2024 Margaret Morse Nice Medal Recipient: Ron Mumme

Dr. Ron Mumme, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biology at Allegheny College, is this year’s Margaret Morse Nice Medal recipient from the Wilson Ornithological Society.

Dr. Mumme’s major research interests are animal behavior and avian behavioral ecology, and since 2010, his research has focused on the the relationship between plumage pattern and foraging performance in the Hooded Warbler, a species that uses displays of its conspicuous white tail spots to startle potential insect prey and enhance foraging success.

Professor James Lombardi Featured In Go Erie | Diamond rings, disco balls and Erie’s total eclipse event – an astrophysicist explains

Astrophysicist Jamie Lombardi, PhD, shares key points to ensure full appreciation of the extremely rare event of the solar eclipse. Although solar eclipses are fairly common, total solar eclipses in any given region are rare. In Erie and Crawford counties, the last total eclipse occurred in 1806, and after this month, the next one won’t be until 2144. What makes a total eclipse special is that it’s dark as night during the day, while the moon completely obscures the sun.
