Kristin Boynton - “A Chapter Reading from A Reason to Kill ” (session 19) This presentation will be a chapter reading from A Reason to Kill , a locked-room drama about five teenagers from Grayson High School in Georgia who are kidnapped and placed in an underground room with no visible way of escape except for an old wooden ladder that is spiked in nails. They learn from their captor that they are all there for a reason and each person is given a symbol representing the crime or horrible secret that they have hidden. One by one they must confess their secrets, exposing the worst parts of themselves, only to find out at the end that they must choose one of the people in the room to kill so that the rest of them can live.

This is a literary analysis of the novel and the ways that both men, consciously and unconsciously, show their love for each other in very masculine ways. The idea of masculine love is a theme throughout the entire novel, but the use of the theme between two men who become each other’s love interest is unique to their story. Colton Campbell - “Carbon Fiber Through History” (session 2) Carbon fiber has been a staple in human history since its creation in 1860 by Sir Joseph Swan to help light an incandescent light bulb. This however was not the carbon fiber we know nowadays, the fiber we know nowadays was first synthesized in 1958 and was created by heating rayon until carbonization began. Due to the lightweight nature and durability of carbon fiber we can see it being used every day in everything from golf clubs to bulletproof vests, to even airplanes. I believe that it can be very useful and interesting to look at a brief history of carbon fiber and its connections in human society as well as the history of it itself. Elizabeth Canning - “Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)” (poster session) Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a hard to treat staph infection. The MRSA superbug is the result of decades of unnecessary antibiotic use, for viral infections that do not respond to antibiotics. According to CDC data around 5% of the population carries around the MRSA bacteria. MRSA can spread through hospitals, invasive medical procedures, and long-term care facilities. Infections caused by the bacteria can affect the bloodstream, lungs, heart, bones, and joints. To prevent the spread of MRSA, hospital rooms and equipment need to be properly cleaned and sterilized, workers should be washing their hands, and wearing protective gear.
