Sophomore biology major Lauren Kippes is completing her first semester at UTC. Photo by Angela Foster.<\/p><\/div>\n

Call it a case of being in the right place at the right time.<\/p>\n

Lauren Kippes, a biology major nearing the end of her sophomore year, transferred to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in January after attending Chattanooga State Community College.<\/p>\n

During one of her earliest days at UTC, Kippes\u2019 Biology 1130 professor, Loren Hayes, asked the students what they were interested in pursuing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mentioned that I was interested in primates,\u201d Kippes related, \u201cand he said, \u2018I have a friend at Yale (University) doing a research program this summer. I can put you guys in contact.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Hayes is one of the creators of International Remote Seminar on Frontiers in Social Evolution<\/a>, an online series exploring animal societies. One of his series co-creators and colleagues is Yale Professor of Anthropology Eduardo Fernandez-Duque.<\/p>\n

In 1996, Fernandez-Duque founded the Owl Monkey Project<\/a>, a multi-disciplinary study site in Argentina that explores the evolution of monogamy and paternal care in owl monkeys\u2014a pair-bonded primate.<\/p>\n

Last fall, the project received funding from the National Science Foundation to launch \u201cBehavioral Ecology, Demography, and Conservation of Primates in the Humid Chaco of Argentina,\u201d a summer program aimed at undergraduate students to perform fully-funded field research.<\/p>\n

For Kippes, relaying that interest in primates turned into a \u201cright place at the right time\u201d moment.<\/p>\n

Hayes connected Kippes to Fernandez-Duque, who suggested she interview for the program. Kippes then applied for and landed a coveted spot on the undergraduate research team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I found out I was accepted into this research program, I was so excited that I cried,\u201d said Kippes, a native of Nashville. \u201cI thought I was going to be taking some summer courses and working this summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting to do research with a Yale professor is really exciting, and I get paid for it\u2014which is insane. Normally, you don\u2019t get paid to do stuff like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kippes and six other undergrads will spend June and July near Formosa, Argentina, collecting data on behavior, ecology and conservation through the field study of the owl monkeys. They will then meet online every couple of weeks during the fall to analyze the data.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will get to decide what we want to do as a group,\u201d she said, \u201cand whether we want to look at predator\/prey interactions between monkeys and their predators, or intraspecific competition like mating, or interspecific competition with monkeys and other organisms in the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once the group chooses its project, the students will learn how to use telemetry\u2014a remote collection of measurements\u2014and the taking of behavioral data.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the fall, we\u2019ll look at how to put together that data,\u201d she said. \u201cI think we\u2019re presenting it at a symposium at the end of the fall semester.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the summer program, the undergraduates will work with and learn from graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, collaborators from the nearby Universidad Nacional de Formosa and assistants from the U.S., Argentina and other countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the PI\u2019s (Principal Investigator) for the program has been working with the Owl Monkey Project since 2011. She went there as a student and now she\u2019s one of the program coordinators,\u201d Kippes said. \u201cI think it\u2019s really cool to see that she started there as a student and now she\u2019s continuing her career there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis opportunity will give me a good sense of what a career like this would be like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kippes has traveled internationally before and even spent time researching baboons near the South African town of Phalaborwa. She termed that experience \u201cvery unofficial\u201d compared to what she will be doing this summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting this opportunity is important because I think this will hopefully propel me a lot further in my career\u2014and a lot faster than other students that don\u2019t get this opportunity,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Kippes said she recently watched Fernandez-Duque\u2019s owl monkey presentation in the online seminar series to help prepare her for the upcoming summer research experience.<\/p>\n

She also revealed that Fernandez-Duque told the student researchers that their summer would consist of more than just field study.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe says we\u2019re going to be learning Spanish and he expects us to be pretty fluent in Spanish at the end of the summer,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about science and research; he wants it to be a cultural experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I\u2019m kind of getting a two-for-one deal here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
