Halmos Biology Faculty and Students Featured on Telemundo

Torruellas Garcia Telemundo SharkbyteAt the beginning of February, Halmos College faculty member Julie Torruellas Garcia, Ph.D. was interviewed by Telemundo for a series of segments called “Amenaza Escondida”. These segments about hidden threats will appear on the news show “Al Rojo Vivo” on Wednesdays, 4-5 p.m., from February 7 – 28. Each week there will be a discussion on the results of bacteria found in various places.

Students involved are Biology majors Miguel Portales Guemes, Samir Nacer, Michael McDonough, and Alina Philp. Portales Guemes, Nacer, and McDonough are also in the Farquhar Honors College.
