Rudy Nydegger, professor of psychology and of management and psychology at Union Graduate College, recently gave a paper, titled “The Challenges in Managing Virtual Teams,” at the International Business and Economic Research Conference in Las Vegas. His co-presenter was his daughter, Liesl Nydegger, a graduate student at Claremont Graduate University in California.
Scott Kirkton, assistant professor of biology, recently co-organized, with Jake Socha of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, a symposium titled, “Insights from Synchrotron X-Ray Imaging and Beyond: Mechanisms and Regulation of Flow Generation in Tracheal Systems,” for the 2nd International Congress of Respiratory Science (ICRS) in Bad Honnef, Germany. In addition, he co-authored the paper, “Synchrotron imaging of the grasshopper tracheal system: Morphological and physiological components of tracheal hypermetry” with Kendra Greenlee1 (North Dakota State University), Joanna Henry and Jon Harrison (Arizona State University), Mark Westneat (Field Museum of Natural History) and Kamel Fezzaa and Wah-Keat Lee (Argonne National Laboratories). Their research investigates how developmental life-history changes affect oxygen delivery and muscle performance.
