Westminster Psychology Professor Published
Dr. Alan Gittis, professor and chair of psychology at Westminster College, published an invited editorial in the Journal of Undergraduate Neuroscience Education.
The editorial, "Developing Graduate-Undergraduate Neuroscience Connections," discusses the idea of providing a two-year residency at liberal arts schools for new Ph.D.'s in neuroscience.
"We have an ample supply of undergraduate sites that can provide exemplary training experiences, a substantial cohort of talented neuroscience trainees who would be interested in these experiences, and members of the graduate training faculty who recognized the need for such a program." wrote Gittis. "There are a multitude of interested neuroscientists out there and they are begging for ways to find connections between neuroscience graduate professional training and neuroscience undergraduate education."
Gittis, who has been with Westminster College since 1976, earned his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University and serves on the executive board and is a former president of the Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience.

Faculty Forum on the Integration of Biology & Art April 19
Dr. John Robertson, assistant professor of biology at Westminster College, will present "Objectivity as Subject: Biology and Art (Vandelay)" at Faculty Forum Wednesday, April 19, at 11:45 a.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater located in the McKelvey Campus Center.
"I'll be discussing the intersection of art and biology by looking at some contemporary works that integrate life sciences as medium and subject," Robertson said. "I am interested in the relationship of these expressions to the content of some courses I instruct and to the place this work has in public education about biology and as provocative social statements."
Robertson, who has been with Westminster College since 2000, earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts, master's from the University of Rhode Island, and Ph.D. from Arizona State University.
Faculty Forum, established in 1990, serves as a venue for the exchange of ideas and information among Westminster College faculty. Speakers present their research, teaching ideas, lectures, performances, special programs, and uses of technology to keep faculty informed about the work of colleagues from many disciplines.
