    The magazine of the College of Science at the University of Notre Dame Winter 2010 COLLABORATE Working together in a joint intellectual effort Letter from the Dean this edition of notre dame science focuses on collaborations. The acceleration of breakthrough discovery in science is a direct result of the acceleration in collaboration. We are more than a century away from Nobel’s requirement that no more than three scientists could receive his prize, and light years away from the days of the white-coated scientist working alone in a laboratory. Hundreds of scientists in such laborato- ries as Fermilab and CERN are investigating the origins of the universe. Notre Dame researchers among them have participated in the discovery of single quark production. Laboratories where faculty, postdoctoral asso- ciates, graduate students, and undergraduates collaborate on the Notre Dame campus are studying protein pathways and mathematical logic. Some of these collaborations are within departments. Some are across the University, such as the Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Bio- complexity (ICSB). Some bring researchers together with clinicians, such as gregory p. crawford the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute and the Ara Par- William K. Warren Foundation Dean seghian Medical Research Foundation. Still other collaborations form when of the College of Science, instructs our scientists partner with organizations such as The Nature Conservancy. science-business interns. The new ESTEEM—Engineering, Science, Technology and Entrepreneur- ship Excellence Master’s—program and a new Scientific Entrepreneurship course for undergraduates expose students to the breadth of knowledge they will need in the modern world. New leaders on campus, including the deans of the Graduate School, the College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Letters and the director of the Office of Technology Transfer share our emphasis on collaboration, and we will see more joint ventures with them in the future.

    THE IRISH PENNANT Naval ROTC University of Notre Dame Spring 2012 Notre Dame Hosts Annual Naval Leadership Weekend MIDN 2/C Robert Murphy , USNR A Notre Dame Naval ROTC tradition for seventeen years, this year‟s Naval Leadership Weekend was a tremendous success. Midshipmen Coor- dinators, MIDN 2/C Madeleine Anderson and MIDN 2/C Kevin Hickey, and the NLW staff, coordinated the event. Their hard work was evident throughout the weekend. Over the course of two days, there were six sym- posiums, with four held on Friday and two on Saturday. In addition to the six symposiums, there were three special events on Saturday. These includ- ed an ethical decision game scenario, a panel discussion, and a special dinner in the Notre Dame Stadium Press Box. Over 125 midshipmen from 32 schools were in attendance during the weekend of 24 February, making it one of the biggest Naval Leadership Weekends to date. The event kicked off on Thursday evening when midshipmen from across the country began arriving at the Sacred Heart Parish Center where they stayed for the weekend. After the Friday morning “Welcome Aboard” brief given by Captain Earl Carter, the Notre Dame NROTC Commanding Officer, the first symposium began with a presentation from the Honorable Mr. Sean J. Stackley, Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Stackley works with Research, Development, and Acquisition for the Navy and gave a very informative talk on some of the more technical aspects of how the Navy conducts research and acquires new technology.
