How did you learn about the URA program at UMBC?
I first learned about the URA program at UMBC during my sophomore year. I was serving as Secretary for the Theatre Council of Majors when Janet McGlynn came to a meeting to introduce us to the world of the URA and URCAD, hoping to inspire some of us to participate. The next year, I plan to put together a project to present at URCAD. When I saw the caliber of research occurring with the URA funding, I decided to apply for a URA myself.

Did you know other theatre students who had applied for this?
I've only heard of one or two theatre scholars in the past, who may not have even done the URA and just done URCAD, I'm not sure. I know Shaun Vain successfully applied for a URA last year to present at this past URCAD in April, and his work was seriously awesome.

What kind of research do theatre students do?
From what I've seen, the most common way a URA scholar uses his or her money is to take part in a workshop series or join some classes, usually in a city well-known for its theatre training. They then bring back the knowledge gained and create original work influenced by this training. They often also offer a workshop for peers and the community to learn from them. This is usually pretty helpful to all students involved, as there are a lot of different kinds of theatre trainings out there, and it is difficult to sample them all.

How did you decide on the project you proposed? How did you find a mentor?
Originally, I had wanted to do a solo production as a capstone project for myself, because I wanted to find some meaningful way to finish off my five years at UMBC. Then my adviser, Lynn Watson, with whom I have worked on many projects extensively, suggested that I use the URA as an opportunity to expand the production and make it even better. Professor Watson agreed to be my mentor in this project because she has a lot of experience with actors putting on solo shows, and also she was the one who suggested I make it a URA in the first place. I rely on her for an immense amount of guidance, and will continue to do so as this project continues.

Was the application difficult? Did your faculty mentor help you?
I did not find the application too difficult - the hardest part was truly pinpointing exactly what I wanted to do! Professor Watson did assist me throughout the application process, proofreading it several times before I submitted it. She also counseled me on how much I would need to budget for each part of my project.

Would you suggest that other theatre students pursue funded research through URA?
I would absolutely suggest that other theatre students pursue research using a URA. The support system is phenomenal, and I always think it's incredible when artists can get funding to do the things they love, and to get even better at it. I also believe that, although both Jessie Poole and I are URA scholars this year, the theatre department is still woefully underrepresented, and I would love to see more of us take advantage of this awesome program.

What are your plans for after UMBC?
After UMBC, I will continue pursuing work as a professional actor, as well as break into the costume and scenic design field of professional theatre. One day, I hope to go to graduate school and achieve my doctorate, but for now, I just want to do what I'm good at, and what I love, as much as I can.

Submit your requests online! If you want to show a movie or listen to a CD during your lecture, the Library Media department can help! The Media Booking Form, located under "Library Services for Faculty," allows you to request media items to be set aside for a specific day and time.

These bookings are different from the course reserves you submit through UCORES. Professors who have submitted media reserves can check them out for up to a week; however, if the item is on reserve for another class, the loan period is restricted to the length of the class.

All types of media can be requested. To ensure availability, please submit your requests as early as possible. (You can even request items months in advance!) If the item is on shelf, it will be placed on hold for you; if it is currently checked out, a recall notice will be generated. Media bookings will be kept behind the desk on the 2nd floor.

If you have any questions, please contact medialib@lists.umbc.edu or call x52332.

UMBC researchers now have convenient access to BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine), an online search engine that allows users to search across hundreds of digital collections from around the world. You can access the website by going to http://www.base-search.net/ or by searching for it from the Library's Database search.

Unlike a general Google or online search, BASE targets academic sources, ensuring that the results are relevant and of high quality. With over 31 million documents and 2 thousand content providers, this website is a great resource for academic researchers in every field from biochemistry to dance. And, best news yet - it's free! So start your searching!

UMBC's Digital Collections will be added to BASE this fall - making it a one-stop-shop for locating digital resources from UMBC, UMD, and beyond.

General Goal: Define limits of the utility of C. elegans as a model to predict mammalian toxicologic responses

Project Specific Goals: Utilizing heavy metals as a test class of toxicant, the student will study responses in the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene reporters in transgenic C. elegans.  The student will analyze experimental data and correlate this data with published analyses of heavy metal toxicity in mammals.  The student will also attempt to define patterns in gene expression such that the presence of specific heavy metals can be identified by the C. elegans response.
 
Prerequisites: Successful completion of college level courses in basic chemistry, basic biology, cell or systems biology, and genetics.  Attention to accuracy and detail is essential, as are excellent oral and written communication skills.  Lab experience in maintaining monocultures is preferred.  Experience working with C. elegans is desired but not required.

Project Description: After learning to use lab equipment and data analysis software as well as sterile technique and dosing procedures for C. elegans liquid culture, the student will be expected to work a minimum of 12 hours a week, working in alternate weeks to acquire experimental data and then analyze it.  In the experimental week, this will entail two 3-hour blocks of time on different days to 1. isolate eggs for age matched cohorts, and 2. dose them (the spacing of the days depends on the age required at dosing); a following 6 hour block of time is needed to acquire data by microscopy imaging or COPAS.  In the following week, the student will maintain their worm strains, analyze acquired data, and prepare reports on a more flexible schedule.  At the end of each semester, the student is expected to prepare a poster and/or a paper summarizing and discussing their findings.  Work can be paused during finals and school vacation time.

Compensation: This is an unpaid project.  The student will receive training, work experience, and hopefully authorship on a published paper. Obtaining course credit is the student’s responsibility. This can be facilitated by the Shriver Center.

Required Work Habits:
Regular attendance during standard work hours
Adherence to sterile technique in designated areas
Use only of assigned/designated media and reagents
Care and clean up of utilized lab space and equipment

Minimum time commitment: 12 hours per week
