<Title>Researcher of the Week: Talmo Pereira</Title>
<Tagline>Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <strong>How did you find your mentor for year research project?</strong><br>I looked at the faculty research profiles on the Department of Biological Sciences website and found my mentor's research description appealing, so I contacted him.<br><br><strong>How did you know this was the project you wanted to do?</strong><br>I took an interest in genomics and I felt that exploring scientific questions via computational methods would be a good fit for me as my schedule required more flexible lab hours and I had a strong background in computer programming.<br><br><strong>Is this your first independent research project? </strong><br>No, I had done research in the past at several other institutions.<br><br><strong>How much time do you put into it? Do you get course credit for this work?</strong><br>I put in from eight to 30 hours a week depending on the phase of the project. I receive credit through BIOL499.<br><br><strong>How did you hear about the Undergraduate Research Award (URA) program?</strong><br>I first heard about URAs at URCAD upon seeing so many of my peers that had been recipients and then sought out Ms. McGlynn to find out more about it.<br><br><strong>What academic background did you have before you applied for the URA?</strong><br>I had taken strong classes in biology, chemistry and computer science, as well as presented prior work from this lab at URCAD.<br><br><strong>Was the application difficult to do? How much did your mentor help you with the application?</strong><br>The application was quite straightforward and a good exercise in project planning. My mentor helped me develop a long-term plan and reviewed the language of the application.<br><br><strong>What has been the hardest part about your research? </strong><br>Learning about computational methods of hypothesis testing in contrast to the traditional methods employed in wet labs. I found it particularly challenging to understand the significance of a result in the context of the assumptions made in the theoretical framework of the computational models.<br><br><strong>What was the most unexpected thing?</strong><br>How easy it was to get started! Admittedly, it is a lot of work to learn the foundations, but with relative ease, one can begin answering biologically relevant questions with a minimal amount of effort and computational power.<br><br><strong>How does your research relate to your work in other classes?</strong><br>Certainly my genetics class more than anything else has been incredibly useful in understanding the background for my project, but in particular the mathematics and computer science courses have been invaluable in the implementation of the computational models.<br><br><strong>What else are you involved in on campus?</strong><br>I am a TA for the introductory biology course (BIOL141). I also write a science column for the Retriever Weekly and participate in the Undergraduate Admissions Ambassadors program. <br><br><strong>What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research? </strong><br>Meet with a lot of people! Ask your peers already involved with research, meet with your academic advisor, and then with the faculty in your department.<br><br><strong>What are your career goals?</strong><br>I hope to pursue a PhD in the area of neuroscience and/or genomics.<p><br></p>

<Title>Nothing to Debate: &#8216;She&#8217; Should Be Used to Refer to Manning</Title>
<Tagline>Gender identity in the news: Portrayals of Chelsea Manning</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>By: <a href="http://dissenter.firedoglake.com/author/kgosztola/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Kevin Gosztola</a> – Thursday
    August 22, 2013 9:45 pm</p>
    <p>
    "The soldier who was sentenced to thirty-five years in prison for
    releasing United States government information that was published by WikiLeaks,
    Bradley Manning, came out as a woman this morning when [her] defense attorney
    announced that Manning was a [woman] and wanted to be called Chelsea Manning...<br>
     <br>
    ...Since Manning came out publicly and made the request, one would expect the
    United States press would universally be moving to covering any future news
    stories on Manning with the appropriate and requested pronouns. However, “NBC’s
    Today, USA TODAY, The Boston Globe, Politico, CNN, Fox, the New York Daily
    News, the New York Post, the Daily Beast, the Los Angeles Times and The New
    York Times” are going to keep using the masculine pronoun. The Washington Post
    is also going to stick with the masculine pronoun as well."</p>

<Title>GWST Student Kelly Martin Broderick makes national headlines</Title>
<Tagline>Turning cyberbullying into an opportunity for activism</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>After learning that an anonymous person used her profile picture to create a mean-spirited meme online, Kelly first tried to retrieve her image and stop the spread of the photo online. When those attempts were unsuccessful, she decided instead to respond publicly.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>She wrote about her story, critiquing the systems of oppression at work in this cyberbulling episode, which you can read online at xoJane: "<span><a href="http://www.xojane.com/issues/my-picture-was-stolen-and-turned-into-a-fat-shaming-anti-feminist-meme" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">My Picture Was Stolen And Turned Into A Fat-Shaming Anti-Feminist Meme on Facebook</a>: </span><span>At first I was in shock. Then I got angry. Then I decided to do something about it." This story has been picked up by additional news outlets, including Cosmo (</span><a href="http://www.cosmopolitan.com/celebrity/news/what-feminists-look-like" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.cosmopolitan.com/celebrity/news/what-feminists-look-like</a>).</div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>Kelly took this experience one step further and created a tumblr where folks can submit pictures of themselves, to help prove her point, "Feminists are not a monolith. We are diverse and unique. We don’t fit into every stereotype." Check out her tumblr and submit your photo to this project here: <a href="http://wearewhatfeministslooklike.tumblr.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://wearewhatfeministslooklike.tumblr.com/</a>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><span>The Department of Gender and Women's Studies applauds Kelly's activism, leadership, courage, and quick wit. We look forward to seeing what Kelly will do next, and you should too.</span></div>
