581 Special Topics: As first year MFA students we're taking over the display cases in Neuberger Hall at PSU to display things that we're interested in. Objects, experiments, and other research materials compose an unfinished piece.
Fifty-four students representing the four campuses of the University of Missouri System participated in Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol on March 15. The annual event gives students an opportunity to share with state lawmakers the wide variety of undergraduate research taking place across the university system.
The student researchers were selected in a competitive process to present their projects to Missouri’s elected officials, and included 24 students from the University of Missouri-Columbia, 19 from Missouri University of Science and Technology, nine from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and two from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Nearly 300 experts working to address the complex illegal wildlife trade (IWT) issue worldwide joined us to discuss how we can collaborate and address research gaps to ensure the best evidence is informing action and policy (www.illegalwildlifetrade.net/iwt18event). A large delegation of the Evidence to Action organisers and presenters were then invited to attend the UK government’s London Conference on the Illegal Wildlife Trade 2018 to further represent research and help close the divide between evidence and policy. A summary of the research evidence on the trade’s scale, impacts and complexity, the remaining evidence gaps and how we can move forward efficiently following the events, can be found in the Briefing Note (osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/35ndz/).

From more than two dozen different species of trees and shrubs, researchers in the Wolkovich Lab gathered hundreds of cuttings in Massachusetts and Quebec and grew them in Arnold Arboretum growth chambers. Manipulating controlled conditions they can examine and compare the response of species from different latitudes to varying levels of temperature and light. Read more in the Harvard Gazette.
Tim Savas is a research technician in the Wolkovich Lab. When he isn't performing experiments on cuttings, he is experimenting with different visualization methods including macro photos and time lapse photography.
