“Maybe I was Always a Feminist”: Resistance Narratives of Women of Color on Community College STEM Education Pathways

Creator:: Choi, Yoon Ha
Abstract:: The persistent underrepresentation and marginalization of women of color in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are well-documented. However, much of the existing literature takes an “either/or” approach, focusing solely on the experiences of either “women” or “minorities” in STEM, without adequately examining the unique experiences of...

Nucleoprotein structure of adenovirus

Creator:: Corden, Jeffry Lynn
Abstract:: The structure of the nucleoprotein core of adenovirus has been investigated. Using a combination of biophysical techniques and nuclease digestion I have determined that the adenovirus core, as isolated with pyridine, shares several physical properties with cellular chromatin. The most notable difference is the lack of a nucleosome repeat in...

Reversing menstrual dysfunction (REMEDY) : the impact of menstrual status on musculoskeletal and hormonal health

Creator:: Kam, Lynn Cialdella
Abstract:: Menstrual dysfunction (MD), possibly due to lower energy availability (EA), is prevalent in active women and associated with unfavorable heath consequences. PURPOSE: To determine if EA improvements in endurance-trained women, using a daily Carbohydrate-Protein supplement (CHO-PRO), will restore menstrual function and improve musculoskeletal health. METHODS: Athletes with MD (ExMD; n=8;...
