Yesterday marked the end of the Honors defenses for our research group. Our group went 6 for 6! To date our group also had 6 conference presentations, one best paper award winner, and four award competition submissions.
Many seasoned researchers do not have stats like that for a semester or year!
We will wait to hear the outcomes of the award submissions and get some papers submitted to journals after exams are over.
I am so proud of our group. I thoroughly enjoyed our semester together and will keep everyone updated on additional awards and recognitions.
Stay tuned!

Brent Cox at the Alpha Chi National Convention
Brent Cox had a exciting weekend presenting in San Diego. Below he shares his experience. Congrats Brent! He promises that there are photos to come!!
Here's a rundown of the past few days in San Diego!
I was in San Diego March 31-April 3 for the Alpha Chi National Convention where I presented my Honors Project, "Single-occupancy Patient Rooms: Administrator Awareness of Adoption Outcomes." Alpha Chi, a coed academic national honor society, sponsors a national convention every two years where students come together across disciplines to present independent research and projects. This year there were around 500 attendees.
My presentation went smoothly and I felt the audience was really engaged. After presenting, students asked numerous questions about the project, which gave me a great opportunity to practice my Q&A skills. I liked that a majority of the questions came from students and that they represented a wide range of disciplines (biology, health science, business, etc.). This was a great trial run for my honors defense that's coming up - and a great presentation/public speaking experience as well! Of the 16 presentations in the business category, I was fortunate enough to have been named "the most outstanding," and was awarded a $200 cash prize.
Three RC'ers were in attendance. Dr. Julie Maina (HHP) was the adviser for the conference and Nick Bonenfant (Biochemistry) presented as well. We had a lot of "non-academic" fun too! We went to the beach, Balboa Park, the Gaslamp Quarter, and the Old Globe Theater. Also, we couldn't go to San Diego without enjoying some Mexican food as well as the city's famous fish tacos (and on numerous occasions)! It was a really fun time and I'm glad to have had the opportunity to attend.
