Newtonian Society Swedes in Stem - Brandon Davis '18

September 22, 2022

This edition of our Alumni Spotlight Series features Swedes in STEM.


Brandon Davis graduated from Bethany College in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Biology. While at Bethany, Brandon played guard on the Bethany College Basketball Team under Head Coach Clair Oleen. His favorite memories were going to Dr. Lockyear’s office to bother her with all his chemistry questions. The most valuable skills and knowledge Brandon learned while at Bethany were taught in the Human Anatomy and Health and Disease classes. These classes helped prepare him for the work he does today.


Since graduation, Brandon has worked for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment Labs as a Microbiologist doing STI/STD testing while also helping put together the COVID lab. Currently, Brandon is working at ICON (Clinical Research Lab) as a Lab Analyst 2, testing clinical drugs using flow cytometry which is a lab test used to analyze the characteristics of cells or particles.


His advice for future and current Bethany science/math majors is to “utilize your professors. They are great resources for questions about schoolwork or as references for your future career.” 


The Newtonian Society (Math and Science Club) created the Swedes in STEM series to spotlight Bethany College Alumni with a degree in math science. They aim to recognize alumni achievements and provide a valuable resource to students pursuing a degree in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). A display is located outside of Nelson Lecture Hall, highlighting these alumni.
