Peter Adler
Ecology & Evolution
Test whether community-environment disequilibrium, the gap between the climate a community suits and the one it experiences, reduces primary productivity, weakens resistance to biological invasion, and lowers pollination services, using novel combinations of existing long-term datasets.
Mimi Recker
Education Research
Evaluate whether courses in programming, technology design and sensor systems, built with local partners, help rural middle and high school students gain computing and STEM knowledge, using student assessments and analysis of student-created work.
Zhongde Wang
Microbiology & Immunology
Create a humanized-NTCP Syrian hamster using CRISPR gene editing to change the two codons in the hamster NTCP entry receptor that encode the amino acid residues required for hepatitis B virus infection.
Erica Stuber
Ecology & Evolution·Early-career
Characterize the scales of effect, meaning the spatial extents at which species respond to environmental features, for hundreds of North American breeding birds, using multi-scale analyses of a large citizen-science observation database.
Colleen Jones
Earth & Environmental Science
Conduct a year-long field campaign near Salt Lake City measuring elemental and divalent mercury, related oxidants, and chemical and weather variables, using a dual-channel continuous mercury system that avoids the low bias of standard methods.
