Emily Tamkin ’22, a biology major from Lafayette, Calif., is doing a summer ’21 purposeful work internship tin brewing science, partnering with the Baxter Brewing Co. in Lewiston, where she’s studying the number of battering compounds that exist in beer throughout the brewing process. She is working under the supervision of Merritt Waldron, Baxter’s quality control manager, and Assistant Professor of Biology Lori Banks. Emily picks up samples from Baxter’s plant at 130 Mill Street in Lewiston and takes them to Carnegie Science where, in Dr. Bank’s lab, she conducts a chemical analysis of them. The compounds hit your taste buds, and your brain understands that they are bitter, she says.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Carnegie Science Hall is named for its major benefactor, Andrew Carnegie. The vast building houses the classrooms and laboratories of the Biology<\/a>, Earth and Climate Sciences<\/a>, and Physics and Astronomy<\/a> departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major addition and renovation in 1990 nearly doubled the building\u2019s size; among the additions were new laboratories, lecture and seminar classrooms, common spaces for interaction among faculty and students, and the Ladd Planetarium. A rooftop greenhouse and 0.5-meter observatory are among the building\u2019s more notable features.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false,"blocks":[{"blockName":"bates-campus-tour\/tour-meta","attrs":[],"innerBlocks":[],"innerHTML":"","innerContent":[]},{"blockName":null,"attrs":[],"innerBlocks":[],"innerHTML":"\n\n","innerContent":["\n\n"]},{"blockName":"bates-toolbox\/readonly","attrs":{"text":"Add an overhead view"},"innerBlocks":[],"innerHTML":"","innerContent":[]},{"blockName":null,"attrs":[],"innerBlocks":[],"innerHTML":"\n\n","innerContent":["\n\n"]},{"blockName":"bates-campus-tour\/tour-images","attrs":[],"innerBlocks":[{"blockName":"core\/columns","attrs":[],"innerBlocks":[{"blockName":"core\/column","attrs":[],"innerBlocks":[{"blockName":"core\/image","attrs":{"id":1942,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none","className":"overhead-view-image"},"innerBlocks":[],"innerHTML":"\n
