An expert in shoulder and knee surgery and an international leader in tissue engineering research will speak Friday, Nov. 4, at Montana State University.
Dr. Cato T. Laurencin — recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence and innovator in the regeneration of knee tissue — will give a free public seminar on “Regenerative Engineering of the Musculoskeletal System” at 7:30 p.m. in the Hager Auditorium of MSU’s Museum of the Rockies. A reception will precede the talk at 6:45 p.m.
President Barack Obama, in 2009, gave Laurencin the Presidential Award for Excellence, an honor given to science, math and engineering mentors. Scientific American Magazine recently named Laurencin one of the top 50 innovators for his groundbreaking technological work in regenerating knee tissue. The American Institute of Chemical Engineers included him on its list of “100 Chemical Engineers of the Modern Era.” In 2009, the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering gave him its highest honor, the Pierre Galletti Award.
Laurencin is a professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the UConn Health Center. He is CEO of the Connecticut Institute for Clinical and Translational Science, director of the Institute for Regenerative Engineering and the Van Dusen Endowed Chair in Orthopaedic Surgery. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and the American College of Orthopaedic Surgeons, is widely published in scholarly journals and holds more than 20 U.S. patents.
Laurencin was asked to speak at MSU by Cassandra Langr of Bozeman, a fellow in MSU’s Molecular Biosciences Program and a doctoral candidate in chemical engineering, studying under Ross Carlson. Second-year fellows are encouraged to invite speakers to campus for the program’s seminar series. Langr said she wanted to invite a speaker who crosses several disciplines like the Molecular Biosciences Program does. She came across Laurencin in her search and noted that he is not only an M.D. orthopaedic surgeon, but a Ph.D. biosciences engineer.
Laurencin’s lecture is sponsored by the Molecular Biosciences Program and the Montana INBRE program.
Megan Paulson is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Outlaw Partners.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
