Young Investigator: Michelle J Yoo
No full text Supervisor’s supporting comments I have always been impressed with Michelle’s ability to conduct research in an independent and yet highly effective manner. Part of her research in my group has examined the use of affinity columns to examine drug–protein binding with serum proteins, such as human serum albumin. This work is extremely important to the fields of pharmaceutical chemistry and clinical chemistry in providing the data needed for the development of new drugs or in the optimization of treatments for patients with new, or existing, drugs. Another topic that Michelle has examined in her research is the use of new supports based on monolithic materials and ultrafast-extraction methods for affinity-based separations of biological samples and high-throughput screening of drug–protein binding. She was the lead author on a review written on this topic and also has several research publications related to this area of work. During her graduate studies, Michelle has emerged as a real leader in my group. She has excellent people and communication skills and is highly motivated in her pursuit of an advanced degree in analytical chemistry and bioanalysis. I have extremely high expectations for her in the future as she continues her career.

Michelle Obama’s Impact on African American Women and Girls
Full text linkRachelle Brunn-Bevel is a contributing author (with Kristin Richardson), Let’s Move! with Michelle Obama.
Book description:
This edited collection explores how First Lady Michelle Obama gradually expanded and broadened her role by engaging in social, political and economic activities which directly and indirectly impacted the lives of the American people, especially young women and girls. The volume responds to the various representations of Michelle Obama and how the language and images used to depict her either affirmed, offended, represented or misrepresented her and its authors. It is an interdisciplinary evaluation by African American women and girls of the First Lady’s overall impact through several media, including original artwork and poetry. It also examines her political activities during and post-election 2016.https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/sociologyandanthropology-books/1065/thumbnail.jp

Michelle Lacombe : Capsules vidéos : Une bibliographie commentée en temps réel
No full text"Michelle Lacombe has developed a unique practice related to bodies since the end of her studies at Concordia University in 2006. Intentionally minimalist, her creation, anchored in research, start where the gesture and the trace interconnect and perform, simultaneously banal and extreme, they take the form of radically short actions. Her work was distributed in Canada, the United-States and Europe for events, expositions and discussions. Her artistic creation was born from a deep commitment towards alternative dissemination strategies and performative practices. She worked with multiple galleries in Montreal, like Articule, La Art Action, a platform biennial of performance. Moreover, she has numerous complementary experiences as curator, author and as a person who generally resists culture domination." -- Publisher's website
