The Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) Centennial Gala, held Friday, October 20, in Aberdeen was the culminating event of a year-long celebration of APG’s 100th Anniversary. Approximately 780 people attended the Cabaret-themed event, which featured live music, a casino, dancing, comedy, fireworks, acrobats and other performers, and an After-Party at the Speakeasy. Merritt Property, which manages the Aberdeen Corporate Park on route 22 next to the Target store, donated the use of the 90,000-square foot building for the event. U.S. Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger, MG Randy Taylor, local and state elected officials, and senior Army officials were in attendance, as were hundreds of members of the Harford and Cecil County communities.
The Gala was hosted by the APG Centennial Celebration Association, which is working to establish the APG Discovery Center in Aberdeen. This facility will house an interactive STEM educational space for learners of all ages to experience science and technology through hands-on exhibits and demonstrations.
During 2017, the APG community hosted over 150 events during 2017 to commemorative APG’s 100-year history. The Live Fire, the APG Memorial dedication, the Rosie the Riveters movie, exhibits at the college and libraries, historical talks and presentations, and Science Cafes.
Bravura Information Technologies was the presenting sponsor of the event. Additional funding was provided by Harford County Office of Economic Development, APG Federal Credit Union, SURVICE Engineering, Harford Community College, AFCEA, IRA, Association of Old Crows, Tenax Technologies, Northeastern Maryland Technology Council, Veteran Corps of America, Profile Partners, Leidos, Cray Supercomputers, CACI, ManTech, Jacobs, Adams Communication, Booz Allen, Camber, Jones Junction Greater Harford Committee, Signatech, Cecil College and many more businesses.

Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth.
Demonstrations are fun, but there is always math involved when it comes to science. Maj. Brian Holloway, physics instructor and Army engineer, applied the principles of electricity and magnetism in a variety of “science tricks,” including the ever-popular and hair-raising Van de Graaff generator. The large electrostatic ball aptly shows how an electric field comes from static charges, whereas other demonstrations showed how a magnetic field derives from moving charges. The Center for STEM Education hosted the 3rd annual West Point Middle School STEM Workshop May 29-June 1, with 110 students throughout the nation participating in this hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Rose Griesgraber listens to a speaker at the Stem Cell Day of Discovery event held at the USC Health Sciences Campus in Los Angeles, CA. February 4th, 2017. The event encourages students to learn more about STEM opportunities, including stem cell study and biotech, and helps demystify the fields and encourage student engagement.

Colorized macro photo of a plant stem, which has been duplicated and flipped, similar to a double-exposure. You can see the plant cells in the tiny hairs that protrude off the main stem. Closeup taken with a zoom lens that has a 50mm lens attached backwards on the end, plus flash.
Crinoid stem in fossiliferous limestone in the Pennsylvanian of Ohio, USA.
The Lower Mercer Limestone is a Middle Pennsylvanian-aged, laterally persistent, marine fossiliferous limestone unit in the Pottsville Group of eastern Ohio, USA. It is richly fossiliferous, principally dominated by brachiopods and crinoid stems. The fossil shown above is a short segment of an articulated crinoid stem. Individual pieces of the stem are called columnals - they are usually somewhat shaped like poker chips. Each columnal is composed of a single crystal of calcite (CaCO3 - calcium carbonate).
Crinoids ("sea lilies") are sessile, benthic, filter-feeding, marine invertebrates that were abundant in Paleozoic oceans. The group nearly went extinct at the Permian-Triassic mass extinction 251 million years ago. Crinoids are not common in modern oceans - they are usually deep-water forms now, but some shallow-water forms also exist today. A crinoid is essentially a starfish on a stick. The stick, or stem, lifts the organism to a moderately high tier above the seafloor, which is conducive to non-competitive filter feeding. The flower-like "head" of the crinoid consists of numerous cemented calcite plates that surround the digestive system and other soft parts. The arms are feather-like and are the structures that engage in filter-feeding. In the fossil record, crinoid stems are common, whereas crinoid heads are uncommon to rare, because they disaggregate quickly after death.
