For the second year in a row, TCNJ students participated in NASA’s Microgravity University, getting the chance to fabricate, fly, and evaluate their own self-designed, reduced-gravity experiment. TCNJ’s group, nicknamed Team DPX (short for Dusty Plasma Experiment), was made up of second-year “veterans” Justin Nieusma ’09 and Rachel Sherman ’09 (above center), as well as “rookies” Russell Jones III ’09 (above left), Chaz Ruggieri ’09 (above right), Darrick Jones ’10, Chris Conniff ’10, and Aliya Merali ’11.
