Michael Naughton, along with another group of physicists and chemists at BC, is using a $1 million grant to create a miniscule microscope created from nanotubes and nanofibers that can take pictures of the smallest parts of human DNA.
The best part: You're likely to have some of these professors as instructors, since many of them teach undergraduate classes.
The University Strategic Plan seeks to bolster research efforts at BC but, unlike many other universities, the plan calls for a strict balance between research and instruction. While students at other universities might not have a professor teaching a class they are enrolled in until they reach graduate school, BC realizes that putting renowned professors and researchers in undergraduate classrooms is imperative.
We feel that this is what makes a liberal arts education at BC special - world class faculty who both teach at the undergraduate level and conduct renowned research. This distinction - which is growing scarce in academia - should be protected and promoted by the University to attract undergraduate students who are considering other prestigious school.
