Messiah University to Host the 99th Annual Meeting of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science

Messiah University will host the 99th Annual Meeting of the Pennsylvania Academy of Science (PAS) over the weekend of April 12 – 14 (2024). Approximately 250 students and faculty from educational institutions across Pennsylvania will visit campus to share about research conducted in a variety of areas of life and physical sciences in oral and poster presentations.

Dr. David B. Olsen (’83) will deliver a keynote address following the Saturday evening banquet describing the work of Merck and collaborating scientists to identify & characterize drugs that can be used to combat malaria.  Dr. Olsen will also share career insights in a Saturday lunchtime panel aimed at students considering science careers in industry.  We encourage Messiah students (and faculty) to register to attend and present at the conference.  Non-presenting Messiah students and faculty may attend oral and poster presentations free of charge, but must also register in advance.  Visit the PAS website (https://pennsci.org) for more information about the meeting (registration, cost, schedule) and the PAS organization.  Larry Mylin (Biological Sciences) is serving as the local organizing host.  Contact him with questions about the meeting, and if you are available to volunteer to support by participating the variety of things that must happen to host such a meeting.
