A 4,000-Mile Journey Leads to “Sticky” Award-Winning Research for 91ֿ Graduate Student

Though she had an interest in science at an early age, Raissa Mendonca had no idea she would end up over 4,000 miles away from her hometown of Recife, Brazil, studying and doing award-winning ecological research in the College of Arts and Sciences at 91ֿ in Kent, Ohio. She probably did not expect to be wearing a bug net over her head in Manitoba, Canada, either.

She probably did not expect to be wearing a bug net over her head in Manitoba either.  Now, while pursuing her Ph.D. at 91ֿ, Mendonca conducts research in Costello’s lab that focuses on ecotoxicology and biogeochemistry and how environmental disturbances affect aquatic communities and ecological processes. One of her recent projects resulted in her being first author on a peer-reviewed journal article and earned her a $5,000 award to continue pursuing her research.

Megan Schinker, a senior at Stow-Munroe Falls High School, participated in the College Credit Plus Science Experience Internship Program at 91ֿ's Department of Geology.

Research Into “Little Things” Leads to Big Experience for Local High School Student

Imagine being a 17-year-old high school student, and in your first semester of a geology research internship, your professor asks you to identify an extinct 300-million-year-old, tiny and unknown crustacean specimen. Megan Schinker, then an ambitious Stow-Munroe Falls High School junior, jumped right in. Now a senior in high school, Ms. Schinker, chose 91ֿ as her undergraduate school where she will pursue a double major in geology and chemistry starting fall 2019.
