Stockton University Biology Program updated their address.

NAMS family and friends, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. William Rosche on September 11, 2020, at the age of 54. 

Bill grew up in Milwaukee, WI, and earned his B.A. in Biology from DePauw University in Greencastle, IN in 1988.  He earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Texas A&M University in 1996, and then went on to complete a post-doctoral fellowship at Boston University.  He taught at the University of Tulsa before moving to New Jersey and joining the Biology program at Stockton in 2008. As a member of the Biology Faculty at Stockton, Bill taught Microbiology for nursing majors, Cells and Molecules, Genetics, and Molecular Microbiology. 
 
While he focused his career on science, he was also passionate about music, and he played the Saxophone whenever he could.  He loved his dog, Trapper, and he enjoyed baking for and going out for meals with his friends.
 
Bill loved to teach.  When his health forced him to retire, one of the things he missed the most was teaching, and interacting with his students.  He will be sadly missed.

Information to follow regarding funeral/memorial once the arrangements have been made.

Saturday is the 50th anniversary of man landing on the moon. At Stockton, we are also celebrating a few of our stellar students who recently presented their aero-research at the 2019 Student Spaceflight Experiments Program National Conference at the Air and Space Museum Annex in Chantilly, Virginia.

Mission 12 students Chioma Uka, Daniel Schneider and Christina Tallone presented “Effects of Microgravity on PEGMA Based Self-Assembly and Impacts on Drug Delivery Systems.” and Mission 13 students Joseph Romanowski, Matthew Elko and Daniel Stoyko presented “Analysis of double stranded break repair in haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae under spaceflight conditions.”

Our students are out of this world, and we’re over the moon about it. Read more about their experience at https://stockton.edu/news/2019/students-present-at-2019-ssep-conference.html.
