MILENE MORFEI attended the third annual conference of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology in Savannah, Georgia, Jan. 31 - Feb. 3.

In December the Wells Concert Choir and Chamber Singers, conducted by CRAWFORD THOBURN and accompanied by pianist Nancy Gilbertson, presented their annual holiday concert to a large and enthusiastic audience in Barler Hall.  A sizeable amount of canned and packaged food donated by the audience was collected and delivered to the Cayuga County Food Pantry for distribution to needy individuals and families in the community.  During the holiday season recordings of two of his choral works, “Whence is that Lovely Fragrance Flowing” and “A Lovely Rose is All My Song,” performed by the chamber chorus “Madrigalia under the direction of Roger Wilhelm, were featured on broadcasts from WXXI FM in Rochester, New York.  Professor Thoburn’s published choral work was featured in a workshop sponsored by the Taiwan Theological Seminary located in Taipei on February 4, 2002.

CHRISTINA WAHL attended the annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in Washington, D.C. in December.  In addition to several days of great science, she attended the keynote addresses.  Among the speakers were Christopher Reeves, who spoke in advocacy of educating Congress about science in general and about stem cell research in particular.  Also speaking was Craig Ventner, the CEO of Celera and the man who made all the headlines by coming up with a technique that sequenced the human genome in a fraction of the time the "traditional" science community expected it would take.  He spoke about the amazing potential for science in the years ahead that will develop as bioinformatics becomes refined and more accessible to scientists and others. Professor Wahl published a paper with her colleagues, R. A. Cushman and J.E. Fortune, entitled "Bovine Ovarian Cortical Pieces Grafted to Chick Embryonic Membranes:  A Model for Studies on the Activation of Primordial Follicles.” It was published by the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in their journal, Human Reproduction volume 17, no. 1 pp. 48-54, 2002.
