Two Natural Sciences undergraduates presented their original scientific research at Marymount Manhattan’s annual Honors Day Colloquium on April 14, 2022.
Senior Shadé Eleazer delivered a talk on “Interplay of sexual arousal and aggression in the social dynamics of Drosophila,” research she conducted through her internship at Rockefeller University.
Junior Iris Parke presented a talk entitled “Enrichment of Aromatic Carbon in Peat Over Millennial Timescales by ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy” for research she conducted in the Biogeochemistry Research Lab at MMC with Prof. Alessandra Leri. Iris won the Student-Faculty Collaboration Award for her project.
Congratulations to Shadé and Iris!
