  <Title>Researcher of the Week: Kathryn Henry</Title>
  <Tagline>Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <strong>How did you learn about the McNair Scholars Program at UMBC?</strong><br>My Sondheim Public Affairs adviser Delana Gregg told me about the program and encouraged me to apply. Her support really made the difference and I am so thankful that she thought of me for this!<br><br><strong>Did the McNair program help you find your research project for this summer?</strong><br>The McNair program has provided everything I could possibly need for researching this summer. They helped me find a mentor, draft a proposal, design my project, and they've also provided me with a place to stay and conduct research. In addition, they've helped me out with the cost of food, so I'm free to spend time working on my project rather than trying to make money by working another job in addition to my research duties.<br><br><strong>How are you conducting this research?</strong><br>I'm doing a literature review and some analyses of my own. In addition, I hope to do some surveys and patient data analysis in the future.<br><br><strong>What has been the most interesting or unexpected thing about your research?</strong><br>Learning that peptides from wheat (gluten) and dairy (casein) can act almost exactly like opiates in the brain was very interesting. In addition, the finding out that anorexic patients experience less intestinal permeability and have better immune function than normal controls was really surprising.<br><br><strong>What academic background did you have before you started this research?</strong><br>I'm a Political Science and Public Administration major, so at first glance this research project would appear to be way outside of my field. As someone who's interested in public health, however, it was concerning to me that so little research has been done linking the incidence of eating disorders to food and lifestyle habits. Eating disorders, obesity, and chronic disease have all been on the rise since the early 1900s, and this trend matches very nicely with increases in food processing and sugar consumption in the U.S. diet. I've conducted original research before and have a pretty extensive background knowledge of my subject from previous research endeavors, so I felt confident that, with some advice from professionals, I could take this on.<br><br><strong>What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?</strong><br>Talk to people and professionals who are studying what you are. I tend to get really into reading reports and my ability to produce written work often slows because of this. There is so much to learn that it's easy to get off track and never end up writing everything. Talking to people reminds you of your goals and gives you new ideas when you're stuck. Networking is never a bad thing, and I've found that professionals generally really like to help undergraduates who are passionate about what they're studying.<br><br><strong>What are your careers goals and how does this research fit into your goals?</strong><br>I'm actually planning to attend medical school after college and pursue a naturopathic degree. An N.D. is similar to an M.D.; both have the same basic sciences as the core of their educational curriculum, but I like that N.D. is more systems-based and holistic. Naturopathy is based on the idea that the body is capable of self-correcting disease (often without drugs) if given the right support. It's focused a lot on educating and empowering the patient and preventing diseases before they start. I think we will see a huge increase in popularity as the skepticism around the practice decreases and people being to understand the value of this approach. The accredited medical schools that offer this degree are pretty legitimate and I've actually found that N.D.s are now training M.D.'s regarding topics like endocrinology, adrenal function, herbal supplementation etc. My research on this topic takes a functionalist approach, which means it will fit right in with what I'll learn in medical school. I plan to continue this research well into my adult life. I think the issues I'm hitting on are really important and will need to be publicized in some way. <br><br>Read more about Kathryn's research, “Considering Intestinal Permeability in Eating Disorder Treatment” at the link below.<br>

    <span><strong><u>Deadline: FEBRUARY 15, 2012<br></u></strong></span><div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Description: NSF supported Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU). 10-week multidisciplinary program where participants work in teams on projects ranging from <strong>virtual and augmented reality</strong> to <strong>robotics</strong> to <strong>biology simulations</strong> to<strong> mobile app development</strong>. This program is especially good for freshmen and students new to research because it's very structured and includes a lot of skill development, but the difficulty of the projects scale well for upperclassmen interested as well. </span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Required Major: NONE! This is a multidisciplinary program designed to encourage collaboration and discovery. Students from all majors are given equal consideration, although keep in mind that this is a computing research environment, so competitive applicants typically have some type of programming experience (or have a willingness to learn).</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Compensation: Includes travel, housing, meals, and $5000 stipend.</span></div>
    <div><span><br></span></div>
    <div><span>Location: Iowa State University, Virtual Reality Applications Center (VRAC). Hosted by the Human Computer Interaction Graduate Program.</span></div>

  <Title>The Dubious Wisdom of Sally Brown</Title>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <span>When I was four or five years old, I got a set of bed sheets featuring characters from the Peanuts cartoons: Charlie Brown, his sister Sally, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder, Snoopy.  The characters were talking (using speech bubbles), and I read their words over and over again.  The only phrase I can remember was Sally Brown's.  She said: "I hate to go to bed at night and I hate to get up in the morning."</span><br>
    <br>
    <span><em>Exactly</em>, I thought.  Sure, I was only five years old, but here was a philosophy I could live by.  My parents believed in something called "bedtime," after which I was supposed to lie in the dark while activity continued elsewhere in the house.  I wanted no such thing, and didn't like being told what to do.  To me, the freedom <em>not to go to sleep</em> appeared to be the essential privilege of adulthood.  Getting up in the morning, on the other hand . . . well, the adults could have it; I wanted no part.  Maybe I was born on a planet with a 27-hour day.</span><br>
    <br>
    <span>In college and graduate school I came to think of myself as naturally nocturnal.  In a world shackled to the antiquated tradition of getting stuff done during the day, I preferred to start focusing sometime after lunch, and would have been happy to hang out with friends until the wee hours every night.  Who could sleep anyway, what with the anxiety produced by deadlines and exams?  So too often, I let my inner Sally Brown make my choices.  I got my academic work done, but it took a lot longer than it should have, since I was almost always fighting exhaustion.  I felt weak, unhealthy and often deeply unhappy.  That childhood association of late nights with freedom was making me less free, because its consequence was that I was spending my waking hours carrying the burden of unnecessary fatigue.</span><br>
    <br>
    <span>The amazing thing is that despite my personal education in the consequences of sleep deprivation, I've never completely dispelled my Sally Brown tendencies.  It's so easy give in to the delusion that a choice to delay sleep now is not going to cost me later.  I <em>always </em>want to watch a little more TV, check my email one more time, or give one more glance at my Facebook news feed.  </span><br>
    <br>
    <span>But several decades in thrall to a cartoonish sleep philosophy is enough.  I already had "go to bed at the same reasonable time every night" on my list of upcoming New Year's resolutions, but I'm going to get an early start.  UMBC is celebrating its first <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/spotlights/6460" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Sleep Awareness Day</a> this Wednesday, November 30th.  Perfect!  I'll do my part by going to sleep by 11:00 p.m. and getting at least 8 hours, and then sticking to it night after night.  How about you?</span><br>
    <br>
