offers a powerful and efficient approach to treating and killing cancer cells. The new techniques for simultaneously collecting images and treatment for ovarian cancer advance the precision of nanomedicine for greatly improved therapeutic outcomes and demonstrate strong potential for advancing personalized nanomedicine-based theranostics. Madison Mills - see Riley Howell, “Athletes and Mental Health” (Poster Session I) Avery Mohr - “Efficacy of Proper Food Handling to Prevent Foodborne Botulism” (Poster Session I) Foodborne botulism is a result of improper food preservation techniques that allow the bacterial species known as Clostridium botulinum to thrive. The illness itself is caused by vegetative C. botulinum releasing botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), which, when ingested, can be lethal, even in small doses. If left untreated, this toxin progressively inhibits the body’s nerves, causing muscle weakness and paralysis that can eventually affect the lung muscles and cause respiratory failure. Instances of this disease have decreased over time as a result of safer food handling practices. This, along with better clinical recognition and treatment, including administration of a botulinum antitoxin, has lowered mortality rates significantly as well. As foodborne botulism is preventable, this presentation offers an understanding of C. botulinum’s pathogenicity, emphasizing the need for proper food handling to most effectively limit the potential of outbreaks.

This paper critically examines Beyoncé’s reclamation of country music through a lens of cultural ownership, genre politics, and racial identity. By blending traditional country instrumentation with elements of gospel, R&B, and hip-hop, Beyoncé exposes how genre categories have been shaped by exclusionary industry practices rather than authentic musical lineage. The album’s reception, marked by both celebration and discomfort, reveals how many white audiences continue to view country music as their cultural property, resisting its redefinition by Black artists. This analysis argues that Cowboy Carter not only reclaims a marginalized Black musical heritage but also destabilizes the very notion of fixed genre boundaries. Ultimately, the project asks: Who gets to define genre and who is allowed to belong within it? In doing so, Beyoncé transforms country music into a site of cultural reckoning and artistic liberation. Silas Morton - “Adapting Classrooms for Students with Dyslexia” (Poster Session III) This project is about dyslexia, a condition that affects the ease with which a person reads, writes, and spells. To adapt classrooms for children with dyslexia, the use of classroom FM systems is highly beneficial. These assistive listening devices
enhance acoustic clarity and attention, which helps reduce variability in auditory processing. This improvement is linked to better reading and awareness skills. Research shows that within one year of using FM systems have helped students consistently stay involved in lesson planning and be more responsive. My finding indicates that FM systems can be used to enhance students’ learning abilities that have dyslexia. Juan Esteban Moya Salcedo - “Poster of New Jersey” (Poster Session II) The scenario is that I am working for the New Jersey Tourism Board, and I am responsible for creating a poster that will bring readers to visit this state. I chose New Jersey as a fascinating state because it combines culture, nature, and entertainment in one place. It’s interesting to study since it offers beaches, cities, and history together. To gather information, I used travel websites, articles, virtual maps, and official tourism pages describing its top destinations and activities. The state has many attractions. Atlantic City is famous for its beaches, casinos, and boardwalk. Cape May stands out for its Victorian houses and charm. The Jersey Shore offers miles of beaches and lively summer fun. Lambertville attracts visitors with its art galleries and small-town feel. Holland Ridge Farms is ideal for flower lovers, especially during tulip season. Families can visit Sea Life Aquarium to see marine species from around the world. Sports fans can enjoy MetLife Stadium, home to the New York Giants and Jets, and one of the 2026 World Cup venues. New Jersey offers something for everyone—nature, culture, and excitement. This project highlights its main attractions and explains why it’s a great destination for travelers. Inigo Munoz Sainz - “Politicians: The Disease of the European Union” (Poster Session III) This paper speaks about how Alvise Perez, a MEP in the European Union, criticizes the politicians’ corruption, disinterest, unjustified salaries, and, in general, the actual situation of this Economic organization. Alvise Perez was elected as an MEP last June 2024, and since his election, he has kept his promises of informing and reporting to every Spanish citizen the actual situation of Europe. He denounces that MEPs have salaries that they don’t deserve, and that these salaries are paid with the taxes of every European citizen. He also denounces secret salaries and politicians who not only barely work, but don’t even attend the European Parliament meetings. Spain is a country in which people pay a lot of taxes, and when people do not see any results with that money that is going to the government, they start getting angry. In conclusion, the situation is untenable, and I would love to denounce in my SRS how some good politicians like Alvise Perez are showing the world the lamentable management of something as important as the European Union. Politicians should look more for society and less for themselves. Tru Naumovitz - “Disability Advocacy: Where Can We Go from Here?” (Session 4) Disability advocacy is a process that calls for fairness, easier access, and real belonging - using outreach, learning, plus understanding the difficulties that these individuals face daily. This project focuses on why speaking up matters in colleges, where, especially in rural communities, it is much harder to find disability access. Due to this, we’re launching a school-wide drive with posters that break down ADA rules in places where accessibility is not up to standard. We’ll check classrooms and dorms for barriers, show what’s missing through images, while
