UC Women in Science and Engineering

Congrats to WISE alum @BiancaNeale for being a recipient of this year's Central Ohio Mineral, Fossil, Gem and Jewelry Show Scholarship! You rock!

Great summer fellowship opportunity for undergrad students in Engineering, Physics or Math (no need to be a UC student) -- deadline is fast approaching, so please share widely: diana-hep.org/pages/fellows.…

Want to characterize proteins that can lead to more effective precision cancer therapeutics? This WISE project is for you--gain exp in methods like x-ray crystallography, TR-FRET while developing better understanding of interaction btwn chem, bio + med: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

Kangaroo care (KC) provides skin-to-skin contact and can improve health outcomes for premature infants. This WISE project, with @UCnursing, explores barriers and facilitators to implementing KC. WISE student will gain exp in stat analysis + survey design wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

What can the mammalian fossil record tell us about the potential for human driven ecological change? How can this influence conservation biology practices? Today's WISE project, from @UC_Geology will focus on these questions: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

Late-breaking WISE project posted--explore the ways that endocrine disruptors found in streams and lakes can influence the morphology and behaviors of Least Killifish and Mosquitofish populations. Great project for @BiologyUC and @UCEVST students: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

Today's WISE project evaluates chemosensory and mechanosensory responses to the larynx to better understand and evaluate vocal hyperfunction--great opportunity for students in @UC_CEAS : wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

How can we improve adherence to cervical cancer screening and treatment recommendations in under-resourced communities? Today's WISE project is a great example of academic-community partner research in Cincinnati working to reduce health disparities: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

Want to learn more about how to synthesize nanoparticles and apply them to sensing technologies in clinical and field settings? This WISE project, from @UcChem is for you: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

Today we bring you not one, but two(!) great WISE projects in theoretical and quantum physics--ideal for students who want to develop their computational and simulation skills: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje… wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

.@uc_evst @UC_ArtSci students: Groundwork Ohio River Valley is hiring for Youth Leader positions with the Green Team workforce development program, which trains youth in environmental science, outdoor recreation, and environmental careers. Deadline to apply is Feb. 19!

Today's featured WISE project will use electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) to machine non-conductive materials. Great opportunity in interdisciplinary setting in @UC_CEAS Micro and Nano Manufacturing Lab: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

How can we improve drug delivery methods to treat ocular diseases? In today's featured project the WISE student will use in vitro human 3D tissues to test how different dosing methods may reduce side effects: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

Today's WISE project is perfect for a Biomedical Engineering or CompSci student--work to develop a smartphone app that can provide voice and cough monitoring to improve at-home health care: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

Today's featured WISE project will look at how the deregulation of PRPS enzymes contributes to diseases like cancer in humans. Students will gain experience with normal and knockout mouse models and data analysis: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

How can we reduce oxidative damage following heart attack treatments? Students working on this WISE project will use ultrasound to reduce oxidative stress in tissue--great project for students in @BiologyUC @PhysicsUC and @UC_CEAS: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

We are sens-ing you are going to want to apply to this fantastic WISE project--learn about and apply electrochemistry to develop sensors for real-time neurotransmitter detection in the brain: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

Happy Monday WISE fans!Today we're featuring a project from @UcChem that uses machine learning to study the dynamics of protein complexes in key cell processes like mitosis: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…. Gain valuable experience in machine learning methods+simulation in chem!

How do materials behave and interact at atomic levels? Students paired with today's WISE project from Mech&Mat Eng will use computer simulations to model atomic interactions -- great for @UC_CEAS students! wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…

How do bilingual speech capabilities develop in children? How can this help us better identify speech disorders in bilingual speakers? Today's featured project from the @lls_ped lab will address these questions in Jamaican Creole pre-schoolers: wise.uc.edu/projects/proje…
