Area 1 Agency on Aging Volunteer Driver Program Annual Client Survey

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

In 2012, Humboldt County was the home of just over 25,000 people over the age of 60. By 2050 Humboldt County will be the home of nearly 60,247, more than double documented in 2012. These statistics are alarming and should get the attention of all local (State & National) sectors working with the aging population on track to establish and sustain community resources necessary to allow the elderly to age safely, comfortable, respectfully, and with dignity in their homes and communities. In the efforts of enhancing local social services for seniors, I worked alongside Area 1 Agency on Aging on a client-centered survey geared to enhance local senior programming.

Around the Bay in 80 Days: Investigating the Relationship between Bird Diversity and Plants

Quinlan House, Wildlife Undergraduate Student

College of Natural Resources & Sciences

The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between plant species richness and bird diversity within the area of Humboldt Bay situated in north-western California. Humboldt Bay hosts a unique array of natural areas such as redwood forests, coastal dune forests, and wetlands. We examined the effect of plant species richness and diversity on bird diversity in these three habitats around Humboldt Bay by conducting point counts, plant species censusing, and plant density sampling across 10 plots at each habitat.

Art 100 Revamp!

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Art 100 (Global Perspectives in Art) has been fully online for several years. For Spring 2019, Professor Julie Alderson converted the class to a blended format - retaining significant online components, but also introducing weekly face to face elements. In converting the class, she enlisted three advanced Art Education students - Liz Gordon, Alexa Pante and Maya Strauss, to freshen up the How To videos associated with the class. This presentation will present these videos which were designed to help students complete art projects for the course.

Art Integration: Deepening Learning Through the Arts

Other

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.

Art is Culture, Culture is Medicine

College of Professional Studies

The aim of this project was to address the lack of Indigenous representation in the Boys & Girls Club in Klamath, which operates on the Yurok Reservation. We were tasked by the Yurok Tribe and the Boys & Girls Club of the Redwoods to create a culturally appropriate mural.

Artifact Analysis With Adobe Illustrator

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Our project's goal is to utilize the Adobe Illustrator Program with artifact analysis. Using artifacts obtained from the Dos Hombres to Gran Cacao Archaeology project headed by Dr. Marisol Cortes Rincon. We will learn to use Adobe Illustrator to build digital images of the artifacts and create a database for them to be observed for present and future studies. We hope that our work will inspire continued use of this technique so others may be able to study artifacts in a digital and hard copy form so that artifacts can be better preserved and researched in multiple mediums and easily accessible to other scholars. This will allow for a stronger collaboration and interpretation.

ASR Membrane Protein and ApoA1 Detection in Nanodisc via Western Blot Analysis

College of Natural Resources & Sciences

Anabaena sensory rhodopsin (ASR) is a prokaryotic photoactive transmembrane G protein coupled receptor extracted from the cyanobacterium Nostoc. The potential for ASR and its transducer, ASRT, to transcribe/translate prokaryotic genes into products by light signals is an extremely attractive possibility for future membrane research. Nanodiscs are a useful tool for studying membrane proteins because they serve to create a stable amphipathic environment. In the present study, 6x-His ASR has been extracted, isolated, purified, and inserted into a MSP nanodisc with ApoA1 and DMPC. We examine ApoA1 insertion into the nanodisc via SDS-PAGE and chemiluminescent western blot analysis.
