Undergraduate students often have limited access to industry-focused research opportunities. To address this, faculty and students from 10 primarily undergraduate institutions collaborated with Sampling Human, a biotechnology company, to test a biocytometry workflow for single-cell analysis. The project engaged 15 students with varying levels of research experience and demonstrated that prior research expertise was not essential for successfully using the workflow. Participants followed standardized protocols and generated reproducible data comparable to that of PhD-level scientists. Despite some technical challenges, 91.7% of participants completed the study, showcasing the approachability and reliability of the workflow. This collaboration highlights the potential of industry partnerships to expand research opportunities, enhance academic visibility, and foster academic-corporate co-publications.

Workplace Climate for Sexual and Gender Minorities in Athletic Training

Article

Author: Edler Nye, Jessica R. ; Eberman, Lindsey E. ; Nye, Emma A.

Context:

Sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) are individuals with sexual orientations, gender identities, or expressions (or a combination of these) that differ from cultural norms. Sexual and gender minorities often face workplace discrimination and report decreased physical and emotional well-being from discrimination.

Objective:

To explore the workplace climate of SGM athletic trainers (ATs).

Design:

Sequential mixed-methods study.

Setting:

Web-based survey and interviews.

Patients or Other Participants:

Criterion sampling of SGM ATs (117 survey participants and 12 interview participants).

Data Collection and Analysis:

We modified the LGBTQ Inclusion Assessment and the Organizational Self-Assessment for the survey and developed a semistructured interview script (scale-level content validity index = 0.94). We used means ± SDs, frequencies (%), and the consensual qualitative research tradition to characterize participant responses. Trustworthiness was established through reflexivity (researchers checking bias throughout the research process), member-checking, multianalyst triangulation, and internal and external auditing.

Results:

Participants indicated their workplace was inclusive (24 [20.5%]), somewhat inclusive (29 [24.8%]), or not inclusive (14 [12.0%]) or did not indicate at all (50 [42.7%]). Respondents most often noted they were unsure of which stage of change their organizations and organizational units were in addressing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, pansexual, intersex, asexual, 2-spirit, and all within the community of queer and transspectrum identities (LGBTQPIA+) concerns in the workplace as well as specific actions taken for inclusion. Two domains emerged from the interview data: safety and inclusion. The safety domain represented aspects of the workplace climate that made participants feel safe and includes organizational initiatives (12/12), patient-centered policies (7/12), local and federal regulations (7/12), and signaling (12/12). The inclusion domain represented how participants felt a sense of belonging to the organization through their own experience (12/12), through the experiences of their patients (9/12), and through an infrastructure designed for inclusion (12/12). Participants expressed both affirmative and negative feelings of safety and inclusion throughout their responses.

Conclusions:

Organizations must take both structural and cultural actions to address the concerns of exclusion and lack of safety.

Opportunity for a greener recovery of dysprosium(III) from secondary sources by a novel Mannich reaction-modified phosphorylated chitosan hydrogel

Article

Author: Ong, Say Kee ; Romal, John Rey Apostol

The depleting supply of natural sources of rare earth elements (REE) is a concern to many nations as demand for advanced technology is becoming vital for national security. In this communication, the recovery of dysprosium(III) from aqueous systems was exemplified by a modified phosphorylated chitosan (PCs/MB) prepared by the C-Mannich reaction of phosphorylated chitosan, glutaraldehyde, and 4-hydroxycoumarin in ethanolic solution. Batch adsorption studies achieved a maximum adsorption capacity (q_max) of 34 mg/g at 25 °C and pH = 5.4 for 2 h. Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy, elemental mapping, and quantitative analyses revealed ion-exchange mechanism with C6-phosphate and a synergistic complexation with the amino group between two hexose units of the chitosan chain confirming the correlation provided by the pseudo-second order kinetics (R² = 0.9996), extrapolated mean free energy of adsorption (E_ads) of 12.9 kJ/mol from the corrected Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm, and the extrapolated enthalpy of adsorption (ΔH⁰_ads) of -42.4 kJ/mol from the linearized Van't Hoff plot. Competitive adsorption with iron(II), cerium(III), and neodymium(III) demonstrated preferential removal of dysprosium(III) and complete exclusion of iron(II), which illustrates potential application in the separation of REE from electronic wastes.

Grand View University Invests In Expanded Mental Health Support

Grand View University adds teletherapy increasing capacity and wellness options for students NATICK, Mass., Feb. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Uwill, the leading teletherapy solution for colleges and students, today, announced a partnership with Grand View University to complement campus counseling and enhance individuality of options. Grand View students will have access to Uwill's mental health and wellness environment, including immediate appointments with licensed therapists who meet each student's unique needs and preferences. "Our students confidently face challenges in our classrooms, places of work, and athletic fields," said John Howe, Senior Student Affairs Officer at Grand View University. "Mental health support is critical to maintain the healthy focus required to overcome these difficulties, and our partnership with Uwill helps students best prepare for these challenges." Grand View University launches this teletherapy option as increasing mental health challenges are reported on campuses nationwide. A recent survey from Uwill and NASPA found that mental health on college campuses continues to decline, and colleges are struggling to provide sufficient counseling and wellness support to meet spiking demand. "Young adults are increasingly open about their struggles with mental health, and colleges across the country know they need to do more to support their students," said Michael London, Founder and CEO of Uwill. "Grand View recognizes the importance of reliable therapy options, especially those that are immediate, accessible, and effective." Utilizing its proprietary technology and counselor team, Uwill pioneered the first student and therapist matching platform. The solution offers an immediate appointment with a licensed counselor based on student preferences, all modalities of teletherapy, a direct crisis connection, wellness events, realtime data, and support. Uwill partners with students from all 50 states, including 2 other Iowa institutions: Mercy College of Health Sciences and Drake University. About Uwill Uwill has become the leading mental health and wellness solution for colleges and students. The most cost-effective way to complement a college's mental health offering, Uwill partners with more than 100 institutions including Boston College, University of Michigan, American Public University System, and University of Maryland, College Park. About Grand View University Founded in 1896, Grand View University offers a high-quality education to a diverse student body in a career-oriented, liberal arts-grounded curriculum in Des Moines, Iowa.
