This project will focus on the nonverbal communication patterns of psychopathic offenders or serial killers. We will be researching this topic both through the use of peer-reviewed studies and articles as well as making our own observations and taking notes on video interviews of multiple serial killers and comparing to the current literature.

Since 2020, opposition to Critical Race Theory (CRT) in schools has been a highly controversial topic. The heated topic and buzzwords on social media and conservative news media look dramatically different than the CRT of academic disciplines. This begs the question, what do opponents of CRT believe it to be, and why are they opposed to it? This research utilizes open-ended qualitative interviews to uncover what opponents of CRT believe it to be and why people are opposed to it.

I looked the current literature on ticks to determine the different variables that could impact the abundance of ticks

Humboldt County's Housing and Substance Use crises have intensified in recent years, leaving too few treatment and transitional living opportunities for families in recovery. This project seeks to document the urgency of the gap in services for Tribal and non-Tribal people, and streamline existing referral and resource channels under the new Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System. Long term goals include a comprehensive continuum of integrated dual recovery support and safe housing for parents. Further inquiry and collaboration with county government, NCHIIN, UIHS, Healthy Moms, and Yurok Family Wellness Court are recommended.

This project sampled benthic macroinvertebrate communities present at three locations in Humboldt County, California totaling 1642 individuals across 19 families. The composition of taxa differed significantly between upstream and downstream sites (p < 0.0000). Pollution taxa sensitive (Caenidae, Perlodidae, Pteronarcyidae, and Lepidostomatidae were present in the upstream sites and absent from the downstream site.

The present study investigated the relationship between sibling caretaking experience and the ability to recognize emotions in children’s faces. Accuracy for recognizing emotional displays in children's faces was compared among individuals with younger siblings, older siblings, and no siblings. We did not find any evidence that having siblings impacts sensitivity to emotional displays in children's faces. We did, however, find evidence that some emotions are more easily assessed than others regardless of sibling status.

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has become popular in recent years, but a lack of guidelines for interval intensities and margins compromise exercise prescription. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 3 HIIT sessions and 1 continuous running session of the same average intensity (80% VO2max) on total Run Time to Exhaustion (TE). Ten adult male recreational runners (Age=22.9 ± 2.5 yr, Height=1.72 ± 0.1m, Body Mass=74.1 ± 7.4 kg) completed running sessions, with HIIT trials featuring 2 minute bouts and a 1:1 ratio of work to active recovery. A repeated measures ANOVA revealed mean TE differed significantly between conditions (F (3, 27) = 23.4071, p < 0.05).

The Quapaw tribe has been detrimentally impacted by the Tar Creek mines. These mines have now turned into a Superfund site. However, the issues surrounding near by water source contamination is still negatively impacting this tribe specifically in regards to health and food sovereignty.

The North Coast Arts Integration Project (NCAIP) is a four-year federally funded project that seeks to integrate and strengthen arts instruction in eight rural elementary and middle schools with the goal of improving student academic performance, reasoning skills, creative thinking and engagement. NCAIP increases student exposure to the arts through field trips and in-­school performances by local, national and international performing artists. In addition, our project builds community bridges by partnering teachers with local teaching artists and other local arts institutions. We will share examples of an arts integrated lesson and provide a chance for you to have a short arts experience.
