STUDEnT SPoTLiGHT Whether working on a doctoral dissertation, a master’s thesis or an undergraduate capstone project, graduate and undergraduate students play a vibrant role in UM’s research community. The following offer a glimpse of student research now underway. Alexis Billings Hunters often ask Alexis Billings for the “all clear” signal to quiet the alarm calls that animals make when they detect a potential threat. The reality, Billings says, is more complicated. “It’s not as simple as one call for one predator. They’re making really subtle distinctions and then communicating that to other prey, as well as to the predators.” A Ph.D. candidate in UM’s Division of Biological Sciences advised by Professor Erick Greene, Billings studies the complex signals that birds, squirrels and other species make in complex environments. Her dissertation investigates the cross-species communication that occurs in response to danger. To study these signaling systems, Billings uses robotic raptors to provoke alarm at field sites near Missoula and in the eastern Cascades of Washington. Her findings, some of which appeared this December in the journal Animal Behavior and which she has discussed as a guest on NPR’s “On Point,” suggest that birds “encode information in their alarm calls in sophisticated ways” and that signaling systems are multimodal, meaning that they rely on a combination of visual, auditory and olfactory cues. After she defends her dissertation next winter, Billings plans to pursue a postdoctoral fellowship. Jimmy Henderson Australia’s University of New South Wales, Project MINERVA hosts an array of four telescopes and a spectrometer on Arizona’s Mount Hopkins. Henderson and his colleagues telecommute, operating the telescopes remotely from their laptops and, in Henderson’s case, writing code that schedules targets for the planet-hunting telescopes. He was recruited to the project by Nate McCrady, a UM associate professor of physics and astronomy and co-investigator on the project. Henderson hopes his undergraduate research experiences make him a strong candidate for graduate school. After UM, he plans to pursue a doctorate in physics and astronomy with a focus on cosmology, the study of the universe at its largest scales. Shelby Cole Growing up on and near the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in northern Montana, Shelby Cole witnessed “terrible health care” in her community. Currently a student in the Skaggs School of Pharmacy’s six-year doctor of pharmacy program, she operates on the mantra that “we need a better health care system, andIwouldliketobea part of improving it.” A Skaggs Scholar through UM’s Native American Center of Excellence, Cole works in Professor David Shepherd’s lab, where she evaluates the toxicity of a potential new drug to treat autoimmune diseases. Her research is supported by a grant she and Shepherd secured through the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Ultimately, Cole hopes to merge her passion for biomedical and pharmaceutical research with her desire to improve health in her home community, where she has previously worked as a pharmacy technician at Fort Belknap Hospital. She says, “you listen to your elders” in her culture, and she envisions designing preventative public health programs that enlist tribal leaders to educate community members about conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Mina May Mina May’s research starts with the premise that if children don’t feel that they’re good at reading, they’re less likely to read for fun. To reach children with language processing issues such as dyslexia, May’s adviser, Assistant Professor Ginger Collins of the Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders, created Vision 2016 22 Physics and astronomy major Jimmy Henderson writes computer code that helps a telescope on a mountaintop in Arizona search for new planets. As an undergraduate researcher with Project MINERVA, Henderson belongs to a team searching for “Earth- like exoplanets,” or Earth-sized planets that orbit nearby stars.
