Email: phmaxwel@mailbox.syr.edu
Occupation: Graduate Student
Biography: The summer after I left Cortland I began work on my Ph.D. in Biology at Syracuse University. My field is molecular biology and my dissertation involves further characterizing a retrotransposon (a type of mobile DNA element) that is found at telomeres in Drosophila melanogaster. The retrotransposon (along with a second retrotransposon) maintains the telomeres in Drosophila by adding new copies of itself to the telomeric DNA (Drosophila has no telomerase gene that has ever been identified).  Besides working on my dissertation, I also got married and now have two children (a son and a daughter). Needless to say, I don't do much else.

Name: Brian McKeon

Entry Dates: 3/12/02, 11/30/06
Email: bmckeon@pct.edu
Address:  Penn College, One College Ave, Williamsport, PA 17701
Occupation: Assistant Professor of Biology
Biography: Having finished my B.S. in Biology with a Chemistry minor at Cortland, I pursued a M.S. Degree in Molecular Biology in Dr. John Doctor's lab at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. I then spent a year doing HIV research at the University of Pittsburgh in Dr. Ron Montelaro's Lab, which resulted in two publications. When I realized that research was not my “first love,” I left Pittsburgh to teach Biology at Penn State in Erie, PA. During my two years at PSU I worked both as a lecturer and lab coordinator for the Biology Department. I was also fortunate to write and publish three 1st edition lab manuals and two 2nd edition manuals. However, the research requirement of my job was still more than I cared to perform. I had finally found my true passion – teaching. Therefore, I left Penn State at the end of my contract and have accepted a position at Broome Community College where I am teaching Human Biology, Microbiology, and a non-majors course in Biological Weapons. I have also proposed the creation of a new A.A./A.S. degree in Biotechnology, which has been well received so far. Finally, I am currently attending Binghamton University in my free time as I work on my Ph.D. in Philosophy and Medical Ethics. Overall, I am very grateful for the support I received from the Biology Department at Cortland, especially from my advisor, Dr. John Straneva.
  2006 Entry: Being from an ordinarily small town on a mostly harmless planet, I decided to see the world. So, I journeyed to my backyard with a field microscope. After years of research, I eventually attended a university where they gave me a master’s degree for studying small things. Now I spend my time traveling to new places with my microscope in a different university's backyard. I am particularly interested in biofilms. However, my intense scrutiny of these microbes has increasingly led me to feel that I may be invading their privacy. This concern led me to another university, where I earned my doctorate in medical ethics and philosophy of mind. Thus empowered, I am convinced that I can adequately defend the ethicality of my research against even the staunchest of microbial-rights proponents.  If you would like to learn more, you can visit me at: http://home.pct.edu/~bmckeon/.
