安妮·布朗
家乡:
圣路易斯
主要的:
社会学和心理学
教师导师:
Larry Irons
“希望桥的客户之间的社区健康工作经验”
布朗一直在评估管理层,员工和客户如何查看希望桥部门新实施的计划以协助未受调查的计划。具体来说,她正在探索基于现场客户的社区健康服务和整体护理的应用是否改善了客户的稳定性和生活质量。她一直在北圣路易斯市的维尔附近的希望日庇护所进行面对面,深入的采访。

玛雅·哈特
家乡:
圣路易斯
主要的:
营销/供应链管理
教师导师:
TrilceEncarnaciónandMATIAS ENZ
“食品和营养安全操作的比较性能”
Harter的研究研究了食品和营养安全供应链操作的不同运营特征。结果提供了有关减轻食物和营养不安全感的不同方法的有效性水平的洞察力。Harter在圣路易斯都会区进行了深入的访谈,以收集有关不同组织采用的供应链配置的数据。她分享了首席结论和政策影响。

欧文·欧雷顿(Owen Ireton)
家乡:
密苏里州沃伦顿
主要的:
生物学/预先医学
教师导师:
Aimee Dunlap
“蜜蜂(Apis Mellifera)和本地蜜蜂之间的竞争:城市社区花园的调查”
The goal of Ireton’s study has been to document interactions between native bees and European honeybees in urban community gardens to elucidate differences in the number of competitive interactions and the competitive behaviors used by bees in urban regions. Ireton filmed flowers in three community gardens in St. Louis – one that has four managed honey bee colonies and two that do not. He quantified known competitive behaviors for bees, including chasing, dive bombing, pollen robbing and attacks, and found significant differences in both the frequency and type of competitive interactions between bee species and across surveyed community gardens. The information gleaned will help improve understanding of the effects of introduced honeybee colonies in local landscapes.

卢卡斯·劳特(Lucas Lauter)
家乡:密苏里州阿诺德
主要的:生物学
教师导师:Aimee Dunlap
“花卉属性和同种异体对大黄蜂觅食记忆的影响”
Lauter has been training and testing three floral cues and a single social cue to see how the different types of cues affect bees’ learning and memory of rewarding flower types. He’s been rewarding bees for foraging on a specific floral or social cue while discouraging foraging of the control flower. The reward offered is in the form of a high percentage sugar solution while discouraging is done through water. The bees that drink the high percentage sugar solution should observe the cue associated with the reward and use that information to forage on flowers of the same type. Once a cue has been learned, Lauter removes the bees for a period of time and then tests them again to observe memory length and foraging efficiency. The research provides insight into bumble bee pollination behavior.

布里奇·穆斯(Bridget Muise)
家乡:密苏里州的奥尔弗隆
主要的:临床心理学
教师导师:Bettina Casad
“Effects of Threatening Education Environments on Minoritized Students in STEM”
MUISE随机分配了一群具有不同种族认同的女性,以威胁或安全学习条件,并检查了每个女性的影响。威胁性的智力环境是在第二人生主持的虚拟教室中与一位白人男性教授一起创建的,他在讲座中发表了贬低的评论。种族同质(全白)类;男性主导的教室和一个男性教授办公室,具有“怪异”和性主题的科学装饰。安全的虚拟学术环境包括一位白人男性教授,他对性别平等发表了评论。种族多元化的阶级;性别平衡的教室和一个中性装饰的男教授办公室。

Breara Wenzel
家乡:密苏里州芬顿
主要的:护理(BSN)
教师导师:April Sun,,,,金·沃纳(Kim Werner)
“提高临终关怀人员的文化能力:什么使它起作用?”
Ethnic disparities exist in end-of-life patient care that cause problems in areas such as satisfaction, communication and pain management. Interventions that can reduce these disparities need to be identified. Wenzel’s study examined the impact of cultural diversity and sensitivity training on health care professionals and its importance for decreasing disparities experienced by ethnic minorities in hospice. She looked at the characteristics of effective training programs for improving healthcare professionals’ cultural competency, in palliative and hospice care among ethnic minorities.
