Keylaney Gutierrez & Kloee Mills - “Chemical Structure Composition Reactions of Sunscreen” (session 18) The following presentation goes over the chemical structure composition reactions of sunscreen. Chemicals like titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, oxybenzone, and octinoxate are key ingredients in sunscreen. Some studies have discovered that titanium dioxide and zinc oxide oxidation can produce highly reactive radicals and oxygen species under UV light exposure. These reactive radicals and oxygen species are known to be harmful to cells. Which can further damage DNA plasmids and human skin cells. In addition, oxybenzone and octinoxate can affect the human body by hormone-disrupting effects. As well as damage to coral reefs and marine ecosystems. This being said, the following presentation compares multiple syntheses to come up with the best modification to make the ingredients in sunscreen less harmful to humans and the environment. Furthermore, the principles taught in the organic chemistry class will be applied throughout this presentation. Kazuki Hashimoto - see Kinami Alyssa Hardwick - “Classroom Assessment” (poster session) Classroom assessment is super important for seeing how well students are learning and helping teachers decide what to teach next. This abstract talks about different ways teachers test students and how it affects how much they learn and get involved. It also gives tips on how teachers can use assessments well in different kinds of classrooms to help students do better and feel supported in their learning. Rich Hart - “I Need my ESA” (poster session) This project is about the usefulness of animals to help people who either do not do well in a public setting without their animal or have trouble being alone for extended periods of time. While ESA’s are not service animals they are not pets either under law and can be a wide range of animals from hamsters to dogs. I will be looking into the different types of animals used as ESA’s and which mental health disorder has a common use for that animal. Dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, and miniature horses are the most common and what I will be focusing on. Kenneth Hartline & Alexis Duenas - “The Chemistry Behind Fentanyl” (session 7) A brief overview of the infamous drug fentanyl including: organic structure of the drug, synthesis, effects on the human body. Why fentanyl is so dangerous and potential solutions to combat the staggering number of fentanyl overdoses. Abby Hebert - “Benefits of Early Exposure to Disabilities” (session 6) Disabled children spend their childhood stressed and anxiously learning how to interact, socialize, and cooperate with neurotypical and/or non-disabled children in social and educational settings. For the most part, this is due to the fact that many children are not exposed to these children
in their day-to-day lives, so those children first starting school are not aware that there will be students with disabilities, or the concept of disabilities at all, mental or physical. Although it may be a difficult and sensitive topic for parents to explore with their young children, it is a discussion that would benefit everyone. Drawing on my exposure and awareness of disabilities at a young age, the question brought forth is in addition to teaching children with disabilities to adapt, why not teach unaware neurotypical children to welcome them, too? Chané Higgo - “Formula 1 Brandalism” (Art Showcase) For this project I have chosen to focus on Formula 1’s “We Race As One” campaign that they had during the 2020 and 2021 Formula 1 seasons. I will discuss the importance of this campaign in those years and how Formula 1 has since shy away from that message. I was tasked to create my own advertisement/ poster for the campaign and another advertisement/ poster where I ‘expose’ the dark side of Formula 1. For the brandalism part I decided to focus my exposure of Formula 1 on the inclusivity of women in motorsport and used F1 Academy, a subdivision of Formula 1, to convey my message. Raul Hinojosa Mesa - “Patellar Tendonitis Injury” (session 4) The research consisted of a scientific approach to the tendinopathy injury in the patellar tendon of the knee of a soccer athlete. The details of the injury will be explained. Example methods to follow for the treatment of this injury will be reported. John Hoffman, Javontae Rosser, & Randy Wright III - “Valley Sports” (session 18) We are three interns that are helping with all Missouri Valley sports. Getting to know what it takes to be an athletic director. Starting from the ground up. We will be able to tell you all about what it takes to have a successful game day behind the scenes Shelby Holliday - “Volunteer Program Project Proposal” (session 15) With nurse-to-patient ratios higher than in the past, care team members do not have time to socialize with all of their lonely patients. These elderly patients can benefit from even a few hours of time with someone who will sit and listen to them talk about their life. This program proposal aims to reduce patients’ feelings of loneliness and sadness by providing company during the hospital stay. A volunteer program for high school and college students who could earn service hours in exchange for providing socialization for elderly patients could benefit both parties. Rodrecus Holmes - “Track and Field” (poster session) I will present a project on the sport of track and field
