Most people think that professors have it easy during the summer months. Not Citadel biology professor Alix Darden, who is continuing her molecular research. With grants funded by The Citadel Foundation, the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, she and her students are conducting experiments that may be useful in understanding retinal degeneration diseases such as macular degeneration. In this picture, Darden and Cadet Matt Verdin program a thermalcycler as they prepare to amplify DNA by polymerase chain reaction.

The making of a quad
Posted: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 11:00 pm EDT
With the grid drawn and many gallons of paint on the sidelines, Providence Paint crews have started painting the signature red and white checkerboard quad inside Padgett-Thomas Barracks.

Work started this week inside Padgett-Thomas Barracks to paint the red and white checkerboard quad that is a signature feature in each of the five barracks on campus. While it may look easy, it takes a good eye to keep track of the pattern as 275 gallons of paint goes down. PT is on schedule to open in August.
