Susan Dutcher<\/strong> is a professor of genetics and cell biology and physiology at Washington University in St. Louis, where she studies the green algae chlamydomonas<\/em> as a model for understanding how errors in genes for human cilia can cause major health problems in people. In a collaboration funded by the Children\u2019s Discovery Institute, Susan works with Thomas Ferkol, M.D., professor of pediatrics, and Philip Bayly, to understand genetic defects in cilia that cause primary ciliary dyskinesia, a rare hereditary disease.<\/p>\n Hans Jorgensen <\/strong>is living in Allerod, Denmark. He operates an energy consulting business and has started working as an advisor to the South African government as they work to develop their energy sector through private investment in power generation.<\/p>\n As director of the U.S. Geological Survey, Marcia McNutt <\/strong>was deployed to BP headquarters in Houston by fellow CC alumnus and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, after the Deepwater Horizon explosion. Marcia helped coordinate a team of federal scientists and engineers involved in the oil containment and well kill. The team worked collaboratively with BP engineers to cap off the well on July 15 to stop the flow into the ocean. Marcia also headed the federal Flow Rate Technical Group charged with estimating the true discharge from the well after it became apparent from the first deep sea video that the rate was many times higher than the original estimate. Along with Department of Energy engineers, the team determined the flow rate from the well decreased from 62,000 to 53,000 barrels per day during the 87-day incident.<\/p>\n John Kessel<\/strong> was Jay Engeln\u2019s<\/strong> guest at the CC\/DU tailgate party and game in Denver. John won the DU Alumni Club raffle that was held at the hockey game. At the game John endorsed the $1,000 check to Colorado College to be used for student scholarships (Walton Family Foundation matching grant).<\/p>\n Former Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter appointed Stephen Enderlin Howard<\/strong> of Fort Collins to the position of district court judge in the 8th Judicial District. He is currently a partner at Howard and Francis. He previously worked at Fischer and Wilmarth as an associate and partner.<\/p>\n Elizabeth A. McGlynn<\/strong> has been named director of the Kaiser Permanente Center for Effectiveness and Safety Research. Elizabeth has become an internationally known expert on evaluating health-care delivery. Most recently, she held the RAND Distinguished Chair in Health Care Quality. She will be located at Kaiser Permanente in Pasadena, Calif.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\u201975<\/h3>\n
