The Robert J. Malyk Scholarship for Biology Document prepared by Bob Malyk, April 2018 The Robert J. Malyk Scholarship for Biology The Robert J. Malyk Scholarship Prize for AP Biology (original name) was endowed in 2000 and the first presentation was made at the Prize Day ceremony in 2004 with the intention of the scholarship to be awarded to a student who not only achieved the highest ranking in AP Biology in a particular year but was also continuing on to study the Biological Sciences in a post-secondary institution. These criteria changed in 2014 to accommodate the school's changing the focus of the academic program from Advanced Placement (AP) to the International Baccalaureate (IB). Beginning in the 2013-2014 academic year, the Robert J. Malyk Scholarship for Biology (new name) of $1000.00 will be presented to the student in Senior Level Biology (OSSD or IB2) who foremost is continuing on to a post-secondary program in the Biological and Life Sciences and has achieved a recognized level of excellence in their studies of Biology at Ridley College. What are they doing in 2018? Dr. Mary Rose Bufalino ’04 (AP Biology) Mary Rose received a B.Sc. (Hon.) in Biology and Psychology from Wilfrid Laurier University and a Ph.D. in Medical Biophysics from the University of Toronto where she researched neuroscience and cell biology. During her Ph.D., she developed an interest in business when she took a field-based consulting course at the Rotman School of Management. This led her to management consulting where she was a Manager in the Strategy & Operations group of KPMG Canada. Mary Rose has worked with clients across a variety of industries – including health care, non-profit, and consumer markets – to improve customer experience, facilitate change, and manage business transformation. Currently, she is a Senior Manager at TD Bank where she works with the digital team on their customer experience strategy. Dr. Caileigh Pilmer ‘05 (AP Biology) Caileigh received her BSc. Honours from McGill University and her MD from the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, at the University of Western Ontario. She completed her Family Medicine residency at the University of Toronto, and then a combined Women's Health/Breast Disease fellowship. She now has her own family medicine practice, works as a GP-Oncologist at Princess Margaret Hospital, and teaches first year medical students clinical skills at Women's College Hospital. Dr. Alexandra Chung ’06 (AP Biology) Alex received her B.Sc. in life science and a M.Sc. in medical biophysics from the University of Toronto. She recently completed a medical degree in Queensland, Australia and is currently working as a medical intern at a regional hospital in central Queensland. Document prepared by Bob Malyk, April 2018 Dr. Michael Dorrington ’06 (AP Biology) Michael received his B.Sc. in Life Sciences from the University of British Columbia and his Ph.D. in Infection and Immunity from McMaster University. His work at McMaster was supported by multiple scholarships from the Ontario government and the Canadian Lung Association. Michael is currently a post-doctoral fellow in the Laboratory of Systems Biology at the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease in Washington, D.C. Michael’s current main project is trying to tease apart interactions between immune cells and intracellular bacteria during the process of pathogen uptake and the subsequent immune response. By sequencing all of the messenger RNA in an infected cell, he can sort the host cell genes as well as the bacterial genes that are most active at a given point in infection. His team can then look at how gene activity in the host cell is driving a subsequent response in the bacteria and vice-versa. The tools he has available at the NIH are incredible and it's sometimes difficult to decide how to approach a problem. Dr. Christy Walker ’07 (AP Biology) Dr. Christy Walker '07 (AP Biology) Christy received her B.Sc. (Hon) with a specialization in animal physiology from The University of Western Ontario and recently completed her veterinarian studies at The University of Guelph.

Ji Hyun is currently in the radiology department, and for 2 years she will be rotating through 20 different departments in 8 different hospitals. In her own words, “It's amazing to see how things I've learnt through textbooks and lectures come together in a clinical setting. I Document prepared by Bob Malyk, April 2018 feel like I'm finally getting closer to my dreams. “ Currently, her goal is to become a clinician that also does medical research. Ji Hyun wants to utilize her undergraduate major and study immune tolerance. She is considering returning to Canada or the US to get a PhD. Jordan Meyers ’11 (AP Biology) Jordan received a B.Sc. from the University of Guelph and will be graduating from the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine at McMaster University this summer.

  • Surgery at Sea: an Analysis of Shipboard Medical Practitioners and Their Instrumentation
    Surgery at Sea: An Analysis of Shipboard Medical Practitioners and Their Instrumentation By Robin P. Croskery Howard April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. Lynn Harris Major Department: Maritime Studies, History Abstract: Shipboard life has long been of interest to maritime history and archaeology researchers. Historical research into maritime medical practices, however, rarely uses archaeological data to support its claims. The primary objective of this thesis is to incorporate data sets from the medical assemblages of two shipwreck sites and one museum along with historical data into a comparative analysis. Using the methods of material culture theory and pattern recognition, this thesis will explore changes in western maritime medical practices as compared to land-based practices over time.

  • Sonardyne Fusion Acoustic Positioning System Used on the Mary Rose Excavation 2003
    The Sonardyne Fusion Acoustic Positioning System used on the Mary Rose Excavation 2003 Peter Holt Sonardyne International Ltd August 2003 Fusion APS used on Mary Rose Excavation 2003 Introduction The Ministry of Defence may need to widen and straighten the channel approach to Portsmouth Harbour to accommodate their new aircraft carriers. The dredging work could affect the site of the Mary Rose historic wreck so what remains on the site had to be removed. When the hull of the Mary Rose was recovered from the seabed some of the ship was not recovered, some timbers and artefacts were reburied while the remains of the bow castle were never investigated. A multi-phase project was put together by the Mary Rose Trust with the aim of recovering the buried artefacts and debris, excavating the spoil mounds to remove any artefacts, undertaking visual and magnetic searches and delimiting the extent of the debris field. The fieldwork for 2003 included using an excavation ROV to remove the top layer of silt that had covered the wreck leaving the delicate excavation to be done by divers with airlifts. A Sonardyne Fusion Acoustic Positioning System (APS) was used on the 4 week project to provide high accuracy positioning for support vessel, ROV and divers. Archaeological and Historical Background The Mary Rose was one of the first ships built during the early years of the reign of King Henry VIII, probably in Portsmouth. She served as Flagship during Henry’s First French War and was substantially refitted and rebuilt during her 36 year long life. The Mary Rose sank in 1545 whilst defending Portsmouth from the largest invasion fleet ever known, estimated at between 30,000 and 50,000 individuals and between 150 and 200 vessels.

  • TUDOR FURNITURE from the MARY ROSE David Knell
    TUDOR FURNITURE FROM THE MARY ROSE David Knell The warship Mary Rose was built at Portsmouth in 150 9-10 as part of a major programme to strengthen the English navy and improve coastal defences as a means of safeguarding merchant ships using the Channel. On 19 July 1545, nine years after she had been partially rebuilt and refitted, the Mary Rose sank at Spithead, off Portsmouth, during a defensive skirmish with a large French fleet intending to invade England. As she was hoisting sail and going about to assist the Henry Grace a Dieti, the English flagship, the Mary Rose suddenly heeled and it seems that the weight of the water pouring through her open gunports made the list irreversible and, inevitably, fatal.1 The ship descended rapidly to the seabed, where she lay heeled at 60 degrees from the vertical with the port side uppermost. By the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century the exposed port side and upper structures, weakened by biological attack and eroded by the abrasive currents, had collapsed and a hard layer of shelly clay had formed over the remaining silt-filled starboard side, protecting it and its contents beneath the seabed.2 The lack of oxygen under this layer decelerated the microbiological degradation of the concealed part of the ship and many organic materials have been surprisingly well preserved. Unfortunately, iron — particularly wrought iron — has not fared as well and, with the exception of guns, has for the most part corroded away leaving only residual traces. The wreck of the Mary Rose was rediscovered in 1971 and, after eleven years of arduous and meticulous excavation, the remains of the hull were raised and are now housed at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
