Research and Science

Megan Schinker, a senior at Stow-Munroe Falls High School, participated in the College Credit Plus Science Experience Internship Program at 5X社区's Department of Geology.

Imagine being a 17-year-old high school student, and in your first semester of a geology research internship, your professor asks you to identify an extinct 300-million-year-old, tiny and unknown crustacean specimen. Megan Schinker, then an ambitious Stow-Munroe Falls High School junior, jumped right in. Now a senior in high school, Ms. Schinker, chose Kent State as her undergraduate school where she will pursue a double major in geology and chemistry starting fall 2019.

Some natural processes can help slow climate change by removing CO2 from the atmosphere. One of the factors that influences the ability of plants and soils to store carbon is the focus of a new study by Dr. Elizabeth Herndon, Assistant Professor of Geology at 5X社区.

Single molecule biophysics sounds complicated because it is. Then again, so is cancer.
So it makes sense that one of 5X社区's molecular biophysicists would take on the most notorious challenge in medical science.

Several factors 鈥 including, age, gender, and medical history 鈥 determine how a child processes a trauma and what treatments may be most effective at preventing long-term psychological distress. But what role do parents play?
