Fungi Decomposition Rates in Relation to Growth Rate and Moisture Tolerance
Presentation Year: 2021
Researchers found that fungi that grow faster tend to be less resistant to changes in temperature and moisture. Exploring the relationship between a fungus’s growth rate and moisture tolerance, our team used a system of differential equations to model the decomposition rates of woody material by different fungi to understand how decomposition would be affected when the species are in competition.
Future Flights
Presentation Year: 2021
In hopes of increasing STEM students in colleges this project is geared towards high schoolers with the idea that since they are quite adept to todays technology they may be interested in drone technology, either flying, programing, or learning how drones help in the scientific community.
Germination and Survival in Knobcone Pine Seedlings in a Common Garden Experiment at Schatz Demonstration Tree Farm
Presentation Year: 2021
This study examines knobcone pine (Pinus attenuata) germination success from stratification to transplanting into a common garden at the Schatz Demonstration Tree Farm. Seeds were sown in containers in the greenhouse after three week of cold stratification and transplanted to garden beds a month later. Of 840 seeds sown, 538 were germinated (64%). 256 seedlings were outplanted and 192 of these survived (75%±15). The seedlings grew to an average height of 7.5 cm ± 2 cm. Our findings are part of a larger study to understand the water requirements for the survival of tree germinants in a Mediterranean climate.

Humboldt County Unmanned Aircraft Systems Youth Education Training Program
Presentation Year: 2021
This project is led by David Marshall and Tamara Barriquand with the help of HSU student facilitators. The project is a Native American youth outreach program designed to encourage STEM through the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), known as drones. This four week summer program guides high school students through a ground pilot school that will earn them a FAA UAS Pilot's License, while also providing presentations, tutorials and activities related to aviation, environmental and applied sciences, and GIS. One goal of the program is to help underrepresented communities earn a pilot's license that can introduce them to new career opportunities in a variety of fields.

RAMP Up Your Courage 2021
Presentation Year: 2021
RAMP Up Your Courage (RUYC) events were facilitated by peer mentors employed by the First-Year Retention through Academic Mentoring Program (FY-RAMP) and the Major Based Peer Mentoring - Retention through Academic Mentoring Program (MBPM-RAMP). It takes courage to explore academic identities. RUYC was intended to empower students to examine emerging academic identities by connecting them with the MBPM mentors of the same major. By leveraging existing relationships between FY-RAMP and the freshmen whom they serve, as well as partnering FY-RAMP with MBPM-RAMP for the presentations, a bridge was built between the two mentoring programs, benefitting both mentors and students they serve.

The Beautiful Body Project
Presentation Year: 2021
Eating disorders affect at least 9% of the world population (ANAD, 2020). About 28-74% of risk from eating disorders is through genetic heritability (ANAD, 2020). In the City of Whittier there is a lack of awareness and education on body positivity and eating disorders. The Beautiful Body Project will increase middle and high school student's awareness of eating disorders. It will also promote body positivity among these students. This program aims to provide resources for not only the students but also the community.
