There’s more than one way to save endangered species, and new advancements in biotechnology are opening conservation doors that scientists would have once thought impossible. Kristin Brzeski (CFRES) is exploring avenues to restore the red wolf population in the American South. Her research with a unique population of “ghost wolves” along the Gulf Coast has attracted partners across the full spectrum of the scientific community — from citizen scientists to de-extinction biotech company Colossal Biosciences.

Brzeski and research partner Bridgett vonHoldt, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Princeton University, are informally known as Team Ghost Wolf. Together, they gather data using non-invasive research methods such as wildlife cameras, collars and widespread surveys to get a more complete picture of the animals’ behavior in the wild.

“Using crowdsourced, non-invasive sampling tools paired with captive animal studies, we’re looking at how ancestry and landscapes are impacting the retention of distinct genetic variation these animals have,” said Brzeski.

The goal? The conservation of one of America’s most iconic species — and the biodiverse ecosystems it relies on.

The Graduate School congratulates two Michigan Technological University graduate students who have been awarded NASA Michigan Space Grant Consortium (MSGC) Fellowships.

Eleanor Zimmermann was selected for her hard work, creative thinking and analysis skills, as well as diligence and attention to detail in successfully publishing two journal papers about NASA research projects this year. The first, published in Advances in Space Research, was about lunar ice detection using a heated cone penetrometer. The second, published in the ASCE Journal of Aerospace Engineering, was about using a melt probe as a drill for Mars water extraction from buried glaciers. Additionally, Zimmermann wrote and successfully submitted two NASA proposals.

Christi LeCaptain was selected for her leadership on a Michigan Tech NASA STTR phase 2 project in collaboration with Lunar Outpost. This required leading a team of up to 10 students in building three separate large-scale hardware test setups for testing with regolith in and outside the Dusty Thermal Vacuum Chamber in Michigan Tech's Planetary Surface Technology Development Lab (PSTDL). She showed leadership in coordination and delegation, as well as doing her own technical work programming the software portion and the manufacturing and testing of the initial setups.

Both Zimmermann and LeCaptain work with Paul van Susante, PSTDL director and professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.

M. Bartley Seigel, associate professor of creative writing and literature and director of the Michigan Tech Writing Center, will be a featured presenter at the 2025 Harbor Springs Festival of the Book on Sept. 26-28.

The Festival of the Book is one of Michigan’s premier literary events, drawing nationally recognized writers and thousands of readers each fall. Over the course of the weekend, Seigel, a poet whose work often engages the landscapes and cultures of the Upper Peninsula, will share the stage with award-winning national authors at three separate events:

• Wilderness & Transformation Panel with Allegra Goodman and Eowyn Ivey, exploring how untamed landscapes shape resilience and change.

• Poetry Readings with Eileen Myles, highlighting verse rooted in both desolate wilderness and bustling cities.

• Nature as Spirituality Panel with Jeff Chu and Lili Taylor, reflecting on nature as a source of wisdom, healing and sacred connection.

“It’s an exciting opportunity to bring voices of the Upper Peninsula into conversation with the broader literary world,” Seigel said. “I’m honored to represent Michigan Tech and the U.P.”

Seigel’s inclusion in the festival highlights Michigan Tech’s contributions to the state’s cultural and creative life and underscores the Department of Humanities’ commitment to fostering scholarship, creativity and public engagement.

For more information and a full schedule of events, visit the festival website.

Michigan Tech's Enterprise Program is excited to introduce our newest Enterprise team, Ink & Ore, a student-led publishing team offering hands-on experience in writing, editing, design and project management.

Advised by Holly Hassel, professor of composition and director of Tech's Composition Program, and M. Bartley Seigel, associate professor of humanities and director of the Michigan Tech Writing Center, Ink & Ore gives students across all majors the chance to shape campus publications, develop creative and professional skills, and make a meaningful impact on campus culture.

The Department of Chemistry is hosting a virtual seminar presented by Manfred Philipp, City University of New York. The seminar will be held on Friday, Sept. 19, from 3-4 p.m. on Zoom.

Join the Chemistry Seminar on Zoom (use password 224203).

From the abstract:

Alkyl and Arylboronic acids were found to be serine hydrolase inhibitors in the late 1960’s. Peptide boronic acids were found to be serine hydrolase inhibitors in the early 1990’s. Since then, aryl, alkyl, and peptide boronic acids have found FDA-approved use as anticancer agents and antibacterials. This talk will describe their development and prospects for the future.

Undergraduate and graduate degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry are important in teaching and research. This talk will describe how such degrees can also be useful in careers that focus on international affairs and international exchange. Research scientists of all disciplines can participate in the Fulbright program. They can also participate in other exchange programs, such as Boren, Gilman, DAAD, and Humphrey. These programs and the respective alumni associations create person-to-person connections that are important in the development of a scientific career, as well as the development of careers in other fields.

Philipp is a professor emeritus at the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center in Manhattan and at Lehman College in the Bronx, and is currently the co-ombuds at the CUNY Graduate Center. He has studied and conducted research at Johns Hopkins University, Northwestern University, the Weizmann Institute, and the University of Freiburg. He graduated with a BS in Chemistry from Michigan Technological University in 1966.

Philipp has been president of the Fulbright Association, which advocates for the Fulbright program in Congress and gives awards to heads of state. He has twice been president of the DAAD Alumni Association - USA and is currently the managing director of the Belle Zeller Scholarship Trust Fund. Both organizations collect donations to fund scholarships. The latter honors leading New York state political figures with Friend of CUNY awards.

As CEO of AI Bio Discoveries, a biotech startup, Philipp works on new antibacterial agents. He has held visiting professorships at universities in Germany, Portugal and Nepal, with research talks in 18 countries. He was co-author on four protein structure files, 10 awarded and pending patents, and 48 peer-reviewed publications which have been cited over a thousand times. He has been mentioned over 80 times in the public media, including in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Russian TV, Le Figaro, the Times of Israel, and Germany’s Die Welt. He mentors high school students in the Regeneron Science Talent Search and was given an award for that activity by the Bronx High School of Science.
