Latest OWU connection experiences: Summer research in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Cornell University; Presentation of research results at three specialist conferences

Steed spent last summer using cryo-electron microscopy to “characterize the effects of IP6 on the Jaagsiekte Sheep Retrovirus (JSRV) Assembly” as part of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) opportunity at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. to investigate.

In addition to presenting his findings at the Ohio Wesleyan’s recent Summer Science Research Symposium, Steed also gave poster presentations at these professional conferences and received the following recognitions:

• Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minorized Students (ABRCMS) in November in Anaheim, California. A first-generation college student, Steed received the 2022 ABRCMS Presentation Award for the caliber of his presentation.
• Ohio Branch Board for the American Society of Microbiology (OBASM) in September at Ohio State University. For this presentation, Steed received the 2022 Allen A. Ichida Award for Undergraduate Research Excellence.
• Leadership Alliance National Symposium (LANS) in July in Hartford, Connecticut.

What I researched

“In layman’s terms, Jaagsiekte Sheep Retrovirus (JSRV) is a virus known to cause lung cancer in sheep. The genetic composition of JSRV is similar to that of other viruses such as HIV, so it was assumed that the structure of JSRV would be related as well.

“In addition, it was found that a chemical naturally produced in cells called inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) is required for the formation of HIV structure and contributes to other diseases. However, little is known about the effect of IP6 on JSRV. To study these questions about JSRV, we used microscopy and biochemical laboratory techniques in hopes of identifying viral targets for treatment.”

my favorite moments

“My favorite moment at Cornell was exploring Ithaca. Ithaca is a very beautiful city with lots of waterfalls and restaurants and I got to explore it all with a great group of people I had the pleasure of working with over the summer.

“I also enjoyed learning what it was like to work as a PhD student. During the REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) program, I essentially acted as a fully independent PhD student, which gave me the opportunity to see what it’s like to work at one of the leading institutions in biochemical research.

“My favorite moment at ABRCMS was getting the opportunity to hear from me dr Mae Jemison to hear about and from her experience as the first black woman in space dr Caroline Bertozzithe recent recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.”

mentoring support

“I would not have been able to get my internship at Cornell without the help of Danielle Bailey from Career Connection for help with the application process and for supervising dr Laura Tuhela Reuning (life sciences) and dr Kayce Tomcho (Chemistry).

In addition, I have also received great mentorship from two OWU alumni: dr Max Schroeder (Class of 2009) as well dr Claire Hoptay (Class of 2009). All of my mentors have helped me navigate the internship process and figure out what career path I would most like to pursue.”

Why I chose Ohio Wesleyan

“I chose Ohio Wesleyan because I have strong relationships with my professors and the opportunity to get hands-on in the lab.”

My plans after graduation

“I have applied for this application cycle for Microbiology/Biochemistry Ph.D. Applied. Programs at Emory University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Pittsburgh, University of North Carolina at Chapel-Hill and Cornell University. Applying to these schools was a challenging task and I am very grateful to all my mentors from OWU who helped me throughout the process. I would definitely not be where I am today without their constant support.”

Five days after four University of Idaho students were found stabbed to death in their off-campus home, a deep sense of concern and sadness grips the community as authorities work to identify a suspect.

The university’s often-crowded parking lots had many empty spaces Thursday after scores of students decided to return home or leave the area after the quadruple murder shocked the university city of Moscow, Idaho, last weekend.

“Everyone just went home because they’re scared. … It’s definitely unsettled on campus right now,” student Nathan Tinno told CNN.

Tinno, who said the community is trying to approach the tragedy with sympathy, added that the fact that no malefactor was caught in the case has increased the sense of fear on campus.

Four college students – Ethan Chapin, 20; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21 – were found stabbed to death Sunday at their shared home off campus near the university.

The victims were found on the second and third floors of the home, Idaho State Police Communications Director Aaron Snell told CNN on Friday.

Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt told CNN she saw “a lot of blood on the wall” when she arrived at the scene. She confirmed that there were multiple stab wounds on each body – likely from the same weapon – but did not disclose how many wounds were located or where most were.

Puncture wounds on the hands of at least one victim appear to be defensive wounds, according to Mabbutt. She said there were no signs of sexual assault on the bodies during the autopsies.

Two other roommates were in the home at the time of death — were not injured or held hostage, according to university president Scott Green.

Investigators are speaking to the two surviving housemates, Snell told ABC.

“They may be witnesses, they may be victims,” ​​Snell said in an interview with ABC’s Kayna Whitworth. “They may be the key to this whole thing.”

Police said they had no suspects. Snell said no one “was included or excluded as a person of interest and/or suspect.”

Investigators hope the housemates will help them “figure out what happened and why.”

“That’s her story to tell,” he said.

Mabbutt said the cause of death was manslaughter. The autopsies have been completed and the results will be released when they become available, a worker from Spokane County’s Medical Examiner’s Office told CNN.

The killings, which took place just over a week before Thanksgiving, have stirred up shattering feelings among students as authorities investigate leads to identify a suspect or locate a murder weapon.

“It’s so dark. It’s like a dark cloud over everything,” said Ava Driftmeyer. “We’re going as fast as we can.”

Driftmeyer, who said she lives near where the four students were killed, described how the situation was difficult to process, both mentally and emotionally.

“I just don’t even think it’s that far yet. … Do you know how crazy that is? And the fact that there are no answers is the worst feeling ever,” she said.

Police said Wednesday they could not definitively determine the public posed no risk, retracting an earlier statement that the attacks were targeted.

“We cannot say that there is no threat to the community,” Moscow Police Department chief James Fry said during a news conference on Wednesday. “And as we’ve said before, please stay alert, report suspicious activity and be aware of your surroundings at all times.”

The university also reminded students that psychological support is available to them.

“We’re all still working through our grief and a range of emotions. Add to this the frustration and concern that no one has been arrested for these crimes,” Green said in a statement.

“Students, you are encouraged to do what is right for you. Whether you go home early or stay in class, you have our support,” Green added.

With many details remaining unclear, one of the victim’s parents revealed his child’s struggle with the attacker.

Xana Kernodle’s father said he spoke to his daughter at midnight on Sunday, just hours before she was attacked and killed. Citing an autopsy, he said she fought off her attacker to the end.

“Bruises, ripped open by the knife. She’s a tough kid,” Jeffrey Kernodle told CNN affiliate KPHO/KTVK in Avondale, Arizona.

Kernodle said Xana has kept in regular contact with her family. “I think the last time we heard from her was around midnight and she was fine,” he told the channel, adding that he doesn’t understand why his daughter and her roommates were killed in their own home.

“They just hung out at home. Xana was only home with her boyfriend,” he said.

Just hours before the four students were killed, Goncalves had posted a photo of the group with the caption “a happy girl surrounded by these people every day” and added a heart emoji.

The scant information available on the case frustrates those closest to the victims and the campus community. However, video showing two of the victims has helped police get a clearer picture of the hours leading up to the killings.

In a live stream on Twitch from a food truck called Grub Truckers, Mogen and Goncalves were last seen alive ordering $10 worth of carbonara around 1:40 a.m. local time in Moscow on Sunday. While they waited about 10 minutes for their food, they chatted to each other and other people standing by the truck.

Joseph Woodall, who manages the food truck, told CNN the two students did not appear to be in any distress or danger.

Chapin and Kernodle were at a party on campus Saturday night, Fry said. All four students returned home after 1:45 a.m. Sunday morning, Fry added.

Later Sunday morning, the four were killed at their home, authorities said. Police responded to the residence after receiving an 911 call around noon reporting someone was unconscious.

When the police arrived at the house, they entered a grisly, bloody crime scene.

“It was a pretty traumatic scene to find four dead college students in a dorm,” coroner Mabbutt told CNN affiliate KXLY earlier this week.

All four were pronounced dead at midday and police have not revealed who made the call to 911.

“They were smart, they were vigilant, they were careful and it all happened anyway,” Goncalves’ older sister Alivea said in a statement on behalf of the family to the Idaho Statesman.

“No one is in custody and that means no one is safe. Yes, we are all heartbroken. Yes, we grab all. But stronger than all these feelings is anger. we are angry You should be angry.”

A shooting at the University of Virginia late Sunday night killed three football players and injured two others, campus police and University President Jim Ryan confirmed early Monday.

Police said suspect Chris Darnell Jones was arrested Monday morning after a more than 12-hour manhunt involving multiple law enforcement agencies. according to UVA emergency management.

The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. ET on a charter bus full of students returning from a field trip to see a play, the university president said in a news conference.

Police say the three victims, all juniors and members of the UVA football team, were found dead at the scene: Devin Chandler, a wide receiver from Virginia Beach, Virginia; Lavel Davis, a wide receiver from Dorchester, SC; and D’Sean Perry, a linebacker from Miami, Fla.

University officials have not yet released the names of two other victims who are being treated for injuries; one is in critical condition.

Students and staff were sheltered in place for approximately 12 hours

“This is an unimaginably sad day for our community,” Ryan said. “The entire university community is in mourning this morning. My heart is broken for the victims and their families and everyone who knew and loved them.”

Classes and extracurricular activities were canceled on Monday and Public transportation to the campus has been discontinued. Public schools in surrounding Albemarle County were also closed for the day.

A campus-wide shelter-in-place order was lifted shortly after 10:30 a.m. ET after an extensive search of the grounds.

Jones was arrested “without incident” in a suburb of Richmond, Virginia, about 76 miles southeast of the university. This is according to a press release from the local police station.

UVA Police Chief Tim Longo said Jones faces three counts of second-degree murder and three counts of using a handgun to commit a felony.

Jones, who is a student at the university, was listed as a football player on the university’s athletics website in 2018 but did not appear in any games.

Longo said Jones had previously come to the attention of campus police because he was involved in a bullying incident.

Police closed the investigation after witnesses refused to cooperate, Longo said, but found Jones broke a concealed weapons rule outside the city of Charlottesville in February 2021.

Tributes for Chandler, Davis and Perry poured out on social media on Monday. UVA football players and coaches described shock, outrage and heartbreak as they shared pictures and stories of the men.

Jack Hamilton, a UVA professor who said Chandler and Davis were both his students, described the former as “an incredibly nice person, always a big smile, very sociable and fun. One of those people you just can’t like.”

Davis did everything he could to make friends with non-athletes and was well liked by many of his fellow students, Hamilton wrote.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre issued a statement expressing President Biden’s “deepest condolences” to the “countless families, friends and neighbors who are mourning the dead and injured in this senseless shooting.”

“We must enact an assault weapons ban to remove weapons of war from America’s streets,” Pierre wrote in reference to a bill that passed this July in the House of Representatives but appears to have no chance of overcoming a filibuster in the Senate.

UVA officials had not yet released information about the type of gun used in Sunday’s shooting.

UVA is at least the second university to report student deaths this weekend

On Sunday, police in Moscow, Idaho, said four University of Idaho students were found dead in a home near campus. Police investigating the incident have described the deaths as a suspected homicide.

“The Moscow police extend our heartfelt condolences to family members, friends and the Moscow community,” the police said in a statement.

EUGENE, Arch. — Oregon legend Sabrina Ionescu becomes head women’s basketball coach Kelly Graves‘ Support staff in a part-time role as director of sports culture, the ninth-year head coach announced on Friday.

In her role, Ionescu will help develop student athletes and cultivate Graves’ five pillars of Oregon women’s basketball: passion, integrity, unity, gratitude and servanthood. In addition, she will be a resource and example for current, former and future Ducks.

“I couldn’t think of a better person for this position than Sabrina,” Graves said. “Sabrina exemplifies what it means to be an Oregon Duck and represents everything our program is about. Even in a part-time position, she will have the ability to make an immediate impact on our student athletes and our program as a whole. She is truly a basketball icon who will be able to bond and develop our players off the court.”

“As a kid growing up around football, my family helped me develop my passion for basketball and all the values ​​that it rewards,” Ionescu said. “When I arrived in Oregon, I joined a new family that shared the same values ​​and helped me grow even more as a player and as a person. A part of my heart stays with Eugene, and I look forward to maintaining the same family atmosphere.” Future Ducks in Oregon’s women’s basketball program.”

In four years under Graves, Ionescu left a lasting legacy. A two-time Wade and Wooden Trophy winner, Ionescu is the all-time NCAA leader — female or male — with 26 career triple-doubles and the only player in NCAA history with at least 2,000 career points, 1,000 career rebounds and 1,000 career assists .

She became the first No. 1 overall pick in program history after being selected by the New York Liberty in the 2020 WNBA draft. Ionescu earned her first WNBA All-Star appearance in 2022 and helped lead the Liberty to a playoff spot on their way to All-WNBA Second Team designation.

Ionescu earned her bachelor’s degree in general social sciences with a law minor just 36 months after arriving on the University of Oregon campus.

A recently published study in nutrition evaluated the consumption patterns of university students’ energy drinks (EDs).

EDs are promoted to improve focus, energy, metabolism, athletic performance and to stimulate mental activity. Caffeine is the main ingredient in EDs at 50-550mg per can or bottle. EDs contain more caffeine than traditional caffeinated drinks and may have more active ingredients than other soft drinks.

Acute caffeine consumption increases arterial blood pressure and decreases insulin sensitivity. Chronic caffeine consumption is associated with disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, kidneys and central nervous system. Athletes can use caffeinated supplements after caffeine was removed from the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of banned substances.

About the study

In the present systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers assessed ED use among university students. The PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases were searched for articles with the search terms “energy drink”, “consumption” and “university/college/undergraduate students”. Studies were eligible if they reported data on ED use among college students regardless of age and gender.

Studies that included subjects other than university students were excluded. Only observational studies were included and commentaries, editorials, case studies, meta-analyses, reviews, clinical studies, and experimental studies were excluded. Five authors independently reviewed study titles and abstracts.

The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess quality, and each study was assigned a rating of good, fair, or poor quality. The prevalence of ED use and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were extracted. The heterogeneity of the studies was assessed with the I² Statistics and Cochran’s Q-Test.

Publication bias was estimated using the Egger test and the funnel chart. Subgroup and meta-regression analyzes were performed to identify the source of the expected heterogeneity in meta-analyses. For subgroup and meta-regression analysis, World Health Organization (WHO) regions, sample size, age, gender, year of publication, and methodological quality of the studies were considered.

Results

Of the 502 identified articles from the three databases, 317 were retained for subsequent analysis after deduplication. Title and abstract screening removed 183 studies, leaving 134 articles for full-text analysis. Sixty-one articles were removed based on exclusion criteria. Finally, 71 studies were included in the analysis. These studies were conducted in several countries and published between 2007 and 2021.

Twenty-seven studies were from the United States (USA), eight from Saudi Arabia, six from Turkey and five from Italy. 25 studies were published in journals without an impact factor. All studies included men and women aged 16 to 53; most had large sample sizes and high ethnic variation. The prevalence of ED use among subjects varied between 9% and 90% in the selected studies.

The prevalence of ED use was higher than 86% in studies from South America, although only three studies analyzed it. Twenty-one studies assessed the prevalence of ED use by gender, and 18 reported higher use of ED among men. Thirty studies examined the adverse effects of taking ED; Participants in more than 20 studies mainly reported sleep disturbances and cardiac dysfunction.

Health-related behaviors associated with the use of EDs were analyzed in 35 studies. Alcohol use or abuse, smoking, and physical activity were commonly reported behaviors associated with ED use. Most studies (37) found that ED use was for learning and testing. In some studies, the reasons (for using ED) were to stay alert or awake and to improve physical activity or sport.

Overall, the prevalence of ED use among university students was estimated at 42.9%, with significant inter-study heterogeneity. Furthermore, the overall prevalence of ED use was not different in sensitivity analyses. The meta-regression analysis revealed that the prevalence of ED use remained independent of the proportion of women, mean age, or methodological quality.

Also, ED consumption decreased with increasing sample size. Subgroup analysis by WHO region showed the highest prevalence of ED use in the Southeast Asia region at 62%, followed by the European region (50%), the Eastern Mediterranean region (49%), the Americas region (42%) and the African region (58%).

Conclusions

The prevalence of ED use showed significant differences between studies. Differences in estimates of ED use were associated with geographic location and sample size, regardless of age, gender, and methodological quality.

In summary, college students, especially males, consume EDs for improved academic performance and athletic or physical activity. Nevertheless, this can lead to health problems, especially in relation to sleep and the nervous or cardiovascular system.

MORAGA, Calif. – The LMU men’s soccer team lost 1-0 to Saint Mary’s on Saturday afternoon in Moraga, Calif.

The Gaels scored in the third minute of play and held on in the final minutes, withstanding a barrage of Lions shots to eke out the win.

The first half was mostly forgotten, but the lions came alive in the second half.

The Lions have one game left this season, playing Gonzaga at home on Saturday, November 12. Game starts at 7pm PT.

The nearly six-month search for Gannon University‘s new president is over when they announce the university’s eighth president.

dr Walter Ivanenko Jr. will succeed Dr. Keith Taylor to become president of Gannon University. As a first-generation college student, he never thought that one day he would get this opportunity.

“A university education has presented me with this opportunity, and I want to ensure that we offer a similar opportunity to all of our current and future students who come to Gannon,” said Dr. Walter Ivanenko Jr., President-elect of Gannon University.

Looking ahead, Dr. Ivanenko hopes to continue working on the university’s strategic plan.

dr Ivanenko will continue in his role as Provost and Vice President for Student Experience until Dr. Taylor on June 30, 2023. dr Taylor advises Dr. Ivanenko to remember the mission of the university.

“You have to understand the mission of the university and work towards it. We are not here for ourselves, we are not here because we are the leader. We are here to ensure that the university and its mission are fulfilled,” said Dr. Keith Taylor, President of Gannon University.

dr Taylor now said the announcement had been made, a nationwide search to find Dr. Ivanenko’s position will begin.

Despite the loss, the Golden Gophers (8-8-3, 4-4-2) beat the Spartans (15-1-3, 9-0-1 Big Ten) 6-0 (3-0 SOG) in the first game . half. Minnesota was led forward by graduates McKenna Busmanwho had four shots, and Amelie Brownthe two tabulated.

“McKenna (Buisman) scored a great goal, she’s very good at scoring highlight reel goals,” said the head coach Erin Chastain. “It was fun to watch the playoff game; for them to perform at this moment. We were disciplined in the first half and we knew they were going to come at us in the second half… I think the next step in our growth is understanding what we can do and bring that no matter the score. The future of our program is bright, I’m really excited about the core that we have and that we are building with this program. We are very grateful for the young women who are leaving our program and leaving their mark.”

A quick goal four minutes into the first half would give Minnesota the upper hand it needed to set the tone of the game. Sophia Bomann dribbled across the field with no problems and found Buisman open at the top of the 18-yard box. The grad forward found her left foot to give Minnesota a 1-0 lead.

The Spartans equalized in the 55th minute. Striker Jordyn Wickes found herself in the six-yard box after a corner kick. Wickes nudged the ball past Minnesota’s backline for a 1-1 tie.

Wickes would end the game victorious with 23 minutes remaining thanks to a double assist from Celia Gaynor and Ruby Diodati.

The Gophers fought to the end and found several opportunities off set pieces but couldn’t finish.

With the loss, Minnesota finishes the season eighth in the Big Ten and their first Big Ten tournament spot since 2018.

British universities lag behind their US and Canadian counterparts in a global sustainability ranking, which ranks them according to their environmental footprint and contribution to society, as student climate campaigners warn nearly half are falling short of their emissions targets.

The ranking places the University of California, Berkeley at number 1 followed by two Canadian institutions, the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia, with Edinburgh University being the UK’s best performing institution in fourth place due to its strong sustainability research.

The UK’s second-highest university was Glasgow in 13th place, which according to ranking compiler QS has done well on equality thanks to a large number of female leaders and a transparent approach to governance.

Next is Oxford in 16th place, Newcastle in 18th and Cambridge claiming 19th place.

Andrew MacFarlane, the QS rankings manager, said the UK had done “extraordinarily well”, with the second-highest proportion of institutions in the top 100 after the US.

“On average, [UK universities] demonstrate good gender diversity ratios, both at staff and student levels, published commitments on diversity and tolerance, and climate action and governance, an impressive research focus that speaks to many of the UN’s SDGs, and evidence of transparent governance,” he said.

But Quinn Runkle, education director at Students Organizing for Sustainability, warned that nearly half of UK universities are not on track to meet carbon emissions targets and two-fifths have yet to commit to moving away from fossil fuels .

“While it is positive to see UK universities doing well overall, I think this reflects how far the sector has to go. Getting to the top doesn’t necessarily mean institutions are doing everything that needs to be done, it’s simply doing more than others,” she said.

She added that sustainability rankings could be a useful tool to drive change and she hoped such measures would be included in the overall ranking.

“Globally, only 3% of people go to university, but graduates fill 80% of leadership positions, so universities have an enormous duty to make sure sustainability decision-makers are right,” Runkle said.

Fiona Goodwin, executive director of the Alliance for Sustainability Leadership in Education, said “sustainability is a growing factor in choosing where students apply,” adding that she hopes the Department of Education’s new sustainability and climate strategy will provide the leadership and to provide the impetus for this, universities would do more.

QS’s survey of 3,000 students found that 82% of applicants researched their prospective institution’s sustainability work, while 87% considered its track record of equality and diversity. Almost three-quarters (73%) of students from Western Europe named the climate catastrophe as the biggest problem for young people.

The ranking is based on two categories: environmental impacts, which includes institutional sustainability and climate crisis teaching and research, and social impacts, which measure the equality and diversity of the institution, and how social justice is reflected in curricula and research.

Edinburgh’s high ranking is the result of its research aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, a good record on diversity, a strong environmental sciences department – including a climate institute and courses such as Msc Climate Change – and many partnerships with Universities from the Global South.

Planned initiatives include a carbon sequestration program that will capture more than 1 million tons of CO₂abandoning fossil fuels completely, giving scholarships to people from the areas hardest hit by the climate crisis to explore ways to combat its impact and supporting the Scottish capital’s net-zero target.

Dave Gorman, Director of Social Responsibility and Sustainability at Edinburgh University, said the institution wants to “increase our ambition year on year”, adding that it hopes to develop this further over the next decade by increasing its focus on sustainability expanding social responsibility, biodiversity, resources and circular economy.
