Shayna AllshouseHow Diet Affects Type 2 Diabetes: A Comparison of Low-Carb, Low-Fat, and Mediterranean Approaches in Youth Populations
  Dietary intervention is a central component of diabetes management and represents a key modifiable factor influencing gut microbial composition and function. This literature review examines research on the effects of major dietary patterns, including Mediterranean, high protein/low-fat, and ketogenic diets, with particular attention to youth populations. Evidence suggests that the Mediterranean dietary patterns are associated with increased microbial diversity, greater SCFA production, and improved metabolic profiles.
Brayden AdamsThe Toxic Effects of Manganese on Motor Function in Drosophila Melanogaster
  Due to high manganese emissions from local industry, there is concern about effects on living organisms. Past research showed a correlation between manganese exposure and motor deficits in Drosophila melanogaster. Effects were tested across life stages at varying concentrations. A negative geotaxis assay (flies climbing against gravity) measured motor function. A chelator (binds to the metal) was also tested to reverse motor inhibition. It was expected that flies exposed to the highest manganese concentration throughout the full life cycle would show the greatest motor impairment, and the chelator would reverse manganese toxicity.
Emily ComiskeyThe heavy metal (lead, mercury, and cadmium) with the greatest impact on autism spectrum disorder: A literature review
  Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by challenges with social interactions, communication, and repetitive and restrictive behaviors. It is influenced by genetic susceptibility and environmental exposure. Among environmental pollutants, heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury have drawn attention due to their neurotoxic properties and persistence in biological systems. This comparative analysis will examine current evidence regarding the correlation between exposure to lead, cadmium, and mercury and the development of autism spectrum disorder. Current evidence indicates the strongest correlation exists between lead exposure and autism spectrum disorder.
Max KingEffect of PLA and PTFE microplastics on embryonic limb heart and eye development chickens as model organism
 Microplastics are ubiquitous and have been shown to induce deleterious health effects. I investigated the effect of PLA and PTFE polymers on development in chickens. Fifty-seven embryos were incubated for 15 days post-microplastic injection. Embryos were harvested, skinned, eviscerated and stained with Alcian Blue and Alizarin Red. The width and length of each femur, heart, and eye was measured. Microplastic exposure was found to have an effect on the femur length and heart size with little effect on eye size. These findings emphasize the need for more strenuous research into the effects of polymers that humans interact with daily.
Hunter HanesProbiotics Promote Bone Healing by Altering the Gut Microbiome
 Probiotics are live microorganisms that provide health benefits by modulating the gut microbiome. The purpose of this study is to examine whether probiotic supplementation enhances bone healing. Animal and human studies were reviewed to evaluate whether probiotic supplementation enhances bone healing through gut microbiome mediated mechanisms within the gut–bone axis. Results indicate that probiotics reduce systemic inflammation, enhance osteoblast activity, and improve bone mineral density. These combined effects contribute to increased bone strength and faster bone repair. Probiotic supplementation can serve as an effective therapeutic strategy to enhance bone healing.
Megan HooverInvestigating Heavy Metal Induced Neurotoxicity and the Effects of Chronic Cadmium, Manganese, and Zinc Exposure on Short-Term and Long-Term Memory in Drosophila melanogaster.
 Does chronic exposure to cadmium, manganese, and zinc interfere with memory retention in Drosophila melanogaster? Adult flies were chronically exposed through a metal-dosed diet. Short-term memory (30 minutes) and long-term memory (24 hours) were measured by testing the flies’ ability to associate light with a bitter stimulus. Successful memory retention and retrieval resulted in flies avoiding the light. Oxidative stress was measured as a marker of neurotoxicity to determine whether metal-induced cellular damage explains changes in memory. Based on prior research, it was expected that metal-exposed flies would show impaired memory and higher oxidative stress when compared to controls.

Mallory SullivanImpact of Various Diets on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Symptoms
 Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most prevalent endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Relevant literature was analyzed to determine if the Mediterranean diet is more effective than ketogenic and low calorie/fasting diets at improving metabolic issues (insulin and BMI), hormonal factors (sex hormone binding globulin and testosterone), and reproductive problems (fertility and menstrual cycles) in PCOS cases. The analysis found the Mediterranean and low calorie/fasting diets were equally effective at improving the examined factors, with the ketogenic diet only slightly less effective. Evidence suggests that caloric restriction within any diet improves PCOS outcomes.
Corree HunterAntioxidant benefits of Chondrus crispus (Irish sea moss) in Drosophila hydei.
 Macroalgae, particularly red seaweeds (Rhodophyta), have long been utilized in human diets and traditional medicine due to their diverse bioactive compounds and associated health-promoting properties (Park et al., 2024). Chondrus crispus, a well-characterized species, is of particular interest for its high carrageenan content and potential biomedical applications. This study
Katherine TaylorThe Role of Early Infant Diet in Gut Microbiome Development and the Onset of Atopic Dermatitis
 Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin condition prevalent in infants that is linked to early-life factors including diet and gut microbiome. This study investigates how infant feeding methods influence microbiome composition and the potential risk of AD during the first year of life. Through literature review, differences between breastfeeding and formula feeding are assessed, focusing on microbial composition and diversity. Evidence suggests that feeding type influences development of the gut microbiome and may contribute to disease risk, although outcomes vary across studies.
Kelsey LonesEffects of Native and Invasive Plant Diets on Drosophila melanogaster Fitness
 Native and invasive plant species differ in nutritional content, chemical defenses, and ecological roles, potentially affecting dependent organisms. This study examined effects on Drosophila melanogaster (D. melanogaster) growth, reproduction, and survival. Flies were reared on diets containing native or invasive plant material under controlled conditions. Flies exposed to native plant diets exhibited faster growth, higher reproductive success, and greater survival compared to those raised on invasive diets. These findings suggest native plant material provides more favorable conditions for D. melanogaster development and overall fitness.
Cylee McFannHuman Presence as a Chronic Stressor: Behavioral and Social Consequences for Captive and Wild Wolves
 This literature review evaluates the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on the behavior, physiological stress responses, and habitat use of gray wolves (Canis lupus). It was hypothesized that increased human activity would result in behavioral avoidance and elevated physiological stress. The reviewed studies demonstrate that wolves modify movement patterns, shift toward nocturnal activity, and avoid areas with high human presence, and show physiological stress responses. These findings suggest that human disturbance can alter ecological interactions and habitat use, emphasizing the need for management strategies that reduce human impacts and support long-term wolf conservation.
Devin HershbergerCaffeine’s Effects on Cognitive Performance After Physical Fatigue is Reached
 This study examined the effects of caffeine on reaction time following physical fatigue. Participants completed two sessions in a within-subjects design, consuming either caffeine (200 mg) or a placebo (rice flour). After a 30-minute absorption period, participants walked or jogged on a treadmill until 75% of their maximum heart rate (MHR) was maintained for 5 minutes. Reaction time (RT) was then measured using a computerized task. It was expected that caffeine would improve reaction time following fatigue compared to the placebo, suggesting that caffeine may enhance cognitive performance after physical exertion.

Chase StephenA Study of Organic Syntheses of Paraben Compounds
 Parabens are a class of preservatives found in cosmetics and food products that have recently been found to be toxic to mammals. This toxicity has given rise to potential use as a topical cure for melanoma: cancer of the skin’s pigment-producing cells. The George research lab at Marietta College has studied the anti-melanoma capabilities of parabens but require them to be synthesized by other student researchers at Marietta College due to their lack of commercial availability. This project is a researched collection into multiple synthetic pathways of several parabens for future students to attempt in their research.
Mason JacksonEffects of Citral on Apoptotic PARP Cleavage in Melanoma and Normal Skin Cells
 Melanoma is the deadliest skin cancer with limited selective treatments. This study evaluates citral, a monoterpene from lemongrass oil, as a potential inducer of apoptosis in B16 melanoma cells versus HaCaT normal keratinocytes. It was hypothesized that citral would increase cleaved PARP, a marker of apoptosis, in melanoma cells more than normal cells. Cells were treated with 0.25, 0.375, and 0.5 mM citral, followed by protein analysis using western blotting. Preliminary ELISA results indicate higher apoptosis in melanoma cells compared to normal cells. This suggest that citral may selectively target melanoma cells and could be a potential topical treatment.
Ruthanne RedmanAnalysis of neurotransmitter pH Dependence for Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer
 Dopamine is an electrochemically active neurotransmitter that, when it is not oxidized and reduced correctly, can cause neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease. This study used mainly cyclic voltammetry to focus on how pH affected the reduction and oxidation of neurotransmitters similar in structure to dopamine. Predominance diagrams of the compounds showed a negative linear correlation between reduction potential and pH, indicating proton-coupled electron transfer mechanisms exist for all compounds. Other assessments of the compounds were also made to determine other information about the compounds at differing pHs.
Sofia AbramkinaElectrochemical Analysis of Resveratrol via Cyclic Voltammetry
 Resveratrol is a polyphenol whose antioxidant activity is linked to oxidation of phenolic groups. This study investigates its electrochemical behavior using cyclic voltammetry at a glassy carbon electrode in an iodide-containing electrolyte. Initial results show concentration-dependent shifts in anodic peak potential consistent with an iodine-mediated coupled electrochemical–chemical mechanism. Ongoing work investigates the effects of pH and supporting electrolyte composition to further study the mechanism and improve analytical sensitivity. This approach aims to provide a reproducible method for characterizing resveratrol and related phenolic antioxidants.

Victoria PachecoEducation and Regime: How a Country’s Political Regime Influences Primary Education Completion
 The following research examines the relationship and significance between a country’s political regime and educational outcomes, specifically, primary education completion, or how does a country’s political regime influence educational outcomes? Research was done through a panel regression where results determined that the lens of a political regime is a favorable way to observe and measure educational outcomes as observed in their statistical significance. It was concluded that a country’s political regime influences educational outcomes like primary school completion because of how political regimes shape national priorities based on their individual embedded incentives.
Olivia LemastersWhen Women Lead: Gender Representation and Perceived Corruption
 My study examines how the percentage of women in parliament (WIP) influences public perceptions of corruption. Using panel data from 169 countries spanning from 2010-2024, and a fixed-effects linear regression model, I analyzed the relationship between WIP and perceived corruption (PC) while controlling for regime type, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, and life expectancy. Results indicated that a 1% increase in WIP is associated with a 0.177% decrease in PC. Findings support my hypothesis that greater gender representation reduces perceived corruption.
Brady BondConflict, Confidence, and Capital: Understanding How Unrest Shapes Investment
 This project examines how civil unrest intensity affects foreign direct investment (FDI) using cross-national panel data from 1990 to 2023. While initial pooled results suggest a positive relationship between conflict and FDI, this effect disappears when controlling for country-specific traits using fixed effects. The findings show that short-term unrest does not significantly influence investment decisions once structural factors are considered. Instead, economic development and human capital, particularly GDP per capita and life expectancy, consistently explain FDI inflows. The results suggest that investors prioritize long-term stability and institutional reliability over temporary political disruptions.
Noah RayThe Effect of Immigration on Public Attitudes within the United States
 Immigration is one of the most salient issues in the modern political climate of the United States. This project serves to research and test the factors that play a role in the public attitudes regarding the issue within the United States at the national level. While political, economic, and social controls held no significance, immigration itself held significance as an independent variable.

Abby ShartleCyclicity and Depositional Analysis of the Point Pleasant and Utica Formations
 The Point Pleasant and Utica formations represent a significant stratigraphic shift in the Appalachian Basin, transitioning from carbonate rich to organic rich deposition. This research evaluates the depositional cyclicity and facies architecture of these units using a 50-foot slab core interval and associated well logs from the Caywood A 1H Well in Washington County, Ohio. Through visual logging and petrographic thin section analysis, ten distinct lithofacies were identified, documenting the evolution of a starved basin environment during the Taconic Orogeny. The results indicate that rapid tectonic subsidence, eustatic changes, and fluctuating sediment supply from the Taconic Highlands drove the vertical facies variations across the shelf. By establishing these stratigraphic relationships, this study provides framework for the sedimentary stratigraphy, integrating geological depositional models for application in the Appalachian Basin.
Havana GomezSeasonal Variations in acid mine drainage geochemistry from abandoned coal mine in Lower Salem, OH
 Acid mine drainage (AMD) causes environmental impacts through the contamination of water by active and abandoned mines. AMD begins when the water is exposed to pyrite, iron, sulfate, and other toxic materials, which are left as waste tailing piles outside the mine, such as the abandoned coal mine in Lower Salem, Ohio, studied here. Geochemical changes in the stream were analyzed over three seasons from five sites were collected from September 2025 to March 2026 to determine the pH, total dissolved solids, iron content, sulfate content, and calcium hardness. This study investigates changes in contamination levels, finding a relationship dependent on amount of precipitation and varying seasonal temperatures.
Adrienne HammontreeType B, or Not Type B, Plag is the Question: A Petrologic Analysis of Diogenite Meteorites
 Recent studies have shown that Asteroid 4Vesta’s north pole has a distinctive composition similar to the Yamato Type B diogenites. If this is the case, an increased volume of samples with this same noritic composition would be beneficial. Here, we analyze four previously characterized orthopyroxenitic diogenites which have similar type B traits, to see if a reclassification proposal should be warranted. Pyroxene composition, plagioclase abundance, and potential shock features potentially suggest formation via the Rheasilvia impact basin antipodal melting of eucritic material. This would positively suggest reclassification as a type B diogenite.
Alex PoseyDeposition of the Point Pleasant Formation
 The objective of this research is to perform detailed core facies analysis on the Point Pleasant formation of Washington county OH in order to document patterns and trends of cyclicity to document cyclic changes in relation to sea level, sediment supply, and or plate tectonics. This study will petrographically analyze oil and gas well cores, with the intention to correlate to other samples or well logs. This will allow for a greater understanding of the depositional environment of the Point Pleasant formation and its likely location and characteristics which would be critical information for oil and gas exploration.

Lais Gabriela, Mora FloresMy New Philosophy of Acting: Meisner Technique and Child Psychology in the Role of Sally Brown
 This capstone examines my performance as Sally Brown in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown through the principles of the Meisner Technique and insights from Child Psychology. By focusing on truthful, moment-to-moment reactions, Meisner exercises such as repetition and emotional preparation supported the development of Sally’s impulsive emotional life and imaginative thinking. Incorporating child psychology helped ground Sally’s exaggerated responses in recognizable developmental behaviors. This process explored how actors can portray childlike characters with authenticity rather than caricature, demonstrating how psychological frameworks and Meisner-based training can deepen spontaneity, emotional truth, and playfulness in performance.
Maurice RileyBeing Charlie Brown: Living Truthfully Under Imaginary Circumstances
 This capstone explores the application of the Meisner technique in portraying Charlie Brown in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Focusing on truthful, moment-to-moment reactions, the process emphasizes listening, emotional preparation, and authentic connection within a heightened, comic world. Through rehearsal and performance, this project examines how Meisner’s principles transform a familiar, stylized character into a grounded and relatable human experience. Ultimately, the work demonstrates how truthful behavior under imaginary circumstances can deepen both actor engagement and audience connection.
Lais Gabriela ForesConnecting Audiences and Performance: Producing and Box Office Work in a Regional Theatre
 This capstone reflects on my internship at Peoples Bank Theatre, focusing on theatre producing and box office operations within a regional performing arts venue. Through supporting event coordination, ticketing, and patron services, I gained insight into the logistical and administrative processes that sustain live performance. Working closely with audiences at the box office while assisting with production planning revealed the interconnected relationship between artistic programming, financial sustainability, and audience engagement. This experience highlights how producing and front-of-house operations work together to create accessible and successful live theatre experiences for the community.
