Metabolic ions like calcium are important signaling ions that are involved in many cellular functions such as muscle control, signal transmissions, and gene transcription. Calcium ion concentrations are implicated in medical conditions like hypercalcemia, which can lead to bone and kidney disease. Intracellular ion levels can be sensed using fluorescence indicators. This means we can […]
B37: Neurodivergent Students and College Professors: What it is and what can be…
Neurodivergent students sometimes have a tough time when they get to college. Nationally, more than half of neurodivergent students drop out of college. In this study, we interviewed two experts at Miami University, one who works with Student Disability Services and one who teaches classes on disabilities. We found that while most college professors are […]

B40: Impact of short-term assistive transportation use on Hemodynamics and vascular function in adults
Background Physical inactivity is associated with an increased risk for cardiometabolic disease. Using an assistive transportation device may reduced physical activity that impairs health. Purpose We investigated the effect of short-term access to an assistive transportation device (electric scooter) as a proxy for reduced physical activity on hemodynamics and vascular function in adults. We hypothesized […]

B42: X: Writing with Old English Literature
The Exeter Book (Exeter Cathedral Library, MS 3501) is a tenth-century, early medieval manuscript, which includes some of the most celebrated works of early English poetry. Traditional scholarly approaches to this material have argued for a resonance of this poetry within a monastic, Christian tradition. (Förster 1933, Orton 2016, Niles 2019). However, there has recently […]
B43: Exploring New Analyses in Drinking Behavior
Previous research has revealed that mu opioid receptors (MOR) located on cholinergic interneurons play a role in the mechanisms of reward and inhibition. By utilizing new analyses in drinking behavior, we hope to examine these mechanisms and consumption patterns in greater detail than we have previously. Through the usage of lickometry, we are able to […]
B44: Assessing independence and invariance of attribute perception in novel object: a first study
The current study is the first step in an overall research program designed to examine the visual perception of attributes of novel objects in different contexts that may be supported differentially by the ventral and dorsal processing streams. It is known that the ventral visual stream supports object identification whereas the dorsal stream allows for […]
B45: Development and Validation of a Quantitative Measure of Caregiver White Racial Socialization
In recent decades, a body of psychological research has emerged exploring how children with marginalized racial and ethnic identities learn about their culture and heritage, as well as learn about discrimination and racism, a process known as ethnic racial socialization (ERS; Umaña-Taylor & Hill, 2020). Despite this growing field with families of color, relatively less […]
