Sequoia Ernst: Launching One’s Own Research
Hello! I’m Sequoia Ernst, I’m a senior majoring in Exercise Physiology; I’m especially interested in regulation of the cardiovascular system and plan to attend graduate school to continue studying it. I did an IDEA Grant last year with a group of two other undergraduates and had a great experience. While I enjoyed it, I wishedContinue reading “Sequoia Ernst: Launching One’s Own Research”
Lab Animal Care and Research Timeline Adaptation
I am absolutely thrilled to have started my summer project! So far, I have received the female rats for my research and acclimated them to regular handling and their new cages. For a week and a half, I collected baseline (pre-experiment) data, including the body weights and food intake of the animals. This step isContinue reading “Lab Animal Care and Research Timeline Adaptation”
Microdialysis and Rolling with the Punches
Background Hi everyone, our names are Connor, John, and Sequoia and we are one of the two group projects in this year’s IDEA Grant pool. Our project seeks to better understand one of the underlying biological causes of cardiovascular disease, the number one cause of death in the United States. A common theme among individualsContinue reading “Microdialysis and Rolling with the Punches”
