Tyrell Styhl, a sophomore natural resources major at the College of Western Idaho (CWI), claimed Best Paper Presentation for an Undergraduate Student at the 57th Annual Meeting & Symposium of the Idaho Academy of Science and Engineering last month in Boise. He won for his paper titled ...
On March 20, several CWI faculty and students will present on various topics at the 57th Annual Meeting and Symposium of the Idaho Academy of Science and Engineering. Life Sciences Department Chair, Nicole Frank, will be joined by Assistant Professors Steven Lysne and Brian McClain during the...
The link below has several modules and courses aimed at teaching earth sciences at the university/college level. Topics range from climate change to mineral resources to natural hazards! I worked with a team to develop the "Map Your Hazards! – Assessing Hazards,...
As a member of the CWI mathematics department it likely comes as no surprise that I majored in math in college and graduate school. When I meet new people the assumption that they make upon learning what I do for a living is probably not unlike the reaction that dentists get. In...
Students from CWI’s Biology 2 class traveled to the Orma J. Smith Museum of Natural History in Caldwell this week to explore the biodiversity and evolution of organisms.

A few months ago a new movie came out about a woman, who on exposure to some blue drugs, was able to start using more than the 10% of her brain that the rest of us are stuck with.
Wait, what?
Since when did people start using only 10% of their brains? This is just one of...
The College of Western Idaho’s Center for Invertebrate Science is pleased to welcome two new faculty affiliates. Assistant Professors Hollie Leavitt and Dusty Perkins both joined the Center in 2014 and are already contributing to our students’ success through new projects.

How Do I Keep From Getting Ebola?
It seems like all I hear about is the Ebola outbreak in the West Africa. Thousands are infected and dying. In Dallas, Texas, of all places, a man from Liberia has died of Ebola and two nurses...
When I'm not teaching math at CWI, I am working on violins. I repair and make violins.
Given my educational background (physics & math), I have an interest in the conceptual design of the violin. As far as we know, the violin was invented in northern Italy in the 1500s.

The Idaho Freshwater Mollusk Project is an effort to research and understand the biology, distribution, and diversity of Idaho’s freshwater mollusks. There are approximately 120 species of freshwater mollusks in the state, 18 are non-native and possibly invasive. We accomplish Project...
As the Department Chairs have considered the changes to General Education within our institution, we’ve had some wonderful discussions about which courses we want to include within the General Education Core and which don’t really belong. The Idaho State Board of Education has...
There are many idealized versions of what scientific research looks like. It usually involves clean cut methods that work on the first try, and provide unquestionable data. This romanticized version of laboratory work is rarely realized. I am a fourth year Ph.D. student at Idaho State...
The main objective of cryptography, a field of study for both mathematicians and computer scientists, is to provide a way for two people (often characterized as Alice and Bob) to be able to send a message over an insecure channel in such a way that an opponent (often called Oscar) cannot...
A group from CWI took a non-traditional approach to spring break this year, mapping and recording petroglyphs at Celebration Park.
