Who committed the murder? This was the problem to solve in the special biology lab conducted by Morgan University Biology Professor Dr. Yuejin Li. This special 2 hour lab began with a presentation on genetics and blood typing before getting into the crime solving. The students learned how to test for blood type and Rh factor on materials from the "crime scene." They emerged with strong circumstantial evidence that it was the electrician. Professor Li talked about her life and educational journey. She was born in China and studied both there and in the United States. She has been at Morgan University since 2017 where she both teaches and is a research scientist into the cardiovascular system. Dr. Li generously shared her time and knowledge with us. Her thorough, clear and accessible teaching style was greatly appreciated by all of the students. Last month, we reached out to the Morgan University Science Department in hopes of building a relationship that would bring science labs into TCS. Professor Li quickly and eagerly replied and has pledged to continue to help us build these ties. We are very thankful for her and look forward to the future. ...
We were honored to have Marc Steiner join us yesterday to share his knowledge and perspective on the conflict in Israel and Palestine. Marc's knowledge is both personal and profound. He has family members from Poland who perished in the Holocaust and others that were living in the kibbutz attacked on October 7th. He also has friends in Palestine and has been a life long human and civil rights organizer. Marc is a prominent radio and media figure in Baltimore that has given him the opportunity to interview and have dialogue with people on the many sides of this issue. A key characteristic of TCS students is their interest in and knowledge of what is going on in the community and the world. They have been following this issue since long before this current crisis and were keenly interested in learning more, especially personal stories. Marc was a great source and answered all of their questions and engaged in a meaningful conversation and discussion with the students. We are grateful for Marc Steiner's many years of demonstrated commitment to justice and improving the lives of people and his generous sharing of time with us once again. ...
