Discovery of associative patterns between workplace sound level and physiological wellbeing using wearable devices and empirical Bayes modeling
(Nature Research, 2023-01-13)We conducted a field study using multiple wearable devices on 231 federal office workers to assess the impact of the indoor environment on individual wellbeing. Past research has established that the workplace environment ... -
Simultaneous N-Deglycosylation and Digestion of Complex Samples on S-Traps Enables Efficient Glycosite Hypothesis Generation
(American Chemical Society, 2023-01-20)N-linked glycosylation is an important post-translational modification that is difficult to identify and quantify in traditional bottom-up proteomics experiments. Enzymatic deglycosylation of proteins by peptide:N-glycosidase ... -
Substrate and low intensity fires influence bacterial communities in longleaf pine savanna
(Nature Research, 2022-12-03)Bacterial communities associated with vegetation-soil interfaces have important roles in terrestrial ecosystems. These bacterial communities, studied almost exclusively in unburnt ecosystems or those affected by rare, ... -
High thermal tolerance in high-elevation species and laboratory-reared colonies of tropical bumble bees
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-12-04)Bumble bees are key pollinators with some species reared in captivity at a commercial scale, but with significant evidence of population declines and with alarming predictions of substantial impacts under climate change ... -
The Influence of Instructor Behaviors and the Perceived Motivational Climate on Undergraduate Students’ Experiences in College STEM Laboratories
(American Society for Cell Biology, 2022-11-01)Biology laboratory instructors play a key role in creating an optimal environment where college students try hard and enjoy their classroom experiences. This study used achievement goal perspective theory to examine the ... -
Repeated evolution of blanched coloration in a lizard across independent white-sand habitats
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-12-07)The White Sands lizards of New Mexico are a rare and classic example of convergent evolution where three species have evolved blanched coloration on the white gypsum dunes. Until now, no geological replicate of the pattern ... -
The Relationship Between Social Integration and Physical Activity, Diet, and Sleep Among Youths: Cross-sectional Survey Study
(JMIR Publications, 2022-06-16)Background: Social integration has been shown to predict physical activity (PA), diet, and sleep in adults. However, these associations have not been well-studied in youth samples. Using a life course perspective, it is ... -
Diversification and historical demography of Rhampholeon spectrum in West-Central Africa
(Public Library of Science, 2022-12-16)Pygmy Chameleons of the genus Rhampholeon represent a moderately diverse, geographically circumscribed radiation, with most species (18 out of 19 extant taxa) limited to East Africa. The one exception is Rhampholeon spectrum, ... -
Imagining Queer Futures Beyond Boundaries: A Narrative Analysis of Creative Writing
(Oxford University Press, 2022-12-20)Scholars have called for “queering aging futures” beyond normative assumptions or scripts (Sandberg & Marshall, 2019), which is well-aligned with queer theory’s Cruising Utopia which suggests “cruising ahead” toward a queer ... -
Reframing Aging: Intra- and Intergenerational Digital Conversational Agents to Support Older Adults
(Oxford University Press, 2022-12-20)Digital conversational agents (DCAs) have become extraordinarily ubiquitous. Researchers envision the prospects of using DCAs to monitor health among older adults. However, older adults show hesitation to engage with DCAs. ... -
Validation of the Environmental Audit Scoring Evaluation (Ease) Tool for LTC Households
(Oxford University Press, 2022-12-20)This poster will share the results from a research initiative funded by the National Institutes of Health to assess the validity of the Environmental Audit Scoring Evaluation (EASE) tool in its ability to distinguish between ... -
Integrating Telehealth and Community Health Workers to Enhance Quality Care Access: A Narrative Review
(Oxford University Press, 2022-12-20)Community Health Workers (CHWs) often share cultural, geographic, or other lived experiences with patients and provide health education and support. Use of CHWs and telehealth approaches are promising strategies for ... -
Understanding the Relationship Between Coping Styles and Death Anxiety in Older Adults
(Oxford University Press, 2022-12-20)Research suggests that death anxiety stems from fear of pain, worry about loved ones, and uncertainty about what comes after death. Understanding the relationship between coping styles and attitudes towards death in older ... -
The influence of memory on the speech-to-song illusion
(Springer, 2022-01-26)In the speech-to-song illusion a spoken phrase is presented repeatedly and begins to sound as if it is being sung. Anecdotal reports suggest that subsequent presentations of a previously heard phrase enhance the illusion, ... -
Self-Directed Care in Home-Based Long-Term Care During the Pandemic: Policy and Practice Implications
