I thought this lecture was a great way to kick start our guest speakers. You could tell right away Dr. Weisenberger knew her stuff. She spoke very eloquently and didn’t really look at her notes even though she was telling a lot of stories of these notable Ohio State Alum with great detail. I found her story about the founders and first group of faculty very interesting. She was very descriptive in her story-telling so I could imagine them all in one building trying to make it work. I also thought it was really cool that researchers at OSU were involved in creating the drumstick because that is one of my favorite frozen treats.
I agree that i thought this was a great way to kick off the speaker portion of the class…there is really no better way to achieve the learning outcome of comparing scientific discovery at home and abroad by seeing exactly what has happened at OSU>
