continues to foster a culture of exploration and discovery through its Summer Research Experience. This program provides undergraduates with scholarships to engage in hands-on research with faculty members. In the summer of 2023, five ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø biology students and three biology faculty members participated in the Summer Research Experience.<\/p>\n<p>All students performed 120 hours of research over the span of 5-6 weeks and then presented their research at the Summer Research Showcase in September 2023. This program was designed to give students the skills and experience they need to advance their careers after they graduate from ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø. This research spanned the breadth of biology, with topics ranging from genetics and physiology to behavior and ecology.<\/p>\n<p>Gabi Hansen, under the mentorship of Dr. Ashley Robart, investigated nest construction behavior in three-spined sticklebacks (<em>Gasterosteus aculeatus<\/em>). Reflecting on her experience, Hansen expressed enthusiasm for the learning journey: &#8220;I really enjoyed being able to have this experience, gaining new skills and understandings, and building on the skills that I\u2019ve already learned in the classroom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lun873il-54392bed2710fee55a2eaf8e92576dd3\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lun873il-54392bed2710fee55a2eaf8e92576dd3 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lun873il-54392bed2710fee55a2eaf8e92576dd3 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lun873il-54392bed2710fee55a2eaf8e92576dd3 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/Gabi-Hansen-and-thee-spined-stickleback.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/Gabi-Hansen-and-thee-spined-stickleback-300x201.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/Gabi-Hansen-and-thee-spined-stickleback-1030x690.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/Gabi-Hansen-and-thee-spined-stickleback-768x515.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/Gabi-Hansen-and-thee-spined-stickleback-705x472.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/Gabi-Hansen-and-thee-spined-stickleback.jpg\" height=\"804\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/Gabi-Hansen-and-thee-spined-stickleback.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/Gabi-Hansen-and-thee-spined-stickleback-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/Gabi-Hansen-and-thee-spined-stickleback-1030x690.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/Gabi-Hansen-and-thee-spined-stickleback-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/04\/Gabi-Hansen-and-thee-spined-stickleback-705x472.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-87716 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-87716 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Gabi Hansen and thee spined stickleback\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lun86xuf-20a05a0dc1f00494c77925832fe1f7fb\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lun86xuf-20a05a0dc1f00494c77925832fe1f7fb .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lun86xuf-20a05a0dc1f00494c77925832fe1f7fb '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Pictured Above: Gabi Hansen (left) poses with her study organism, the three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lun6hv6s-41691b205b1aae7197aa92e951a7879c\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lun6hv6s-41691b205b1aae7197aa92e951a7879c .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lun6hv6s-41691b205b1aae7197aa92e951a7879c '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Meanwhile, Maddox Allen and Rachel Weeks collaborated with Dr. Nick Stewart to unravel the genetic mechanisms of meiotic drive in fruit flies (Drosophila spp.) Allen remarked on the transformative nature of the research, stating, &#8220;Participating in summer research allowed me to improve my problem-solving skills&#8230;
