Ohio governor bob taft visits Center for Photochemical Sciences
 

 

Governor Bob Taft, on a tour of northwest Ohio, stopped at Bowling Green State University, specifically to visit the Center for Photochemical Sciences.  Taft made the visit as part of a tour to promote a new State of Ohio initiative called the Third Frontier, which will provide $1.6 billion to promote research and hi-tech industry in Ohio.


Dr. D. C. Neckers, along with Sandra Knudsen, Associate Curator of Ancient Art at the Toledo Museum of Art, explains to Governor Bob Taft how the Center for Photochemical Sciences is shedding light on the past using technology of the future.

Skulls were recreated from CT scans of two Toledo Museum of Art mummies using stereolithography.  The faces were then recreated by a forensics pathologist to resemble what they might have looked like.



Governor Taft, along with BGSU President Sidney Ribeau, toured the lab facility of Dr. Michael Rodgers, Eminent Scholar and Professor of the Center for Photochemical Sciences
