<Title>In the Canopy with Wheelchairs &amp; Tardigrades</Title>
<Tagline>Climb a North American deciduous forest in this paid REU</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <strong>Title: 3D Invertebrate Herbivory and Biodiversity in Deciduous North American Forest Canopies: Inspiring Students with Physical Disabilities to Pursue Field Biology</strong><div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>This is a three-dimensional research project to define the taxonomy and distribution of tardigrades (water bears) in the canopy and the herbivory of insects on a North American deciduous forest.The project is a fast-paced, tree-climbing, data-collecting, rapid-analysis and results-oriented internship. It is not for the timid. The plan is to climb and collect in the cooler mornings and spend the hotter afternoons and evenings processing specimens in the labs. Weekends include visits to local cultural sites and water bear hunts.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <div>This canopy-based REU project offers students of all abilities equal opportunity to explore and learn. Students can discover new species, new ecologies and new limits and reach new heights.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Designed for eight students, four with ambulatory disabilities and four without</strong>, this project is based on the idea that a wheelchair is not a limit to good field biology. To explore the canopy we climb ropes not trees, and in the lab we use microscopes, computers and minds, which have no limits.</div>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The program runs from <strong>May 29 – Aug. 9, 2017</strong>
    </div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div><strong>Benefits include:</strong></div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li><strong>A stipend of $525 per week for the 10-week project ($5,250)</strong></li>
    <li>An allowance for food</li>
    <li>A shared apartment in Baker University housing</li>
    <li>Travel costs to and from home to the project, as well as internal project travel</li>
    </ul>
    <div>Suggested majors:</div>
    </div>
    <div>
    <ul>
    <li>Biological Sciences</li>
    <li>Environmental Science</li>
    </ul>

    <div>The Maryland Charity Campaign means a
     great deal to this campus. But, where it really matters is with those 
    in our community who need our help. Whether it’s feeding the homeless, 
    rescuing abused animals, or supporting victims of relationship violence 
    and abuse.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We all know that sometimes the main 
    reason people haven't given is that they simply haven't gotten around to
     it. So, if you have an interest in participating and plan to <span>give</span>, please do so now.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The deadline for gifts to the campaign has been extended, and we will be accepting <strong><span>online donations</span>
     through the end of December 2016</strong>. If you have not yet had a chance to 
    do so, we encourage you to help support the many nonprofit organizations
     that serve our surrounding community, and <a href="http://mcc.maryland.gov/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>consider a gift of any amount</span></a>. If you need assistance donating, see our <a href="http://mcc.umbc.edu/help/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">online help guide</a>.</div>
