For the second time this academic year, Ashleigh Hoskins (Biology, '26) won an "Undergraduate Poster Presentation Award" for her research presentation at the 2025 Midwest Drosophila Conference in Monticello, IL, October 18-19. Ashleigh's research, titled "Sec23 & Sec24 form a heterodimer involved in COPII vesicle trafficking that is critical for Drosophila oogenesis," is supported by CiSM(Computers in Science and Math) funding, and she conducts research with faculty mentor Dr. Julie Merkle (Biology).

Congratulations to UE biology alumni Elyse Talley, Darcie Smith, Christie Guetling (nei Hubbard),  former UE ES alumni Caitlin Caldwell and Jordon Lachowecki and former ES Physics alum Adam Dillman for their publication in the journal Plant Ecology. Their research, entitled, “Quality varies among host species, but diet mixing provides no benefit to the generalist parasite, Cuscuta gronovii” was guided by Dr. Cris G. Hochwender and Dr. E. Ann Powell. This D1 research pushes the boundary on the ecological understanding of diet mixing for generalist parasitic plants. The findings from the study suggest that the benefit of diet mixing seen for herbivores cannot be generalized to include parasitic plants. While diet mixing does not increase the fitness of C. gronovii, host plant quality associated with plant defenses appears to mediate parasite success.

This publication is the first published manuscript in a series associated with the collaboration between Dr. Ann Powell and Dr. Cris Hochwender. While faculty publication success is encouraging for these faculty members, the faculty are more encouraged that the research projects associated with six undergraduate students has been brought to fruition through a peer-reviewed publication in such a well-regarded journal!

That paper was a part of the panel that Rodríguez Quevedo chaired titled, "Recrear el pasado, imaginar el futuro: nuevas narrativas escritas por mujeres."

The Purple Aces searched for the winner in the final 15 minutes of play, notching nine more shots, including two shots on goal, but the Aces were unable to find the back of the night as the match ended in a draw.
 
"When you concede the first goal of the match, it makes everything tougher," said Head Coach Robbe Tarver. "Over the last two games, we have conceded first and we have had to battle back. Ultimately, we did not do enough to get the winner, but we worked for it."
 
"At the end of the day, we are at worst still tied for first in the conference, still undefeated in conference play. There are still positives to take from today, but still a big missed opportunity to take a big step to hosting and accomplishing some of the goals we want to achieve."
 
"We were able to celebrate our nine seniors and put forth a performance that I think everybody is proud of despite not getting the win that we wanted."
 
On the night, Evansville out-shot Bradley 21-6, including a 7-3 edge in shots on goal. Fadda led the match with six shots and three shots on goal, while Devin Shepherd (Denver, Colo/Arapahoe) added four shots and Escudero added three.

With the tie, Evansville moves to 4-3-8 overall and 2-0-3 in MVC play, moving into a tie atop the MVC table with Drake at nine points. UE takes a break from conference play on Monday with a trip to Louisville to take on the Cardinals. Kick-off is set for 5 PM.

Each year, recipients will be recognized at the UEPA hooding ceremony and receive funding to support participation in a related Health Sciences conference. The awards are supported by a permanent endowment, ensuring they will impact students for generations to come.

Physician assistants play a vital role in expanding access to care, often serving as the first point of contact and the driving force behind coordinated, compassionate healthcare. At UE, the Physician Assistant Science Program prepares students to meet this need, especially in underserved and rural areas.

"Good health made possible, that's our credo," said Dr. Moskowitz. "These awards are about more than recognition. They're about fueling the energy and excellence of students who will shape the future of care."

Dr. Moskowitz's career spans more than five decades in science, policy, and healthcare leadership. At the National Institutes of Health, he helped launch the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders and championed translational science, bridging laboratory breakthroughs with clinical solutions. At Wake Forest University School of Medicine, he spearheaded a dramatic expansion of the medical school's research enterprise. During his time at Pennsylvania State University, he integrated research programs across campuses and established the "Jayhound" inter-campus shuttle, strengthening health science collaborations. "Innovation doesn't happen in isolation," he said. "Everywhere we've gone, I've tried to connect universities, industry, and communities."

Joanne Moskowitz's impact has been equally profound. A lifelong educator, she taught elementary school for more than 30 years, instilling curiosity and confidence in young learners. "Sparking curiosity in children is what carries them forward into science, medicine, and service," she said. Her belief in the power of early education continues to shape the couple's philanthropic vision.

Now residents of Evansville, the Moskowitz family is deeply connected to UE's mission. "Every student deserves someone in their corner," said Mrs. Moskowitz. "For us, that means creating opportunities for growth, for learning, and for giving back in whatever ways we can."

"When a student sees their name on this plaque 20 years from now," Dr. Moskowitz added. "I hope they remember that someone believed in them, and that it inspires them to believe in others."

At the invitation of Deaconess Hospital Midtown, Assistant Professor of Spanish Dr. Cindy Crowe and several students presented research on Latino healthcare during Grand Rounds. On September 30, students Anna Elpers, Saray Rodriguez Hernandez, and Chloe Ruffin, members of the Latino Community Outreach ChangeLab, shared their findings with an audience of healthcare professionals, residents, medical students, and staff. Their presentation explored healthcare disparities affecting Latino communities and highlighted culturally sensitive strategies to help reduce barriers to care.
