected since before the Cuban revolution. He also was the first person to photograph some 10 differ- ent plant species on the island. Clark found Rhytidophyllum rhodocalyx and the other plants by retracing the steps of early naturalists and explor- ers who visited the island prior to the Cuban revolution in 1950. Plant life on the island, which is some of the world’s most unique, was extensively collected before the Cuban revolution; however, very little of it was photographed and very little post-revolution information exists on the island’s rarest species. Studying Cuba’s plant diversity has been an unattainable goal for many U.S. botanists for decades because of travel restrictions between Cuba and the United States. All of those things are what make the job of conducting research and studying plant life in Cuba so exciting, according to Clark. “One out of every two plants is endemic to those mountains and not found anywhere else in the world,” Clark said. “Because of that any field day there is precious.” Clark’s research in Cuba was done under a general license from the Department of Treasury that allows individuals doing research in their professional areas to travel to Cuba. It is an outgrowth of The University of Alabama’s eight-year old UA-Cuba Initiative, led by the College of Arts and Sciences, which also provides opportunities for students to take classes and conduct research and for faculty to teach. “I never thought I would be able to study in Cuba. Being able to go to there and look for stuff is, in and of itself, a privilege,” said Clark, who is the director of the herbarium at the UA Museum of Natural History. Clark’s research from his trips to Cuba have appeared in two scholarly journals and have been incorporated into his lec- tures at UA.

C h ri s Bryant and Sarah C o l w e l l

For his research in groundwater issues, Dr. Chunmiao Zheng, a professor in the College’s Department of Geological Sciences, has been chosen for a prestigious international lectureship with the Geological Soci- ety of America (GSA). He also has been selected to be a part of a research team to clean up an old nuclear waste site. Zheng is one of the world’s leading experts in predicting the migration of contaminated groundwater. In 2008 the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science invited Zheng to join a group of fellow scien- tists in discovering how contamination of the groundwater is occurring at an old nuclear waste site called the Hanford Site. Located in the desert of southeastern Washington State, the Hanford Site was the home of nuclear reactors and processing plants from 1944 to 1987. For more than 40 years nuclear waste seeped into the ground near the Columbia River. Contrary to predictions by scientists in the 1940s, the waste has not dis- appeared from the ecosystem; it still contaminates the groundwater. Today’s cleanup efforts at the site are multiple and extensive. The Department of Energy (DOE) spends about $2 billion annually on cleanup at the site. “Our goal is to understand how contaminants migrate in the subsurface, which is characterized by great complexities,” says Zheng. “We then apply that understanding to predictions of transport migration. If we can understand the conditions in which contaminants move and transform at Hanford, then we are in a great position to apply the knowledge to other sites.” The 46-year-old Zheng was invited to join the multidisciplinary research team, in large part, because of the international success of a computer model he developed, a model that took shape in the late 1980s Dr. Tony Freyer (top) and Dr. Willian Keel while he was working on his doctorate. Zheng has continued to improve the model since his arrival at The University of Alabama in 1993. His collaborators include College Faculty Books two UA mathematicians, Drs. Patrick Wang and Tsun Zee Mai.

China was unlike anything I’d experienced before. It was like taking everything about American culture and doing the exact opposite.

An intense level of excitement filled the air. China, for a brief period, wasn’t really China. It became this melting pot of cultures that enveloped the city and its inhabitants. I was so happy to be even a small part of it.

Su san Gorin, Senior Hometown: Huntsville, Ala. Cuba The things that one can see firsthand in Cuba were almost unfathomable to me a month ago. What Americans see on television is very different from the everyday reality for Cubans. The people are very kind and always open to making a new friend. As for me, the visit to the Museum of the Revolution gave me an understanding of how Cubans see the revolution. It presented the revolution from a different perspective. G ibrán Hernández, Junior Hometown: Houston, Texas Field trip to a Cuban baseball game.

From classes at the University of Havana—a University with a rich history of student movements and demands for change—to the packed Cuban buses (called las guaguas) that travel around the city, I am enjoying every day of this wonderful opportunity. I am looking forward to bringing back a new perspective on an often misunderstood country and its people. M att Belote, Sophomore Hometown: Granite Bay, Calif.

It is an honor to be part of the small number of Americans studying here, and I am thankful for the opportunity to sit among Cuban students every week. It is encouraging that despite the differences between our governments, the Cuban people are friendly and just as curious about us as we are about them. Despite all that I have read in books and learned in museums, I believe I have developed a better perspective about Cuba and its people by walking down the lively Malecon at sunset, sitting in a crammed guagua on the way to class, or waiting in line for the famous Coppelia ice cream on a hot day.
