“The Never Ending Story:” Circularizing Ch. Viii In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Chisom Iloegbunam
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
Chromosomes are molecules of DNA that hold large quantities of genetic material in an organism. Generally in nature, eukaryotic chromosomes are linear while prokaryotic chromosomes are circular. Since they are linear, eukaryotic chromosomes possess telomeres, or repetitive nucleotide sequences, on their ends. This significant difference in structure requires different additions to the basic replication process. In prokaryotes, replication starts at a single point on the chromosome and continues until the whole chromosome has been copied. In eukaryotes, replication happens in fragments with multiple starting points. Because of this more complicated replication, the free 3’ ends cannot be fully copied. Unchecked, …

How Fear Of Intimacy Impacts Our Sex Life: A Quasi Experimental Design, Kayla Daulton, Daniel Maitland
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
The relationship between sexual satisfaction and interpersonal intimacy is relatively well established (Freihart et al., 2020). However, little is known about how deficits in intimacy may impact maladaptive such as problematic pornography consumption or sexual compulsivity. Previous research has indicated that experiential avoidance, a conceptual precursor to a fear of intimacy (Maitland, 2020), predicts some of these problematic behaviors (Levin et al., 2019). Similarly, loneliness, thought to partially result from loneliness, is predictive of pornography use (Butler et al., 2018) and sexual compulsivity (Chaney & Burns-Wortham, 2015). The current study sought to investigate the role of fear of intimacy in …

2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
Loneliness has become such a problem in the United States, that even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the USA’s surgeon general had warned of the epidemic of loneliness (Murthy, 2016). Even when accounting for other health behaviors, loneliness increases the likelihood of early death by 26% (Holt-Lunstad et al., 2015). Previous research indicates that experiential avoidance and fear of intimacy are associated with loneliness and resulting psychological distress. However, little is known about how these variables impact daily social interactions and the resulting impact on loneliness and psychological well-being. This experiencing sampling study examined the extent to which social interactions were …
Are Telomeres Required? Genetically Engineering A Eukaryote With Circular Chromosomes, Nadia Richardson, Melissa Mefford
Are Telomeres Required? Genetically Engineering A Eukaryote With Circular Chromosomes, Nadia Richardson, Melissa Mefford
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
Telomeres are regions of repetitive DNA at the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes. While telomeres play important roles in protecting the ends of chromosomes, they cannot be fully copied by the DNA replication machinery. To overcome this end-replication problem, an enzyme called telomerase adds sequences to the 3’ end of the chromosome. Without telomerase activity, telomere lengths decrease and may be a leading cause of aging; while up-regulation of telomerase activity is implicated in >85% of cancers. Interestingly, prokaryotes have circular chromosomes that lack telomeres and these organisms have no need for telomerase. So, why did linear chromosomes, and thus …

Circularized Chromosomes In The Eukaryotic Yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Blake Hoover, Milissa Mefford
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
When eukaryotes first evolved, a transition occurred from circular chromosomes to linear chromosomes. The ends of chromosome have protective caps comprised of DNA repeats called telomeres. Telomeres play key roles in two of the biggest problems in modern medicine: aging and cancer. As individuals age, telomeres shorten due to an inability to fully copy the chromosome ends during replication. In cancer, on the other hand, the enzyme telomerase is upregulated to maintain telomere length and allow the unending cellular proliferation characteristic of this disease. The goal of our work is to explore the evolution of chromosomes and unravel the roles …

“We (Don’T) Talk About It”: Parent’S Dismissing Strategies And Teen’S Discomfort With Sadness And Anger, Hannah Daniels, Kathryn Gallenstein, Lauren Wright, Shari Kidwell
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Oral Presentations
In recent years, greater attention has been paid towards teaching individuals to be mindful and accepting of negative emotions rather than pushing them away. Gottman, Fainsilber, & Katz (1997) described parents as emotion coaching if they treated the child’s feelings as important and an opportunity to teach about feelings. Emotion coaching has been associated with children having less anxiety, less anger, better social skills, and higher self-esteem. The present study hypothesizes that parent’s attitudes and behaviors towards their teen’s feelings will be correlated with their teen’s own acceptance and comfort with feelings. Specifically, in our study of 21 families, parents …
