The Cleanup of Murray Central Park
The ongoing project to clean up Murray Central Park in Murray, Kentucky, is a solo initiative aimed at addressing the issue of litter and debris accumulation in the park. The project involves the strategic placement of new trash cans in areas of the park that are known to have high levels of trash accumulation, with the goal of improving the overall cleanliness and appearance of the park. While the project is still in progress, it is hoped that it will be a collaborative effort with the park management. However, it is uncertain whether the park management will support the initiative. Nevertheless, the project will continue to strive towards creating a cleaner and more enjoyable environment for park visitors, promoting sustainability and community involvement in the process. Despite the challenges and uncertainties, I am committed to pushing forward with this initiative. I believe that this project serves as an example of the power of individual efforts in promoting sustainability and preserving the natural beauty of our local environments
Influence of hosts on the ecology of arboviral transmission: Potential mechanisms influencing dengue, Murray Valley encephalitis, and Ross River virus in Australia
Ecological interactions are fundamental to the transmission of infectious disease. Arboviruses are particularly elegant examples, where rich arrays of mechanisms influence transmission between vectors and hosts. Research on host contributions to the ecology of arboviral diseases has been undertaken within multiple subdisciplines, but significant gaps in knowledge remain and multidisciplinary approaches are needed. Through our multidisciplinary review of the literature we have identified five broad areas where hosts may influence the ecology of arboviral transmission: host immunity; cross-protective immunity and antibody-dependent enhancement; host abundance; host diversity; and pathogen spillover and dispersal. Herein we discuss the known and theoretical roles of hosts within these topics and then apply this knowledge to three epidemiologically important mosquito-borne arboviruses that occur in Australia: dengue virus (DENV), Murray Valley encephalitis virus (MVEV), and Ross River virus (RRV). We argue that the underlying mechanisms by which hosts influence arboviral activity are numerous and attempts to delineate these mechanisms further are needed. Investigations that focus on hosts of vector-borne diseases are likely to be rewarding, particularly where the ecology of vectors is relatively well understood. From an applied perspective, enhanced knowledge of host influences upon vector-borne disease transmission is likely to enable better management of disease burden. Finally, we suggest a framework that may be useful to identify and determine host contributions to the ecology of arboviruses

Composing a Music Therapy Degree
My presentation outlines the course of my efforts to find what it would take to start a music therapy degree program at Murray State University. Music therapy is a rapidly expanding and vital profession, so the need for board-certified, thoroughly educated music therapists is increasing. I began by researching the basics of music therapy; then, I cross analyzed ten music therapy degree programs in order to pinpoint what Murray State University needs in order to offer an undergraduate music therapy degree. I am proposing a Bachelor of Science in Music Therapy degree program, and I am giving a series of presentations to various constituencies in order to ascertain the be best way to get this music therapy offered at Murray State University

Warsaw and St. Louis Limestone Fossils Near Murray Kentucky
About 380 to 320 million years ago, the entire state of Kentucky was submerged under water in the period known as the Mississippian. During this time, many creatures evolved and lived in the shallow ocean that lay across the state. These creatures include extinct arthropods called trilobites, mollusk-like creatures known as brachiopods, lily-like seastar relatives known as crinoids, and many others that were fossilized during this period. The fossil record of Kentucky contains many of these creatures, but the fossil record of western Kentucky has been studied less than other areas of the state. For this research project, I am using acetate peels to identify fossils within limestone samples I have collected. I collected rock samples from two limestone outcrops of the Warsaw and St. Louis limestone near Murray, which contain a large amount of fossils from when Kentucky was a shallow sea. The Warsaw Limestone is a coarse-grained limestone that formed in the middle Mississippian Period (about 350 million years ago), and the St. Louis Limestone is a fine-grained limestone that formed in the late Mississippian Period (about 320 million years ago). To make acetate peels, the limestone samples have to be cut and polished, then a thin piece of acetate is laid on the polished face, which is etched onto the peel with acid. The peels can then be examined under a microscope to identify the fossils. I will continue to work on this project through the end of the semester, and I will compile my findings into a final report. I hope that in doing so, future researchers and students can use that document as a possible reference on the region\u27s fossil history
