The Yale Council on Archaeological Studies and the Henry Whitfield State Museum are cosponsoring a free public program on Sunday, April 28. Students from Yale's Department of Archaeology will use slides and artifacts to discuss their findings from fall 2001 excavations at the Henry Whitfield House in Guilford. The presentation will take place at 2 p.m. in the Nathanael B. Greene Community Center, 32 Church St. (Route 77), in Guilford.

Alanna Schepartz, the Milton Harris '29 Ph.D. Professor of Chemistry and professor of molecular, cellular and developmental biology, received the Iota Sigma Pi Agnes Fay Morgan Research Award for 2002. The annual award is given to a woman chemist or biochemist, not over 40 years of age at the time of the nomination, for research achievement in chemistry or biochemistry. Schepartz's research covers a wide range of topics at the interface of chemistry and biology, including how cells effectively use a limited number of proteins to achieve a precisely controlled and robust gene-regulatory network; how this network is usurped when cells succumb to viral attack; and how one can use these viral hijacking proteins as inspiration for the design of miniature proteins that mimic, and sometimes surpass, the functional properties of proteins found in nature.

The Mitchell-Ruff Duo will perform their final concert in the "Willie Ruff's Shoreline Jazz" series on Saturday, April 27. The duo is comprised of Willie Ruff, adjunct professor at the School of Music, on French horn and bass and Dwike Mitchell on piano. The performance, presented by the Shoreline Arts Alliance (SAA), will begin at 8 p.m. in Branford High School. Tickets are $15 for the general public and $12 for SAA members, students and seniors. Reservations can be made by contacting the SAA at (203) 453-3890 or www.shorelinearts.org.
