Brandy Haynes - “Continuous Glucose Monitoring” (session 14) Controlling diabetes can be a difficult task for many people that suffer from this condition. The traditional finger sticks for glucose levels can be painful, causing non-compliance with daily monitoring. Newer continuous blood glucose monitors are an option to help diabetics maintain ideal glucose levels. I have developed a pamphlet to educate diabetics on the use of continuous blood glucose monitoring systems to potentially improve their overall HgbA1C. This pamphlet reviews education, use, and reliability of continuous glucose monitoring for diabetic patients. Tori Heglin (session 9) - see Baker Abbey Herbert - “Why Do Women Commit Crime?” (poster session) My research study will be focusing on the most common perceptions of female offenders in the criminal justice system. Until the late twentieth century, the majority of research surrounding offenders was written about men, by men. Although new theories and research have been explained in recent years, many people still perceive women with traditional and outdated opinions. Because the role of women has changed over time, the perception of women should change over time, too. The unversed view of the majority of society is that women are either incapable of violence and criminal behavior, due to biology, or only use violence and commit crimes in an emotional response. Do we, as a society, judge female offenders fairly, or do we make stereotypical assumptions because of their sex?

Incels are not a clearly defined, organized group, but rather a sprawling community of men across the internet who seek retribution for a society that is withholding sex from them. In less than a decade- attacks inspired by the incel movement have left dozens dead. This work aims to examine the causes, effects, and solutions to the rise of the incel movement, because we can no longer allow the spread of toxic incel culture to go unchecked. Sidni Hunter - “The Kantian Dilemma- How A Hierarchy of Rationality Limits Understandings of Morality” (session 4) A fundamental principle of ethics is the idea of moral obligations and establishing who we are obligated to. Foundational philosopher, Immanuel Kant, argues that respect for persons is only possible where they possess a specific set of capacities. However, many contend that these views are exclusionary and problematic. This work aims to analyze Kant’s ideas, uncover challenges and limitations to them, and explore the work of philosophers Andrew Linzey and Eva Kittay for a more inclusive understanding of morality.
