Biology Students Present Posters

Honors students in Dr. Krosnick's Biology Colloquium class presented posters today

Valerie Maangi presented a poster entitled "Dental Stem Cells and Their Potentiality in Tissue Regeneration." The purpose of her research was to study the potential benefits in using dental stem cells for tooth loss and the prevention of dental diseases and analyze current research and findings on the topic already.

 Deana Hughes presented a poster entitled "The Scoop on Poop Groups." In this research, Hughes surveyed elk and mule deer populations in the Kaibab National Forest on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The purpose of the research was to examine elk and mule deer populations in order to ensure that the non-native elk were not out-competing native mule deer for precious resources.

Lauren Russell presented a poster entitled "Investigation of Pond Water Quality at Southern Arkansas University." The purpose of the research was to study the effects of the surroundings on the ponds at SAU and begin to establish a water quality baseline for these ponds, something not in place on the SAU campus.
