Title: "It's Not Gay if They Don't Touch": Challenging Heteronormative Empire and Countering the 'Closeting of History' Through Art.
Creator: Steel, Isabella, Department of Art
Abstract/Description: My project revolves around the "closeting of history", which is the phenomenon in which evidence that suggests gay or bisexual behavior is omitted from the narratives of important historical figures, thus allowing them to be imagined as heterosexual by future generations (and depriving young people of gay and bisexual icons). I wanted to create artwork that counters this phenomenon, by placing historical figures and popular characters in situations that complicate their sexuality, removing...
Show moreMy project revolves around the "closeting of history", which is the phenomenon in which evidence that suggests gay or bisexual behavior is omitted from the narratives of important historical figures, thus allowing them to be imagined as heterosexual by future generations (and depriving young people of gay and bisexual icons). I wanted to create artwork that counters this phenomenon, by placing historical figures and popular characters in situations that complicate their sexuality, removing them from the heterosexual narrative that they have been confined to. I first began to explore this concept with a series of drawings of several American presidents as drag queens, complete with drag names, such as Abraham "Babe" Lincoln. I want these and other art pieces of mine to challenge the idea of "normativity" as applied to sexuality by re-appropriating iconic figures such as presidents, who have been symbols of heterosexual masculinity and success, as tools for showing sexuality as a performance—something that is fluid rather than compartmentalized. I want key works to simultaneously tackle the discomfort associated with excessive femininity, particularly when that femininity is applied to powerful individuals, and to negate the idea of the effeminate as weak. My artwork consists primarily of colorful and playful drawings and paintings, inspired by the camp aesthetic and sense of humor. At the end of the day, I just want to confront people with fun images of gay male sexuality, so that they might question what it is about it that makes them uncomfortable, and whether their discomfort is truly warranted.

Title: Utilization of a Diazene Core to Target Sulfinic Acid.
Creator: Morgan, Lexi, Department of Biochemistry
Abstract/Description: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) regulates an array of physiological functions and acts as a second messenger at low levels. However, the elevation of these levels can lead to oxidative stress, a state that is implicated in the progression of human diseases, such as cancer and Parkinson's disease. Cysteine is highly susceptible to oxidation from hydrogen peroxide because of the nucleophilicity of the thiol group (R-SH) to form sulfenic acid (RSOH). The thiol group can be further oxidized to form...
Show moreHydrogen peroxide (H2O2) regulates an array of physiological functions and acts as a second messenger at low levels. However, the elevation of these levels can lead to oxidative stress, a state that is implicated in the progression of human diseases, such as cancer and Parkinson's disease. Cysteine is highly susceptible to oxidation from hydrogen peroxide because of the nucleophilicity of the thiol group (R-SH) to form sulfenic acid (RSOH). The thiol group can be further oxidized to form sulfinic acid (RSO2H) and sulfonic acid (RSO3H). Each of these species exhibits unique chemical properties as well as a versatile mechanism to alter protein function. While the regulatory function of sulfenic has been widely studied, very little is known about the role sulfinic acid plays. Mounting evidence suggests that the cysteine sulfinic acid is more regulated than once thought. An enzyme called sulfiredoxin was found to reduce the sulfinic form of certain peroxiredoxins. The discovery of a sulfinic acid reductase suggests a more fundamental role for this modification, thus the proposal of the "sulfinic acid switch" in regard to the protein regulation by hydrogen peroxide. At The Scripps Research Institute, Dr. Kate Carroll's goal is to monitor the oxidation of cysteine through the utilization of novel probes. This project focused on the utilization of a diazene core (R-N=N-R) with a variety of functional groups in order to target sulfinic acid. This electrophilic nitrogen-containing species acts as a specific reagent to target the nucleophilic sulfinic acid. This selective ligation reaction with sulfinic acids has potential utility for detections of oxidative modifications, as well as regulations, in biological systems.

Show moreThough I learned it first, I no longer speak Spanish fluently. Wishing to reconnect myself to my language and my culture—my own interests also piqued by the romantic sound of the language and the sheer brilliance and precision of the Spanish-language poets I had read—I returned to the language through poetry translation in an attempt to morph what had become unfamiliar (Spanish) into the language with which I have become most familiar (English). The purpose of this presentation is to give insight into processes—of writing, rewriting, translating poems from Spanish to English, and learning to confront and accept the unfamiliar. Over the summer, I traveled to Uruguay and Argentina, where I was forced to speak Spanish only, where even my limited Puerto Rican Spanish was foreign to the European-influenced Spanish of South America. Living in Tallahassee before and after my trip, I worked to improve my Spanish and focused my reading on poets from Latin-American countries and on the notable essays and books on translation that are considered paramount in the field. My period of focus is the twentieth century, and while English-language poets were writing about "The Everyday", their Latin-American counterparts, while still, as Emerson says, embracing "the common," often focused on the big issues of Life, Death, Time, and especially Love. My goal is this: I wish to relay the experience of working in two languages instead of one, and to show how the discourse between languages altered my writing and the way I think about language.

Show moreMany people believe the misconception that Americans live in a "post-racial" society, which overlooks the significance of race on Florida State's campus and across the country. As forms of racism have evolved from overt to covert, its pernicious effects propel the desire to research means by which to connect diverse populations. Intergroup dialogue theory addresses strategies to improve relations between races by concentrating on fostering a healthy environment for diverse populations to exercise group cohesion methods. The purpose of this research was to use the intergroup dialogue theory combined with participation in community service and dining together to construct meaningful and cohesive relationships between diverse people groups. The sample was comprised of Florida State University students who identify as Black or White. The recruitment process involved contacting the Black Student Union via email and snowball sampling for the White participants. Eight participants met twice per week, for three consecutive weeks, to eat a meal together and dialogue concerning race relations in general and race relations at FSU in particular. Participation in group community service projects, e.g. packing meals for people experiencing homelessness, was also integral to the experience. Due to the potential for this topic to be sensitive or controversial, the food and group community service project was used to alleviate stress and provide comfort. A focus group was conducted at the conclusion of the third week in attempt to uncover themes. The participants responded extremely positively with a strong desire for this process to be used in future programs at Florida State and abroad. Some criticism outlined the need for more diversity and an increase in the number of participants to gain a better understanding of different perspectives with people from different backgrounds.

Show moreIn recent decades, museum curators have shown a growing interest in live performance events that would alter the often austere and intimidating atmosphere of the exhibits. Major museums, including the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, have begun to incorporate regular performance programming, including live interactions between performers and audience members, ranging from reenactments to live human installations. This project had a research and a creative component. It addressed the question of performance in the museum, treating the museum venue as a site of societal ritual. I approached the subject with an interdisciplinary focus, employing practical and theoretical knowledge from the fields of theatre and anthropology. The first phase involved the completion of a hands-on internship at the Spanish-Apalachee Living History Museum Mission San Luis in Tallahassee, Florida, where performance is an accepted and necessary part of everyday museum operation. In the second phase of the project, I led a small ensemble of performers in creating and testing out various modes of performance for five different museums throughout the state of Florida, ranging from "invisible theatre" to personally driven monologue pieces within the framework of the museum as a ritual site. I gathered insightful information through participant observation and interviews and drew innovative conclusions.

Show moreSiyafunda Conservation Initiative conducts wildlife research on the Greater Makalali Private Game Reserve, a 61,000 acre fenced reserve in South Africa. Their objective is to reintroduce native species to the reserve and reestablish the natural ecosystem that was once present across much of South Africa. The purpose of my research trip was to examine the activities of mammalian predators and create GIS-based maps that show predator distribution in the reserve. The predators I focused on were lion, cheetah, leopard and hyena. My goals were to receive training and field experience in conservation research and to provide Siyafunda with information that could help with decisions for future management. During my six weeks living in the reserve, we took daily monitoring drives to collect information, such as demographic statistics, prey selection, reproductive behavior, and habitat usage for multiple species. Using the predator information I collected in six weeks, as well as eight years of Siyafunda's previous data, I created maps to visualize predatory home ranges in the reserve. I also helped with updating the identification system for individual animals and creating family trees that help identify the bloodline of individual predators. I studied the past data to help analyze predator movement and population dynamics throughout the years. I also investigated the ways that adding or removing animals from the system affects already established populations. I am working with the director of Siyafunda, Michael Job, to develop a GIS-based distribution model that can be continuously updated. My research should assist the managers of the GMPGR as they continue to assure the health of the ecosystem, especially regarding the challenges within a closed system of overpopulation or species decline from competition.

Show moreChromatin structure plays a critical role in the regulation of the human genome. An understanding of the role of chromatin structure and its relationship to gene regulation is critical to developing new strategies to prevent and treat diseases. We chose to investigate the anti-inflammatory response of human macrophage-like cell line (THP1) to Zymosan, in order to elucidate the regulation of chromatin. Zymosan is a component of the fungal cell wall that induces an innate immune response. After THP1 were treated with Zymosan, we hypothesized that the fungal infection would initiate an inflammatory response by altering nucleosome redistribution and/or altering chromatin structure in a time dependent manner. Based on previous results that showed rapid, widespread, transient changes in nucleosome distribution in the innate immune response, we chose to look at multiple time points at high temporal resolution: 0 (control), 20', 40', 60', 80', 100', 2h, 3h, 4h and 12h. We measured nucleosome distribution at each of these time points at hundreds of genes transcription start sites involved in the immune response. We saw the greatest changes in nucleosome positioning from 20 to 60 minutes, and it appeared that these changes were transient since they reverted back to their original after the 60-minute time point. These results support our prediction that all cells have the same nucleosome distributions during their resting states, but can be altered with the addition of an insult. In response to a stimulus, a biochemical "yawn" occurs to provide accessibility to genes needed to provide a response. The data indicates that widespread but transient changes occur to the entire genome upon response to an environmental stimulus.

Show moreAlthough the 1954 case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka prohibited de jure racial segregation in American public schools, de facto segregation persists in many schools around the country. There is research to suggest that one of the causes of this segregation is the school choice movement, which includes charter schools, magnet schools, vouchers, and other programs intended to allow parents more choice in the school their child attends. This project examines the effects of the school choice movement on both racial and socioeconomic segregation in Florida, a state that has fully embraced the school choice movement. I used data from the National Center for Education Statistics and the US Census to examine segregation on the school, district, and state levels in order to gain a thorough understanding of the effects of schools of choice. The results indicate that charter and magnet schools are more racially unbalanced than traditional schools in Florida, and that since the opening of charter schools in the state, more Florida public schools have become racially unbalanced. Unfortunately, results for socioeconomic segregation are slightly more unclear due to data constraints on poverty within schools and changes in measures between years. Overall this research shows that there may be unintended consequences to school choice. This is important for the state of Florida in particular to consider, since the ideological rhetoric surrounding the issue of school choice and education reform often outshines the concrete evidence of its costs.

Title: Stability of Bose-Einstein Condensates in a Random Potential.
Creator: Pawlak, Kelly, Department of Physics
Abstract/Description: In 1924 Bose and Einstein predicted that certain types of atomic gases, when cooled down to almost 0K, tend to condense (while remaining a gas) and form a "super atom" that behaves like a single wave rather than an assembly of particles.

Show moreIn 1924 Bose and Einstein predicted that certain types of atomic gases, when cooled down to almost 0K, tend to condense (while remaining a gas) and form a "super atom" that behaves like a single wave rather than an assembly of particles. This phenomenon, known as Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), is counterintuitive as gases usually solidify at very low temperatures. Over the years, many scientists have failed trying to directly observe this phenomenon in laboratory experiments until 1995. Using a new experimental technique called laser cooling, two groups led by Wolfgang Ketterle and Eric Cornell (MIT) and Carl Wieman (CU) finally observed the formation of BECs and were awarded the physics Nobel Prize in 2001. BECs are now a very active topic in theoretical and experimental physics, having potential use in dozens of applications. Theoretically, the dynamics of the condensate are accurately modeled by the Gross—Pitaevskii equation (GPE). The analysis of the GPE is formidable due to its nonlinearity and therefore numerical simulations are necessary to survey basic BEC dynamics. As a result, there are many open questions regarding the behavior of BEC's and their dynamics. My research looks to answer the question of stability of the condensate. Given a certain experimental configuration, will the condensate remain stable so that data can be collected? Certain kinds of experimental variations are accurately modeled by a low frequency random potential (i.e. "noise"). By including this noise into mathematical workups of common experimental configurations, we can theoretically test the stability of the condensate. We use a 1D mathematical model with the assumption that the gas is dilute and non-interacting sans infrequent elastic collisions between the particles. The results are non-trivial, and show that the condensate favors periodicity.

Show moreEnergy has become a much needed commodity throughout the world; as such, the development of environmentally safe fuel sources is of great importance. Agricultural residues (cellulosic material) are turning out be an attractive source for production of biofuels due to their cost, availability and power to generate required quantities of fuel. A method to convert these residues to fuel is by enzymatically breaking them down to form sugars and then fermenting these sugars to produce useful fuels and chemicals. However, significant challenges remain in developing an economic and efficient conversion process. One challenge is in determining the rate at which enzymes break down the cellulosic material and in developing a comprehensive model which aids in the design of reactors for biofuel production. My work has focused on determining the rates at which the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose into glucose occurs, and how outside factors can alter these rates. This has been accomplished through the use of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), a device that detects minute changes in the mass (i.e. nanogram quantities) of a coated material through frequency measurements. The gold crystals used in the QCM device are coated with a thin cellulose film using an environmentally friendly solvent, NMMO. Cellulose hydrolysis has been studied using commercial enzyme mixtures and it has been discerned that the QCM can directly measure the amount of enzyme adsorbed, as well as the subsequent rates of hydrolysis, in a single measurement – factors which will aid in the development of a theoretical model. Further, efforts have been made to study the effect of different products (e.g. glucose and solvent) in regard to their influence on the rates of the hydrolysis reaction. This will aid in developing a comprehensive model of the hydrolysis process.

Show more"Maybe She Likes It" is a web comic that tells a surreal story of a girl's development, as though she were immersed in a reality where social internet culture occupied a physical space. "Maybe She Likes It" reflects the voice of the Millennial as the first generation to grow up with the internet during adolescence and to experience aberrant content previously unavailable in print and other mass media forms such as child pornography, bestiality, real-rape and snuff. I conclude that such media is contributing to a shift in socio-cultural perceptions on gender and sexuality. Socializing on the internet is a unique sort of out-of-body experience where one has the ability to be judged by the quality of one's soul, and thus allows users to experiment with identity easily; one can easily pretend to be male or female. It is my hope that this experience enables more people to see gender as mostly a social construct and to stop imposing double standards on both men and women. Many commonly held perceptions about gender and sexuality are outdated because of the way technology has compensated for biological disadvantages which originally influenced these perceptions that have become socially engrained. Though print editions of "Maybe She Likes It" are available, the comic was created to be viewed online, closely relating its content to its form; the web comic is a commentary on the very "space" it occupies. The format of the web comic is inspired by the style of shojo manga (Japanese comics for girls), using emotive layouts and backgrounds to create a tone and atmosphere, while simultaneously referencing shojo manga as a medium through which women were able to manipulate social perspectives on female sexuality. My research includes interviews with the owner of the World Erotic Art Museum, Naomi Wilzig, gallery owner/curator, Catherine Clark, and artist, Masami Teraoka.

Show moreAs a part of Florida State’s Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP), students Michela Sieman and Shelby Young were two among a group of research assistants who worked with Dr. Nathan Stoltzfus in fulfilling what he deemed as a project on current-day historical representations in digital media. The project explores the representations of the Nazi regime in digital media today. By analyzing English Wikipedia pages related to Nazi Germany, this project aims to examine this relationship in terms of discovering biases behind editors and editing trends. With the prevalence of digital media and technology in today’s society and information now at everyone’s fingertips, it is important that this information is represented truthfully and with no hint of personal bias or unsupported claims. Despite the inability to produce conclusive results, the project has already identified trends of Wikipedia editing, the types of editors on the Nazi Germany pages, and some reasons that pages are being changed. This work is holding Wikipedia to its own fair standards in hopes to further present reliable information about the Nazi regime. Through a year of communication and working in various settings, this research group was able to explore a research area as well as open up pathways of research for all parties involved.
