Developmental Neurobiology: Neural Stem Cells and Brain Development Lab
Summer researchers in the Karlstrom Lab will use the zebrafish as an experimentally accessible system to examine brain development, growth, and the regulation of neural stem cell proliferation. Students will work with current lab members on research projects that could include: 1) how signaling molecules such as Sonic Hedgehog affect the proliferation of neural stem cell populations, 2) how regional growth is controlled in the brain, and/or 3) mapping gene expression and stem-cell identities in the brain using fluorescent transgenic fish. We will focus on the zebrafish ventral forebrain (hypothalamus), a brain region that performs similar functions across vertebrate species, controlling metabolism, reproduction, and reward systems among many other functions critical to survival.
UMass Amherst Summer Pre-College - Modern Astronomy & Astrophysics
This two-week, in-person program will introduce students to the fundamentals of modern astronomy and astrophysics, from the life cycles of stars to the evolution of galaxies. Students will learn about Astronomy’s many subfields, including Galactic Astronomy, Stellar Astronomy, Astrophysics, and Planetary Science. We'll study the most recent and spectacular results in the field, such as the exciting new science being produced by the James Webb Space Telescope and will reach into the “astronomer's toolbox” to learn how scientists use data to interpret our Universe. Students will learn the basics of computer programming and how astronomers use Python to advance the understanding of our universe.
Discovering Mathematics Through Computer Experiments
There's a colorful, magical world of math that is far away from the boring or difficult reputation it often gets, and it involves fun, creative thinking, and often unexpected connections to deep ideas in theoretical research. If you like puzzles, popular science and math, or crosswords, or you just find yourself wondering what mathematicians and theoretical computer scientists get up to in their spare time, this course is for you! Students will engage daily in solving different types of mathematical puzzles that relate to foundational concepts in computer science.
