Reasons for rarity? using a common garden approach to investigate the response of rare Pityopsis ruthii (Ruth’s golden aster) to potential habitat change
We investigated the response of Pityopsis ruthii, a rare herb endemic to the Ocoee and Hiwasee Rivers, to light availability by comparing growth, reproduction, and physiology in fully sunlit or shaded plots
Experimental decomposition of modern algae to understand ancient patterns in microbial preservation
Early life on Earth is recorded as various microbial morphologies in sedimentary rocks. Here, we aim to identify potential differential preservation of multiple analogous microbial taxa during decay based on the presence or absence of a sheath
The effect of biosols on sun and sky levels
The amount of biological materials, such as bacteria, spores, and plant fragments, in the air affect the sun and sky levels. A slide was place outside each day for a set amount of time and then examined after the sun and sky levels were recorded

WEW was developed as an intergenerational faith-based wellness program aimed at positively affecting social and emotional wellness in participants, specifically in younger women through small-group and one-on-one interaction
Complex folding patterns of Apoa1 in ionic solution
Apoa1 is a lipoprotein that removes cholesterol from the blood. Research shows, Apoa1 has many conformations depending on the amount of NaCl in its solution. This research will see if KCl, allows for the same folded and stable conformations as NaCl
Collective perception and the flow of outward remittances
I use Google Trends data to estimate the flow of remittances from the United States to Mexico from 2004 to 2019; I run VAR models on the two variables. I find that the search data does in fact impact the flow of remittances for the given period
Flora, fauna, and functional neurology
The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of various interactions (i.e. animal, plant) within a natural setting on the cognitive and physiological state of nature center visitors using EEG technology
