On Friday, I had the opportunity to attend presentations by participants in the Summer Undergraduate Research Program. The work being done on by these students with their mentors is very impressive.
- Erica Meier and Katie Redford (Professors Teresa Faris and Sue Messer) presented on women artists who work with metals.
- Emily Castellanos and Ken Formby (Professor Jeff McKinnon) are researching the genetics of female color in stickleback fish.
- Sam Miller (Professor McKinnon) also studies stickleback fish, focusing on male preference for female color.
- Jason Moore and Allison Lewis (Professor Mike Woller) looked at the regulation of GnRh production.
- Jessica Solis and Aaron Trow (Professor Kris Curran) examined circadian genes in the Xenopus frog.
- Bryan Asby, Roxy Godiwalla, Tristan Long, and Josh Roe (Professors Catherine Chan, Baocheng Han, and Hassimi Traore) looked at genetic mutations of plants and the effects of calcium.
- Shane Degen and Carlene Polk (Peter Jacobs) researched the distribution of loess in the soil of Southeastern Wisconsin.
- Philip Castillo and Katherine Kennedy (Professor Linda Reid) are examining the effects of reimbursement policies related to jury duty.
- John Pettey (Professor York Norman) looked at the history of the American School in Beirut.
- Emily Zeien (Professor Elizabeth Hachten) investigated public health nursing program for Native Americans in Wisconsin.
