BDN quotes bioengineering major in article on full moon event
Elizabeth Jandreau, a University of Maine bioengineering major from Madawaska, was quoted in a Bangor Daily News article about the Challenger Learning Center of Maine’s Full Moon Glow Walk at Bangor Waterfront. The event allowed local community members the opportunity to participate in a variety of moon and light related activities while watching the moon rise over the Penobscot River through several telescopes, according to the article. Jandreau was among the college students who volunteered to help. At her booth, she demonstrated how light refraction works by having people look at a lighted, colored gyroscope spinning through special glasses, the article states. “I really like the properties of light — it was my favorite thing while studying physics — so getting to tell people the science side of this is really fun for me. I love it,” said Jandreau, a member of UMaine’s chapter of Society of Women Engineers.
