When he started his work in 2007, Peppe said he teamed up with then-assistant professor of anthropology, Dr. Kieran McNulty, to collaborate with one another on this project.

“We had 27 competitors this year, which was a nice increase from last year,” Tinker said. “The last years after COVID-19 have been a little difficult. That’s been a common element in a lot of student organizations that I’ve been a part of.”

Science and the media don’t always see eye to eye.
I’m lucky enough to understand both sides of the whole media versus research battle. Scientists don’t always like journalists because they assert that journalists never get it right. Journalists are frustrated with scientists because they can’t seem to explain their research in an understandable way half the time, and the other half of the time, the scientists won’t talk to journalists. Maybe this is just a student journalist problem.

I am a firm believer that education happens just as much outside of the classroom as it happens within a classroom.
In college, the average student spends probably three to four hours in class a day. That leaves 20 hours a day where we’re left to our own devices.
Of course we have to eat, sleep and study, but those 20 or so hours also include the amount of time we spend on extracurriculars.
In the 10 years since the university adopted an ambitious new vision outlined in the “Baylor 2012” initiative, the university’s new capital investments in research and residential facilities have coincided with consistent annual increases in the cost of a Baylor education.
