Weekly roundup: Challenger League highlights this week in Williamstown
In a week with a lot of ups and downs, the Challenger League was the highlight of the best that Williamstown has to offer
On Tuesdays and Saturdays through the spring, the Challenger League will play the wonderful game of baseball at the Church Street complex in Williamstown. The league is for children with disabilities. “I just want them to have fun and say ‘I play ball’.” Coach Heather Brown said. “The kids are active, they’re out playing a sport, they’re not at home on the computer, it gets them out and running around and having a good time.”
Dr. Christina Nase was honored for her work in the STEM field
Nase, who has her Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Florida and a B.S. in chemistry from Bloomsbury University, began her education on a different path. Originally planning to major in nursing, she took a biochemistry class as part of her coursework, which quickly ignited a passion that lead her in a different direction. “I fell in love with biochemistry right away,” Nase explains. “I could see so many real world examples of chemistry in my everyday life.”
