<Title>Researcher of the Week: Queenie Tran</Title>
<Tagline>Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Meet Queenie,<div>She is a <a href="http://psychology.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Psychology major</a> and a <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/undergrad_ed/research/URA/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">URA Scholar</a>. She is also Vice President of Internal Affairs for the UMBC chapter of <a href="http://www.umbcakdphi.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">alpha Kappa Delta Phi</a> and a member of the <a href="http://honors.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Honors College</a>. Her on campus footprint extends to the past two summers when she worked as a Welcome Week Woolie. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div><strong>How did you find your mentor for your research project?</strong></div>
    <div>After my first semester at UMBC, I knew I wanted to get involved in research. I went to the Psychology department’s website and read every faculty members page to see whose research appealed to me. I was really interested in Dr. Charissa Cheah’s work so I e-mailed her and the next thing I knew, I was scheduled for an interview.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How did you know this was the project you wanted to do?</strong></div>
    <div>Both of my parents immigrated to the United States, and growing up, I noticed a lot of differences between myself and other kids at school, especially how our parents approached our social lives. For instance, it really upset the 10-year-old me that I could not sleep over at my friends’ houses! For my project, I wanted to look at common characteristics in Chinese immigrant children’s social networks, how involved parents are when it comes to their children’s play dates, and how those two things are associated.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Is this your first independent research project?</strong></div>
    <div>Yes.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How much time do you put into research?</strong></div>
    <div>I registered for 2 credits last semester, so I was required to complete 90 hours of lab work by the end of the semester—about 6 hours a week. I was in the lab about 4 hours during the week, though that changed from week to week depending on what assignments I was working on. I also went to a lot of home visits, which is when we actually collect our data. Those would take up 3-5 hours at a time on Saturday or Sunday mornings or afternoons. Now that I’m working on my own independent research in addition to the things I do as a research assistant, I know I’m going to need to put in extra time for my project.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Was the application difficult to do?</strong></div>
    <div>When I first sat down to look at the application, I was pretty overwhelmed and I had no idea where to start. I typed up some of my answers, hoping I at least somewhat sounded like I knew what I was talking about, and sent it to Dr. Cheah. I was pretty far off the mark, and that first draft was full of red marks and comments! Thankfully, Dr. Cheah gave me a lot of guidance so I was able to better understand what I needed to convey. After that, it was just a matter of forcing myself to sit down and work on it, work on it, and work on it some more. I spent a lot of time staring at my computer, wanting to bang my head on the table, but it really does not seem that bad when I look back. Writing is a huge part of research and is something that (in my experience) never gets easier, but the process flows more smoothly each time you do it. Plus, the relief you feel when you finish makes it all worth it!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How much did your mentor help you with the application?</strong></div>
    <div>When I went to Dr. Cheah with my project proposal, it was big and broad and vague and unsure. With her help, I was able to narrow it all down into something manageable. She talked me through pulling this idea from out of the clouds down into a project I could actually complete, which was amazing. Dr. Cheah helped me with the application itself by untangling this huge jumble of words I wrote and magically turning it into something coherent. Even though I completed the application myself, her guidance made a world of a difference.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?</strong></div>
    <div>There is a difference between doing the bare minimum and actually getting involved. If you want to get involved, it takes a lot of time and a lot of hard work, but if you enjoy it, even the tedious parts can be fun. Also, be brave and volunteer for opportunities! I was always the quiet student in class, but my experience became a million times better when I stepped out of my comfort zone.</div>

    <div class="html-content">
    <p>The Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology at the University of Chicago is at the forefront of research in molecular mechanisms underlying cell biology and organismal development. Current faculty work on fundamental problems in biology using a wide range of model systems including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi, plants, nematode worms, fruit flies, fish and mice. With funding from the National Science Foundation, the Department offers an exciting opportunity for talented undergraduates to acquire experience in research. This program is designed for students who are interested in attending graduate school and pursuing a career in science. MGCB Summer Internships allow students to devote themselves to research projects, working in collaboration with graduate students or postdoctoral fellows, to address important problems in biology.</p>
    <p>Interns will be hosted by research laboratories in the department, most of which are housed in the Cummings Life Sciences Center, with several laboratories in a nearby building. Interns will have full access to the advanced instrumentation available in the host laboratories as well as in a large set of superb core facilities, including advanced light and electron microscopy, next generation DNA sequencing, and a wide range of biophysical approaches.</p>

    <p><span>DDCSP@UW is a multi-year summer immersion program created to both draw more diverse students to the field of environmental conservation and to broaden what it means to be a “conservation professional.”</span></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>We’re looking for 20-25 freshmen and sophomores to join us for a paid, 8-week immersion course this summer.  Our program starts in Seattle and travels to various landscapes across the state before returning to the UW campus at the end of the summer.  Scholars don’t have to be environmental science, or even science, majors, but should demonstrate a commitment to the environment and to diversity.</span></p>
    <p><span>Conservation Scholars will:</span></p>
    <ul>
    <li><span>Explore conservation across urban, managed, and protected environments</span></li>
    <li><span>Connect conservation to cultural heritage and environmental justice</span></li>
    <li><span>Understand conservation in the context of food, water, biodiversity and climate</span></li>
    <li><span>Network with conservation professionals from agencies, NGOs, and academic institutions</span></li>
