Camp CHRONICLE, a weeklong camp in which middle school students create comics as a way to develop essential literacy skills. May, whose master’s thesis examines the efficacy of Camp CHRONICLE’s approach, presented her and Collins’ findings at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association in November. The preliminary results are striking: Student participants in the camp showed significant gains in language and literacy, as well as in self-efficacy and attitudes toward reading. At the conference, May received ASHA’s Member Honors Award, recognizing her as an outstanding student and future leader in speech-language pathology. A member of ASHA’s Native American caucus, she also was selected for the association’s competitive Minority Student Leadership Program, an intensive leadership training program. Citing the high turnover among speech-language pathologists on reservations and in tribal communities, May hopes to play a role in increasing the representation of Native Americans and Native Hawaiians in the speech-language pathology field so they can serve their home communities. Kevin Joyce At the Nevada National Security Site near Las Vegas, Kevin Joyce creates mathematical models and algorithms that measure the blur in an imaging system, known as point spread function. In layman’s terms, he explains, “We’re trying to explain why pictures are blurry using numbers.” A doctoral candidate in applied mathematics, Joyce based his dissertation on his two summers of research at National Security Technologies, a contractor with the U.S. Department of Energy. His work helps measure the accuracy of an X-ray machine located about 500 feet below ground and used for nuclear stockpile stewardship. The Butte native earned his undergraduate degree in pure math before taking a teaching position at the Maine School of Science and Math. The high school’s approach engaged students in research, sparking Joyce’s interest in applied mathematics. This spring, Joyce expects to defend his dissertation, advised by UM Professor Jonathan Bardsley and an external adviser at National Securities Technologies. Currently applying to postdoctoral programs, he explains of his passion for applied math: “It’s a subject that gives you very measured progress. Once you’ve proven something or figured something out, you know it.” Franny Gilman Franny Gilman’s doctoral dissertation research took her to Greenland, where for two summers she collected samples from the permafrost’s active layer, the top-most, thawed layer that gets deeper every year as temperatures increase in the Arctic. Back in the lab, she extracts the DNA and RNA of soil microbes “to see who was there and the function of that community.” Gilman is particularly interested in understanding methanotrophs, which metabolize methane. Because methane contributes to climate change, these microbes are of particular interest to scientists building climate change models. Originally a pre-veterinary student, Gilman first developed her interest in microbiology as an undergraduate research assistant at the University of Puget Sound on a project studying the microbial communities in lizards. At UM, she studied with William Holben, professor of microbial ecology, and collaborated on her research with the Center for Permafrost Research at the University of Copenhagen. Gilman successfully defended her dissertation in December and now works for Blue Marble Biomaterials, where she extracts natural pigments from different microorganisms to see if they can be produced in commercial quantities. Jolene Brink In “Peregrine,” her poetry collection that won UM’s 2015 Merriam- Frontier Award, Jolene Brink uses landscape, history and memory to explore the impacts of climate change. Brink, a second-year MFA student, was drawn to UM not only for its Creative Writing Program, but also for its strengths in wilderness and climate change studies. Last summer, she joined a citizen science backpacking trip in the Absaroka Mountains organized by UM’s Wilderness Institute. “It was great to do field work that intersects with my creative research on the trip,” she says. With the English department’s Nettie Weber Scholarship, Brink also completed a residency at the Kunstnarhuset Messen, a residential art center in the fjords of Norway, where she completed a poem about that country forthcoming in the journal Carolina Quarterly. In English Professor Joanna Klink’s courses, Brink says she delved into new projects, such as an essay she is researching on families whose pre-1910 cabins inside Glacier National Park are due to turn over to the National Park Service once their present owners die. Her method, she says, is to ask, “What are you obsessed with?” then “write toward that and see all the things you can do.” V Vision 2016 23PDF Image | Carbon Vision 2016
