OML Participates in SciREN
The OML participated in SciREN, which aims to connect local STEM researchers and educators to foster the dissemination of current research and ultimately enhance the science literacy of today’s youth. Nicholas wrote an amazing lesson plan focusing on the structure and function of bone, including studying material properties, Wolff’s Law, and comparative bone anatomy of various animals.
If you’re interested in checking out the lesson, you can find it here: Structure and Function of Bone Activity. Any feedback would be very much appreciated, please email Stephanie or Nicholas.
Here are some photos of us in action!

OML Presents to IMHOTEP
Several labs in the BME Department, including OML, gave lab tours to middle school students participating in the IMHOTEP program at NC State.
Updates: 2014
2014 was a big year for the OML! The year began with Jacque having her son, Theo, in January. Other notable events include Nicholas Hanne and Carolyn Stolfi joining the lab as graduate research assistants, Curtis Hudson, Austin Murray and Amir Robe joining as undergraduate research assistants, and Dr. Andy Steward joining as a postodoctoral research scholar.
Congratulations to Austin Murray, who was selected as an Abrams Scholar in the BME Department!
Congratulations also to Jacque, who was selected to participate in the ORS/OREF/AAOS New Investigator Workshop for Clinical, Translational, and Basic Science Research in Chicago, IL (16-17 May). In addition, Jacque became Co-Investigator on a grant from the NCSU Research Innovation Seed Funding (RISF) Program
