I am a researcher at Cornell University in Ithaca
I need undergraduate research assistants to help organize, catalog, transcribe, tag and curate research files which includes video observations of Pouched Rats, as well as research notes and photographs
The tests are observations of social interaction, light-dark box tests, T-maze, Barnes maze, and open-field experiments plus field ecology experiments.

Much of the pushback against Fast Food workers taking to the streets demanding higher minimum wage sounds terribly like the arguments made against those in higher education protesting the swelling ranks of adjuncts and the deplorable salaries and conditions they endure.

Marginalized youth, or youth stressed by disaster major events, are often alone, without hope, and unreachable. Animal therapy, in this case using horses, has been proven to be a way of reaching this youth before then can do harm to themselves or others.
Curious monkeys have increased gray matter density in the precuneusFrancys Subiaul
Curiosity is a cornerstone of cognition that has the potential to lead to innovations and increase the behavioral repertoire of individuals. A defining characteristic of curiosity is inquisitiveness directed toward novel objects. Species differences in innovative behavior and inquisitiveness have been linked to social complexity and neocortical size. In this study, we observed behavioral actions among nine socially reared and socially housed capuchin monkeys in response to an unfamiliar object, a paradigm widely employed as a means to assess curiosity. K-means hierarchical clustering analysis of the behavioral
responses revealed three monkeys engaged in significantly more exploratory behavior of the novel object than other monkeys. Using voxel-based-morphometry analysis of MRIs obtained from these same subjects, we demonstrated that the more curious monkeys had significantly greater gray matter density in the precuneus, a cortical region involved in highly integrated processes including memory and self-awareness. These results linking variation in precuneus gray matter volume to exploratory behavior suggest that monitoring states of self-awareness may play a role in cognitive processes mediating individual curiosity.

African Giant Pouched Rats, Cricetomys gambianus, are native to sub-Sahara Africa but a small population in Florida is potentially an invasive species.
I briefly introduce the problems invasive species like this one can cause in the United States.

Social media can be used to chronicle and share research, teaching, and outreach experiences with others in your field and with the general public. As a result it can be a very important career building tool to professional scientists.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
