“

URP provides students with world-class research experience—what many people from top employers and graduate schools call ‘lab hands.’ Even more than that, students develop problem-solving skills and the ability to ask the right questions, stay organized and work toward an attainable goal.”

MESSAGE FROM THEASSISTANT DEAN OF DEVELOPMENT

I’m new to Temple University and the College of Science and Technology, but like many in the Temple community I’ve witnessed how this university and this college can transform people’s lives.

As a Philadelphian born and bred, I know how Temple has shaped this city and surrounding region. Growing up, I knew many people who graduated from Temple and went on to successful careers. Both of my sons are Temple graduates. And as the proud aunt to a 2003 doctoral graduate in organic chemistry, I’ve seen the remarkable opportunities CST offers to graduate students.

Yet, stepping onto Main Campus for the first time in my new role as CST’s Assistant Dean of Development opened my eyes to a whole new world of achievement and impact. For example, CST’s scientific reach extends beyond the Philadelphia region to groundbreaking research projects around the world. CST graduates, more than 14,000 strong, have achieved success in all aspects of science but also in business, education, public service and entrepreneurship.

Over the past few months, I’ve learned about CST’s commitment to offering real-world research experience to undergraduates. Out in the field or in a lab, students in the Undergraduate Research Program (URP) work alongside world-class faculty researchers from CST and across Temple. For students, that experience is essential to being accepted into a top graduate or professional school or to landing a high-paying job in geology, biotechnology, information science and other STEM fields. You can read about several URP students in the pages of this year’s Honor Roll of Donors.

Other universities might offer some hands-on research experiences, but no other Carnegie R1 institution offers what CST provides: breadth of research options with nearly 300 research opportunities each year across CST and Temple’s other schools and colleges; access to CST’s world-class researchers; and academic and professional supports that connect students with faculty and keep students on track to graduate and move on to highly selective graduate programs or highly coveted jobs.

I want to thank the many alumni and friends who support URP and the college’s other important initiatives. To continue to provide these opportunities to all qualified students who want it, CST needs additional financial support from alumni, friends of the college and corporations and foundations.

I look forward to learning more about CST and its graduates and supporters in the years ahead. If you want to discuss how you can be a part of the college’s ongoing success, please contact me at 215.204.4704 or kathleen.mcgady@temple.edu.

Thatyana Morales

Using a smart watch for smoking cessation

Thatyana Morales, a CST Science Scholar, joined the machine learning lab of Associate Professor Jamie Payton on a project designed to help people stop smoking. “Right now, to stop smoking you might be prescribed a medication or, more commonly, you might try to determine what triggers your habit by tracking when and how much you smoke,” explains Morales. “But keeping a journal isn’t a very effective method for tracking and eventually changing smoking habits. People tend to overestimate or underestimate how much they smoke, or simply forget.”

What if a smartwatch could track someone’s smoking behavior for them? “One challenge is having the smartwatch recognize the difference between smoking behavior and motions that denote eating, drinking, shaking hands or giving someone a high five,” Morales says. She and her colleagues handed out smartwatches to volunteers, and then instructed them to do certain activities. These activities were then turned into data points, labeled ‘fist bump’ or other motions. Once the algorithm is armed with this baseline data, the program will then predict what new motions represent—whether it’s a smoking break or a lunch break—based on what it has previously learned. “I wrote a Python script that categorized all the possible motions which helped to dramatically improve the overall accuracy of the smartwatch,” says Morales. “I’m really excited about this research because it is a way to help people directly.”

Morales’ work in the Payton lab earned her poster presentation an honorable mention at the annual URP Symposium. She’s now working on using the same technology to track the motions of EMTs, which can improve training protocols and emergency care. Next up for Morales is an internship with Protiviti doing cyber security work, an area she is considering focusing on for her master’s.

Brooke Quinn

Studying terrestrial locomotion

Brooke Quinn got involved in research early—the second semester of her freshman year—working alongside Associate Professor S. Tonia Hsieh. In Hsieh’s “Lizard Lab” Quinn studies the movements of animals in order to, one day, apply this knowledge to robotics. She worked on two different projects including her “Bending Rules for Terrestrial Locomotion” which won the 2017 URP poster presentation and that she presented at the annual Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology conference. She is currently working on a project to determine the difference between tarantulas learned and adaptive locomotion behavior following limb loss and regeneration.

Conducting research with someone like Hsieh is important for Quinn because, “there are so many faculty members at Temple who are the smartest people I have ever met, and I feel so lucky that they trust me to help with projects. I am trying to absorb as much as I can from them while I am here.

“Biomechanics is something I never heard of before coming to Temple,” says Quinn, who plans on pursuing a PhD in the field. “URP puts students into labs early in their college career, giving them real experiences. This helps students figure out what is research and helps you discover what you are passionate about studying.”

Daniel Turner

A passion for conservation

Environmental science graduate Daniel Turner (BS ’18, EES) has a passion for conservation, ecology and evolution. Working in the lab of Laura H. Carnell Professor S. Blair Hedges, Turner began assembling phylogenetic trees—branching diagrams to show the evolutionary relationships between different species—of Haitian toads by extracting, amplifying and sequencing toad DNA. On a separate project in the Hedges lab, Turner identified new Dominican and Haitian frog species by comparing physical body characteristics between closely related species. “Without recognizing these new species, we do not know which species are going extinct,” Turner says. “Some of these frogs are extinct already, so this project helps us recognize biodiversity loss and focus conservation initiatives.”

While working with Caribbean amphibians, Turner also studied beneficial insects and spiders on farms in and around Philadelphia under the mentorship of Assistant Professor Jocelyn Behm. In Behm’s Integrative Ecology Lab, Turner identified these animals and used geographic information systems to make connections between urbanization and these biological communities from novel agricultural environments.

“I would not be going into a PhD program and a top lab at Michigan State University if it weren’t for my experiences in URP,” says Turner, who, while at Temple, earned a presentation award at the Mid-Atlantic Ecological Society of America Conference and co-authored a research article. “It set the initial foundation of funding and support to pursue the research questions that I care about deeply.”
