Eve E Marder
Neuroscience
Determine how long-term temperature acclimation affects resilience of the crab stomatogastric ganglion pyloric rhythm, a repeating motor pattern, by recording motor patterns and neuromuscular junctions across temperatures and with neuromodulators.
Niels Bradshaw
Biochemistry
Uncover general principles of how PPM serine/threonine phosphatases are regulated and directed to the right substrate, using bacterial phosphatases that control the general stress response, a survival pathway linked to virulence.
Angela Gutchess
Psychology
Test whether the self-reference effect, the memory boost from relating information to oneself, differs among non-Hispanic White, second-generation Chinese American and second-generation Mexican American adults.
Yangyang Wang
Neuroscience
Identify how inhibitory neuromodulation by opioids changes the dynamics and properties of glutamatergic synapses in the preBötzinger Complex, the brainstem network that drives inhaled breaths.
Harry Mairson
Computer Science
Develop a domain-specific functional programming language based on straightedge-and-compass constructions, a programmable synthetic geometry that describes shapes largely without numbers.
