Biology students Allie Arguello and Mackenzie Powell presented their cardio-renal physiology research at the Experimental Biology Conference in Boston, MA. Experimental Biology is an annual meeting comprised of over 14,000 scientists and exhibitors representing six sponsoring societies and multiple guest societies. Allie Arguello presented her research from the lab of UE alum Dr. Jennifer Pollock titled "Dynamin-2 is a negative regulator of NOS1β in the collecting duct."

Mackenzie was also a recipient of the David S. Bruce Outstanding Undergraduate Abstract Award

The Cognitive Science Modeling Lab is pleased to announce that the following students were selected to participate on the predictive modeling team for the 2015 NFL season: Team leader and senior, Jacob Green (Cognitive Science), sophomore Jacob Ball (Computer Science), senior Andrey Biryuchinskiy (Finance and Economics), junior Austin Cibulka (Mechanical Engineering), junior Alycia Olson (Cognitive Science), sophomore Torin Madden (Marketing), senior Evan Snider (Creative Writing and Marketing), and sophomore Daniel Waskeiwicz (Exercise Science/Pre PT).

The team of eight members represents all four of UE's colleges and, as such, each member brings a unique skill set to a common enterprise.

We are pleased by the formation of this team and look forward to a successful Fall project in predictive modeling.

Dr. Cris Hochwender received funding to support an additional research student for the summer of 2015. The Research Grants Committee of the Indiana Academy of Science reviewed grant proposals for the Spring 2015; his proposal was rated highly, even in the field of strong proposals that were submitted, and he received the requested amount in full.

When asked, Hochwender said, “As always, UE’s biology department strives to provide students with Division I research experiences. Our ultimate goal is to provide life changing research opportunities to our students; my hope is that this summer research will provide such experiences, while also generating findings that inform and guide the management of our natural resources.” 

Two biology students, Stephanie Tran and Kelsey Williams, together with one environmental studies major, Samantha Montgomery, presented their summer research at the Association of Southeastern Biologists (ASB) conference. In a continuing quest to produce high quality, Division I research, these students presented their poster, entitled “Native tree survivorship and growth rates in mixed species plots: Neotropical timber plantations can promote associated biodiversity” to a very engaged set of faculty and students. Their research centered on demonstrating the value of using native trees in a mixed species plantation to increase native plant diversity. They found that some native tree species grew rapidly, making them valuable for timber. Additionally, associated plant diversity in the plantations was high with 142 species from 57 families colonizing the understory of the plantations in the 400 m2 area sampled. These findings demonstrated that using a mixture of native tree species in a plantation setting can provide trees of timber value, while also allowing for rapid re-establishment of understory diversity.

ASB is the largest scientific professional organization in the Southeastern United States. Their mission (to promote Biology through research and education) is primarily supported through their Annual Meeting where Faculty and students present their research.
 

The University of Evansville baseball team (16-12) won 7-4 on Wednesday night against Southern Indiana. Infielder Jonathan Ramon tied a career-high with three hits as shortstop Shain Showers homered for the fourth time in five games.

“We beat a good club tonight,” said Evansville head coach Wes Carroll. “It was an all-around good effort from our team.”

Facing USI right-hander Scott Haag, outfielder Jarod Perry was hit by a pitch with one out in the first inning. It was his program record 42nd hit by pitch, surpassing Alex Acheson (2007-2010) for most in school history. Perry then stole second and scored on an RBI single from Ramon. The base-hit from Ramon extended his hitting streak to nine consecutive games and gave Evansville the 1-0 lead.

After USI tied the game in the second on an Andrew Cope RBI double, UE reassumed the lead in the bottom of the inning. Showers hit a leadoff home run to left field for the 2-1 advantage. Outfielder Josh Jyawook increased the lead with a run producing single later in the frame.

Aces right-hander Ryan Billo maintained the 3-1 lead over the middle innings by retiring nine of the next 10 hitters he faced.

UE extended the two run edge with another three-run inning in the fifth. The Aces sent eight men to the plate, scoring a run on a Showers RBI single to left field and adding on more with a two-run double from designated hitter Max Foley.

Down 6-1, USI got closer with a tally in the sixth inning and another rally in the eighth. Reliever Ryan Brady encountered trouble in his second inning of work. After the first out, four straight hitters reached, including a bases loaded hit by pitch to Trent Gunn. Righty Conor Gilligan then came in with the bases loaded and one out, allowing a sacrifice fly and getting a groundout to end the inning.

Leading 6-4, the Aces tacked on a run in the eighth with a sacrifice fly from outfielder Kevin Kaczmarski and closer Brent Jurceka held USI scoreless in the ninth to finalize a 7-4 Evansville victory.

Billo (3-1) earned the win, pitching 6.0 innings and allowing two runs on five hits. The loss goes to Hagg, who yielded three runs in 4.0 innings. Jurceka secured his fifth save of the year.

Infielder Stewart Nelson set a new career-high with three walks.
