With students back in classrooms this fall, educators and superintendents across New Jersey were once again welcomed back to NJIT’s campus to network and discuss fresh ways they can enrich hands-on STEM learning in their schools at the university’s fifth annual STEM School Leadership Forum — “Bringing Cutting-Edge STEM into Your Classrooms.”
It wasn’t more than a few months after she graduated with a biology degree in May of 2016 that NJIT alumna Pamela Carman swapped the university’s labs and lecture halls for a classroom all her own, just minutes from campus at Newark’s East Side High School.
Since then, Carman has become the driving force behind an up-and-coming curriculum that is training the city’s high school seniors in the latest investigative techniques used by professional forensic scientists.
Already, she’s earned award-winning success along the way.

The TV sitcom Friends just aired the finale of its 10th and final season, Usher’s hit single "Yeah!" is giving way to Maroon 5’s “This Love” atop the Billboard Top 100 and Massachusetts is about to become the first U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage.
But lurking under the ground, a seismic event in the insect world was also happening.
Art Garfunkel once described his legendary musical chemistry with Paul Simon, “We meet somewhere in the air through the vocal cords ... .” But a new study of duetting songbirds from Ecuador, the plain-tail wren (Pheugopedius euophrys), has offered another tune explaining the mysterious connection between successful performing duos.
It’s a link of their minds, and it happens, in fact, as each singer mutes the brain of the other as they coordinate their duets.
Among the honorees at this year’s College of Science and Liberal Arts Awards at NJIT were seven members of the Class of 2021 who earned the Outstanding Undergraduate Award.
