Grant Russell and David Kryscynski, Organizational Leadership and Strategy Introduction The aim of this project was to better understand how individuals within an organization would affect the organization’s ability to innovate, compete, and sustain strategic advantage in the marketplace as measured through ‘expert’ surveys. This was driven by David Kryscynski in partnership with the RBL […]

Can Counter-Stereotypical Images Humanize an Outgroup?
James Martherus and Quin Monson, Department of Political Science Groups like Seeds of Peace that seek to promote conflict resolution often attempt to do so by humanizing an outgroup. For example, to reduce conflict in Israel, I might gather Jewish Israelis and Arab Israelis and have them engage in activities designed to produce mutual empathy […]
Food as a Cultural and Human Experience: Exploring the Italian social traditions around food through photography
Sarah Wight and Paul Adams, Department of Design Introduction Last June, I set out with camera in hand to explore the Italian social traditions around food. I wanted to capture what mealtimes mean to Italians, and how they differ from Americans. I planned to create a body of work that acts as a window into […]
Good vs. Evil: Incorporating Human Stimuli to the Question of Infant Morality
Jordan Layton and Dr. Ross Flom, Psychology A recent as well as intriguing question in developmental psychology is whether human infants have an innate sense of morality. Media outlets such as 60 Minutes and New York Times magazine have reported findings from Hamlin et al. (2007)1 that infants as young as 6-months have the innate […]
Big Humanities, Big Data: Genre Analysis of Eighteenth-Century British Poetry
Brittany Strobelt, Kylan Rice, Dr. Matthew Wickman, and Dr. Billy Hall, English Department The continual digitalization of society has not only permeated research in the Humanities, but is constantly revealing just how crucial it is to the Humanities’ future. Whereas research in the Humanities is normally limited to a very narrow dataset, digital humanities tools […]
Use of humanized mice to study the production of human antibodies
Steven Hallam and Dr. Bradford Berges, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Introduction The human immune system is composed of two main subsets: innate and adaptive immunities. Among the adaptive immune cells, B cells play a vital role in stopping infectious agents through the production of antigen specific antibodies. Human B cells are important targets of infection […]
Extent and Mechanism of Translational Readthrough in Humans
Michael Porter and Dr. John Prince, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction Proteins are an integral part of the cell. They are responsible for metabolism, DNA replication, transportation, and responding to changes in environment. Because of their importance to the cell, proteins are often drug targets due to the important roles they play in carrying […]
Mega-autophagosome Induction by Human COX-3 and Human Nucleobindin
Gideon N. Logan and Daniel Simmons, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Introduction Cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes catalyze the first step of prostanoid synthesis, which plays a role in various conditions including pain, inflammation, arthritis, and cancer. Recently our laboratory has shown that mammalian cell lines transfected with the COX-1 splice variant, COX-3, express translationally recoded proteins, […]
Use of Humanized Mice to Study the Production of Human B Cell Lineage
German Cuadra and Dr. Bradford Berges, Microbiology & Molecular Biology Department Our study focuses on the development of an animal model capable of reproduce cellular responses as in humans. For years humanized mice have been used in the study of infectious diseases. The goal of this research was to document, characterize and record the existence […]
Humanized Mouse Model for the Study of Human herpesvirus 6 Infections
Stephanie Carlson and Dr. Bradford Berges, Molecular and Microbiology While working on this project, we had several unforeseen setbacks. Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV- 6) proved much more difficult to work with than we had supposed. It was tricky to propagate (make it replicate) and hard to quantify. It does not behave like other viruses we […]
