One very clear memory from my freshman year of college is of a Sunday afternoon that I spent in the library trying to learn the details about the oxidative-phosphorylation, one chemical pathway in mitochondria (i.e., the powerhouse of the cell). I spent hours sitting with my notebook, pen, and biology textbook trying to figure out how all the pieces fit together. My initial motivation was trying to understand enough to pass the test I had the next day. But puzzling through the processes involved in passing electrons … [Read more...] about Sinai and Synapses: Loving the Lord with all my mind and my neighbor as myself

Things were no different by the time I graduated and … [Read more...] about Healing through the ESN Steam Grant Project
Faith and Science Talks from our STEAM Project Conference Track
As part of ESN's 2016-2018 faith/science endeavors through a generous grant from the Fuller STEAM Project, we sponsored a student/early career track in collaboration with the American Scientific Affiliation at their 2017 conference.
