Grieg wrote his only piano sonata early in his life, when he was still learning how to be a composer. It is an imperfect work, but very emotional and passionate. I play only the first movement, Allegro moderato.

High-incline walking is a relatively new trend with little comparative information. This study aimed to compare physiological (indirect calorimetry, relative oxygen consumption, heart rate) and psychological (enjoyment, affective valence, rating of perceived exertion) differences between 20% incline-walking and level-grade jogging at isocaloric intensity in young adults. A secondary purpose of this study was to establish an isocaloric protocol to compare 20% incline walking with level-grade jogging using relative VO2 as the primary measure while maintaining constant duration and relative work intensity.

This applied research project is one attempt to contribute to the building and strengthening of partnerships among those involved with food issues at Humboldt State University and surrounding communities. While we report some information, we also seek to advocate for even more collaboration among local stakeholders.

My research is done on Ensatina and California slender salamander microhabitat selection in the Arcata Community Forest. Soil moisture, canopy cover, soil temperature, cover object length/width, foliage cover and salamander length and weight were all recorded. This data was used to determine if Ensatina and California slender salamanders show microhabitat selection for certain soil temperature, soil moisture, canopy cover or foliage cover.

My service learning project consisted of working with Mary Burke, Project Manager at CalTrout Arcata. Together we planned/coordinated special events for this year's Humboldt Steelhead Days celebration which included fun/educational activities, workshops, conferences, and engaging art experiences. We worked together with several local residents and organizations who all helped put these events together for a common goal of getting involved with the local community and helping educate them about CalTrout and other's work in watershed and salmon habitat restoration.

This poster reflects my experiences in leadership positions within HSU campus organizing, and how those experiences intersect with questions of gender, power, access, and confidence. Although we might hope that leadership is open to all folks, this isn’t always true in the workplace. It was through my own journey of self-reflection, research and, trial and error to foster my own confidence and leadership skills, that I found myself asking how gender and power reinsert themselves in such contexts. My poster provides ideas for how we can foster these skills for other women in similar and differing situations.
