Pitt engineers blend beer and science DA SEEKS DEATH PENALTY FOR STUDENT HOMICIDE Janine Faust

Assistant News Editor The Allegheny County district attorney’s office will seek the death penalty for Matthew Darby, a 21-year-old man accused of killing Pitt student Alina Sheykhet.

Sheykhet was found dead in her home in Oakland Oct. 8, 2017. Darby — her ex-boyfriend — has been charged with homicide, flight, burglary, theft, trespassing and possessing an instrument of crime.

The District Attorney’s Notice of Intention, filed Thursday, cites four “aggravating circumstances” that the prosecution intends to submit that could justify capital punishment.

These circumstances include that Sheykhet was a prosecution witness in a case involving Darby and was then murdered to prevent her testifying, that Darby committed the killing during the perpetration of a felony, that at the time of the killing Sheykhet had a court order meant to protect her from Darby and that he has a history of violence.

Capital punishment in Pennsylvania can only be applied to someone found guilty of first-degree murder. Then, in a separate hearing, the prosecution must prove to a jury that any aggravating circumstances outweigh any mitigating circumstances provided by the defense.

Professor Robert Parker addresses his students during a quiz in his class, Engineering a Craft Brewery, Thursday afternoon. Thomas Yang VISUAL EDITOR

Rose Luder Staff Writer Groups of students sat around several computer-topped desks in a Benedum Hall classroom, casually making conversation as they waited for their Thursday afternoon class to begin. Suddenly, a question flashed across the screen: “Belgian or German wheat beer?”

Professor Robert Parker repeated this question, marking the beginning of class. He counted the hands that raised in response and determined that neither beer won.

Last spring the Swanson School of Engineering added an unusual elective to their course of-

ferings — Engineering a Craft Brewery — or as students more commonly call it, “beer class.”

Chris Siak, a senior studying electrical engineering, said he enrolled in the class for a simple reason.

“You get to drink beer during class,” Siak said. “Why wouldn’t I want to take it?”

Parker, the vice chair for graduate education and a professor in the chemical and petroleum engineering department, introduced and now teaches the class. Parker first began casually brewing at home in 2000 alongside a colleague at Carnegie Mellon University. He decided to incorporate the craft into Pitt’s academics last year when he saw how popular craft breweries

had become.

Parker said the class is beneficial for students because the process is “an outstanding example of engineering and product design.”

“The layout and design of the facilities and the equipment, and how do you move water and how does it get heated and cooled the way it needs to, these are all engineering processes,” he said. “The conversion of sugar out of grain and to alcohol is good reaction engineering, so you’ve got some good chemical engineering, mechanical engineering taking place.”

The class, which fulfills elective requirements for several engineering majors, is taught See Beer on page 3

STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT SEX SAFETY

Laura Howe and Sophia Mastroianni The Pitt News Staff

“Birth Control Methods” is not a category a contestant would typically encounter on “Jeopardy!” But about 20 students were presented with it and other categories revolving around sexual health Thursday night in the Cathedral of Learning.

These students were participating in a Q&A session about sexuality and women’s sexual reproductive health with Dr. Marni Greenwald and Dr. Elizabeth Wettick from Pitt’s Student Health Service. Student Government Board hosted the event as part of Sexual and Reproductive Health Awareness Week. The students played a game reminiscent of “Jeopardy!” that asked them questions related to sexually transmitted diseases, contraceptive care and maintaining a healthy sexual lifestyle. They were encouraged to ask questions about the topics presented during the game.

Wettick and Greenwald displayed images of emergency contraceptive care like the Plan B pill and ella, another morning-after alternative with a higher percentage of effectiveness after 72 hours of unprotected sex. Student Health is able to write prescriptions for ella, and Plan B does not require a prescription.

“People get all judgmental about people having unprotected sex,” Wettick said during the game. “But we’re not here preaching abstinence.”

Wettick and Greenwald also passed around a flyer containing information about feminine health items available through Student Health, including pregnancy tests for $6.

pittnews.com

One student selected “Birth Control Methods for 200,” revealing the question “Birth control pills make you gain weight, fact or fiction?”

Greenwald said this myth comes from the 1960s and 1970s, when birth control pills used to have higher doses of hormones.

“Weight gain is definitely one of the most common concerns that patients have when they come in to talk about contraception,” Greenwald said. “We know that there have been dozens and dozens and dozens of studies done on this, that taking modern birth control pills do not cause weight gain.”

After discussing proper tampon use, a student from the audience asked if toxic shock syndrome — a life-threatening bacterial infection predominantly caused by superabsorbent tampons — happens frequently.

Wettick said she’s only seen one case of toxic shock syndrome during her practice, and she immediately recognized the symptoms, instructed the girl to remove her tampon and sent her to the emergency room for expedited treatment.

“I’m a big fan of the DivaCup,” Wettick said.

“No one ever gets toxic shock from those.”

Although the only completely effective way to not get pregnant is to abstain from sex, Wettick said, she and Greenwald discussed the effectiveness of different measures to reduce the risk of pregnancy. They focused on both preventative contraception and emergency contraception, strongly advocating for intrauterine devices and ella. Women with access to these resources have a better chance of utilizing them, Greenwald said.

“Women who have emergency contraception

The doctors also addressed the confusion many women have figuring out whether or not they have a STD. Often, women associate vaginal discharge with an STD, which is not always the case.

“Vaginal discharge, for sure, is the most common [symptom],” Wettick said. “[But] some discharge can be normal — that doesn’t necessarily indicate an STD.” But often, women who have an STD are completely unaware because of its dormancy or invisible symptoms, meaning the STD is virtually undetectable. Greenwald and Wettick reminded the attendees of the resources Student Health has for people to safely get tested and encouraged they do so at least once a year.

February 16, 2018

“Mostly, we just want to make sure students understand that Student Health Service is here to serve them,” Wettick said. “We really do have very robust women’s health [services.]”

Maddie Guido, an SGB board member who helped organize the awareness week, agreed with the importance of knowing what services are available on campus, and said conversations about sexuality and sexual health are important too.

“If we can have 10 students who are more comfortable talking about sexual health or 10 students who walk away with sexual health resources that they didn’t have or didn’t know about before, then it will have been a success,” she said.

in the spring and open to students over 21.

Parker designed the class to give students practice in designing an actual beer in case they decide to work in craft breweries in the future.

Students pay a $100 fee to enroll in the class, which helps pay for the provided beer.

Siak said students are allowed to drink in class on “sensory perception days,” which are sessions Parker holds six times per semester to allow students to taste the beers he lectures about in class, followed by a quiz to test the students’ knowledge on specific beers. The quizzes are designed to help students distinguish between beers that are made by different processes.

On perception days, class is held in the O’Hara Student Center rather than in a classroom. Bartenders serve the students beers from local breweries and occasionally from Parker’s own collection of home brews. Students treat the event casually, often taking out their phones to post pictures of the academic drinking on social media. Due to University policies, students cannot drink more than 12 oz. of beer per class.

During regular class meetings, the class of about 75 listens to Parker lecture about the en-

gineering components behind beer production.

Parker gave a lengthy description of the chemical reaction behind the first step in the brewing process one day, which Siak had some difficulty with as an electrical engineer.

“The sensory things are easy, but like this chemistry stuff ? I’m sure it’s super easy for all the chem E’s, but I have no idea what he’s talking about,” Siak said.

Senior chemical engineering student Daniel Wang said he took the class last spring because he knew how much chemical engineering was involved in the beer-making process.

“Even my manager at the chemical company that I work with, he just brews beer on the side, too. It’s a common hobby among chemical engineers,” Wang said.

Throughout the semester, students occasionally help Parker with small portions of the process, though no beer is brewed on campus.

Parker takes the class’s product home and brews the beer, which he then serves to chemical engineering graduates at commencement.

The undergraduate engineering class is just the beginning of Parker’s “five-year plan” to bring a larger brewing operation to Pitt’s campus. Eventually, Parker said he would like to see a fully functioning brewery on campus that not only engages engineering students, but also

business, law, biology and chemistry students.

“Business students could come run the books, law students could deal with the legal stuff,” Parker said. “So there’s a whole educational component to having a brewery on campus.”

Parker said if Pitt were to open a brewery, engineers could use their skills to tailor beers to customers’ needs, perhaps even serving personalized beers at Pitt basketball games.

“From Pitt’s perspective, it makes sense,” he said. “Instead of ordering in, you just order it from the brewery, who design and brew it, and then bring it to your event.”

Parker is optimistic about his plan, partly because similar projects have been initiated at other schools, such as University of California, Davis and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, both of which run functional breweries on campus.

Students, non-chemical engineers and chemical engineers alike, had positive reactions to the class. In March, several of them are going to Belgium for spring break as a part of the class’s optional study abroad trip, where they will tour Belgian breweries. The trip is open to engineering students who are taking or have taken the class, and costs $4,200.

Parker predicted this level of class enjoy-

ment and said he wants to bring craft brewing to Pitt because of the culture it fosters.

“The people in the brewing industry are just outstanding human beings — they’re collaborative, they’re fun to be around [and] everybody wants to understand and see what’s going on,” Parker said. “It’s just a very supportive environment.”

Homicide, pg. 1 Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf placed a moratorium on the death penalty in 2015 as he awaited a report from a capital punishment task force. The state has not executed an inmate since 1999, though 154 inmates are on death row as of Feb. 1.

Darby was previously arrested Sept. 26, 2017, for breaking into Sheykhet’s home on Cable Place. He was charged with criminal trespass but released on bond. Sheykhet filed a protection-from-abuse order against Darby as a result. He was served with the PFA Oct. 5, 2017, a few days before her death.

Darby is also facing trial for charges of rape and sexual assault in an unrelated case in Indiana, Pennsylvania.

BIDEN BEGS THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION Maggie Durwald

progressivism and the working class could po- nering support from more liberal Democrats in tentially win over many of the voters who elected the part — his progressive platform is sometimes at odds with where his support actually lies.

I settled into my seat at the Carnegie Music Trump in 2016.

Biden hasn’t always acted like the most proData from the 2016 election shows this to be Hall Monday night, surrounded by cheering audience members, whose exclamations of “Run, a critical group to win over in the coming years. gressive candidate — he supported increased inJoe, run!” rang throughout the hall. Former Vice Trump gained the support of the majority of carceration with his 1994 Violent Crime Control white, non-college-educated voters during the Act, opposed “partial-birth” abortions and voted President Joe Biden had arrived in Pittsburgh.

Biden’s 27th and final stop on his American Promise Tour took him to the Steel City Monday to talk about his new book, “Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose.” The book details the year his son, Beau, died of brain cancer — but much of the audience was there for a different reason: to encourage him to run for president in 2020.

Biden has the kind of empathy and understanding people want and need from a leader — but his speech also reminded the audience why he might not be the best candidate to represent his party. Biden is quick to tout his progressive platform, but his voting habits suggest a different story.

Biden’s had plenty of opportunity to explore this presidency possibility during his slew of public appearances scheduled for this year, along with Former Vice President Joe Biden addresses the audience before the conthe 27 stops on his book tour. His packed schedclusion of his American Promise tour event at Carnegie Music Hall Monday ule has invited speculation about whether or not evening.

And what better place test his popularity than in Pennsylvania — Biden’s home state. He opened up his Pittsburgh event by talking about his many visits to steel plants over the years and his conversations with the men and women who work there. He expressed deep admiration for the work they do, energetically describing the amazing feat of welding beams together at great heights.

If the crowd at Carnegie Music Hall was any indication, a bid for 2020 from “Uncle Joe” might garner considerable support from Democrats. He inspired frequent applause, laughter and standing ovations during his Monday evening visit.

But more importantly, Biden’s speech — both the parts about his childhood and his interpretation of modern politics — spoke strongly to blue-collar workers. His peace offering between

2016 presidential election, which accounted for 44 percent of people who voted. Democrats need to tap into that demographic if they hope to make a convincing bid for the White House.

“I don’t have to choose between my heart and my soul,” he said, referencing what many voters perceive to be a conflict of interests between progressivism and the working class.

Few current Democrats have a strong relationship with the working class the way that Biden does. Born in Scranton and known for using public transportation to travel to work in Washington, D.C., he’s had plenty of time to earn a reputation as the voice of those struggling to make ends meet.

But Biden’s relationship with the working class could also be what hinders him from gar-

for the Iraq war.

While all of these issues might have the kind of conservative lean that blue-collar Americans would support in a general election, it might be cause for concern for the more liberal Democrats who carry the party.

And Biden’s wavering isn’t limited to his platform, either. He often strayed from talking about the book during Monday’s event, taking expected sidebars to talk about the current presidential administration.

It’s hard to pinpoint Biden’s true intentions for the tour — whether he does in fact have an eye on 2020, or whether his more than 40 years as an elected official naturally directed the conversation to what has been his lifeblood.

The question of a 2020 presidential run

February 16, 2018

buzzed, almost tangibly, throughout the music hall that night. Biden himself even acknowledged it, albeit evasively, by laughing off serious inquiries of a 2020 campaign. When the moderator asked Biden what his plans for the future include, Biden laughed and admitted to knowing what she meant — but he refused to give any answer regarding the possibility of announcing his candidacy.

Biden continued by reminding the audience of his positive stance toward women’s rights. He touted his introduction of the Violence Against Women Act to the Senate in 1990 and spoke about the importance of shattering the glass ceiling — and the privilege of being able to do so.

He recognizes that women who break through the glass ceiling, or break into careers or fields that have been male-dominated in the past, are generally professional, white women. Biden realizes that not all women want or are able to do something so drastic. He seemed to recognize the women of struggling households, acknowledging that a lot of Americans simply want politicians to see what they do and help them get by.

But again on this subject, his voting record might give pause to some progressive voters. He voted for the amendment in 1982 that would have overturned the Roe v. Wade decision. Meanwhile, he calls himself “pro-choice” and said he wouldn’t impose his religious beliefs on anyone else.

He may be able to tap into the wave of populism the United States is currently riding, but he has a long and twisted past as a public servant.

It’s very possible voters will see his long history with the establishment in the same negative way they saw Hillary Clinton’s tenure during her 2016 presidential run.

But even knowing all of this and listening to him speak, I couldn’t help but think that for 2020, Democrats need to run someone with his level of empathy. Whether or not Biden himself is the right choice remains unknown.

PANTHERS SET TO SWING INTO SPRING Michael Nitti

For The Pitt News While the Pirates just sent their pitchers and catchers down to Bradenton, Florida, for spring training, the Pitt baseball and softball teams are already getting started in their 2018 campaigns.

Both Pitt squads are coming off of difficult seasons that saw each team finish with losing records in the ACC. Baseball The baseball team is coming off of a 23-30 season, going 9-21 in ACC play. The Panthers were 21-21 before dropping nine of their final 11 games of the season last year, finishing 13th out of 14 teams in the ACC. The Panthers bring both consistency and power from last year’s lineup, with their leaders in both batting average and home runs returning from last season.

Sophomore second baseman Alex Amos — who hit a team-high .304 last season — and senior third baseman Nick Banman — who swatted a team-high eight home runs — both look to play big roles on this year’s Panthers team.

Amos also started all 53 games for the Panthers and led the team with a .456 on-base percentage.

Among those returning to the mound for the Panthers is redshirt senior Matt Pidich, who led the team with four wins last year. With several contributors from last year’s team graduating, Pidich and sophomore Dan Hammer are the only two starters that remain from last year’s pitching rotation.

Pidich is entering his second full season coming off of Tommy John surgery, a procedure used to replace torn tendons in the elbow.

“As of now, this is the healthiest and strongest I’ve ever been.” Pidich said at Spring Sports Media Day last Tuesday.

Injuries played a big part last year for the club, but head coach Joe Jordano is optimistic heading into this year.

“This year we’re healthy. We’re in good shape in terms of depth, not only from a position player perspective, but from a pitching side,” Jordano said.

This year’s team will feature 14 newcomers,

Senior shortstop McKayla Taylor (15) hit eight home runs in the 2017 season.

John Hamilton MANAGING EDITOR including nine true freshmen. Among the new additions are three infielders, three outfielders, two pitchers and one catcher.

This year’s senior class consists of five players, including Frank Maldonado, Banman and Pidich.

The other two are first baseman Caleb Parry — who posted a .276 batting average and .994 fielding percentage last season — and pitcher TJ Pagan, who made 14 appearances in his debut season with the Panthers after transferring from Hartford Community College.

Some notable players coming off their freshman campaigns include sophomores

Amos, Hammer, outfielder Nico Popa and relief pitcher RJ Freure. Hammer was third on the team in innings pitched and strikeouts with 59 and 51, respectively.

Freure logged 38 innings out of the bull pen while striking out 46, which was most among relievers on the club. Popa started 50 games last season and was second on the team with 10 stolen bases.

The Panthers kick off their season this weekend in Florida for the Sunshine State Classic with games against Toledo and Saint Louis, along with two games against Oakland.

February 16, 2018

Softball Guided by head coach Holly Aprile, Pitt softball is already off to a hot start, going 3-1-1 so far as they look to build off of last year, when they went 24-23 overall and 7-17 in the ACC. This year’s senior class has five players, three of whom were regulars in the starting lineup, and another who saw significant playing time on the mound. Standout designated hitter and catcher Giorgiana Zeremenko led the team in almost every offensive category with 11 home runs, 10 doubles, 35 runs batted in, a .295 batting average and a .604 slugging percentage.

After a stellar 2016 season, in which she hit .366, senior outfielder Erin Hershman dropped off, hitting .202 last season. If Hershman can bounce back this year, it will go a long way toward the Panthers’ success in the ACC. Senior shortstop McKayla Taylor, who clubbed eight home runs and drove in 25 runs last season, said she wants to set an example for teammates on the field this year.

“As a senior, it’s our last go-around, it’s something where you want your team to want to play for you and you want to play for your teammates too,” Taylor said. “So I think it’s just a thing of wanting to be out there and be the example of how you want your underclassman and even your juniors who are going to experience it next year [to be].”

Last season, senior pitcher Kayla Harris started 22 games, half of which she completed, with two shutouts. Harris was second on the team in wins with nine, and second in innings pitched with 119.

Sophomore Brittany Knight is coming off a strong freshman season leading the team in innings pitched with 151.2 and wins with 13.

Also returning is junior pitcher Sarah Dawson, who notched a team high three saves last season.

Junior third baseman Olivia Gray is coming off a productive season as well, hitting .290 with seven home runs and 25 runs batted in.

The Panthers look to continue their hot start at the ACC/Big Ten Challenge in Chapel Hill this weekend with two games against Wisconsin and two against Iowa.
