The expansion of the science and technology section of The Daily Collegian is a great addition to the student newspaper.

Penn State faculty, staff and students are engaged in some of the most exciting research in the world and the Collegian offers a good way for people to learn more about that important work.

Penn Staters have discovered new planets, new life forms at the bottom of the ocean, and new ways to treat old diseases.

They are inventing the future, and because this is a research university, undergraduate and graduate students can be found working on cutting-edge research along with the faculty.

Thanks for understanding the implications of this important work by including science and research news more heavily into your coverage of university life.
