FROM THE DEANSharing the CBS experience with future generations

Welcome to the first issue of renew, an annual publication to celebrate the generosity of our donors and showcase students and initiatives that benefit from that generosity.

Despite the economy, contributions reached an all-time high this year, nearly $1.7 million. That tells me you appreciate how challenging it is for bright young people and their families to afford a college education today and for CBS to provide high-quality education given declining state support.

Many of you responded to our call for contributions to renovate facilities at Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories. For this, you have my heartfelt thanks. Itasca is a special place that exem-plifies the beauty and value of biology. We now have nearly all the private funds needed to break ground and hope to go back to the legislature this year to seek the balance.

Each and every gift to CBS, no matter what the amount, is important. Most of our donors are not wealthy, even those who endow scholarships. They are people with average means who want to share the CBS experience with future generations.

I’d like to thank all of you who made gifts during the past fiscal year and share a few stories about exceptional giving.

Darby Nelson, (Ph.D. Zoology, ’70; M.S. Botany, ’68) a former science teacher and legislator, and his wife, Geri (B.S. Botany, ‘68), contributed $300,000 to the Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories building fund, a gift that reflects their passion for Itasca and commitment to CBS.R&D Systems added $250,000 to the Monica Tsang and James Weatherbee Scholarship endowment. This brings the total in this fund, which you can read about on page 8, to $900,000. Marcia Birney made a $300,000 bequest for the Birney Gradu-ate Fellowship. Elmer Birney, who died in 2000, was a profes-sor of ecology, evolution and behavior for 30 years.And Jenna Racine, who graduated in May 2010 and is now in medical school, was so inspired by the generosity of CBS donors who helped her that she started her own fund last fall with a check for $75. On the following pages, you will find some examples of out-

standing students like Jenna. I hope you will enjoy learning about them and the good ways they are putting your investment in them to work.

Sincerely,

Bob Elde, DeanCollege of Biological Sciences

CBS curriculum gets an “A”

from national reviewers

The CBS undergraduate curriculum a got thumbs up from a national team of external reviewers after a site visit this spring. Their report stated that the Na-ture of Life program could provide a national model and that the research-based Foundations of Biology courses are the future of science educa-tion. The team included Bruce Alberts, editor of Science, former president of the National Academy of Sciences, and former chair of the National Re-

Ross Johnson, who joined the CBS faculty in 1968, when the college was only three years old, is retiring this year. Judd Sheridan, who arrived the same year, introduced Ross to gap junctions (connec-tions between cells that allow molecules to move between them), which became the focus of his re-search for his entire career.

Mike O’Connor discovers

metamorphosis trigger

Mike O’Connor, professor and head of the Depart-ment of Genetics, Cell Biol-ogy and Development, and colleagues have discov-ered how a brain hormone controls the metamor-phosis of juvenile insects into adults. The finding, published in Science, will help scientists understand how insect body size is programmed in response to developmental and environmental cues. It could lead to environmen-tally safe ways to control agricultural pests as well as insects that carry human pathogens. Since human puberty is also regulated by a brain hormone, under-standing how this process works in insects sheds light on human development.

undergrad wins national

scholarship

CBS undergraduate Xiao-ying Lou was one of only two U of M students to win a 2010 Goldwater Schol-arship, which provides $7,500 for her senior year. Lou, who is majoring in biochemistry, plans to pursue an M.D./Ph.D. and become a cardiothoracic surgeon and researcher. “The heart is a magnificent organ,” Lou says. “I find myself awed by its beauty and elegance.” She wants to attack heart disease at all levels, from surgery to treatment and, perhaps most importantly, prevention.

“I have a different perspective than many of my peers,” she says. “I know what living on $1 a day looks like. Sometimes I can’t believe where I am today. I have been given the opportunity of a lifetime, so I hope to accomplish great things in life.”

Damé is already doing great things.

Some of the male frogs croak all the way back to the St. Paul campus, she says. The length and time a male croaks and the robustness of his sound are signs

of reproductive fitness, which attracts females.

This summer, Betsy also conducted an independent research project to study which frequencies are most appealing to females, so she spent more time in the lab during the day than in the lakes at night. A University Research Opportunities Pro-gram (UROP) grant supported her effort.

“It’s a good lab because you can start early in college. The more you work, the more responsibility and trust you earn. I’ve made lots of friends there.”

“Betsy is a real delight to work with,” Bee says. “On top of being very bright and extremely friendly, she has an upbeat, get-it-done attitude that is infectious. The cheer she brings to the often difficult and mundane tasks of day-to-day scientific research really elevates the atmosphere of the entire lab.”

“That’s the inevitable question when I tell people what I do, but we just bring them to the lab for testing and then take them back home, usually the next day.”

This is her second summer working with Mark Bee, associate professor of ecology, evolution and behavior, who studies how and why female frogs select mates from a chorus of croaking males. His find-ings could lead to better hearing aids for humans.

Although she never imagined chas-ing frogs at night as part of her college education, a couple of years ago she saw a Driven to Discover TV commercial about Bee’s research and was intrigued. The next summer she joined a group of undergraduate assistants who donned hip

Betsy, who is putting herself through college, has written to the couple and hopes to thank them in person soon.

“I am so grateful. Scholarships mean the difference between working at a mini-mum wage job and working in a research lab, which is such an important part of a biology education.” Betsy also received a four-year U of M Presidential Scholarship.

In addition to maintaining a 3.84 GPA and working in a research lab, Betsy has volunteered at the Children’s Museum of Minnesota for the past three years and is vice president of the U of M Japa-nese Club.

Crazy for Critters

When Mitch Bellrichard returned to campus for his senior year this fall,

he brought his cat, an African clawed frog and a hedgehog with him. At one point he had four hedgehogs, but fortunately found homes for three of them.

“My girlfriend gave me a hedgehog for my birthday. It turned out to be pregnant and delivered a litter the next day.”

An animal lover from childhood, Mitch has known for a long time that he wants to be a veterinarian.

While most future vets major in animal science, Mitch wanted a stronger ground-ing in basic science because he’s con-sidering a research career. So he chose the College of Biological Sciences and a major in ecology, evolution and behavior. He’s been very happy with CBS because the sense of community “makes the U feel smaller” and because the new Founda-tions in Biology course, where students work as teams to solve biology problems, provided such a strong grounding for the

rest of his coursework.“Taking Foundations of Biology made

my advanced biology courses much easier,” he says.

Mitch applied for the Denneth “Denny” and Joan Dvergsten Itasca Summer Scholarship because he wanted to do field research with animals at Itasca. His 3.95 GPA and experience working at the

Oxbow Park Zoo, where he cared for a sick porcupine and packed a rattlesnake up for a trip to the hospital, made him an out-standing candidate.

Denny, who received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Minnesota, was a distinguished science teacher in the Roseville school district for many years. He was also president of the Minnesota Sci-ence Teachers Association and a Minnesota Teacher of the Year. From 1986 until his retirement in 1991, Denny served as direc-tor of outreach for the College of Biological Sciences. Joan received a degree in educa-tion from Mankato State University.

This summer at Itasca, Mitch studied ani-mal behavior and learned about radio-track-ing from Larry Kuechle, an adjunct faculty member who pioneered radio-tracking at Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve in the 1960s. Under Kuechle’s guidance he conducted research comparing the home ranges of female and male raccoons living in the park. In 1981, Kuechle and a core

“When I think of Mitch as a person and as a student, I see someone who is well rounded. He has the academic skills to succeed, clear goals for the future and the interpersonal skills to apply his talents in a work environment,” Kuechle says.

Now a senior, Mitch hopes to attend the U of M College of Veterinary Medicine next year. Comparative research involving ani-mal and human medicine is one direction he’s considering. He also enjoys caring for exotic zoo animals and companion animals.

“The sense of community within CBS makes the University of Minnesota feel smaller and the curriculum provides a strong foundation in basic science,” Mitch says. ”

Becca McDougle doesn’t have a problem starting at the bottom. She took a dishwashing job in the biochemistry

department just to find the right mentor for a medical research career.

From Dishwasher to Doctor

Reuben Harris, associate professor of bio-

chemistry and Becca’s advisor, studies mo-

lecular strategies to block HIV.

Becca McDougle knew finding a re-search mentor would be an important

first step in her career, so she took a job washing glassware for the Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Biophysics to get to know faculty in the department, where her major is based.

She was intrigued by the work of Pro-fessor Reuben Harris, one of the depart-ment’s most accomplished researchers. He studies how a group of human proteins (APOBEC) trigger beneficial mutations that help people resist HIV and other diseases. Harris welcomed her into his lab. The Richard C. Nelson Scholarship made it possible for her to spend the entire sum-mer studying regulation of the APOBEC proteins and their role in our innate im-mune response.

“Doing real research in a lab with a sci-entist like Dr. Harris is the most rewarding part of my education at the University,” Becca says. “But since I am working

my way through college, it’s hard to find enough time for research. That’s why this scholarship means so much to me.”

When Becca received the award at the annual department banquet, she was gratified that several former professors remembered and congratulated her. That may not be too surprising considering her GPA is 3.95.

“Becca is pretty much a model citizen,”

Harris says. “Very clever, and no matter what the job she rolls up her sleeves and gets it done. On top of that, she’s very nice.”

Nelson, who earned a B.S. at the Uni-versity of Minnesota in 1934 and a Ph.D. in biochemistry in 1937, was a biochem-istry professor at Northwestern and Ohio State universities and had a long relation-ship with 3M. His daughter, Sara Nelson Cooke, and son, Daniel Nelson, created the scholarship to honor his memory and support high-achieving biochemistry students.

Becca also received a four-year U of M Presidential Scholarship and the CBS Harold Paul Morris Scholarship for her first two years. Morris, who earned a B.S. in 1925 and a Ph.D. in 1930, had a distin-guished career with the USDA, the FDA and the National Cancer Institute. His son, Emory Morris, established the scholarship to honor his father.

Becca received a scholarship honoring

As a senior this year, she will continue in Harris’s lab. And in the fall, she will begin applying for M.D./Ph.D programs. While she enjoys research, she also wants to be a physician and interact with patients, possibly in the pediatrics unit of a research hospital. This will require three years of graduate school and four years of medical school, plus residencies.

“I know those extra years will be difficult, but they will enable me to do both the things I’m passionate about, research and patient care.”

In spite of her busy schedule, Becca makes time for community service. She volunteers on the pediatric floor at Fairview University Medical Center. And she’s active in Biology Without Borders (a CBS student group that makes trips to developing countries) as well as Compas-sionate Action for Animals, which focuses on humane treatment of farm animals. She also finds time for painting, her hobby.

Using a scooter to zip around campus is part of Jordan Wong’s time-management strategy, which allows him to maintain a 3.87 GPA while playing in the U’s marching band and volunteering.

Have Scooter, Will Travel

Jordan Wong got hooked on science while playing video games when he

was a kid. One game, “Bioshock,” was about a super hero stranded in an under-water city who altered his own genome in order to shoot various powers, such as electricity, from his hand. These pow-ers helped him defeat his enemies and escape the city…

“Bioshock” made Jordan curious about altering cells and molecules to create new powers.

Last year, he had a research experi-ence in the laboratory of Daniel Bond, a faculty member in the BioTechnology Institute, which sounds equally fantastic. Bond makes fuel cells using bacteria to transform organic sludge into electricity. Jordan conducted an independent project in Bond’s lab experimenting with arabi-nose, a sugar, to increase the capacity of bacteria to generate renewable energy.

It might make a good video game. But who would believe it?

“We’re here to learn. You only get one shot at college,” Jordan says.

Jordan received the Leon Snyder Scholarship.

Snyder was a highly respected CBS geneticist.

“Like so many of our students, Jordan is bright and motivated,” says Genetics Professor Mike Simmons, who nominated Jordan for the Leon Snyder scholarship. “He never misses a class, thanks to a dependable push scooter. He clearly ap-preciates that a university education is a gift that can make each of us better than we are.”

Jordan is a kind of student superhero. With a 3.87 GPA, he finds time for the U of M marching band (he plays the snare

drum) and volunteering as well as labora-tory research. Marching band alone is a minimum 11-hour-per-week commitment, in addition to his practice time. When there’s an afternoon game on Saturday, the drumline reports at 5 a.m. to rehearse. Jordan has tutored Somali students all through college. And he spent most of this summer in Ghana as a Global Health volunteer and in Taiwan as a volunteer English teacher. (He speaks and writes Chinese.)

“I think about time management a lot. My Dad always told me, ‘There are only 24 hours in a day. You spend half of them sleeping and eating. So you want to make the rest of them count.’”

One of his time-management strategies is using a scooter to get around campus. It’s faster than walking and, unlike a bike, he can fold it up and bring it into his class-room or lab.

Scholarships play a vital role in allowing Jordan to do so much. He was awarded the Leon Snyder Scholarship for the 2010-2011 academic year. The award will go toward his tuition.

Genetics Professor Leon Snyder, who

did his undergraduate and graduate stud-ies at UC Berkeley, joined the Univer-sity of Minnesota faculty in the 1950s. His research addressed basic genetic mechanisms, especially mutation, in plants and fruit flies. He taught rigorous genet-ics courses and co-authored a genetics textbook. Snyder was a founding member of the College of Biological Sciences. This

Jordan did research in the laboratory of Daniel

Bond, who uses bacteria to convert organic

waste into electricity.

STUDENT PROFILE

scholarship was created when he died in 1989 to support outstanding students with an interest in genetics.

Jordan received the Biological Sci-ences Alumni Society award in 2009, and also has won several scholarships from the University of Minnesota and external organizations.

Like lots of top CBS students, Jordan makes sacrifices to meet his goals. He doesn’t have much time for partying, but he has a close circle of friends who share his values.

“We’re here to learn. You only get one shot at college,” he says.

A senior this year, he hopes to attend the U of M School of Dentistry next year. If he is successful, he plans to donate a por-tion of his time to provide dental services for underserved communities in Minne-sota and in developing countries such as Ghana.

Over the years you, our alumni, donors and

friends, have risen to the occasion when the College of Biological Sciences really needed your help.

The most recent example is Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories. We asked you to help us raise $1.7 million to pay the college’s share of the $5 million needed to renovate and update the campus.

(The rest will come from state bonds.) You responded with $1.2 million in commitments. I can’t thank you enough for your generosity.

Now, we need your help again. The undergraduate program at the College of Biological Sciences just keeps getting better and better. Over the past several years, we have added many new programs to improve academics and the student experience.

This spring we got thumbs up from an external curriculum re-view team that included the editor of Science and past president of the National Academy of Sciences. Shortly after, we received a $1.5 million grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute

How to make a gift:

Contact Laurie Hennen at 612-624-9460 or [email protected] to discuss a gift.

Make out a check and send it to the University of Minnesota Foundation, 200 Oak Street SE, Suite 500, Minneapolis, MN 55155-2010.

Make a donation online by going to www.giving.umn.edu and clicking on Giving Opportunities.

If you send a check to the Foun-dation or make a gift online, be sure to note that your gift is for College of Biological Sciences scholarships. You may specify the scholarship if you like.

MAKE A MEANINGFUL GIFTCreate your own legacy or honor someone else with an endowed scholarship

to provide hands-on research experience to every student who takes a biology class at the University of Minnesota.

And we continue to get more selective. This fall we had 6,400 applicants for 400 places in the freshman class. The average freshman graduated at the 94th percentile of his or her class and earned a score of 30 on the ACT. But many of these bright, motivated, talented students can’t afford college. The amount of scholarship money we have to offer hasn’t kept pace with the growing demand and isn’t competitive with many other schools and colleges, both public and private.

I know many of you have contributed generously to schol-arships, and I thank you. But I would like others to consider endowing an undergraduate scholarship. The minimum amount is $25,000. I know that sounds like a lot of money, but it’s much easier than you think. We can structure it so you make payments over several years. It’s a meaningful way to create a legacy for you, a loved one or a favorite professor. Alumni in a variety of financial circumstances have done this.

If that’s not within your reach, I encourage you to contribute to an existing endowed scholarship. To read descriptions, go to www.cbs.umn.edu/studentservices/ then click on Scholarships and Aid. Or you can contribute to an annual fund.

Please know that whatever you can do, your gift will make a difference. I want to work with you to help you make a gift that is meaningful for you. I’m here to help you.

Thomson Soule wanted to keep his wife Janet Boe’s (M.S. Botany, ’81) passion for the natural world alive after she died of cancer at 55. So he created a scholarship to support students engaged in field biology research at Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories. Following are his own words about Boe and her feeling for Itasca, edited from a longer letter to CBS.

Janet often inspired me and still does in many ways. I had to do something to find ways to deal with her death, to somehow make it right. I realized how important it was for me to honor Ja-net for who she was and what was important to her … to keep her “alive” and present in my life … Setting up this endowment is a good start, but I want to do more.

Janet was committed to raising awareness of the natural world and its relevance and importance to our everyday lives. She was at her best teaching others [about nature]. She was good at it because the connections she made were tied to her intellect, spirit, kindness, grace and the will in her heart.

The Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories, and the sur-rounding Itasca State Park, were more than special to Janet and me. You could say our life together began there. We both took classes at the station, but there is much more to the story. Our decision to be married in that special place was not happenstance.

A LIVING MEMORYItasca connection leads to endowment for student field research

As a teenager, with her family and often by herself, Janet made many visits to Itasca State Park, cross-country skiing, hiking, bird watching, dining at Douglas Lodge, visiting the headwaters and, of course, exploring the natural history of the area. Her visits home from nursing school and college included visits to Itasca to get reacquainted with the plants, flowers and birds, and to renew her spirit. I can see her, lost in concentration, keying out a sedge or an orchid, or gliding through tall red pines on her skis.

I have no doubt that her adventures in the park—its natural wonders, solitude and beauty—awakened and nurtured her curiosity and love of the natural world, and led to her decision to become not just a botanist and a zoologist/ecologist but a con-summate naturalist. I am equally sure that from the time she first visited Itasca she made plans to return one day to study at the biological station; a plan she would complete while in graduate school at the University of Minnesota, returning twice as its nurse and once as a student.

We returned to Itasca many times in all seasons for work, wedding anniversaries, visits to the headwaters, snowshoe treks, spring wildflower searches and events, or just to walk and soak up the smells, sounds and silence, reconnecting with this special place and each other.
