| Dr. Andrew Hatchett, assistant professor of kinesiology at UL Lafayette, is working closely with people recovering from cancer to see how they may benefit from exercise. Research suggests that physical activity is beneficial, but Hatchett is taking it one step further. He's investigating the connection between working out and getting well by focusing on individual patients. "Cancer is not a cookie-cutter disease. You may have two patients with the same type of cancer, receiving the same treatment, who will have totally different reactions to the treatment," he said. Hatchett is teaming up with the Miles Perret Cancer Center to continue his research. |

The Cajun Advanced Picosatellite Experiment team is using weather balloons and floating buoys to test CAPE-2. The project gives students an inside look into the aerospace industry.
The team launched its original satellite in Lower Earth Orbit, which is about 60 to 450 nautical miles above the Earth’s surface, from Kazakhstan. |
