Why Research Wednesday: Adelaide Rosene


Adelaide Rosene (she/her/hers) is a history major concentrating in law, economics and human rights and is minoring in English. Her main research interests are in 20th century American history, but her current research position involves 16th century naturalists and early understandings of natural philosophy and history.

 

She first explored historical research her sophomore year through a History Department class with Dr. Judith Miller called Music and Politics. This class helped her develop practical research skills that she applied in her internship as a Manuscript Archives Intern at the Atlanta History Center. At the AHC she had the opportunity to participate in the John Burrison Folklore Project, and write metadata content for the History Center's databases. “I became involved in my current research by developing a relationship with my professors in their religion course Nature, Sacred, and I encourage students to remember there is no one right way to explore research opportunities.”

 

Currently Adelaide is beginning a research project through the Emory Honors Department on Sundown Towns and Racial Exclusion in the Midwest inspired by what she learned in her American history courses at Emory. She chose to pursue further research with Professor Carrion and Professor Ruiz Espigares to develop her skills researching historical events. Adelaide will apply to graduate school to continue studying history and feels prepared by al the research she has done during her undergraduate studies at Emory.

 

“One benefit of research at Emory is you as a student have much more control over what you learn and study to a higher detail. While my courses give me a taste of many topics of interest, my experiences so far have opened new doors for applying concepts to archival work.” She hopes in the future to not only pursue academic research as part of her full-time career, but to teach what she is learning to others and encourage students to partake in similar research endeavors.

Pop-Up Books used to ease Child Patients' Anxiety

  Holly Cordray   is a senior majoring in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology. She was awarded a Fall 2020 Independent Grant which she used to conduct research at Children's Healthcare Atlanta. My name is Holly Cordray, and I am a senior in the Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology Honors Program.  Collaborating with Dr. Kara Prickett, a pediatric ENT surgeon at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, I am currently running a 150-patient clinical trial of an interactive resource I developed for pediatric patient education: an educational pop-up book for children facing surgery.  I began this project in 2019 with the support of the SURE program and my mentor in the Art History department, Dr. Tasha Dobbin-Bennett.  I wanted to build a resource that would engage children in active learning through hands-on features like flaps, wheels, and pull-tabs, equipping patients with understanding and positive coping strategies as they prepare for surgery.  I am hoping this rea...

A Whole New World of Research

Monica Vemulapalli is a junior majoring in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology. She was awarded a Spring 2019 Conference Grant which she used to attend the Experimental Biology Conference . When I found out that my first ever research conference was going to be in my hometown of Orlando, Florida, I was excited! I knew that having an unfamiliar event happen at a very familiar place would make me less anxious. However, the conference turned out to be less stressful and more interesting than I ever thought. I attended  Experimental Biology (EB)  and   presented  my very first research poster , a memory that I will definitely cherish forever.

Why Research Wednesday: Aamna's Story

Aamna Soniwala is a sophomore majoring in Human Health (on the pre-dental track) with a minor in Sociology. URP's Research Ambassador Arielle Segal had the pleasure of interviewing Aamna about her research experiences. Here it is:  What research do you do on campus? How long have you been doing it? “I work under Dr. K.M. Venkat Narayan with Dr. Jithin Varghese in the Hubert Department of Global Health at Rollins – specifically within the Emory Global Diabetes Research Center. I started during my second semester of my first year, researching global health equity in diabetes precision medicine.” How did you get started in your research? “I took HLTH 210 last spring, and Dr. Narayan was one of our asynchronous guest lecturers. I felt that I resonated with his values and research, so I reached out to him and started working with a post-doctoral fellow, Dr. Varghese.” How has research impacted your undergraduate career? “Research has allowed me to grow as a critical thinker and problem ...
