Association for the Advancement of Science have awarded a three-year
grant of up to $60,000 to Dr. David Schedler, Birmingham-Southern
College associate professor of chemistry, to fund student research
and related activities in the college's biology and chemistry
departments.
The award is from the 2003 Merck/AAAS

through undergraduate research experiences that foster an understanding
of the interrelatedness of the two sciences. The award provides for opportunities
that encourage and reinforce collaboration among faculty mentors.
Joining the BSC faculty in 1994, Schedler
received his bachelor's degree
from Rhodes College, his doctoral degree from the University of Alabama,
and did post-doctoral research at Cornell University.
