Lexie Alvarado, Finley Lindsey Present at Landmark Summer Research Symposium
TOWSON, Md. - Junior Lexie Alvrarado (Germantown, Md./Seneca Valley) and senior Finley Lindsey (Phoenix, Ariz./Hamilton) of the Goucher College women's soccer team each presented at the 13th annual Landmark Conference Summer Research Symposium hosted by Moravian University on Thursday, July 21.
The goal of the Summer Research Symposium is to create a way for students to come together in an academic setting while allowing students working on summer research projects to present their work to faculty and peers from other Landmark institutions. Participants gave presentations in either a poster or oral format.
"The Landmark Research Symposium has given me the opportunity to share my own research and learn about the research from people outside of Goucher," said Lindsey, who presented a poster on Parental Aggression in the Texas Cichlid: Natural Observations and Experimental
Manipulations. "This opportunity has allowed me to work on my presentation skills and broaden my scope of biology and other assorted subjects. I also enjoy the fact that I can learn more about the institutions in the Landmark Conference, compared to the brief interactions when competing against them in athletics."
"This life changing experience allowed me not only to gain new critical skills and lab techniques that can be applied in the future, but be more involved in the Goucher community and the programs that are offered," said Alvarado, who presented a poster on The Significance of Glycolysis in Drosophila melanogaster spermatogenesis.
