Bates News

“After four years of working towards our majors together, spending late nights in Bonney covering boards full of equations, what was hard work is now a small picture of who we are, and a snippet of what college was to us. I want to thank you guys for doing it with me and for being a part of me.”

— Blessing Akinmade ’25, a biochemistry major from Newark, N.J., addressing Sophia Ibeh ’25 and Darlene Igiraneza ‘25.

Billed as “Sophia + Darlene + Blessing’s Thesis Binding,” the gathering personified the Bates ritual of thesis binding with three seniors who acknowledged friends, family, faculty, and staff who supported and loved them along the way.

Akinmade’s thesis, “Translation: Borrelia Burgdorferi, The Causative Agent in Lyme Disease,” was written under the supervision of Stella James Sims Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Paula Schlax.

Ibeh, a biochemistry major with a concentration in the human body, from Houston, wrote her thesis, “Enzymes, Equity, and Expression: The Role of Cytochrome P450 Genetic Variability in Drug Metabolism and Racial Disparities in Clinical Outcomes for Black Patients,” under the supervision of Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Dylan Freas.

Igiraneza, a biology major from Glendale, Ariz., wrote her thesis, “Barriers of Survival: A Literature Review on Neonatal Mortality and Health Disparities,” under the supervision of Wagener Family Professor of Equity and Inclusion in STEM April Horton.

After speaking and binding, the three seniors toasted the moment with an uncorked spray of champagne on the steps of Coram Library midday on Friday, April 18.
