Boy Meets Girl, Boy, Girl: Subverting Master Narratives
Wed April 26 | UC 310 | Time: 10:00 – 10:15 a.m.
Come to URCAD on Wednesday, April 26 where Caleb Metcalf will present his research “Boy Meets Girl, Boy, Girl: Subverting Master Narratives in the Web-Series MANN/FRAU”. His presentation will focus on the German comedy web-series MANN/FRAU (“MAN/WOMAN”).
MANN/FRAU is atypical in its approach to New Queer Cinema, as the first season revolves around a heteronormative “boy-meets-girl” master narrative, which is subverted and developed into a counternarrative in the second season to explore various issues including polyamorous relationships and the view of sexuality as a spectrum.

Researcher of the Week: Junaid Bhatti
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
He is a Biology major and an independent researcher. He is also a Teaching Assistant for both Biology 300 and 303, as well as a tutor for the Math Lab and Writing Center. He plans to attend medical school, become a doctor, and ultimately make a positive impact on the world. His advice on beginning in research, "Get started early!!! My biggest regret about research is that I didn’t get started as early as I should have. Working in a lab is a very rewarding experience that you learn a lot from. Getting involved early allows you to maximize what you gain and gives you enough time to pursue any long-term projects. Time is an invaluable resource and this is especially true with research."
Junaid's research will explore the efforts that will pave the way for the next-generation applications in human regenerative medicine. For more than a century, scientists have been captivated by the regenerative capabilities of the planarian flatworm, which can regenerate a full body from almost any type of amputation. To understand the mechanisms controlling this extraordinary ability, research approaches based on surgical, pharmacological, and genetic manipulations have been used extensively to produce a huge dataset of experimental results disseminated through the literature. The rise of sophisticated machine learning algorithms and computational power has brought upon a novel way of studying these fascinating creatures.

Researcher of the Week: Stephanie Milani
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
Meet Stephanie,
She is a double major student working on her degrees in Computer Science and Psychology. She is a member of the Honors College, the Vice President of the Computer Science Education club, a member of the Retriever Robotics Club, a CWIT affiliate, and the Curriculum Development Coordinator for the Creative Coders Program. She is also a Research Assistant for CS Matters in Maryland and a Research Assistant for the Multi-Agent Planning and Learning (MAPLE) lab. Previously, she was the Secretary of QUMBC. Her future ambitions are to continue researching Artificial Intelligence or a related field and to continue with outreach in computer science education.
Stephanie's research will explore a recently developed method of hierarchical planning: a hierarchy of abstract Markov decision processes (AMDPs). AMDPs seek to address the immensely challenging problems that decision-making agents face when operating in large environments to solve complex tasks. A hierarchy of AMDPs provides a framework for decomposing such problems into distinct, related subtasks. Her previous tasks for research in this area were to design an AMDP hierarchy for a house-building domain and to collaborate with her lab members to research and write a paper combining the R-MAX algorithm with AMDPs. Currently, she is working with her lab members to research and write a paper on constructing and reasoning over composite objects.

Integrative Biological Studies of Honey Bees
International internship in the Republic of Turkey
Title: Integrative Biological Studies of Honey Bees in the Republic of Turkey
An eight-week summer program is sponsored by the University of Central Oklahoma. The first week will consider aspects of the scientific process and experimental design before spending seven weeks in the country of Turkey (based at Uludag University in Bursa) to study aspects of the foraging ecology of solitary bees and honey bees in their native region of the world. These pollinator species are invasive in the United States but have potentially positive impacts on agriculture in both the US and Turkey.
Understanding the link between organisms and their history in other regions of the world is a major goal of this program. In addition, undergraduates will be shown the importance of international scientific collaboration as they participate in research objectives (described below) with a multinational team of scientists from the US, Turkey, Greece, and Bulgaria.
Research Information:
Three broad areas of investigation will be included in the project. These include:
- biogeographical comparisons of pollination systems in native and non-native settings that explore mechanisms of biological invasion;
- foraging dynamics of bees as mediated by visual clues and/or handling time at flowers; and
- behavioral assays to test effects of food quality and conditioning to various stimuli. Within these areas we test hypotheses that are ecological, behavioral, physiological, and genetic in nature. The PI and Senior Personnel links below, allow you to see the nature of the investigators' work in these and other areas.
The program runs from June 5 through July 28, 2017
The deadline to apply is MARCH 20, 2017
Benefits include:
- Travel, housing, AND meals will be covered
- A $4,200 stipend will be provided
- Cost of the Turkish visa (about $25) will be subtracted from the stipend.
- Course credit is optional.
Suggested Majors include (but are not limited to):
- Biological Sciences
- Ecology
- Environmental Science
- all related fields
