My presentation consists of a few chapters from my memoir. My memoir is about coming to terms with being diagnosed with a rare sleeping disorder. My writing is an investigation of my memories to show how my condition affected me while I was growing up and how it currently affects me as a college student. I argue that it is important to not judge people at first glance because the people who did it to me did not realize that I was not being lazy on purpose, but rather I had an undiagnosed condition. I decided to write my senior thesis as my memoir to advocate for invisible disabilities, rare conditions, and specifically to raise awareness for idiopathic hypersomnia. Emmandarry David - Self Defense Scenario (Special Session 9:00-12) Linsey Day - “Sex Differences in Research and Diagnosis of Substance Abuse Disorder” (session 14) I plan to orally present a summarized version of a literature review paper I wrote for Psychopharmacology during the summer intersession period. I plan to aim the focus of my presentation on the sex differences portrayed in research resulting in explicit male bias, specifically regarding diagnosis of specific disorders. I will highlight how the imbalance of research is correlated to patterns of diagnosis by healthcare professionals, and how this frequent pattern effects the sex differences in seeking out treatment for substance abuse disorder specifically. I will draw attention to the stigmatization surrounding sexes and the detrimental results that this pattern has resulted in. I will note future directions that could be implicated to ease this problematic pattern. I will present the research I’ve collected in my literature review alongside a slide presentation. Abdoulaye Diallo - “How Cobalt will Impact Society in the Near Future” (session 17) Cobalt has an enormous impact on our lives, particularly on technology. Indeed, cobalt is often a neglected metal that has the symbol Co and atomic number 27. Around 70% of the world's cobalt mine production comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where human rights are not respected. As a result of such anarchic exploitation, climate change and the environment are affected. Globally, cobalt is used primarily in rechargeable battery electrodes. In addition, cobalt demand will increase as electric vehicles become more prevalent in the coming years, therefore the use of cobalt will double or triple on a global scale. Ali Dobbins - “Chiropractic Manipulation and Reflexology for Infantile Colic” (session 18) This project explores the benefits of alternative therapies for infants with colic. Not only does colic affect the infant, but it can deeply strain the mother and family of the infant. Pediatric chiropractor services and reflexology therapy can affect the disposition of the infant as noted by the statistically significant decrease in length and/or number of colicy episodes. An educational module was developed to instruct parents on the benefits of chiropractic and reflexology services to assist with infants suffering from colic.
