Researchers
Welcome
Thank you for viewing TCU Endeavors, TCU´s showcase for creativity and scholarship by TCU faculty. This full, online edition expands on the distributed print publicationThe spring 2009 edition is full of interesting information about the scholarly activities of our faculty. Did you know TCU has a husband and wife research team that is fighting to preserve biodiversity by tapping into the genetic code of endangered and invasive species? Did you know one professor is convinced that we can have both energy-efficient light bulbs and ones that sparkle? Did you know a TCU faculty member wrote a romantic comedy about high school students putting on a musical? Did you know studies at TCU analyze the impact of words and phrases in documentaries, TV shows, songs, images and even a Norman Rockwell painting? You´ll find out about these and other endeavors as you read on.
Special thanks to Nancy Bartosek and Tracy Bristol (TCU publications) and web developer Adam Burt whose hard work has enabled this publication. If you would like to receive a copy of the abbreviated print version for this and future editions, please let me know. I hope you enjoy reading about the exciting Endeavors of our faculty.
