As the final weeks of winter quarter were moved to a remote learning environment because of the coronavirus outbreak, faculty and students at the University of Washington Bothell had to find new ways to complete their coursework and classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many final capstone projects, for example, in-person presentations had to move to video using teleconferencing software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the last-minute change, the results at the School of STEM\u2019s<\/a> Student Research Symposium on March 20 were a crowd-pleasing success. The biology students\u2019 presentations had faculty members applauding \u2014 not only for students successfully pulling it off but also for the quality of their work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing their research <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at it went so well,\u201d said Assistant Professor Thelma Madzima, who along with Professor David Stokes and Assistant Professor Jesse Zaneveld were faculty advisers for the projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madzima\u2019s students presented a project related to her research on how maize adapts to environmental changes such as drought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stokes’ student research teams had projects cataloguing wildlife and analyzing their movements in St. Edward State Park and Juanita Woodlands Park. Their presentations included photos taken by remote cameras showing deer, bobcat, raccoon, opossums, coyotes and feral cats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zaneveld\u2019s students presented projects related to his research with corals and coral reef microbiology, especially in light of climate change.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An independent study student of Assistant Professor Peter Anderson\u2019s presented research on Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria commonly linked to gastric ulcers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the advisers, there were more than 30 other participants\u00a0in the\u00a0videoconference who\u00a0made comments or asked questions\u00a0in\u00a0a \u201cchat\u201d function, including\u00a0Professor\u00a0Marc Servetnick,\u00a0Senior Lecturer\u00a0Bryan White,\u00a0Assistant Professor\u00a0Doug Wacker,\u00a0Lecturer\u00a0Michele Price,\u00a0Lecturer\u00a0Salwa Al-Noori and\u00a0Senior Lecturer\u00a0Jeff Jensen, all\u00a0in the\u00a0Division of Biological Sciences<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking advantage of technology <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The session was moderated and kept on schedule by Senior Lecturer Alaron Lewis, acting chair of the Biological Sciences Division of the School of STEM, and several faculty members said having her emcee the presentations was a big factor in their students\u2019 success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had students introduce themselves at the beginning to check their sound levels, and she posed the faculty questions to the students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lewis did wonder how she might do a better job as timekeeper next time \u2014 without adding pressure on students \u2014 and thought she might just hold up a \u201cFive Minutes\u201d warning sign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think the event went very well,\u201d said Lewis. \u201cThe students were all really well prepared with both their presentations, and their readiness for this new technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy favorite last-minute-addition,\u201d she said, \u201cwas a clap-track that allowed us to have \u2018thunderous applause\u2019 without having to un-mute everyone\u2019s mic. Although I missed the in-person interaction, it was still great to have the chance to \u2018gather\u2019 and see the fruit of everyone\u2019s labor.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Servetnick, interim dean of the School of STEM, said one of the members of the STEM Advisory Board (who are usually unable to attend these symposia) was in attendance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI realized that presenting this over Zoom allows people to \u2018attend\u2019 who would not normally be able to come,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
