<Title>Undergraduate Researcher of the Week: Imani Conway</Title>
<Tagline>"Approach research with an open mind and seek opportunities"</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Imani is a <strong>Public Health</strong> major with a minor in <strong>Sociology</strong> who will graduate in December.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Title of your research project:</strong> <em>Childhood Sexual Abuse as a Social Determinants of Health </em>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Describe your project</strong>: My project examines the effects of childhood sexual abuse on women's health over time, exploring both immediate and lasting impacts on their physical and mental health.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Who is your mentor for your project? How did you find your mentor? Why did you choose them? </strong></div>
    <div>My mentor is <strong>Dr. Andrea Kalfoglou</strong> from the<strong> Public Health Department</strong>. I found my mentor through the PBHL 350 Public Health Ethics class, which Dr.  Kalfoglou taught. Throughout the semester, I had the opportunity to build a strong connection with her due to her expertise, approachability, and the insightful discussions we had during the course. I chose Dr. Kalfoglou because of her extensive knowledge and experience in public health. Additionally, her supportive and encouraging mentoring style made me feel confident that she would provide valuable guidance and feedback. Dr. Kalfoglou’s dedication to her students and her passion for public health inspired me to seek her mentorship for this project.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How did you become interested in this project?</strong></div>
    <div>I became interested in this project through my conversations with Dr. Kalfoglou about the various projects she was passionate about. During these discussions, I was particularly struck by her innovative ideas and the impactful potential of her proposed research topics. Her enthusiasm for addressing critical public health issues and her commitment inspired me to delve deeper into these areas. Dr. Kalfoglou’s vision and dedication motivated me to contribute to this important work, and I saw an opportunity to learn and grow under her guidance. As a result, I became deeply invested in pursuing this project, knowing it would be both intellectually stimulating and highly beneficial to the community.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher? </strong></div>
    <div>The hardest part about my research has been navigating the vast amount of existing literature and identifying the most relevant and credible sources to support my work. Sifting through conflicting information and differing viewpoints to find a clear direction has been particularly challenging.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The most unexpected aspect of being a researcher was the continuous journey of self-discovery intertwined with the pursuit of knowledge. I anticipated diving into the depths of my chosen field, but what I did not foresee was how each setback and breakthrough would shape not only my understanding of the subject matter but also my own capabilities and resilience. Research is not just about uncovering facts; it is a personal exploration of growth, where every obstacle becomes a stepping stone towards deeper insights and greater achievements.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What has been the most rewarding part?</strong></div>
    <div>Getting to work alongside Dr. Kalfoglou while strengthening our connection has been the most rewarding aspect of my research journey. Collaborating closely with someone whose expertise I deeply respect not only enhances the quality of my work but also provides invaluable mentorship and guidance. Our shared dedication to advancing public health has not only enriched my research experience but has also fostered a supportive and inspiring professional relationship that I truly value.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How will you disseminate your research?</strong></div>
    <div>I have already begun disseminating my research findings. On June 25th, 2024, I presented a poster of my findings at the 10th annual “Envision” conference sponsored by the Moore Center for the Prevention of Childhood Sexual Abuse at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The focus of the conference was approaching childhood sexual abuse as a public health problem with prevention as a primary strategy. Additionally, I will be presenting my research at URCAD on April 16th, 2025.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?  </strong></div>
    <div>My advice to other students about getting involved in research is to approach it with an open mind and actively seek opportunities to build connections with your professors. Do not be afraid to reach out and express your interest in their research areas or inquire about potential projects where you could contribute. Building relationships with professors not only opens doors to research opportunities but also provides invaluable mentorship and guidance throughout your academic journey. Additionally, do not shy away from exploring different research topics. You never know where your passion and skills might lead you.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What are your career goals?</strong></div>
    <div>As a public health graduate with a focus on research and community health, my career goals are centered around leveraging evidence-based research to inform and implement health interventions that address disparities in underserved communities. I aspire to contribute to the development of public health policies and programs that promote equitable access to healthcare and improve overall population health outcomes.</div>

<Title>Meet Ahmad Hussin: UMBC's Undergraduate Researcher of the Week</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>
    <strong>Ahmad Hussin</strong> is a junior<strong> Biological Science </strong>major and A <strong>URA Scholar</strong>. His research is entitled:<em> “A key to Multicellularity: regA”</em>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Mentor:</strong> Dr. Stephen Miller</div>
    <div> </div>
    <div>
    <strong>What research experiences have you had?</strong> </div>
    <div>My current research experience has been working in the Miller lab to explore the function of a gene called RegA in a little green algae called Volvox Carteri to explore the evolution of multicellular life. We hope to understand this gene and the genes related to us to construct an understanding of how life went from micro to macro and how cells became specialized to have specific functions.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How did you find the research opportunity?</strong></div>
    <div>Dr. Stephen Miller first informed me of the research experience and mentoring internship in the spring semester when I was in his BIO141 class. I applied and was graciously allowed to join.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Who is your mentor for your research, scholarship, or artistic project? How did you arrange to work with this person?</strong></div>
    <div>Dr. Miller at UMBC in the biology department has been my mentor and a close friend. Dr. Miller set up all the necessary steps to make me a suitable undergraduate researcher through an internship that is offered every summer called the research experience and mentoring program in the Summer of 23’. Since I've been a part of the lab and continued to explore my project.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Do you get course credit for this work? Paid? How much time do you put into it?</strong></div>
    <div>I was paid, given college credit, and given my own project to publish in the future. I worked full time for the first summer I was in the program, and since totaled over 1200 hours in the lab! With much more to come.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What academic background did you have before you started?</strong></div>
    <div>I entered the lab with limited knowledge of biology despite being a biology major. as a rising sophomore I had a lot to learn, but we’re here today.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How did you learn what you needed to know to be successful in this project?</strong></div>
    <div>To be successful in research and in my project I’ve found that the process will only be as taxing and draining as you let it be. Research is hard. You will face obstacles and fail many times, but you need to create milestones to be celebrated and understand that it's not gonna work the first or second or third time. But when you get there, you'll get there. So keep marching, because the goal is within your reach.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What was the hardest part about your research?</strong></div>
    <div>The hardest part about research I’ve found is dealing with failure. It can be very exhausting when it's your 8th time doing an experiment that failed every time or coming in at 3 AM to experiment and finding out the next morning a power outage threw your results out the garbage, but that makes success all the sweeter.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What was the most unexpected thing?</strong></div>
    <div>The most unexpected thing I’ve gathered from research is the connections made between people I’ve met. Making the lab a place for friends turns it from a workplace to a home. Coming to the lab and talking about anything from our existence to eating algae with graduate and undergraduate students makes me want to come to the lab 7 days a week.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>How does this research experience relate to your work in other classes?</strong></div>
    <div>As a biology student, the methods I’ve learned in the lab have helped me get a step ahead when studying for my classes. A key part of being a good researcher is to understand the mechanisms of what is happening rather than a means to an end. By doing so when those topics come up in your classes you won't have to think twice about it.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research? </strong></div>
    <div>My advice for other students would be to focus on using their time in research to learn as much as you can. Ask questions whenever possible and don't do things for the sake of doing them alone. Research is a way for us to know more about the world around us, but just as much an opportunity to learn from others. Fill in those gaps. As for students who are trying to get research experience, my best advice is to be persistent. Sending an email to a professor might not be enough to break the ice, so trying things like following up or meeting with the professor face-to-face will go a long way.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What are your career goals?</strong></div>
    <div>My current career goal is to end up in a Md-Ph.D program with a focus on infectious disease and epidemiology. I hope to become a clinician scientist who spends part of his time behind the lab bench and another part in the hospital helping others.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>What else are you involved in on campus?</strong></div>
    <div>I am most involved in the Muslim Student Association and Biology Council of Majors, but for the best chance of finding me, I’d look in the offices of Dr. Miller, Dr. Eisenmann, or the lab where I can be found chatting it up.</div>
    <div><br></div>
