SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) - A Loyola College Prep Junior, Claire Scott, was the winner of the Flyers & Buyers contest on Wednesday, March, 10.
The event is sponsored by Louisiana Tech College of Business, Home Federal Bank, and Barksdale Federal Credit Union and is conducted through the Loyola Law Studies Program. The event is meant to teach students how to start a business, make marketing plans and handle dealings from potential investors.
Every six years, Louisiana Tech University’s School of Design must go through the reaccreditation process to ensure students are learning what they need to succeed in a changing world and that the program is following safety laws and meeting professional standards.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson signed Tuesday (March 9) a bill that prohibits abortions except in cases involving the health of the mother. The pro-life measure does not have an allowance for abortions in the case of rape or incest.
The bill, SB 6 (now Act 309), sailed through the supermajority Republican state Legislature. With 78 Republicans in the House and 27 in the Senate, the bill met little resistance in either chamber.
Though litigation is expected over the law, without court intervention it would go into effect in Arkansas on Aug. 3, 2021.
Hutchinson had voiced concerns about the measure due to the lack of a provision for rape or incest. In signing the bill, he acknowledged that concern, but it did not stop him from making the bill state law.
New research tool developed at Tech achieves success on International Space Station
Two months after technology developed by Dr. Gergana G. Nestorova, Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences at Louisiana Tech University, was launched into space, Dr. Kate Rubins, an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS) validated that the technology worked.
The new tool that featured a microscopic pin for rapid extraction of RNA was launched on SpaceX CSR-21 Dec. 6, and the test of the equipment was completed in the early hours of Feb. 16.
Nestorova’s tool prevents genomic contamination of the sample and enables repeated sampling of the biological specimen multiple times. The study was a collaborative project with the WetLab-2 team at NASA Ames Reasearch Center. The work on this project provided NASA research training opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students in Louisiana Tech’s School of Biological Sciences and Molecular Sciences and Nanotechnology program.
