Nanoscale magnets offer a new way to find faint, early traces of cancer in patients, according to CAAM students working on a method to capitalize on the magnets’ properties.
For the last three years, the summer Tapia camps have given underrepresented students a front-row seat in learning what it means to have a career in math or science. All of these students have a demonstrated interest in those subjects, but many of them don’t have the exposure to professionals or academics, outside their classroom teachers, who can show them what they can do with these STEM skills.
Rice University computational mathematician Richard Tapia has won the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s 2016 AAAS Public Engagement with Science Award. The honor specifically recognizes Tapia’s “remarkable career blending world-class scholarship, admirable mentoring and profound contributions to science, technology, engineering and mathematics education and public engagement.”
