Training the Next Generation of Scientists to Impact the World Letter from the Dean The magazine of the College of Science at the University of Notre Dame Winter 2013 IMPACT Training the next generation of scientists to impact the world Letter from the Dean more than 1,000 celebrate transit of venus at notre dame The Notre Dame and South Bend communities came together on June 5 at the Jordan Hall of Science to witness the Transit of Venus, a rare astronomical event in which the Earth, Venus, and the Sun align. More than 1,000 visitors gathered to watch Venus transit the Sun for the last time this century. UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME FOUNDER, FATHER EDWARD SORIN, C.S.C., had a vision of the University becoming a powerful means for doing good in the country. Today, Notre Dame is fulfilling this bold vision, as well as expanding upon it by becoming a powerful means for doing good not only here at home, but around the world as well. This edition of Notre Dame Science highlights a unity of purpose in the research being conducted by faculty and students in the College of Science and in the community as a whole, as well as in cross-collaboration with both our campus counterparts in other colleges and with our off-campus colleagues at the Harper Cancer Research Institute. This unity of purpose broadens the scope of the University’s research initiatives while, at the same time, focuses each of our individual efforts on serving the common good Contents through purposeful research that, ultimately, leads to solving real-world problems. gregory p. crawford In 2010, Notre Dame created the Department of Applied and Com- William K.

    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.
