Hannah Connolly, a Southern Illinois University Carbondale student from Carbondale, has been elected by her peers to serve on the SIU System’s Board of Trustees. Her one-year term starts today, July 1.
In late April, I led a research group from Southern Illinois University Carbondale to Australia to witness and study a hybrid total/annular solar eclipse there on April 20. These observations we made allowed us to gain valuable information on our procedures that will give us a better jumping-off point for the work here in Carbondale, now funded by NASA and the National Science Foundation.
