Linda Wiratan wins Prestigious Goldwater Scholarship!
Future leader in STEM research
UMBC junior Linda Wiratan has been awarded the Goldwater scholarship for 2018. Yasmin Graham earned an Honorable Mention.
Linda is a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major with a minor in Creative Writing. She is a member of the Honors College, a URA Scholar and URCAD presenter, and a published poet in Bartleby, UMBC's creative arts journal. Her mentor is Dr. Hua Lu and her current research is entitled, "Investigation of Effects of Elicitor-Induced Defense Activation on the Circadian Clock in Arabidopsis." She will present her research poster at URCAD on Wednesday, April 25th from 10-11:30 am in the UC Ballroom.
Linda joins UMBC's past Goldwater recipients who have earned this prestigious award. As a representative of science, she hopes to improve its public perception by advancing its approachability. To this end, in addition to all of her academic achievements, Linda is the founder of City of Cells, LLC, a science-focused organization with the mission of improving the public perception of science through interactive and creative means such as blogs, science-inspired products, and educational animation. She will pursue a Ph.D. in Cell or Molecular Biology and conduct protein dynamics research. She has won various awards for her research posters, and has consistently been named to the Dean’s and President’s lists at UMBC. She has co-authored four articles with her mentors, Dr. Hua Lu and Dr. Marcin Ptaszek, in peer reviewed journals, including Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Letters, and Nature Communications (under review). The paper which Linda co-authored was selected as a cover article in the current issue of Inorganic Chemistry, and she also made the graphics for the cover. She was selected from a pool of 1280 applicants for the Goldwater scholarship. The award supports high-achieving STEM students who will pursue careers as research scientists, and will support Linda with funding for her senior academic year.
Yasmin Graham is a junior Mechanical Engineering major, a Meyerhoff and MARC U* STAR Scholar, and LSAMP participant. She earned Goldwater's honorable mention.
Congratulations to Linda and Yasmin!

URA's Published!
Jin Kim and Hayley Richardson get published.
A new study almost 20 years in the making provides some of the strongest evidence yet of the 'speciation reversal' phenomenon -- where two distinct lineages hybridize and eventually merge into one -- in two lineages of common ravens.
Dr. Kevin Omland, professor of biological sciences at
University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) initially began work on this
project in 1999, Common Ravens were considered a single species worldwide. He
thought further research might uncover two distinct species -- perhaps an
"Old World" and "New World" raven -- but the real story is
much more complicated. Omland reported the existence of two Common Raven
lineages in 2000, one concentrated in the southwestern United States dubbed
"California," and another found everywhere else (including Maine,
Alaska, Norway and Russia) called "Holarctic."
Since then, the plot has thickened. Two undergraduates in
Omland's lab, Jin Kim and Hayley Richardson, former URA's, analyzed
mitochondrial DNA from throughout the western United States and found the two
lineages are extensively intermixed.
Read the entire article here.
More information about being an URA can be found here.

Still Don't Know Where to Find an Internship? Don't Worry!
Summer research opportunities are still available!
While many summer research programs have deadlines in January and February, there are still opportunities with deadlines in March and even into May! Some programs will even continue to accept applications until all positions are filled, so don't get distressed over a missed deadline and read the website information carefully (there may even be other opportunities available that are listed).
How to Find Summer Research
Besides asking a faculty member within your department or talking to your advisor, there are other places to find undergraduate research opportunities.
The
Research Opportunities Page [
https://ur.umbc.edu/summer-research/] lists a variety of searchable databases, opportunities for STEM students, those in the humanities, and even graduating seniors.
The
Summer Research Opportunities Spreadsheet [
https://tinyurl.com/yd2o4y83] lists 450+ research opportunities for almost every major and provides information such as when an internship was last updated on the sheet, what majors might be suited for it, and possible important information. Some research experiences that are still accepting applications include:
Back to the Future REU - Deadline MARCH 4, 2018
SURF in Pharmacology and Toxicology - Deadline MARCH 12, 2018
If you have any questions about finding summer research or you need assistance with your application, please contact Dr. April Householder, aprilh@umbc.edu.
*NOTE: These resource pages are being updated with the most current information as quickly as possible. If you have a question about any of the opportunities listed that has not been updated or you notice an error, please email Dr. Householder.
