Congress okays reducing sea lion populations to help out Chinook Salmon. Salmon are a cultural importance to Indigenous populations and play a key role in the ecosystems it lives in. The idea of killing a natural predator to save another that is used in many ways. The declining salmon populations are being affected by many different pressures and many others are being affected by it such as killer whales.

As participants of the 2020 Math Modeling Contest, we modeled the outcomes of a hypothetical plastic tax. We implemented this tax to help slow the world's plastic pollution problem.

In spite of the initial challenges the students from the U.S. and India faced in an international experiential learning program, they reported benefits including cultural and social learning, understanding different perspectives, gaining communication skills, improvement in reflective skills, and improved self-efficacy.

Check out the library's latest simulation technology, the Digital Dissection Table on the 2nd floor to see how you can interact with high resolution images of functional anatomy and physiology to learn functional anatomy to zoology. Interact to learn biological, kinesiology, medical, and veterinary concepts and details.

This evidence-based quality improvement project reviews solutions for enhancing safety and outcomes in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) within rural hospital settings. Through the application of the Revised Iowa Model and systematically reviewing peer-reviewed articles and professional guidelines, the project aims at addressing key challenges and proposing evidence-based solutions. Solutions include patient-tailored care, staff training, and hospital-level policy actions. A SMART goal aims at measurable enhancement in patient safety and satisfaction through a systematic multi-level process for autism-informed care.

River otters are key indicators of the health of northern California's coasts, rivers and wetlands. We collect river otter sightings from the public in order to assess and monitor the health of our local river otter population, and therefore of our local ecosystem as a whole.

Day of Caring provided me with an awesome opportunity to practice leadership in working for social change and serving the community around us. I was able to work to provide opportunities for a large number of students to give a Saturday in September to working in one of 16 different local organizations that are working hard to serve the Humboldt Community. Every year students provide wonderful feedback about their experience and it was one more opportunity to put what we learn about communities and service into action.

I preformed a literature review regarding sudden cardiovascular death among athletes. In my review I found that sudden cardiovascular death is primarily caused by atherosclerotic coronary artery disease and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In my presentation I aim to discuss these two conditions, their prevalence, and why they are difficult to diagnose amongst athletes. I also aim to discuss the current athletic screening protocols in the united states, as well as what can be done going foreward to prevent or limit the cases of sudden cardiovascular death in athletes.

Existing studies on academic help seeking suggest that students only seek help if they are already academically confident. To examine these findings, The Humboldt Academic Help Seeking Scale (HAHSS) was developed in order to assess student's academic help seeking motivations and behaviors. The HAHSS was found to be reliable, and provided evidence for validity with criterion, convergent, and discriminant measures. It was also found that high scores on the HAHSS were significantly correlated with higher grade point averages. Real-world applications are discussed, such as implementing more effective online help programs in order to aid students intimidated by seeking in-person help.

As a part of a service learning class, we spent 30 hours in two preschool programs. Each one of us had the service learning goals (knowledge, skills, and values). In this poster, we present the lessons learned and challenges that we faced in the field.
