Kristal Tucker, pictured left, speaks to Penelope Morrison via a Beam telepresence robot. Morrison, assistant professor of biobehavioral health at Penn State New Kensington, and Tucker, assistant professor of biology at Penn State Greater Allegheny, received the robot through a Penn State Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT) REACH grant. The robots are being used in the classrooms to bridge the distance between campuses for the shared biobehavioral health program.
